Today’s #Thanksgiving #coffee pick: seriously, what else am I going to drink today but #pumpkinspice coffee? Today it comes from Dunkin. Into the #espresso machine with you! Nice aroma while brewing, not quite enough to overshadow the aromas from my other #solofeast preparations, but still very nice. Flavored with a splash of pumpkin spice syrup, packed with ice and topped off with (what else) pumpkin spice creamer.

Paired today with a fruity selection of semi-local apple cider in my recently acquired #depressionglass rose glass. Just the stuff for an afternoon feast channel-flipping between the #MacysThanksgivingParade and Harry Potter marathon.

"Kit Kat Chit Chat"
Teableau for 11/16/25

The larger cat is a vintage Avon perfume bottle holding Here's My Heart cologne. When I was 7, a great- grandmother I'd not yet met sent me a tiny bottle of the same cologne from across the country, so the scent is poignant for me.

"Together"
Teableau for 10/22/25

Mute Swans by British artist Robert Gillmor.
Mute Swans are England's largest bird and only swan. We have them in Puget Sound, as well, but they're an invasive species here, crowding the native Tundra Swans nearly to extinction. Lethal beauty.

Teableau for 09/15/25

A delayed posting, as I was obsessively binge- watching... well, you can guess.

"Tyger, Tyger"
Teableau for 09/11/25

Tyger Tyger burning bright,
In the forests of the night:
What immortal hand or eye,
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?
~ William Blake

My father was telling the story about how we would go to yard sales looking for depression glass, which we would resell at tag sales.

I don't remember, but I guess as tweens my brother and I knew what to look for.

My SiL pointed out that with the advent of the Internet anyone can figure out the value of just about anything at a yard sale now. I hadn't considered that before.
