What Am I Doing Now?

Happy Tuesday friends,

Things have been slow lately so I'm gonna take pages from Julie Wunder and Austin Kleon and tell you some of the things I've been doing recently.

Bookwise: I was reading through the Cecilia and Kate series by Patricia C. Wrede and Caroline Stevermer. I got part way through the The Mislaid Magician: or Ten Years After when I saw I wasn't going to finish it before it was time to return it, because it's difficult for me to visit even the nearest branch of my local library I use the digital library and check them out through my kindle app. I'm not sure how to extend my check out, and I don't want overdue fees so I figured I return it an check it back out, didn't realize someone else was on the waiting list, so I'm waiting for it so I can finish. Sadly not all peeps can speed read like I tend to.

Binging: Still watching Critical Role I'm making my way through the second campaign. I love the characters especially Jesture, she's just adorable and mischievous. If I keep watching at this rate I'll be caught up before long. Upside caught up, downside what to watch on the bad anxiety nights, never fear I am going to rewatch and maybe actually finish Barky's Brigade.

Music: I have The Old Ways from Loreena McKennitt's The Visit album stuck in my brain. It's a beautiful song. It's based off a New Year's Eve experience she had the turn is as haunting as she says the experience was in her song description on the CD booklet (Hit the info tab on the website to read it for yourself). I love to lay in bed and listen to this song.

Food: I have been eating everything in sight lately. I'm hungry constantly lately. I think it maybe one of my meds. Cause I had some trouble with eating like this last time I was at a full pill of it. I am thinking about making up some of Sugar Bean Bakers' Pumpkindoodle Cookies, they are so yummy. 

Animal Friends: In the backwoods we have many wild animals that we encounter. I heard a deer snorting last night, I've also heard the call of a screech owl.

For a few days I made the acquaintance of a frog hanging out on a trail, sadly it seems to have moved on, I wish I'd gotten a picture.

I did get a picture of this cute ground hog out my window:

It's things like this that make me happy to live where I do.

Other Things I'm Noticing: I've been noticing couple spider webs. The first is one made on the trail where I spotted the frog. I first noticed the huge spider in the middle of it. Then as days go by I look up in it to see what's up with it. Seems the spider has left it, but it's still hanging there. Sadly due to it's position I couldn't get a picture of it.

The second web I noticed in this morning's sunlight. It shone like a brilliant rainbow of colors. The photo doesn't do it justice:

Saying Goodbye: We had to say goodbye to an old friend. A pine tree:

It was dying we think due to some ivy and it'd got over grown from us not being able to trim it. So we bid it adieu.

What are you guys up to this week? Let me know in the comments.

I hope your week is good, happy Fall, and may God Bless You!

Moon, Groundhogs, and the Fight Against Gravity

Hello My Friends,
Well it's cold... again. We got hit with a smidgen of snow, and I hear more is coming. Whoop. *she says sarcastically* Well at least we got a warm fire and a roof over our heads, Thank You Lord! *Looks at Pencil and snorts* It has the words BE SHARP on it... LOL. Yes I'm being very random, I think it's my messed up sleep schedule.

Moon's Triple Fold Show
So Wednesday was the "Super Blue Blood Moon". I happened to still be up that and even though it wasn't a full eclipse for me I had to see it, cause who knows if I'll be around the next time this happens, I mean God willing, but you never know. It was cold as heck with snow still around, and the fact the sun had yet to rise, but I took in this beautiful event despite these facts. Luckily it's setting point on Wednesday above the most western mountains so it didn't set before the partial eclipse started.
The sky was in it's usual light blues and pinks of pre dawn, a few stars were hanging on to the sky.The moon looked like it had a yellow tone to it. Soon it began to be over shadowed, at one point it looked as though the tree branches was trying to keep it aloft. Then after it was partially darkened it just faded away. I never see the moon fade mid eclipse like that, it was amazing. I was a mecicle by the time I got back in, but it was worth it.

Sadly due to a deleting screw up I only have one of the pictures, granted they weren't the best pics, but still ERRRRR... But here's my only crappy pic of the "Super Blue Blood Moon" for you guys.

Why Phil Why!
Well the 2nd was groundhog day. I woke up early and found my Mom watching Groundhog Day. Then on The Weather Channel we watched the famous Phil's prediction, 6 more weeks of weather. *Cue Dramatic NOOOOOO!* I picked up our cat Mousey and asked what his prediction was, probably put me down or I predict much pain in your future. I feel like I should know this, but does anyone know how this whole groundhog thing got started?

Once upon a time we had a groundhog that's den was on the hill above the second curb after you turn on the road. My grandpa noticed the critter first I think, afterwards it was either him, my sister, or me who dubbed it Groundhog Curb. Sadly I don't think there's any there anymore.

Fun fact in old day I don't know if this is just in area they use to refer to groundhogs as Whistle Pigs.

Losing the Fight With Gravity ...Again

Well I faced off with my old frenemy gravity once more... and lost... again. I was putting wood on the porch and caught my foot on a piece of wood and crashed. The left index finger and knee got skinned up. But all is well I got bandaged up, and finished getting wood, I even had time to chat with a passing deer... What? *cue that hippy guy from Animaniacs* It's called communing with nature man!
I hope you all have a good rest of the weekend my friends. Take time to enough nature! God Bless You!
