Finished.In really enjoyed reading this. I‘d like to add more to my weird collections, not animal things unless they can be got safely and without harm but more plant and rock and other oddities.

Abigail says “talk to the butt”
She is the most impossible photo subject….just won‘t sit still. My daughter has a better camera and she still wouldn‘t cooperate. Such a sweet diva!

This is the closest I have got to Barde. Poor little guy is getting more confident and trusting. He was at the back door talking (literally meowing back and forth) to Salem and Mione this morning. Still can‘t touch him, he doesn‘t trust us that much but we are making progress

Darklunarose @Susanita absolutely gorgeous. I wonder if he knows it yet? 3w

dabbe Oh, what a sweetheart. You'll completely melt his heart soon. I can feel it. 🖤🐾🖤 3w
Darklunarose @dabbe I hope so.@he will be so much safe insider. He will have food on tap (kind of already does, just has to meow at the door and he is fed), he will have love and pats. Access to the vet etc. 3w

Merry Festivus, to those who celebrate 🥳
#BookHaul #Christmas
All cultural histories, in one way or another.

Being the time of year it is, I couldn't resist a book about that quintessential seasonal animal that sums up the spirit of good cheer & holiday companionship: the Christmas Squid🎄🦑🎄
Lancashire legend holds that the squid climbs up the outhouse drain with its packet of gifts, which it deposits with its tentacle through the coalhouse ⬇️

Bookwomble ... window. I remember many a childhood Christmas Eve listening out for the squelch-slither of Father Squidmas, followed by a crunching sound as he ate the crabs we'd left out for him 🦀 On Christmas morning, we knew he'd been when we found his beak-marks on the broken crab shells, & ink stains and fishy mucus on the wrapping paper. Funny, we never made the connection with dad's dark-stained fingers and the slime marks on mum's Christmas jumper 😄 4w

Happy holidays from my family to yours. May your day be one that is gentle and kind.

Our days has been good so far. Considering my youngest wasn‘t able to sleep at all last night, not even for a short time.

This is her collection of games. I think we will be playing loads of games in the coming year.

AnnCrystal Happy Holidays 👏🤩🥳💝. 4w

Darklunarose @willaful I‘m looking forward to it! She had the triple whammy of autism mixed with severe anxiety and a virus. Doesn‘t make for a great night. We have learned to make accomodations to make it easier over the last 20 years but this year it just mixed bad. She is asleep now so have put her lunch in the fridge. Sleeps more important. 4w
willaful I hope she wakes up feeling better.

My daughter is also autistic and anxious; it does get exhausting at times! But she's the apple of my eye.

Darklunarose @willaful exhausting for sure. But amazing.we are one of those families where the kids got diagnoised, parents ticked their boxes and went well…maybe we are too..so we sort a diagnosis for us. Then my mum goes “but I do that stuff too”…yeah mum there‘s a reason for that…she is diagnoised now too. It‘s genetic on both sides! But youngest, she suffers the hardest at times, 4w
willaful @Darklunarose OMG, are you me?! Exactly the same story here! Down to my mom, though she's only self-diagnosed. At 80 she didn't feel the need to do more. 😂 4w
Darklunarose @willaful it seems to happen a lot. They didn‘t know as much back then, and when our parents were kids they just didn‘t have a clue. Mum is in her 70s here now. Self diagnosis is valid! Your mum is one of us! 4w
ncsufoxes Sending hugs & support…mom of an Autistic teen with severe anxiety, OCD, & several other diagnoses. The holidays are hard here, too many transitions & uncertainty for him. He sleeps (currently) but we seem to finally have found the medication combo that works for him (for now because we know it could change with age). We have adapted to his needs over the holidays to make it workable for our family (just immediate no extended come over). 4w
willaful @ncsufoxes Sending you a hug too. 4w
Darklunarose @ncsufoxes ❤️ that sounds like we do. Adapt, adapt, adapt. Only my mum comes. We used to do parties etc when she was tiny but it just wasn‘t worth it. She has a great mix of meds but there are times it just doesn‘t cut it. Over time things can plateau. But fingers crossed you guys won‘t have to worry about that for quite a while. 4w

Another morning at the hurdles at our local GP. The poor kid is so up and down with his toe after surgery. I‘d have hoped it would have healed by now but no….im getting a ton of reading done….but bid rather a kid with a healed foot.

Suet624 I hope things get better soon. 4w
Ruthiella Sorry to hear that! Hope his toe heals quickly! 4w
AnnCrystal Prayers for your little one 🙏💝. 4w
dabbe Sorry to read this. Hope his toe finally heals. ❣️ 4w

A Tale Of Three Trees
One tree clinging to summer.
A second tree conceding it is time for fall.
The third tree embraces fall in red-leafed glory.

These three trees caught my attention yesterday at our local park. Each in different stage of fall, despite their close proximity to each other. 🍃🍂🍁

Published in 1901, The Desert is one of the first books that wrote about, and espoused the beauties of, (you called it) the desert. Traveling through the American Southwest, and specifically the Mojave, (an experience that probably augmented his post as art advisor to industrialist Andrew Carnegie), Van Dyke points out the vivid and stark beauty of his surroundings, or what he calls “the sublimity of the waste.”
