Janus transition eve

We had some fine times this year (on a personal level). Still, I’m very much looking forward to 2026.

Weather watching (again)

Clear and cold, and getting colder through the day. Nice morning glow, no?

There’s a bit of a story here. The goats nibbled the end off this branch, and all the leaves as well. Since then, the honeysuckle recovered enough to replace leaves and even bloom!
Sadly, a cold snap rolled in all day, with temps dropping steadily since sunrise, In fact, the temp’s just below freezing now, and headed down to perhaps 24°F, so a rude surprise for the honeysuckle bush.

If I hadn’t taken this photo, I would think it’s another pre-sun morning shot (I have been on repeat with them)—but it isn’t, it’s a late-day sun-fading shot.
Collective action

We had a potluck dinner this evening, and these sage leaves were part of a fabulous salad that others contributed. I brought a big pot of veggie bean stew that some people might call chili, and many others would never call chili.
Persistant

Here’s this morning’s dawn color. Exceptional.
Indoors, this is the persistant plant that has survived being left on its own for weeks at a time (outside where it could get rained on). As you can see, it’s sending up buds again.
Stupendous

Once again I began the day enjoying the early-day sky.
We jaunted to a nearby neighborhood to partake of a small family brunch that ended with an offering of an assortment of kooooo-keys. Throughout we laughed and laughed.
Two notes

Happy boxing day eve eve, said the Guru. And I say it to you.
Also, watch out for a big guy swabbing your chimney with his red costume.
Broken pattern
Tuesday, 23 December 2025
This morning we headed out on an errand and I noticed several houses had shrouded shrubs, mostly a white material, but sometimes black. A bit farther along, I noticed another black shroud, but it looked funny, so I looked closer, and discovered it was a covered motorcycle.
