A golden brown loaf of bread with an artistic crack across the top sits on a silver cooling rack on a light colored counter.

Two slices of bread, sprinkled with dark and golden raisins, sit waiting for butter and eating.

Lots of making today despite a very spacey foggy brain. And even got out for a bit of a walk in the sunshine! No pics from that, or the (tasty) dinner we made, but here's some soda bread for a loved one.

A wood-topped table holds a variety of white plates covered in food. The one on the left has smashed golden potatoes and a filled omelet, two strips of crisp bacon sit on a small plate in the middle, and the one on the right has a small black skillet topped with eggs cooked over-hard. Behind you can see glasses of water, orange juice, and cranberry juice as well as a coffee mug and dish of sour cream.

A pile of cubed and diced roasted root vegetables, in various shades of creams, golds, and oranges.

Today's theme was apparently tasty moments, from brunch with a partner to happy household dinner 😊 Though the planned range of making-dinner-fun photos didn't happen, so you just get a little bit of leftovers 😆

Close-up of a white plastic laundry basket that appears full.

A jumbotron in the rafters of Climate Pledge Arena. The screen shows the Seattle Torrent logo next to an image of the Torrent team celebrating on the ice. Below you can see the final score of 2 goals for Boston and 3 goals by Seattle.

Three deer grazing in a green yard on a dreary grey day, with a peach house behind them.

Very grey and wet around here the last few days, but still moments of #TinyJoy and #happymaking
And some just SatisfyinglyProductive, and some PrettyBigJoys 😆 Talked with both kids on Tues (plus laundry), donated blood and saw SO MANY DEER yesterday, and a […]

Looking through budding plants towards a cove on a cloudy gray day during low tide. There is a burgundy building to the left, behind which you can see a wharf running out to a red building on the water. The far shore is visible as a dark line in the distance.

Several grey-and-white seagulls stand on a section of wet sand-and-silt ground, with one taupe and brown seagull in the group.

A black package of "Papa Rays Marketplace Cinnamon Chip Scone Mix" proclaims itself to be "Scrumptious" and making 8-12 moist scones "Because All Mixes Are Not Created Equal!"

A pair of cream/tan-ish brown triangular scones sit in a yellow container. One is more highly-glazed than the other, but both look tasty.

Played tourist with dear ones on Friday, baked scones (and fought brain & head) Saturday, and found interesting views Sunday :)

A bronze sculpture of a piggy bank sits outdoors in front of a fish market stall.

Looking across a flat roof to a distant shoreline below a mostly-blue sky. A large ferris wheel can be seen some ways away.

A mechanical game box with a red roof and a yellow chicken in side sports a sign reading "World Famous Free Range Psychic Chicken". The window also has a bumper sticker for "Orange Dracula"

The wall above the entrance to a Magic Shop, featuring many vintage magic acv postens.

Made my first visit to (a bit of) Pike Place Market today, with dear ones

A second #TinyJoy today!
A young staff member was standing outside a local nursery taking a short break, wearing pink fluffy pig ears. When I commented "Love your ears!", she showed me she had a fluffy pig snout too, which she'd temporarily removed, and I wished her a Happy World Book Day!

Quite a bit of curly red hair lays in multiple piles on a black floor mat; a round silver chair base can be seen to the right.

A zoomed-in photo of a green grassy hillside in front of considerable brown branches & underbrush. On the left is the back of a standing black tail deer, while another deer is laying down facing the camera on the right.

A rather pixelated photo of a large blackberry bramble with many green leaves on the top layer, sitting on a gentle slope covered in green and brown grasses. There are three deer ranged across the the image, with a fourth deer barely visible in the left section of the bramble.

A slightly brighter and more zoomed-in picture showing two deer in front of a bramble with a third munching inside the vines.

Finally getting in for a (much-overdue, long-attempted) trim yesterday definitely counted as a #TinyJoy :) Bigger smiles this morning when I opened the blinds before breakfast to see some of #MyNeighbors already munching away :) Afterwards went out back to […]

All of Servilia Vatia's complicated interrelationships and character motivations visualized.

In a #tinyjoy, after playtesting my historical microLARP "When Have Women Paid Taxes? The Roman Matrons' Protest of 42 BCE" at the @antiquitymedia.bsky.social conference on Saturday, 1 undergrad player, Hendry Hu, used Gemini to create this amazing visualization of character interrelationships.

A small plush grey wolf sits on a denim-clad knee. The wolf is wearing a gray T-shirt with a teal Seattle torrent logo

The sky at Sunset as seen in a gap between two sets of shadowed trees. There are some beautiful light orange tones right at the horizon line, shading to pale blue up to medium blue at the top of the picture.

A blue sky in the evening as seen above silhouetted evergreen tree tops. The Moon is just above the tree line looking very very bright.

A white and brown tabby cat lays on a grayish-brown wood patterned floor. She has a flat green fish-shaped cat toy underneath her that she appears to be licking.

New friends, happy views, and fishy-time: more moments of #TinyJoy as we say bye to Feb and welcome March

Purple closed snapdragon buds surrounded by many green leaves.

A screenshot from the top of an email box reading "1-10 of 10"; the number was recently _much_ higher.

The torso and tail of a curled-up brown tabby cat can be seen through the arched opening of a tan fabric pet pod.

The night sky featuring a distant planet next to the moon with a hazy ring around it.

Days continue to be all over the place (like for so many of us, and the world in general?), but that just makes it more important to note the bits of #TinyJoy right? Some of those for me include buds spotted Sunday, much-needed inbox cleanup Monday, contented […]

A bald man in a long sleeve shirt and brocade vest is seated on a stage with very blue lighting, playing a guitar and wearing a heads up microphone

A man in dark pants and a sweater sings and plays the guitar he is holding while standing on a stage lit by very blue lights

A man in very dark pants and a heavy sweater plays fiddle on a stage with a guitar on a stand behind him. Everything is very blue-toned due to the stage lighting.

A man in a bandana and flannel shirt is seated behind a stand with keyboard and synthesizer playing the instruments. Everything is very blue toned due to the dim stage lighting

Music and magic ended my week (Fri&Sat;) 💙🎶💙

Got to see Gareth Davis, Alexander James Adams, Meadowgoat, and Synthiak, make new friends, and promote Norwescon and woho/PWHL Friday night 😊 And yesterday ended with the surprise finding of a 'missing' movie […]

Crap night last night killed off any energy or ambition for today. Pain spikes didn't help either. But we all had fun watching Olympic women's hockey, which took some of the sting out. And Gracie mostly ignored or taunted us, between bouts of play with Guppy

A gold-colored, brick-shaped circuit board with silver text reading "Rise of the Humans" above a white label-shaped space in the center, and Capricon 46" below the space. Also below the label-space is white text reading "Marriott Chicago O'Hare February 5-8, 2026", all in a stylized font.

A slip of paper from a fortune cookie rests on a denim-covered leg. Red text reads "You will make many changes before setting satisfactorily. Lucky # 1, 2, 4, 33, 37, 42"

Looking out a plane window over the wing to see a blanket of clouds below a blue sky. Just on the right edge of the window is an orange glow of setting sun, adding an orange band to the 'horizon' line.

How was your #worship today? 10am CW #Eucharist c. 45 present, and we continued to learn our new #Mass setting. 11.45am #Matins #BCP, 11 attending, 100% increase on last month! Enjoyed #Job and #Colossians. It was a big #TinyJoy to welcome people to this new (for us) service. Good vibes! #CofE ⚓️✝️

A silver pot full of chicken rice soup with bright orange bits of carrot also obvious in the golden broth.

So remembered to post prev day's pic, then got so distracted dealing with body things and con-prep and so on, and forgot about Tuesday 😆

Busy day, again with fluctuations, but also #TinyJoy moments and productivity. Hope yours was well 😊

A white plate on a light brown surface holds a pile of golden spaghetti squash topped with a tasty mix of mushrooms, chicken,and green spinach leaves in a brown sauce.

Happy Imbolc / St.Brigid's Day / Full Moon / February 1st / Sunday 😉

Here we had moments of quiet and music and #TinyJoy and DailyDeer and candles and tasty foods and fellowship and pirates and peeks of sun. Hoping the good parts continue through the season....

Three black tail deer can be seen walking past several trees on the far side of a green sloped field.

Lights reflecting off a pale ceiling, giving the impression of a colorful nebula.

A white and brown-tabby cat lays on her back on a woodgrained floor, turned so her head is looking at the camera sideways. A flat fish-shaped toy is to her right.

VERY rollercoaster day today; #TinyJoy pieces include safer car, #DailyDeer , pretty lights, tasty foods, household laughter, enough improvement to bake, and Gracie-cat being goofy 😊
