You know what I love? I love when you’re given the gift of knowing the unabridged version of someone. Their flaws, their fuck ups, their fears~ goddamn that’s the good stuff. And being brave enough to share your acoustic side makes you beautifully human.

Spencer’s collar…I removed it at 4:11 this afternoon, and at 4:12 his attending vet administered him peace. I’ve been told it’s ok to put it down…so far I have not been able…RIP my little firecracker, my sweet boy. You burst in with a bomb…I’m letting you go with a whisper ❤️

Hello kids! What a great day this is. I’d like to introduce you all to Harper (in honour of #HarperLee ), the newest addition to my family. She’s feisty and vocal, and she’s perfect. She can’t replace Spencer, but she will help us all live a full and great life, as he did. ❤️🐶

An update on the bears:they took a nap up behind the house. Wildlife had the road closed and kept an unobtrusive eye on them from a safe distance. After a few 💤 they got up and slowly meandered to the shore and hitched a ride out of town on the ice. A happy ending with respect.

My little boy has not been well and has been suffering more seizures over the past 24 hours. Tonight his left eye has closed and only opened with a lot of stimulation…if you pray, say an extra word for him. Appreciate all good faith…he’s such a good boy.

Not too bad for today. 2 dz rolls (x-large) and 5 loaves. Although they’re all light as a cork and the smell is great, the shape is a bit off. Might be due to the humidity...very muggy here today, and windows and doors all wide open. Not sure, but that may have affected them.

This, for me is therapy. Time alone in my kitchen to create, clears my mind and brings me peace. Mac and cheese, turkey sausages and asparagus and tomato casserole. Hope you all are enjoying this beautiful afternoon. As always, try to find the funny! 😜&❤️xo
