A blurry shot of the partial moon in a dark-ish sky,with specs of stars on the edges.

A white plate with pink and blue designs partially obscured by chunks of corned beef, roasted potato quarters, and pieces of roasted carrots.

Phone can't catch it, but sky tonight was lit quite prettily by the half-moon. Not exactly as expected, but mostly good day and evening too.

A very tall evergreen stretches up to a bright blue sky, flanked by shorter trees. A paved road runs in front.

Tiny bit of a walk today! And several more #TinyJoy moments (hours of chat with my youngest, incld movie time, 3 deer, catch-up things, recovery progress). All in all pretty nice 😊

Came across this adorable YouTube video, check it out for a timeline cleanse #TinyJoy #TimelineCleanse www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAbj...

An image from a screen showing a hockey team in evergreen/dark teal uniforms gathered around their goalie celebrating. The score bug at the top shows the Sirens logo, "NY 1" the PWHL logo, "4 SEA" and the Torrent logo above a line reading "Shots 30 \ Final / 20 Shots"

Productively busy day today, in fairly decent ways :) Then watched the game, and enjoyed a #SeattleTorrent win! Very #happymaking :) Hope everyone found some #TinyJoy in their day too

A blue hardside carry-on suitcase stands on a tan floor, with a purple luggage tag decorated with treble clefs attached.

Bright green asparagus sections sit invitingly in a white bowl on a dark brown table.

Drawing of a goat with big eyes, curved horns, and tongue sticking out. They are standing on two legs, with one hand raised as if to say "I volunteer!"

A brown tabby cat with white markings stares up wide-eyed from a white and black bedspread.

Still no answers, but maybe baby steps towards them took up much of the day. Did manage to 'build' a supply suitcase so it's ready for tomorrow's transport.

And pulled pics to catch up on some of last week a bit here too 😊 Tasty lunch was def a #TinyJoy […]

Yep, it's spring 😊

A glass candle holder on a green spiral stem base decorated with leaf shapes sits on a white cloth on a dark brown table with a window in the background. Is a lit golden candle inside with a tall flame

A skillet full of soapy water and soaking utensils sits in a sink with the glass lid upside-down on top.

Made dinner tonight! Pretty simple dish, made often. Still feels like quite an accomplishment after the way this week has gone. Given brain, no actual picture; you'll have to trust us it was tasty.

A lovely view of a mostly-blue sky studded with clouds, taken at the beginning of sunset. The lower-right corner is lit with pale yellows and oranges, and a variety of tree shapes reach up across the bottom left two thirds of the image.

Vertigo (both on its own & as a symptom) sucks. But there's still beauty and #TinyJoy around too. More later, for now enjoy a bit of this evening's sky

Eating a bowl of porridge no painkillers on board and no pain swallowing after 6 weeks of hell #Tinyjoy should really be #Massivejoy

Today's weather - sunshine and no rain all day.

Blimey. #TinyJoy

A pixelated image of a computer spreadsheet

Looking out a window at a sloped yard leading up to a treeline. There is a rock divider with some daffodils blooming part-way up the slope, and black tail deer can be seen eating in the middle.

A closer image of two black tail deer eating grass in a green field. There are some yellow daffodils in the lower right corner of the picture.

A slightly-pixelated extremely zoomed-in picture of two deer lying down in an overgrown grassy area amongst some trees and bushes.

Semi-productive day yesterday, but not terribly photogenic - watched some hockey (TV), did laundry, worked on spreadsheets. Today included trip to the vet so Grace could have some bloodwork plus grocery shopping (with #TinyJoy deer sightings). Followed by […]

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

My #tinyjoy for the day: the Vesna Duo (of UNC-Chapel Hill)'s piano and marimba cover of Rihanna's "Diamonds": www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBW-...

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 […]

I’m having a rough time just now so #TinyJoy is so important. Here are a
couple from today and tonight. My garden squirrel, a favourite tree in the morning sun, tonight’s full moon peeking behind the trees.

#tinyjoy

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 dark chocolate brown classic car with silver trim sits in front of a bright green bush on a sunny day.

A side view of the chocorate brown classic car, with flares from the sun captured by the camera.

Dice Club Day at the neighbor's today.....one of the members took advantage of the gorgeous day to show of their #TinyJoy

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 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.

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 […]

Late sunset view of a deep blue sky with a sliver of crescent moon.

A large spruce tree sits at the top of a hill,with a bit of driveway on the right leading to the road behind the tree. A black tail deer can barely be seen walking away.

Two more days enjoying #NaturesBeauty

A brown tabby cat with white accents stands on a grayish/brownish floor looking up at the camera

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
