The Micro.blog challenge word for day 2 is “concentrate“. As many will observe, it will be hard to concentrate on work for the next couple of days… but I’ve got lots to do, so will leverage my ability to not worry about things I can’t control. 📷 #mbnov
In November we’re doing a Microblogvember challenge on Micro.blog, where @macgenie posts a random word each day. The word for day 1 is “dreary“. Daylight Saving Time just ended, so I have the dreary task of resetting several clocks. 📷🕰 #mbnov
What better treat for the chickens on Halloween than a pumpkin?! Plus I noticed a great-looking spiderweb between some of the pumpkins from our garden in the breezeway. 🕸🎃🐓
Uh oh… my AirPods Pro must have heard of Apple’s new service program, as the right earbud has just started crackling while in use. I thought I was one of the lucky few that didn’t have that issue. (Resetting didn’t help.)

On the homestead blog: your weekly flock update. This week, I am highlighting 20 chicken-related pictures plus 12 duck pictures, along with a summary GIF of 59 candidates. #FlockFriday 🦆🐓
One more for #NationalCatDay: I can’t neglect to mention our family of feral cats. Here are some pictures of inside their heated shelter and three cabins from last night. Learn more about them on my homestead feral cats page. 🐈
Also for #NationalCatDay, our current pet cats Paladin and Pippin sharing the cat tower yesterday and today. Normally they don’t like to be that close to each other, except when there’s food involved. 🐈
It’s #NationalCatDay and #ThrowbackThursday, so here are some pictures of our former cat Pixel from 2005, enjoying some leashed outside time (he grew up indoor/outdoor in NZ, then became indoor-only except when leashed when we moved to the US). 🐈
