I’m taking a break from Facebook at present (for the last week). I still go there to cross-post my Dejus posts, since I’m not aware of a way to automatically do that (like I do with Twitter via Micro.blog), but not reading anything there. While it is the main channel for news from family, I just got sick of the ads and other sketchy content, and felt I needed a break. I’ll probably resume at some point, since I don’t imagine I can convince my family to move to a more pleasant social network like Micro.blog.

On the homestead blog: using the cat house a bit more, Paladout becoming accepted, Pumpkin and Bella not so much, a little snow, and more in your weekly cat update! #Caturday 🐈




I just made my first banana bread loaves, including chocolate chips. Turned out alright for a first try, though there are definitely things I could improve. 🍌🍞






It wasn’t in the forecast, but last night we had a little preview of snow, that is still lingering this morning. Expecting more next week. ❄️




In April 2001 Jenn and I moved from NZ to the US. We landed in Los Angeles, so of course we had to visit Disneyland. #ThrowbackThursday




For the first time leaving the homestead this decade, I had a dental cleaning, then dropped off a package at the UPS store, Subway for lunch, feed store for chicken/duck/bird food, gas store for the truck’s food, and the post office to clear out the junk mail from the PO box. That’ll do me for a month or so.
