My life, as I see it:

I made and canned another batch of my September salsa today: lightly-charred tomatoes from @jackmanvineyards, onions, garlic from @hidden_thistle_farm, and a mix of peppers from @perrycityorchard to give it just a little bite. This year I started using @littletreeorchards apple cider vinegar in my salsas and I love it! Less of that acid sharpness you get with white vinegar but still full of flavor. And my kitchen smells like roasting vegetables which is perfect on a drizzly fall day🧄🍅🧅🫑🌶️

A little cat's belly that's softer than a baby rabbit and is also 1000% a trap? Ha ha, I'm in danger.

My son and I got vaccinated on Tuesday (flu & COVID for both of us + shingles for me). While we were recovering on the couch he asked me to paint him an alligator sleeping on a pile of blue and orange pillows. How could I say no? Acrylic on canvas board, 8" square. 9/11/25

I'm roasting vegetables in my oven for what I'm starting to think of as my @ithacafarmersmarket September Salsa: tomatillos from @jaspermeadowsfarm, peppers from @stickandstonefarm and @perrycityorchard, zebra tomatoes from @jackmanvineyards, onions from @hidden_thistle_farm, garlic from a few different vendors (I think these are mainly from @alwaysgrowingfarm)... In other news, my house smells amazing and farmers markets are the best!

Every day Big Orange breaks open her water dispenser so she can drink the dirty water at the bottom. She knows the clean water is right there, in the white bowl she's got her head wedged under, and I'm constantly fixing it for the other cats (who don't understand why Mazikeen does these things at all). But every day she does it again. Every. Day.

My apartment doesn't have room for studio space so I make art however I can. A collapsible laundry drying rack in my kitchen, hangers and clothespins - voila, I have a place to dry the recycled paper I made today. When it's dry, I'll press the paper flat then use it for printmaking, and dry finished prints by hanging them up the same way.
