Christmas time means Christmasy ice creams flavors like the Peppermint Bark by Tillamook. Yummy! But I actually prefer no bark (in this case the chocolate) and only the crunchy gooey peppermint. Tillamook is a town here in Oregon and is flooding right now......scary! Parts of Highway 101 are closed due to flooding.
This Christmas I am planning on reading, watching shows, eating and drinking lots of tea. So continue as normal that is.

A picture in a red dress from a shoot I did a while back for TropiCouture. Suzanne the designer for TropiCouture makes dresses. I don't wear dresses often but I like some of her creations. We did the shoot along the Vancouver WA waterfront, it is really nice there.

Well......it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas because Santa Claus has arrived. This is my kind of Santa.
The hedge down the street from me is ready for the Holiday season.
I had a busy day today as usual. Most of my Sundays consists of a few hours with Pet Pack, a bunch of errands, tidy up my place and then a bath and reading or watching something on cable plus reading at the same time.
And that is exactly what I am going to do now. I am about to watch Episode Two of Bad Surgeon on Netflix. Then I am going to watch some Måneskin videos on YouTube, I really like a few of their latest songs plus Damiano is still the hottest thing around. Ciao.

I saw the ocean and viewed the moon. There is one full moon left in 2023, this year is almost over.
The next full moon is happening on December 26 and is called the Cold Moon.
The Astoria Column with the moon and a barely visible star shining to the right.
Cute!
Little treasures.
I spent some time with Julia yesterday, we went to Powell's on SE Hawthorne. I told her to try to come back for Christmas.
I don't know how I feel about the arrival of 2024. This world is so unstable right now. I just want calm.

I will talk about my fave veggie and dressing meal again because I can't get enough of it. SO GOOD!
A large tomato, I usually get a hot house. A bellpepper, I usually get an orange or a red. An avocado. Preferably all organic. Cut up. Drizzle lots of green goddess dressing on top. I could probably have this every day. So simple and so delicious.
Other thoughts I have around food is that I am going to start eating walnuts and blueberries on a regular basis and add Lion's Mane mushroom mycelium powder to my diet.

It is the third Thursday in November, also known as Thanksgiving if you live in the US. It is not necessary for me to celebrate Thanksgiving and I also don't eat turkey or pumpkin pie. I had a very nice and peaceful day. A walk with Kaya. Look at my beautiful princess! She gets to use Chhaya's jackets and necklaces. ❤️ But I got new harnesses and leashes for her.
I had dinner then tea and apple pie. Fed the birds. Relaxed a bit then went to see my friend Julia that is in town for a few days.
As always I am thankful for all the good things in life. A roof over my head, a warm and comfortable bed with clean bedding. Food. Clean water coming out of the faucets. That I am healthy. Friends. I am very aware of that so many don't even have their basic needs met. I think about that every day.
