Twilight Dawn

Moonset with Jupiter in the trees with Pollux and Castor making eyes above the trees.
The cranes were flying in, hopping around, and a splishing and a splashing while taking baths in the river.

Jake’s and my first early morning walk of 2026 was in the rain.



Spunk: “For people who want to know how to make a kitty concoction to start the new year, first, the pesky paparazzo has to do photos of me looking adorable in the stock pot.

“Then we soak black-eyed peas overnight before cooking them the next morning.”



“We cook the meat, vegetables and spices separately, and mix them into the black-eyed peas. Lastly, we add greens to the kitty concoction, stir them in until they wilt into the mix, and, Voilà!, the black-eyed peas are ready to eat on New Year’s Day for good luck.”
Happy New Year! Or Not!
