Sasquatch & The Scoop Shovel

Waning Wolf Moon over Jupiter, Pollux, and Castor

Sasquatch stumbled upon a scoop shovel

Under the light of a waning Wolf Moon
When darkness would give way to twilight soon
Sasquatch wandered out from his hovel
Onto the beach where he spied a shovel
What is this strange thing? He thought with wonder
Is it useful or a trap to pull me asunder?
Oh, hark! I hear a human coming this way
It’ll have to wait for another day

“Sasquatch? Did you say Sasquatch? We heard he likes to eat cats!”

Dawn

Spunk: “I’m not afraid of no stinking Sasquatch! I kicked his butt six years ago when I slipped through a wormhole, and it took me a month to fight my way back into this dimension.”

The Wolf Tree & The Winter Moon

The Wolf Tree & The Winter Moon† by Timothy Price, featuring Resa McConaghy on vocals.

As many of my followers know, I write a song for the Winter Wolf Moon every January. The 2026 Wolf Moon song is very special because it stars Resa’s Wolf Tree, and what’s even more exciting is that Resa sang the song. Her voice is beautiful and perfect for the song.

[Intro/Chorus]
Wolf Tree and the Winter Moon
Cold and darkness they consume
Watching over frozen lives
While twilight leans on the gloom

[Verse 1]
Can four divisors tell us what’s to come?
Predictions made on the dividend
Year of our Lord two-thousand twenty-six
We have one-thousand thirteen, one, and two

[Chorus]
Wolf Tree and the Winter Moon
Cold and darkness they consume
Watching over frozen lives
While twilight leans on the gloom

[Verse 2]
The Wolf Moon and the Wolf Tree ask
What are the odds? What is the chance
Of being good, of being bad,
Of simply being ugly

[Bridge]
Wolf Tree and the Winter Moon
Against the odds they roll their dice
Will they fall on double sixes
Or will they fall on snake eyes
Another throw, three out of four
Does winter live or does it die?

[Outro/Chorus]
Wolf Tree and the Winter Moon
Cold and darkness they consume
Watching over frozen lives
While twilight leans on the gloom

Wolf Tree and the Winter Moon
Cold and darkness they consume
Watching over frozen lives

Hello 2026!

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!
