winter welcome

i love books, so once upon a time i wondered if i should be a librarian?
i've been working on my library inventory..
let me just say this, books are Heavy.

wish i were out photoing autumn trees & leaves for my new november blue album
but honestly i'm just not up to it..
i also wanted to photo the mourners moon, it was a blood moon & the longest partial eclipse in over 500 years,
but it's just been way too grey..

lyrics for the day from the decemberists

a record year for rainfall:

i read in the paper today
it's been a record year for rainfall
& you were leaning against the bathroom wall
in your lonely dress
it was your only dress
i stand accusing across
i got a temper set for tender
& you were shrugging it off like a feather
saying 'oh would you look at this weather'
but what's the use of all of this?
just to remember you in the entire
as i'm watching it slip away
& in the annals of the empire
did it look this grey
before the fall?
before the fall?
so rake your thumbnail across
the stretch of the patina
revealing a proserpina
in a low recline
in a steep decline
but what's the use of all of this?
just to remember you in the entire
as i'm watching it slip away
& in the annals of the empire
did it look this grey?
does it look so grey?
does it always look so grey
before the fall?
before the fall..

also a special post at the lost & found blog friday, sort of a ghost gallery breakdown & invitation,
check it out if you're stuck inside with quiet time like this lonely ghost..

day after: raven caught it peeking in our skylights..

i got myself lost in radiohead's kidamnesia exhibition on the ps5 the other day & ended up creating a new toy for my ghost closet, shamelessly radiohead inspired, i think dr tchock would be pleased? got a little blood on him jabbing myself with the needle but that seems appropriate..

so i've been getting killed quite alot in f76 as i continue searching for the perfect forest campsite, hoping this my third choice will keep us safe for awhile..?

& now my pumpkin pie has baked and been thoroughly tested ;)
tomorrow's a busy day, i am very thankful for my cool life, despite all my struggles..

i'm making my own stickers today for my new/unused journals, mostly radiohead screenshots i took from my kidamnesia playthroughs, because that's what responsible 50 something ladies do instead of catching up on boring housework, right?
i posted all about it at the lost & found blog here:

i'm doing better in f76, finally have a camp i hope will work out (4th time's a charm?) enemies abound though..

i met a grey kitty, she sits meowing & looking out the window of her abandoned house waiting for her people to come back, but they're all dead or turned, i wish she'd come home with me?
why isn't it like in f4? she'd be welcome in my safe kitty sanctuary..
looks like perfect weather to take a november drive through the gorge to photo some trees.. :)
time for xmas music in the house :D

ended up with a migraine & never took that drive afterall.. also my ocd has become really serious, i can see why in the distant past i used certain unhealthy habits to keep my mind from obsessing over everything, now i just have to try to 'not think' & kinda purposely cloud my own awareness.. :/
but my new november blue album is up at my nature albums page here anyway:

..along with the start of my winter album :) hope we get snow soon?
we're setting up a different sort of tree this year.. will update when i have a pic :)
oh, & i'm doing much better now in f76: https://friendlyghost.typepad.com/photos/friendlyghoststuff/f76-ally-party-hat-fun.html
