Cute. Even if she doesn’t know what she’s looking at, she looks happy about it anyway.

Nice to hear one of your dioramas is progressing.
Cute, although if you said it out loud it could be "repro-dork-tion"

That's an accurate assessment. Art imitating life, I guess. slash

Yeah, they probably should. I'll add that to their To-Do list.

Green Army Guys on patrol

Alliecat

Well, welcome back. Must've been a heckuva party.
I'm amazed it's still warm enough to stain. I mean, we've had high-teens during the day here recently but it's been close to freezing a few nights, so it wouldn't likely work too well. Looks like they will be nice though. The Smart Dolls working pix are always fun, and the little plane is cute -- love your composition/perspective on that one.
What are the army guys patrolling for, I wonder!

We had a few days that reached the mid-50s (11˚C), but nights are well below freezing, dropping to around 12˚F (-11˚C).

Not that we have any need for a faster internet connection. Nearly all the forums and online sites on which I am active are nearly dormant at this point.

That must be some funky thermometer you have

But, brrr.
Crummy cold windy weather arrived here this week exactly on cue to delay the lobster season opening.

I see folks here recommending Starlink over Bell's lousy internet, but I can't quite bring myself to support the thing that's giving astronomers conniptions over the littering of our night skies. Is that the "Stay Tuned" box?
