Mobius Operandi

I went to the Crochet Guild of America retreat at Graceland last month and came back all inspired. Some of those women are doing the most amazing things! So I’m making a sweater! It’s basically this: www.circuloyarns.com/post/dune-sk... #crochet #fiberarts #makeurclothes

Happy Beltane! We had baby #frenchangora rabbits born to celebrate spring life! #beltane #spinning #fiberarts #rabbitry #rabbitsky #bogwitch

They’re nicer than I am.

So I have a friend who is super into #crochet. She wanted to go to this retreat: members.crochet.org/news/Details... it’s at Graceland! I was like sure, I’m in. So guess which #hobbyho had to hunt down crochet needles and remember how to do it? #needlework #tunisiancrochet #crochetsocks #deltalace

Bad decisions will be made today. I can grow a cacao tree in my house, right? Right?? #rva #gardening #plants #noregerts

Payday meant we could get the 5 cattle panels to make my hobbit hole trellis tunnel. I love it and I’m looking forward to the grapes, kiwi, pole beans, squash and whatever else we vine up there! #growyourfood #gardening #homestead #sustainable #diy #bogwitch

We have French angora kits! She’s a first time mom, she went nuts pulling hair for a nest. So excited. I bought her already bred to add a separate set of genetics to my single buck I got at the same time #angorarabbit #spinning #bogwitch #homesteading #rabbitsofbluesky #frenchangora #witchsky

#hugelkultur terracing project is going well! In the last picture you can even see some planting happened! See the alt text for more details. I think this is really going to help with erosion going into the pond #homesteading #bogwitch #gardening #earthmoving #tractorlady

It was 90 degrees yesterday. #climatechange #bogwitch #homesteading I hope the plants all make it.

So I have a friend visiting and they were telling me, because I #cookyourfood 🌱 and #garden for food about this company under siege #penzey spices because of their liberal politics. So go buy #spices and #votewithyourmoney

Raided the brush pile for my #hugelkultur plan to fill the raised beds. Also found some interesting stuff. Any #naturalist on my feed? What would eat the bark off dead branches? It seems fresh. And also, I think something lives there, how cute is their house? Look at that cool stump! #nature #woods

Hello spring! We had a nice day yesterday in the mid 60’s and I guess that was enough for joy to happen! Pardon my bulbs that need thinning, they came with the house and I just found them. Half of them were under a rock! #springflowers #daffodils #bogwitch #gardening

If you need firewood, chip drop is your service! They have to cure, but wow! I had only gotten chips from them before, but these will be the base of my terracing/retaining walls. #terracing #walls #firewood #homesteading

Sorting the recycling! #parrotsofbluesky #cockatoo #recycling

Holy horsepower! Look at the size of the root I just snapped nearly before I realized I was caught! #earthmovingnewbie #kubota #terracing

Terracing the hill has begun today in earnest! #kubota #tractorlady #bogwitch #foodforest

I finally got my birthday present! An espalier apple tree with three different apple varieties in it. So excited to have this to play with. #espalier #homestead #bogwitch #gardening

This is the finished garden bed, but more importantly, listen to the night music our house boasts! The frogs are already out! #gardening #bogwitch #homestead

Today we built the first of two raised beds, using this hideously clever system we found at Lowe’s. The whole thing is easily assembled putting boards into the grooves of the concrete corners. Taken apart easily. Since we don’t know yet how we want beds set up, this seemed most flexible. #gardening

My planting buddy. #bogwitch #familiar #parrotsofbluesky

Hello spring my old friend! Sweetbay magnolia in the “ground”. Good luck my new friend, it goes against everything I know to plant you in the muck, but I’m told that’s where you like it. #gowithbog #wetland #bogwitch

#woodworking friends while I listen to a book and get ready to #danishoil finish the last of my spinning wheel parts. Some never having been finished to begin with, and needing repairs from decades of waiting for new to get around to it. #adhdcrafting #craftgoblin

Decades ago, I bought a Baynes spinning wheel. It’s gone thru divorce, child rearing, poverty, remarriage, multi state moves, all in the background of my life, waiting for me to circle back. Now she’s getting a refinish and new place in my empty nest. #spinning #spinningwheel #woodworking #diy

Turkey Eve!

Bye Sunny, you were so fun to have around. See you next month when your people go on a cruise! My recycling will never be the same :) #cockatoo #birdsofbluesky

Oh, as a wetland neighbor, this is very exciting. www.npr.org/2025/11/17/n...

A little late in the season, but I put together a #wintergarden. I would like to thank moving boxes for a weed barrier, and FB marketplace for straw bales after a fall hay ride, wood boxes that had been used as a display case, and mushroom mulch! #bogwitch #gardening #birds #growingfood #cockatoo

So we seem to have a golden eagle family group! We thought we saw 4 the other day, but confirmed today. Wheeling around, playing in the wind. #bogwitch #wetlands #birds #eagle #birdsofbluesky #rvabeauty

I *SQUISH* your head! #skydogs #malinoish

I’m so glad I collected all the recycling to take out. Can you tell we made chili last night? #parrotlife #cockatoo #parrotsky

Soursop apparently a hit, from the recycling bin raider #cockatoo #parrotlife #skybirds

Apparently I’m not the only one nesting:) he found the cat bed while I was cleaning his cage. #cockatoo #skybirds #parrotlife

Dog containment project commencing!

Today we’re at the vet. I decided to let them be the bad guys and do a beak, and nail trim #bogwitch #cockatoo #birdfamiliar #cockatoolife

Every Bog Witch needs a familiar, or three. Welcome to the fun, Sunny!

Moving boxes being converted to mulch for gardens at the new homestead :) #bogwitch #homesteading #gardening

First blood at the new house. Found the ground hornet nest!
