Dog better.

Puppy slowly integrating with dog.

Friend found two kittens on her 25 acres, one died, the other is in my spare room pending a FIV test. Have never had a kitten before, it's 5-6 weeks old. 5-8 weeks is the fearless imprinting stage. It is very tiny, very affectionate, very active, very cute, and very catlike. It has a loud purr and a silly meow. Current plan is for it to go down to a rescue on the coast (rescues up here are all full) but we'll see. After a FIV test it can hang out with my cats if all are willing.

First frost was last night. I have yet to see the extent of the damage. I hadn't brought tomatoes in to ripen. Yesterday I got home at 9pm and had to do chores and kitten stuff, and I'm in the office today, so.

Have to give a presentation to a bunch of highschoolers about forestry in two weeks. I'm thinking themes will be "everything is connected" and "monitoring/data and always learning is important" and the spot is a stream so I'll tie that in since everything that's done on the landbase flows downhill.

Kilnload of stuff at the studio is cooling right now, this will be my second firing in Fort (it's not all my stuff but it has a bunch). First firing with these glazes over a red clay. Very curious about it.

Scrambling to do work-adjacent stuff before a deadline. Have had a headache for over a week. Just want to lie around with kittens and puppies. Such is life.

first frost. i am somehow always startled by how early it comes to you, for all that we talk about it each year. we may not get a freeze till november this year, the way things are going. though we'll see.

I think many of us had a perfect 90 day season this year.
