Fire maple, demonstrating the truth of its name, albeit a whole month early. Not as much blue sky now, though; in the last half-hour, the puffy white clouds have turned into something different, and that small-percentage chance of rain? Might turn into something yet.

Hopefully we'll be able to say the same for sales; Spirit knows I'm not going to be able to focus on anything else between now and the end of the year.

Particularly not now. As I said yesterday, Wings needs to be able to stock up on silver for holiday inventory, but with it having tripled in cost just this year, I don't know how we do that. And we can't do anything until I get the quarterly taxes for next year handled, and I'm still a good ways off from that. Meanwhile, Bezos and Musk don't even pay taxes, but the Tax Man would come after us in a heartbeat if we didn't pay ours to subsidize the bullshit tax breaks the feds give those two evil individuals. Yeah, I'm tired. Tired in every way.

I posted five new works by Wings three nights ago, here, and four remain available (the iolite ring is sold). They're all amazing, so go look, share, buy if you're in the market. [If I could sell all five? I could get the taxes off my desk for the rest of the year, and some other stuff, too.] All the other links are here; please, share them too:

• Sales here; 
• Testimonials here; 
• Amazon wishlist here (priority is first and foremost, the other ladder and the wheelbarrow);
• Patreon here;
• Ko-fi here.

We're still hoping to put aside enough for a new well when the ground thaws enough to drill in the spring, too, Nah, we've given up on the well. No one's available to drill before late next year at the earliest, and this year's tax burden means we would never be able to afford it anyway. But it's even more of a good time to make a purchase, because Uncle Sam is a vindictive colonizer, and my current stress levels about paying it all are off the charts. And there's lots of fabulous work, so please share all of the links.
