Completely unseasonal.

Trees thinning rapidly now. That was yesterday, before the storm hit. It began raining overnight, and hasn't stopped since; a good share of the time, it's been a really heavy downpour today. Which will mean snow on the peaks, not that we can see them right now. By the time this line of storms is done, though, there may not be much left in the way of leaves; this completely unseasonal pattern is supposed to continue into next week.

Now, if only I could make it rain like this in the metaphorical sense. The need for silver for Wings to work just became urgent, and with it having tripled in cost just this year, I don't know how we manage it. So I'm doing my usual juggling act, trying to make everything work with too few resources. We're five days into the more or less official holiday creative season, and the outside world is an absolute shambles, and I'm about to lose a few days to booster reactions, most likely (and am already losing too much of today to a monster migraine and excruciating joint pain, so there's that).

That new and absolutely extraordinary necklace just went up a few minutes ago, here. I also posted five new works by Wings a few nights ago, here, and four remain available (the iolite ring is sold), plus another new cuff Monday, here. They're all amazing, so go look, share, buy if you're in the market. [If I could sell them all? I could get the remaining bills off my desk, and set some aside for the silver he needs, too.] All the other links are here; please, share them too:

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