"Liquid sunshine" my magnificent backside, that's rain

P. and I are battling the gray in our own ways: we replaced the batteries in the motors for the blinds and put them all the way up; I have bottled ginger and cinnamon simple syrups, loaded the diffuser with Plant Therapy's "Holiday Season" and lit several candles. Of course, a fresh batch of ginger syrup means hot fudge sauce, and thanks to Dear

I am not a huge fan of ginger anything and it has to be subtle for me to like it. But the cinnamon...THAT I like. I hope your 4-stick syrup is good! Red Hots...oh my!

Poor doggie...yay for your DS taking care of her. It would break my heart if I found a dog all scared, hurt and wet like that.

I have made sure the lid is secure, as this seems to be the sort of stuff that would climb out of the bottle and go for one's throat. *g*

Everyone was shocked that she was able to be seen so quickly - DS said that he called and the receptionist said "We've had the phone ringing off the hook all day - hold on, the doctor's just finished up. Can you be here in 5 minutes?" Yes, yes he could. Her nails were down to the quick in some places, so they treated that and cleaned her up. No chip or tags; they took her information and didn't charge DS for anything, even though he offered.

Doggo is now napping under his desk on some blankets and will go home with the concierge, who's been thinking about adopting a pup for a while; DS thinks it's fated, but has made entries on Pawboost and filed a "found pet" report with the county's animal services department.

Oh what a lucky pup, to find DS. I'm sure she'll wind up either home with her people, or home with her new people.

Your wreath sounds wonderful, both in the getting of, and in the living with.

Alchemy can be fun!

Pup's name is Disney! Her humans saw the entry on a local group, correctly identified her collar and provided photos, and collected her a couple of hours ago. There was much happy crying and a vow to get her chipped and proper tags.

It smells so good!

Grenadine is really fun to make - it's so red when you're done. Pour it into a Weck bottle and clamp the lid on, now you're getting alchemical.

Oooo hot fudge sauce looks so easy to make! I must resist!!

[epiphyta]

. . . I mean, you could, but it makes a wonderful guest gift. You could make some up and sample it, you know, just to be sure that it turned out all right. *g*

Thank you for helping with a puppy rescue. I hope you find her parents!

Disney was back with her humans about two hours after DS posted to Pawboost - the friend who'd been puppersitting when she was startled and escaped offered a reward; DS told him to give it to the Good Samaritan fund at the vet's.

And yes, she is getting chipped and good tags today.

Aw, poor doggo! I'm glad she stumbled into a kind human.

Mmmm, cinnamon. I'm not crazy about Red Hots but I do love cinnamon in just about any form of baking. It's a flavor right up there with chocolate for me.

DS is legendary for bringing home injured/lost animals as a child; that one managed to make her way to him even in a high-rise leasing office has not come as much of a surprise to those who know him well!

If I put this stuff into a cocktail, it's going to take on the alcohol and win. I might try it as a sweetener for the scratch hot cocoa.
