We know Indah has as many fans on my page as I do, and we don’t want to leave you hanging. Indah was diagnosed with a torn ligament in her hind knee just before New Year’s and will need surgery. As I was getting her checked out we found some very high liver enzymes. This could be a sign of disease, but definitely plays a role in how her surgery is performed and pain treated. She might have Cushing Disease, and a tumor making a ton of cortisol has hurt her liver. Poor Girl. But, don’t fret. She’s had excellent care at a lovely ranch vet practice in Parker CO, Stroh Ranch Vet Health, and here in Santa Fe, at Turquiose Trail Urgent Veterinary Clinic. She’s enjoying the mountains out of town in Chupadero and made this snow angel for you. 🐾🪽❄️

This is something pretty special. Our coffee friends at Sweetwater Organic Coffee Company (Tina, Mat, Vince, Larry, et. al.) wanted to help Darrin and me out after Hurricane Helene, and developed a roast specifically for Firefly Cottages Cedar Key: introducing Firefly Resurrection Roast, a full-city roast Laotian coffee from the Bolaven Plateau. This is the most exotic and subtle coffee we serve. The chocolate component of this bean—in the cup and the nose—is unmistakable. Our friends at Sweetwater are fresh roasting this coffee for you and shipping it to your door, and also donating a portion of the sales to Firefly. Each and every bag gets us that much closer to vertical.

I challenge you, as we challenged ourselves, to find a better coffee.

Thank you Sweetwater! Thank you coffee-heads the world over!

This is a special blend as a fundraiser

I still warble under you, if none else does, unmitigated adoration.”

I have shared this before. It tells a story of the appeal Cedar Key has for some and its recovery after Hurricane Hermine in 2016. Cedar Key was hit again in 2023 and 2024. It’s kinda beautiful. Sue is now our mayor, and almost everyone in this video still lives and works here.
