We brought the rig and stayed after #HWCafe Seniors Dinner for tomorrow’s Advent Calendar door opening.

We tucked Blacky in for the night. He sure can sleep!

Jules is still singing Christmas carols.🎄🎶

The Christmas we couldn’t find Angel🌈Mooch. She had climbed over the Christmas gifts and buried herself all the way in the back corner. This became her favorite sleep spot every Christmas. 🎄

Inside Hedgewatch for Romeo @romeofur.bsky.social since it’s too cold and cloudy today.

We’re grateful that Romeo and Boris shone like rays of sunshine for this cat community, and quietly rejoice that Boris and Romeo are reunited.

New Christmas ornament for 2025! I finally finished them! Based off my original illustration from last year, I thought this kitty would be a great candidate for an ornament. Completely handmade, polymer clay, hand-painted, and glittered.
