An homage to the 1980s cassette graphics saying Fuck, I mean Holy Goddamn Fuck, what the Fucking, Fuck. But like in those bright neon esque colors.

We adopted a dog from #CCAC

She is Margo (we are dropping the T). She’s still growing and has huge feet! Very sweet and playful.
My mom, wearing a tshirt stating she reads banned books, a pale blue hoodie l, jeans and Dansko clogs in front of a fall backdrop. Margo is black with some white areas with spots. She is part lab and has ears that like to flop around. A picture of me with Margo’s front paw in mine showing her massive feet!

Yesterday was the 45th rotation around the sun for me. Dressed up as Lydia from the cartoon Beetlejuice. Went trick or treating with the niece and nephew. Allergies are real bad too.

Henry has very pink toe beans. I love them.
Picture of Henry on his back, with his glorious ginger belly up in the air. The focus is on his back feet and his all pink toe beans.

This is Gary. I made him leave the recycling bin.

Boots arrived yesterday. Brand is Chicbloom and very comfortable. Very roomy as my calves are a little under 18 inches but they look decent and no issues wearing them for ten hours.
I still think it’s ridiculous that the average calf size of women is 16 inches and boots, on average, is 14 inches.
Looking down at my new Chicbloom boots in black. They are an equestrian style and have a low heel. The opening gaps around my leg as they made to fit a range of calf sizes. Wearing tan leggings as well.

You know what? Timeline cleanse. We need it. So here’s a picture of a frog that was stuck in a window well last Saturday. My brother lives kitty corner to a wetlands preserve so he kindly tries to save frogs. My niece named this one Bumpy. Bumpy was released without incident amount the hostas.
Picture taken on a sunny Saturday afternoon. My niece, wearing her official pink frog handling gloves, is holding a frog that we found down a window well. For some unknown reason, frogs like to come to my brother’s house and go into window wells every time it rains. We are really thinking about building frog stairs at this point. Frog was called Bumpy and was released by the hostas, which are not seen in this picture. Niece is wearing a pink Bluey shirt, pink shorts and pink shoes. She stated that the day felt pink to her.

Yesterday was the sixth gotcha day for Henry James. He was 13 weeks old when I adopted him. We celebrated with a little wet food, catnip, and snuggles. He was very happy at the end of the day.
Henry James in a coma brought on by wet cat food and catnip looking very happy on his back. He was adopted six years ago at the age of 13 weeks. His face is what I feel in love with, the white markings on his otherwise ginger face.

Myshka definitely has a lot to say but she’s also got big Demon Child energy.
Myshka, my little long haired gray girl demon child of a cat. Her nose is pinkish gray and she has vivid green eyes. My phone charging card is orange and she was laying on it. She can be sweet then turn around and smack her brothers.

Two years ago today, you died. Two years without you has been hard. I still miss you and I still love you. That will never change. You will always be in my heart Mike.

I don’t know what kind of iris this is yet!!!
Double bearded irises with yellow upper parts and kind of lavender bottom petals. Sort I don’t know the exact name of it!

Not the entire garden but where the irises are. And weeds.
A decent sized area with all the different irises, alliums, and all the way at the farthest part are peonies and a lilac tree. I think there are some daylilles too but they have no flowers yet but I believe they are the orange ones, which is called Chicago maybe?

My gothic irises are blooming! This is called Badlands and the upper part is a super dark purple.
A black double iris called Badlands. The upper petals are a very dark purple and the bottom ones are black, or very close to it. There is a bud of one not yet opened. Also some weeds in the background.

This is the one that I am drooling over
A double bearded iris called Double Down. It’s like a bronze-burnt orange color with white to yellow striations.

My dear cousin @manmademoon.bsky.social
Hope you’re doing well. My irises are blooming and thought you’d enjoy a few pictures!
A pair of double bearded irises called “Oui, Madam.” They are white with very pale lavender edges and some slight lavender striations in the center with a bold yellow beard; apparently the big blob is the beard. A pair of double bearded irises called “Dancing Star.” They are white upper petals with dark purple lower petals with white edging and white striations along with yellow beards. You will also spot two alliums behind one of them (purple flower balls). Please ignore the weeds.

For timeline cleanse and for #caturday please enjoy the goody way Henry likes to cuddle up with me.
Henry on his back with his face upside down. His face is the main part of the picture. This goofy ginger boi is smiling as he was purring at the time.

My irises are blooming and this one is a particular favorite. No I can’t recall the name of it but it’s very watercolor esque.
A white iris that has fully opened up. It has medium to light purple gradations at the center and again on the edges with little bits of yellow peaking out in the center. There are also a few unopened ones, weeds and a dark purple iris next to it that hasn’t bloomed yet.

Henry LIKES the water bottle. I have failed in that.
Henry James, my chinky ginger boy cat laying on his back, belly up and eyes closed. He is happy as his favorite soft plushy blanket in a dark blue/teal color has been cleaned, dried, and placed back on the bed.
