Atmospheric river more like a meandering stream here in the Columbia River Gorge, but steady, & enough to piss off a couple of the ferals.

The ferals are unhappy about the atmospheric river. It's 50°. They are not wet. They have food, water & a heated bed on the porch. Still, staring at me to let me know they're not happy

Hissy, a feral I've been feeding for the last couple years. She will not follow her 1 bro & 1 son who use the cat door to come inside or let me touch her, but watches me work in the kitchen constantly.

Multiple places to sleep. The dog crate hut has insulation & a crate size dog heating pad that goes on 12 hrs overnight. Their heated water dish arrives tomorrow. That's more for my convenience though. Frankie on a self heating pad (a torn insulted shopping bag, repurposed)& Hissy, She Who Watches.

This is Hissy. She is feral. I've fed her & one brother, Romeo, for 2 years. Romeo is a lover, uses the cat door, as 1 of her kittens, Slinky, does. Hissy, her other brother, Frankie, other son, But will not come in.
She watches me whenever I'm in the kitchen.
Every single time I'm in the kitchen.

Hissy, one of the ferals I feed that refuses to come in the house. One of her brother's & one of her sons also won't follow the other brother & son through the cat door. All are fixed, outside cats have heated hut.
She watches me all day long.
Every day.

I have 2 pair of the Nomov & a couple pairs from last year that I don't remember the brand. My thyroid stopped working 33 years ago & I freeze in the winter. I wear these under other pants as well as skirts & dresses & am so warm.

A lap full of ferals & the puppy they're not happy about.

Nice visual. It was nice here today also. More positive hand signs than negative from passing motorists.

We're standing up for our freedom here in The Dalles. Thank you for defending us.

Beautiful weather here is Oregon too. I think the Goddess did it here though bc the Witches Walk was after the No Kings rally.

Looking east & west in The Dalles, OR. IDK what the headcount was.

Happy Caturday. Romeo & his nephew, Slinky.

Oh, gosh no. This is my only artistic talent.

I love Multnomah Falls. I have this in my dining room so between trips to Portland, it is alway in sight.

Mantises are one of my favorite subjects, too.

Happy Caturday. Feral Hissy is being upstaged by her son Waffles (both fixed). Check out Hissy's long, luxurious whiskers.

Good night from Romeo & Slinky

I am so sorry. I had to have my sweet Zeva eased into her next journey last month. It is heartbreaking, even when it's the only way.
I put water in this vase to add humidity to plants out of this picture. It was her favorite watering hole.

Scrub Jay at their feeder. I find peanuts buried all over my garden.
