Very pretty and comfy-looking, Jinx.
Gigi has something like it in pink. I am allowed to stick my toes under it.

#CatsOfBluesky
Gigi, a grey tabby, is hunkered down in a pink blanket with 3-centimetre strands of very soft shaggy fur. You can only see the top of her head with her ears standing up.

Why I love growing buttercrunch lettuce.🌱
Looks like another all-volunteer garden next year.
We're discussing what we'll pair with this lettuce for December Fools' Day sandwiches.
(Our protective Toronto weather bubble spared us the worst of the polar vortex and squalls.)

A grey cat is curled up inside a stuffed bed shaped like a sleigh, with red fabric on the outside and white Sherpa on the inside, plus a penguin toy on the side. 2 more cats and a dog are waiting their turns, but not patiently.

Oh, Cheddy, don't scare Mama.
Gigi hid for a looooong time yesterday and we were so worried.
Today she's back on the sofa with her new extra-fluffy blankie.

Holy Toledo!
The squalls seem to be headed for the northeastern part of southwestern #Ontario, with lots of big wind for the rest of us.

Screenshot from Toronto weather showing a map of southwestern and central Ontario, including lakes Huron, Erie and Ontario, plus Georgian Bay. There is a bright yellow area indicating a squall warning from Goderich to Peterborough.

🤞Our wee Gigi wants the balcony door left open for her to come and go today.
She can do her balcony #Hedgewatch from amid the planters that are still filled with chives, dandelion and a few hardy buttercrunch lettuce babies.🌱

Gigi, grey tuxie-tabby, sits on her wooden balcony with the door open and the view from inside showing the brown brick HVAC company across the street and peaked rooftops beyond that against a light gray sky. She is surrounded by various pots and planters with green chives and small buttercrunch lettuce plants. She is sniffing the air and peering ahead.

At least the sun is out. 🌞
Temps are going back up.
But it does kinda look like January out there--except for the autumn leaves.🍁
View out balcony door shows tufts of snow on planters, railings and small blue barbecue. The orange leaves on our young oak tree contrast with the snow and blue sky.

She will always be your petit ange.
And ours.
Look what I found going through photos to delete for more memory room
I had to keep it.💖
Kedi welcomed Elise, the brilliant collage artist, into Heaven. (I made a sticker of Angel Kedi from one of Elise's works.)

🌱Time to harvest the last basil leaves before the next windy day.
Forgot I'd bought these biodegradable pots a couple of years ago, so the top collar came off when I picked it up.

Close-up of loose basil leaves fallen on the soil in a grey pot with three plants. The top collar of the pot has broken off and sits on the bench around the bottom of the pot. There are a few leaves on the balcony deck below.

You're correct. #GovernorFord has no honour. He's been selling out #Ontario for years. He'd love to be able to hand our whole country, with all its freshwater and minerals, over to his orange idol.

This is something to ask @bsky.app about.
Lately, it's been asking me if I'm typing in English.
I do occasionally write in French, and I suspect that the problem is whatever #AI thingy they're using is easily confused.
Boa dia. 😉
Screen grab of messages with Bluesky asking, "Are you writing in English?"

These Trump-Christians certainly lie a lot; as if it's suddenly not a sin anymore.
It's as though they have taken Christ out of Christianity and replaced Him with the exact opposite.

Trump and a flunky are Dr. Evil and Mini-Me, with a gilded Trump version of The Bible on the coffee table.
