Happy #caturday! Otis prefers empty pants for napping, and Ebenezer enjoys a warm lap. May you be cozy as housecats in this dark midwinter time.

When the weather gets wintery there are 2 types of people: grumbles, and those of us who enjoy the stark beauty. May you find beauty every day.

High drama
A grey squirrel sits in a window-mounted bird feeder, filling all the available space, while a buff cat watches intently from a table inside, irritated that the squirrel is ignoring him.

Just starting, but these squares embroidered by my late MIL will be small quilts as Christmas gifts for the family.

Home sick today, feeling like a pillbug

My meds sometimes give me absolute bangers
Psychologist: all dreams have meaning. My dreams: photo shows a fat cat in a cone shaped hat with a wand, another cat by a bowl. Around them, all in the sky. Froot Loops float in the air.

Part of my job is proctoring testing at a college. When students write things like thin on their scratch paper for encouragement always make me smile. This unicorn wishes us all good luck!

Ebenezer has a couch and blanket to himself. As he rightfully deserves. My 13 year old baby.

Otis, and indoor cat, enjoys touching soil and the sun.

A fall hike is a balm for the soul
A man stands beside a stream. Trees in fall colors in the background, a bench in the foreground. A man stands on the edge of a stream. Trees in fall color all around, and colored leaves float in the shallow stream. A rocky ledge stands beside a quiet stream with fall leaves floating in it.
