I haven't laughed so hard in an age! This is pure geek magic.
This wheel is to the boy squirrel the way that the football is to Charlie Brown and it still makes me laugh every time he tries to use it only to be immediately spun.

Now year, new book! Starting the year off with some much needed hope. 💙📚💙📚

I totally forgot to post this! While helping my mom move back in August I came across the Christmas card that I totally loved! I think it is the styling more than the story, and of course the camels, since that whole scene isn't my vibe.

On this #caturday we get to tke care of this girl! She's abit spicy and learning what life is going to be now that she has diabetes. But she's a good sport and is putting up with it all fairly well!

Happy Yuletide! 🌱

Christmas kitty number four! Two more to go, will we get them all by Christmas? #caturday is everyday in this house.

Last of the decorations up! We thought about adding lights to this pinecone garland, but I kind of like the simplicity since I have already crammed so much on top of these shelves!

Two more christmas kitties! Never too early for #caturday

Holiday cheer has arrived! @snellis.bsky.social and I have hung the things, lighted the night, and decorated the tree with (hopefully) cat proof goods! So far only Gary seems impressed.

Things are starting to get festive around here! Tree finally has lights, hopefully some cat safe ornaments today, and wrapping is almost complete! Gary was not a very good helper but he gets points for enthusiasm. #caturday

Camellia blooms joining the show today are Yuletide and Buttermint. Yuletide have a rough season a bit ago and it is good to see it recovered. Buttermint is blooming a bit early this year, as a camellia that really struggles with our rain usually causing bud to go brown and soggy before blooming. 🌱

And so begins December! Reading some more British Crime Library Classics Christmas editions this year, starting with Mystery in White by J. Jefferson Farjeon. 💙📚💙📚

Garden today! @snellis.bsky.social got the raised beds housing the plants for the hell bed replanting covered, the witch hazel has begun to bloom, and smells fantastic, and another camellia has joined the bloom party!

Camellias Showa-No-Sakae, Sinensis, and Little Pearl still blooming their hearts out! Today I saw a hummingbird visiting them which was a first for me! 🌱

Garden kitty decided to join us at work today. Not usually one for the office, he has discovered it contains a cat tree of its own.

It's mum season! A bouquet of mixed flowers and greens from the garden, mums in a two part vase, and a bloom of little pearl camellia. 🌱

Some more photos from the garden today, including garden kitties! 🌱

Mud season is upon us. Winterization is in process and I am as tired as the garden! 🌱

My start to Novella November! 💙📚

Cut back hydrangeas today to prep for winter. While paniculatas can be pruned in spring (they bloom on new wood) I do an initial cut back in fall to stop branches from snapping under the weight of winter wet.

The fact that #TheArchers is trending on bluesky might just be enough for me to start listening again after 10 years!

@snellis.bsky.social sent me this great picture of the garden kitty enjoying some extra comfort on a chilly day in the garden. Having a garden cat has really changed the way we enjoy and interact with the outdoors. AKA we actually sit and enjoy it more! 🌱

Some shots from around the garden, a toad lily in the sun, a pineapple lily bloom, somehow the crepe myrtle still in bloom, and the miscellaneous fuchsia baskets which were amazing this year! 🌱
