Back into the house for some warm drinkies, as the snow has arrived this weekend -- garden ready or not!

I'm here, celebrating how much we got done this weekend prior to the flurries. Teen and I cut and painted all the invasives next to the house. Then they did all the downspouts' maintenance! 🌱

Aura asked us to help her wish you all a Happy Halloween. But when we went looking for her, all we could find was this ghost!
Is very spoopy ghost. Friendly, too. Seems to love pup cups.

#caturday I swear, the cat was sleeping when I sneaked this shot! Yet her eyes are open, catching me in the act. Dangit!
I regret nothing!

I see.
Well, that laundry *was* clean. Now, it's extra fuzzy.
No, Char, it's all good. I chose poorly when I set it there. By all means, continue napping.

Lilac season, hooray!
My mother and her mother both loved lilacs. Since lilac plants bloom best when pruned after blooming, we'd accomplish the task via making massive bouquets and sharing bundles of these perfumed beauties. My house smells incredible right now, though, um, allergies, haha. Oops.🌱

Got to play outside in the garden this weekend! Built a bug hotel and cleared the covering from the peonies. 🌱

Char is cranky this #caturday for whatever reason. Maybe her tea is too hot. Maybe the view isn't to her liking. Maybe her food is the wrong temperature.
Probably she's just orange. We love her, regardless of mood.

#caturday Means that these two divas don't have to pretend to humor us like they do the rest of the week.

Gardening is so good for mental health! Take these sunflowers, for example: as Svetlina said, "Take these seeds, put them in your pockets, so at least sunflowers will grow when your body lies on Ukrainian soil." 🇺🇦
Notice how lovely that feels?
F Oligarchs. I'm growing some herbs! 🌱 Relaxing, yes?

Doggo dopamine for a Monday morning! Aura is happy. She wants you to be happy, too.

Getting my Monday morning purr therapy in. Thought maybe you'd like some dopamine, too.

The snowdrops are blooming! Hooray!
Which means it's time for me to plant peas. Hence, the picture of the planter with dirt. There are peas in there, I promise.

I told my trans partner this morning that they shouldn't try to be sneaky today, since it's the whole Trans Day of Visibility and all. I was rewarded with smooches! Yay!

Our humor rolls like that here.

We're with you, folx. 🩵🤍🩷

Oh no. It's Monday!

It's dangerous to go alone. Take this.

Aura wants to make sure you have a good morning, so she's giving you some pure dopamine. Also, some dog hair glitter.
Also also: she wuffs you.

I got to snuggle the Sophie for a nice long session!
Until I dared to photograph the Void. Rude of me, I know.
I just wanted something to remind me of the glorious purrs and cuddles, Sophie! Please come back! I'm sorry!

Charmain is so very orange.
*Playful*! I meant to say she's so very playful! Yes. Ahem.

Aura doesn't think you should go to work. You should stay here and adore her, instead. She's a pretty, pretty princess, she says; princesses come in all sizes and shapes.

Aura would like to wish you a Happy St Patrick's Day, in honor of her Irish-American family. She also hopes we all have a kind week.

Charmain is annoyed that her humans keep taking her couch. In retaliation, she claims this chair for catkind.

Mondays are hard enough without all this other BS going on.
You have been blessed by the toe beans of cuteness!
There, go forth refortified.

"What do you mean there's a whole Cat themed day of the week, but not a dog one? Can't you just... Rename a day or something? You're all-powerful, aren't you?"

Nobody tell Aura we're not, pretty please? It'll break her little pony-doggo heart.
