In cool Autumn air and cloud covered sky, we took some time Saturday to tromp in the woods, sit for a spell on a rock ledge, and have some hot tea. #Autumn #Breathe
a rocky outcrop with water cascading down several layers, an evergreen bough hangs just in front of the waterfall fallen log on a leaf covered forest floor is covered in bright green moss. some fern branches can be seen poking up through the layer of leaves near bottom of the photo. picture of my legs, from calves in blue denim to feet in scuffed black combat boots, stretched out in front of me as a sit on a mossy rock shelf. the forest can be seen spreading out in the background, trees are mostly bare and ground is covered in fallen leaves. a small stream of water is meandering through the scene.

From the fine folks that brought you BANANA! I presented my cats with
PINEAPPLE! Frodo definitely loves "his" pineapple. #CatsOfBluesky

Lynx point siamese cat, fawn colored fur with tabby striped points, hugging a pineapple shaped cat toy against his cheek. He looks very smitten with his new catnip filled toy.

Just started reading Being Heumann: An Unrepentant Memoir of a Disability Rights Activist
by Judith Heumann with Kristen Joiner
I felt I needed to educate myself on the history of #DisabilityRights so I'm starting here.

Around her wheelchair are color images of purple flowers on her left and red flowers on her right. the flowers may be roses?

this picture is from the day, 13 years ago, I rescued two little girl kittens from a local tractor supply store. these sisters were the last of their litter, waiting for someone to take them home. irresistible cuties! #CatsOfBluesky
two small kittens in a wire pet cage. kitten on the left is tortoiseshell with white chest and white paws, pointedly NOT looking at the camera. kitten on the right is black and white tuxedo, looking at the camera and meowing. newspaper lines the bottom of the cage and an empty dish ia visible behind the tortoiseshell kitten.

trying to find a delicious high protein, high fat, easy to digest food for our very old man cat Frodo. He has lost some weight due to a liver issue. He is taking meds and is slowly gaining weight back but he gets picky about his food texture. #SeniorCat #CatsOfBluesky
extreme close up of a lynx point siamese cat. Frodo has a light blue eyes, a salmon colored nose and dark tigery stripe markings on his lovely fawn colored fur.

my experience may not be typical but isn't there a certain age at which wooden puzzles no longer entertain children and children are curious about the insides of people but not really much overlap?

I don't have a before picture but I can report the damage from the hailstorm that passed through a week ago is no longer visible in our early spring garden. We have assorted lettuces, that we give the guinea pigs as a treat, and a few sweet pea plants growing.
raised bed garden with a variety of lettuces and three sweet pea plants growing. the sweet peas have a bamboo and orange yarn homemade trellis. a black soaker hose surrounds the group of plants.

I love when I get my kid involved helping me with a project. "We" are putting together a new trampoline today since the last one got blown into the lilac bush couple of weeks ago.
A young man, seen from behind, pulls a wagon filled with several foam covered metal trampoline frame parts across a green grassy yard towards a partially put together trampoline in the background.

Just look at these ding dongs! Sprouted in less than a week in the little acrylic greenhouse I bought! Slow down, ya numbskulls!
3 oz plastic cup sitting on a clear acrylic shelf full of seed starting soil. Two sprouts are standing perfectly upright, reaching for the plant light straight above them. They are Rich Sweetness melon seeds, sprouted in only five days!

this is Marigold, our poor beleaguered oranda. their tail should be as big their cute little egg shaped body. today it's only about a third size it should be. hopefully it will grow back quickly now that the loaches are gone. #Aquarium #Goldfish #Oranda #FishKeeping
bright orange oranda goldfish with red orange 'crown'. most of their tail is missing with only some shredded pieces still there.

sad to say we are rehoming our dojo loaches. the largest one has been fin nipping one of the oranda goldfish pretty badly the past week. we have had them (the loaches) over 2 years now without issue but we don't want to lose any goldfish. Bye, noodles, we will miss your antics. #Aquarium #Loaches
long eel like fish, light brown with a line of darker brown densely spaced spots along the top of their side. they have short whiskers surrounding a small circular mouth which is open. they are sitting on a piece of driftwood, a small green plant just to the right. behind them you can see a bright orange oranda goldfish with a large flowing orange and white tail.

#Aquascape Trim done. The fish are much more at ease with more room to swim. The tank is much brighter now that more light is getting through. #PlantedAquarium #Aquarium #FishKeeping #TropicalFish #FreshwaterAquarium
same planted fish aquarium after the plants have been trimmed back.

Well past time to do some trimming and landscaping in my seventy five gallon community fish aquarium. #Aquarium #TropicalFish #Aquascape
zoomed out view of the entire tropical fish aquarium overgrown with plants. right hand side of tropical fish aquarium with very large flat teardrop leaved plant sitting atop a large piece of driftwood. in the far right corner grows a very large plant with branches spanning across the surface of the water. this plant, a water sprite, has feathery fern like leaves that block out of major amount of the light. Just in front of the water sprite grows a small plant with long sword like leaves in a bush like pattern, an Amazon sword. left hand side of tropical fish aquarium, mixed natural colored gravel with a large flat teardrop leaved plant sitting next to medium size piece of driftwood. growing up and over the flat leaved plant are many plants with stems covered in small oval shaped leaves. the area is crowded with plants and preventing fish from swimming freely.

It is shrimp lolly day in the ten gallon aquarium! It's always entertaining to watch these little critters eat. #Aquarium #Shrimp
