Bought this painting from @opaquepastels.bsky.social at the Cats & Tats show by @oacmn.bsky.social Been waiting for the perfect timing to show the placement 😸 #cat #art #painting #brunnhilde #orangetabby
A UV painting of a cat wearing battle armour based upon a photo of tabby cat Brunnhilde armor. Above the painting is my orange tabby, cat named Mylo the Destroyer, on top of a 6 foot tall wood armoire. Mylo is yawning or roaring, you be the judge.

Grow food if you can. Its always worth it. I grow a decent amount of vegetables on a tiny city lot in containers along the driveway. It’s prime pepper harvest season even though it’s beginning of October. #peppers #containergarden #garden #growfood
A small strainer full of hot peppers, including jalapeño habanero, and Serano pepper. Also shown is a large Serrano pepper plant grown in a simple black container. A blue ceramic bowl holds jalapeño peppers, Serranos and habaneros along with a handful of banana peppers. It’s been a good year for peppers in Minnesota.
