The fire has been lit 🐈‍⬛
Two cats get themselves into position on blankets on a grey chaise longue. A young torbie is upside down in the foreground, with her white paws grabbing at the tortoiseshell cat behind her.

My new little mountain forest terrariums delight me in about 50 different ways, not least of which is that Hebe (cat) can't eat them.
Both have little Kahikatea Seedlings in them. Buying some good rocks, smashing them up, and gluing them back together, was a massive upgrade for my setups. 🌱
Two terrariums set up in tall glass candle votives. In one, brown rock cliffs are surrounded by small green tree seedlings and moss. In the other, are jagged grey cliffs rising up from a green forest of seedlings and moss.

Some exceptional lichen is growing on an old iron seat in the garden 🌱
Silvery cup shaped lichen shown in detail. Next to it is a spidery, pale green lichen. Both look a lot like corals.

A glamour model 🐈‍
Hebe, a young torbie cat with stripes and orange patches, lies on a blue mohair rug. She is looking at the viewer and reaching her paw, complete with pink toe-beans, forward to high five.

Talking about being lax in things, here is the overdue cat tax #catsofbluesky
A tortie cat Juno, and a torbie teenager Hebe sit side by side on a warm rug on the couch. Hebe's little white paws are outstretched in front of her as she looks to camera.

Spent the afternoon picking debris out of sphagnum moss, as I'm finally getting some new terrariums started. The op shops have been very generous for glass vessels lately. #terrariums
Multiple glass containers sit open on an outdoor wooden table, beginning to be filled with substrate, stones and moss.

So anyway, overdue cat tax partially paid by Hebe.

A 5 month old torbie kitten sleeps on the crows-nest of a cat tower. She is stretched out so her little pink toe beans, white socks and tummy can be seen.

Damn fine sunset tonight
The sunset over the dark tops of trees. A bright smear of red sweeps across a cloudy sky.

It has finally happened!
Cat integration is go 🥲
Them both loving this rug seems to be the social glue.

A torbie kitten reaches up to the arm of a couch, and puts her fanged little mouth on the spine of 'The Cat Operator's Manual' which rests there.

No cheating, post the last photo of your pet.
Hebe, a torbie kitten, gazes at Juno, a tortie cat, who is currently sitting staring back from the cubby of a cat tower.

Put legs on a wooden serving board, giving me a glorious extra 20cm of height when working at the desk/bench.
A long wooden board with black steel legs stands on a wooden desk. A wooden jeweller's bench peg is attached, and a metal block, scrap of silver and panel beating hammer sit on top. In the background, various pliers and tools can be seen.

Solidarity 🥲
Many, many notebooks, pads, and papers stashed in a shame cupboard.

Started putting terrariums in all the places to make the brain feel happy. I need more jars, I need bigger jars. Possibly need an aquarium tank.
A little moss terrarium in an old glass coffee jar sits on a wooden desk. In the background is a gouache painting of a forest landscape. Next to that sits a couple of boxes of antique pencil refills, and a vintage brass charcoal holder.

Finding it hard to string a sentence together because of… everything (insert whole planet here)… so here is the cat tax:
A Renaissance painting. Juno and Hebe are coexisting admirably with only minor miscommunications. 🇳🇿🐈‍⬛️ #catsofbluesky
Two cats are on a cat tower. A tortoiseshell cat Juno is asleep on a platform, and below her, a torbie kitten Hebe gazes up at her from a lower level.

Mini pond, being less than a metre wide, is currently horrifically overcrowded with water lilies. I am going to have to reach in there when the season ends and relocate some to… somewhere?… Make an even more mini pond? Or two?
The lilies are happily flowering however, so that is something. 🌱
A pale yellow "Texas Dawn" water lily flower sits amongst green lily pads rising from dark water.

Paying the cat tax with a double feature.
Introductions are going okay, baby Hebe is slowly learning to respect Juno's boundaries so now they can enjoy a supervised game together. 🇳🇿🐈‍⬛️ #catsofbluesky
Juno, a tortoiseshell cat with green eyes, lies on a white bedspread with her paws in the air. Hebe, a torbie kitten with white socks and a pink nose, is artfully draped on the platform of her scratching tower.

Behold! My vegetable son.

I had to harvest him today since he had run out of space to grow.Veg garden has been a bit crap really this year, but Zucchino Rampicante never gives up.
🌱
A long Squash Rampicante pale green, lightly striped and shaped a bit like a trombone. It sits on a formica table with an apple and tape measure for scale. It measure in at about 70cm long.

Juno is too busy today to pay the cat tax so she sends baby Hebe in her stead. 🇳🇿🐈‍⬛️ #catsofbluesky

So we got a kitten for our cat...
Juno is excited, but being infinity patient with the frightened new baby in its crate. 🇳🇿🐈‍⬛️ #catsofbluesky
A torbi coloured kitten with white socks is gazing out, while upside down, from its grey cave bed.

Juno is on the chaise.
On the chaise longue, on the chaise longue
On the chaise longue, all day long, on the chaise longue.

A tortoiseshell cat is sleeping in a grey felt covered chaise longue. Behind her are cushions made out of old Bank bags.

For the first time ever, the goddess Juno has spent all day in our presence. #proofofcat #catsofbluesky
A tortoiseshell cat with bright green eyes gazes into the distance as she lounges on a carpeted floor.

Since it is a numbers day, I'm paying my cat tax. Juno has discovered the joy of beds. #catsofbluesky
A tortoiseshell cat with green eyes looks warmly at the camera from her comfortable seat on a white duvet.
