A hand holds up a cardboard circle with a braided yarn bracelet hanging from a hole in the center. The yarn stands are red, greens and purple and white. A young child and parent lean over a big table, rolling out white lumps of clay together in a big warehouse studio.

So efficient, so merciless
A picture of a patch of ground, mostly dirt. Scattered around a deep hole, about 5 inches wide, are the remains of a yellow jacket ground nest. Bits of empty honeycomb and ripped-up grass encircle the churned earth. Signifying peace for one backyard, at least.

I have. This exact shape box. With a few modifications...
A cardboard box (from a grocery store for bulk items) has been painted a cheerful green, and paper fish have been hung from an awning cut in the side. Tiny boxes along the side are filled with your fish. A cat bed sits inside.

The world feels overwhelming outside my home but there is*this* where there was grass last year.
A photo of the front lawn, taken at an angle so you can see that it's on a gentle slope. The farthest bit from the camera is all green grass. The nearer half is covered in tall, dense wildflowers. Partridge pea, tickseed, blanket flower, black-eyed susans and one lone bee balm are all blooming. A small red bird feeder hangs in the middle of the wildflower patch. Behind the lawn sits a beige house with green trim, the state flag of Ohio hangs from the big porch.

Step 1: go to Findlay Market in Cincinnati
Step 2: acquire focaccia
Step 3: eat literally all of it in one sitting
A close up photo of an aluminum baking pan, measuring about 8 by 10 inches, filled to bursting with a golden brown focaccia bread. It is covered in bubbled white cheese and studded with cherry tomatoes and dried herbs. It tasted better than it looked, and it was pretty damn good-looking.

A very large and extremely fluffy white and black cat, stretched out on a gravel parking lot. He is waiting for you to rub his checks and scritch his ears! Do it!!

Rook, ever-dignified.
A very fluffy black cat reclines on her back in a very undignified manner. Several fish toys surround her, against a beige carpet. She looks at the camera with a startled, possibly embarrassed expression.

Behold! Midnight Moussaka!!!
A glass baking dish filled with layers of eggplant, lamb, tomatoes and peppers, topped with a bechamel sauce prepared traditionally (in a frisson of panic) and more grated cheese.

A view of a counter and stovetop with several items: leftmost is a baking sheet filled with roasted eggplant discs, in the middle is a pan filled with a bright red meat sauce, rightmost is a sauce pot filled with a creamy white bechamel sauce and whisk.

Explain yourself
A gray tabby cat is pictured close up from a low angle, and a human hand is holding some bitchy glasses up to his face, as though he is wearing them. He looks as if he has run out of patience.

Soup Achieved
A hand holds up a blue ceramic mug full of a yellow ochre-colored soup. This is a white bean soup with carrots, onion, garlic, rosemary, chicken broth and a squeeze of lemon.

A closeup photo looking into a bubbling pot of soup. In the froth, one can see carrot, sprigs of rosemary and a golden broth. Unseen but present is a meowing cat, convinced the can opener is a herald of midnight cat snack (he will be disappointed).

He's about to commit A Crime
A grey tabby cat, laying on a blanket, with drool sliding down his right fang. This is highlighted with a circle and arrow drawn is red. He is about to shake his head, which will fling the drool onto the person he is laying on, which is A Crime!

Sooo mysterious!
A plastic tray filled with seed-starter pods, roughly half of which have mystery seedlings sprouting at varying heights. A hand covers behind them, to show off the tallest seedling of about 5 inches.

Soft boi needs his cuddles
A grey tabby cat snuggled into a lap, politely folding his paws under himself. He's looking at the camera, expectantly, as you should be petting him instead of taking a picture.

It! Is! F A L L
A hanging basket with black petunias and a silvery trailing plant. A ceramic pumpkin has been sprayed with yellow, orange, green and black paints. It sits on a mat, outside on a brick patio. A close-up of a black and white fuzzy caterpillar. It is the hickory tussock moth caterpillar. 6 crescent-shaped handpies are cooling on a wire rack, apple filling oozing out of the vent holes.

And now we bid a sleepy goodnight to Caturday
A grey very smug tabby cat is sleeping blissfully on his side, on top of a cozy blanket-draped ottoman.
