Mostly a lurker. Possibly occasional pictures of my pet chinchilla.
So. I did a thing today. (All photos from me)

No Kings in Geneva, IL.

Is it perfect? No. But after today it was something my heart needed to do. #slavaukraini

I am, by no means, talented. But watercolor is fun. And colors make me happy. Given Valentine's Day is right around the corner, I thought this was worthwhile to share. #watercolor #valentinesday

Here's my Norma Jeane

I put out a deicer and a bowl of water so everyone has access to water this winter. (And especially this weekend as it's been FRIGID)

This little guy is using it to have a snack and warm his butt.

Not EVERYONE is a fan of my one woman production of Wicked.....

Norma Jeane is done with holiday cheer already.

Adding to my list of light hearted reading.

Just a little light reading

It's a grey, dreary Monday here.

I have never been so jealous of her.

I was surprised (and glad!) to see this little guy out an about this afternoon. I figured they'd all gone into torpor.

Obligatory daily cute animal picture.

FAT SQUIRREL SEASON AHOY

Given, oh, everything going on in the world it felt like an excellent time to bust out my favorite book: Lamb by @theauthorguy.bsky.social

Fun fact. It was neither my birthday nor the holidays but my mom said I should say it is which is why the inscription is that way.

This is one of her favorite ways to sleep. Head off the ledge. Nose lower than her butt.

How she doesn't pass out from all the blood rushing to her little noggin is beyond me.

So. I'd had up for MONTHS a plastic tube feeder for the birds. Some enterprising squirrel figured out they could chew through it. So I replaced it, MERE HOURS AGO, with an all metal one.

Who else is lounging on this Friday eve?

Good morning!

Can I interest you in some unparalleled side eye from my chinchilla?
November 13, 2024 at 1:36 AM
Thought I'd share this if it helped anyone else seeing as I've had multiple panic attacks since Tuesday night (and this is coming from someone whose anxiety was well managed to the point I haven't had one in YEARS)

My favorite time of year has arrived: Fat Squirrel Season

In case anyone needs to see a chinchilla holding a cheerio like a donut
