The winter TV is on; quite warm weather allows for open windows and so we can all enjoy the #SparrowGang song and sounds of little wings coming and going #BirdFeeder #PhoneVideo #LivingInTheSticks

Eepy doggo after the vet stole his ⚾️⚾️ requires his pack close while he sleeps off the drugs.
He was the goodest boi ever, not a single protest, not a moment of disobedience. So the least we can do is sit with him and let him know we're both here while he recovers.

Lol, sliding chickens!
This year's hens started to lay recently and they are pretty productive :)

Lean, not mean, carrot-shredding machine!

#AzirafalTheDog loves carrots as a treat. He also loves snow. We were trying to prevent him from eating too much snow, so we skipped his favourite pass time of sniffing out carrot slices. Today I gave him a whole carrot, so he rolled it in the snow...
A big black dog with floppy ears and longer fur on legs stands over a carrot rolled in snow, muzzle slightly askew because he's chewing on the vegetable, looking straight at the camera. There is a bit of snow on his back and on his nose.

Pretty kitties enjoying their summer. Pondělí, the grey tabby, is now nine months old.

#LivingInTheSticks #LifeOfBarnCats #PondělíTheCat #BedřichTheCat
A tabby and white cat is lying on it's side with paws stretched out in sunshine on concrete pavement with cut grass growing in the gaps. Higher grass and watering cans are in the background. The cat is obviously having a lazy moment. A grey tabby is climbing down a moss-covered branch of a cherry tree, partially shaded. Blue sky, green leaves and ripening cherries in the background. The cat looks very focused, going about its business. A tabby and white cat sits in a big box partially filled with other old cardboard. A smaller darker grey tabby looks at the bigger cat from the right. Face of the bigger cat is visible, eyes closed. Both cats seem to sniff at each other. Two cats are standing side by side on a brown bench. The bigger one stands closer to the back rest and it is a white with tabby back and patches on its head. The smaller one, a grey tabby with no white, stands more to the edge of the bench, leaning on the bigger cat and also has its tail plopped over the bigger one's back. The bigger cat sniffs at the smaller one's ear. Photo is taken from above.

At dusk, a blackbird flew to our shed roof and started pretending it's a weather wane. I love living here!

Pic was taken with a 22x zoom.

The picture is taken in portrait. Upper part of image is light blueish grey of coming dusk. On the lower part is visible a grey roof from corrugated metal that stretches across the photo, some moss can be seen and a bare branch pokes up behind it on the right. In the centre of the lower part of the image is a dark grey structured gable wall with red metal saddle roof stretching to left and right. Top of the gable reaches above the corrugated roof and on the very tip stands a blackbird, showing against the sky as a silhouette. Its wings are folded and it's positioned with its tail to the left and the yellow beak to the right. The bird's beak and the red metal of the angled roof are the only coloured things in the picture, while the bird's silhouette is stark black and both the walls and the sky are different soft shades of grey.

#PondělíTheCat is growing with a magnificent speed. The big one, #BedřichTheCat is attempting to demonstrate proper loafing, sfinx and simply sleeping positions but the little hyperactive rocket only stays in one place for 30 seconds max...

I have a #gardening cat. Apparently she prefers water streams to laser beams 🤷🏼‍♀️ Unfortunately, I cannot use water spray as an educational tool now because she considers it play 😅

I'm in the middle of pruning our elder bush and the quality assurance team had to go and check while I have a breather.

You're absolutely right! He's also the best tater guard!

1) In the autumn, pick your apples
2) throw them in a crate and put an old sheet over it
3) enjoy fresh apples the whole winter
(Steps 1 & 2 by @ginnyzestatku.bsky.social I only joined in step 3 😇)

When the big cat is not around, the best toy ever is apparently a dead spider... 🤷🏼‍♀️

Big cat brought a mousie to teach the kitten to hunt but she absolutely refused to participate and went hiding...

When your friend group loves Sir Pterry, you sometimes dine on fine rats on the stick. With ketchup.
