Pearlie, the pint sized alpha cat took Luna’s favorite bird watching seat and Pearlie doesn’t even like watching birds. Luna isn’t amused & is planning revenge.

I have been teaching a senior seminar in Food Narratives for 5 years Check out my article on instant matzoh ball soup created by a Goucher College alumna and order yours before Passover (great for care packages).

Unseasonably warm 58° #caturdaymorning on the front porch with Pearlie & Luna. It will drop 30° this afternoon, so we are enjoying the porch while it’s balmy.

Pearlie’s early morning steam facial, and Luna desires to go on the unheated enclosed porch (it’s a balmy 20° F). Ying & Yang. Luna was out there <5 minutes. #cats #catsofbluesky #kitty #yingyang #blueskycats

First snow of the season. Luna is surprised by snow. Tarragon chicken stew, which we loved and so did the cats (with the sauce washed off). Luna wanted more, please. #cats #catsofbluesky #snowycat #foodiecats

Pearlie & Luna aren’t sure what to make of the tree. Pearlie just wants to lounge in a warm spot. Luna wants to play with all the balls (they’re the unbreakable kind). #catsofbluesky #cats #kitties #blueskycats

Pearlie approves of Cajun sneaux sent by my grad school friend from Lafayette, LA as she can admire it from her space above the radiator on this 26°F morning.
