While this country is in disarray, I’m over here in the garden trying to find some joy in my back yard.

The news is so…it’s something. I did not sign up for this dumpster fire. I can’t believe we have to somehow survive the next 4 years. No thriving. Just surviving.

So here’s my cat Batman in a moment of behaving.

I’ve been building a Lego set (for myself!) all week, which has proved to be a challenge with Batman’s help.

I’m a big fan of a 5k on Thanksgiving morning, but especially if the race ends with pie and a very short stop by the beach.

A little how it started, how it’s going. Cat edition. Batman found us two years ago in an empty parking lot next to a lake (the day after Thanksgiving) and hitched a ride home with us back to Asheville. These days, he’s enjoying life and clearly hasn’t missed a meal in quite some time.

Happy Caturday to all who celebrate. Luna is spending it on the couch with her favorite blanket.
