Celeste has found her calling to be a book model. 🥰

Still good! 👍

Boo Bees 😂

My friend made me these brooches based off this shirt.
Two beaded brooches of bees wearing ghost costumes are placed on blue tissue paper in a brown box. They are Boo Bees. A brown haired woman using a crutch is wearing a yellow t-shirt that has 2 cartoon bees wearing ghost costumes and the words BOO BEES underneath. The bees are strategically placed on the shirt to be in the appropriate spot.

Mmmm. So tasty.

Clooney, living his best life, tucked away in-between my legs on the couch on his favourite blanket.

#Caturday
Two legs covered in a fuzzy red and grey plaid blanket. A black cat is stretched out in-between the legs, snoozing the afternoon away.

Turkey roast is in the oven, we have sunshine after a few cloudy days (even if it is only 5C), & M feels good enough to take the cats outside.

Thanksgiving afternoon is shaping up.
Text says Happy Thanksgiving. Images of fall leaves and pumpkins surround the text on a white background.

This sandwich sounds amazing but also more work than I would put into a sandwich so this deli would continue to receive my patronage.
Screenshot of a Bluesky post from @aniceburrito from Oct 1, 2025 at 4:53 PM I have successfully recreated my favorite sandwich from the deli near us and it's so over for them. Chicken cutlet, arugula with some oil and balsamic, shaved granny smith apple, dried cranberries, chopped walnuts, tomato. #theft #intellectualproperty

It is ridiculously hot for Sept 30th.

Was just outside with the kitties and I was very happy when they wanted to come in after 10ish minutes.

I don't care for this temp in July when it would be a lot closer to normal. 🥵
Screenshot of a weather app listing the temperature at 29 degrees celsius with a humidity 'feels like' temperature of 33 degrees celsius. There is a graphic for partly cloudy and wind speed of 21 km/h from the south-southeast with gusts up to 32 km/h.

Got myself this beautiful mug today at a gift shop. From Native Northwest, which I've not heard of before but there are lots of others beautiful items on their website.

Picture of a beautiful 16oz white mug with a Coast Salish style teal and purple owl on it. The interior of the mug is the teal colour. Beside the mug is a box. It labels the mug as coming from the Native Northwest company and the artist is Simone Diamond of the Coast Salish.

The Pet of the Week on the news this AM.

Helly's favourite activity is to judge everyone and be extremely unimpressed by what she finds 🤣

I would do anything for her approval based on this picture.

Helly, the Pet of the Week, is a grey tuxedo cat who is extremely unimpressed with having her picture taken.

Michael's pulling this realness. 100 days until Xmas. Good thing I bought M's present a couple days ago 🤭

A super chill bunbun in our front yard this morning.

Wait, WHAT??? You access the private porch (that's on the front of the house) from the bathroom?!?! Who thought this was a good idea?

'Sorry honey, I know you are showering to get ready for work but I want to drink my morning coffee on the porch.'
Partial screenshot of a house floorplan showing a Owner's Suite with a private porch that is accessed only through French doors from the bathroom. Oh, and this is on the front of the house so you can't even imagine a chance of privacy unless whoever builds this puts up a giant hedge around the porch.

Look at who is hanging out in our front yard!

We've seen them flying around but never expected them to be here.

No rabbits or squirrels under the trees...

Zoomed in view of two birds of prey sitting in a tree. One is dark brown with white spots facing away. The other is cream coloured with brown streaks facing the camera.

Air quality index is down to a 4 and I can't see or smell smoke in the air. It's been a week of super smokey days so this is very welcome!

Now we're having cinnamon buns for breakfast out in the yard with the kitties. Great way to start a long weekend 😸

Me at a party:
Picture of a rectangular throw pillow. The pillow has a floral pattern with a text box on it that says "I came, I saw, I left early." Found at the Home Sense store if anyone wants it.

FYI if you are going to the International Peace Garden by Boissevain - you are going through the border crossing and need all the ID that entails:
Screenshot of the FAQ for the International Peace Garden. It says: Do I need a passport to visit the Peace Garden? A passport or Nexus card is preferred as it expedites the process,but Border Services for Canada and the United States will accept a Driver's License and Birth Certificate as well.

Happy #Caturday from snoozy Celeste!
Picture of a tabby cat curled up in a ball, lying on a brown blanket. The blurred background is of hanging clothes and drapery. Her head is on her side and whiskers can be seen poking up into the world.

24. Light from Uncommon Stars by Ryka Aoki

I can't find a way to summarize in the length allowed so read this ⬇️

I would have a bit more emphasis on Katrina, her viewpoint was a large portion of the book.

I hadn't read the summary since I requested the book so the alien part surprised me a lot. 🤭
Picture of the front inside cover of the book 'Light from Uncommon Stars' summarizing the story: Shizuka Satomi made a deal with the devil: to escape damnation, she must entice seven other violin prodigies to trade their souls for success. she has already delivered six. When Katrina Nguyen, a young transgender runaway, catches Shizuka's ear with her wild talent, Shizuka can almost feel the cursed lifting. She's found her final candidate. But in a donut shop off of bustling highway in the San Gabriel Valley, Shizuka meets Lan Tran, a retired starship captain, interstellar refugee, and mother of four. Shizuka doesn't have time for crushes or coffee dates, what with her very soul on the line, but Lan's kind smile and eyes like stars might just redefine a soul's worth. And maybe something as small as a warm donut is powerful enough to break a curse as fast as the California coastline.

I bought 2 new guest towels for when my mom visits. I put them on the bed before taking the tags off.

Of course a kitty decided that this was now the best possible napping location. She has been here for over 3 hours.

The cats went inside and almost immediately, this little bunny went hopping by the deck.

It's sooooo small, like the size of our boy cats head small.

Or, better idea, the 4th Territory.

I don't think you've shown you can govern responsibly enough to get provincial status immediately.

Made a pair of leg warmers this weekend. Hopefully they help with the cold sensitivity side effect when I go for treatment tomorrow!

Made on the 36 peg loom. They stay up on top of my pants but I'd drop to a smaller loom if they were on bare legs.
