“Can do” kind of person, part of cat distribution system, reasonably fearless, bird, trees and the natural world connections. Thinker of thoughts.
Kitty boy, my oldest resident. He’s on my landing in his heated bed. He’s as soft as a bunny. I wish he would come inside.

Lits came into my life as a starving 6 month old intact kitty. He’s been with me for about 3 years. Today, he was adopted by my daughter and his absence here is palpable.
I still have four others who also showed up on their own. It still seems very empty here. My door is open.

Beautiful woodpecker having a drink.
I’ve never seen a woodpecker drink from a water station before but birds always surprise me.
The water tray is on a stand on top of a wrought iron patio table. Cats have no chance.

This. He’s an ugly bast*rd, always has been, always will be. Why he thinks he’s good looking is beyond my comprehension. He’s a troll that should be living under a bridge.

Blondie’s world is upside down. I drove nearly 3 hours one way, out to Medford to get urgent care for him.
So worried, he stopped eating and is very lethargic, drooling like a faucet.
Turns out, he has an ulcer on the tip of his tongue. Must have licked something caustic! Painful.
Poor boy. #cats

I bought a bag of organic cherries yesterday and noticed that the words “HAND PICKED” were printed on the bag prominently.
A friendly reminder about WHO is picking our fruits!!
I grow fruits, and picking fruit is hard work, takes skill and is highly unappreciated. #ThoughtfulThursday

In all my decades of #birdwatching I’ve never seen this behavior before.
Two steller’s jays on the ground with wings spread. They held position for an eternity (well maybe a full minute) and repeated the action once more for a short time.
They appeared to be sunbathing. Joy!
