I made my own make-it-up-as-I-go soup this week - sweet potato soup that tastes far better than it looks very loosely inspired by creamy potato soup. It's in the freezer now or else I would make a bowl look better 😆

I need to make squash soup if anyone has inspo for that 🙏
Crockpot full of cooling sweet potato soup that is a creamy orange color like pumpkin pie batter

Pearl was happy to oblige

Update: she briefly let me put the tennis ball near her tonight
Small floofy sleepy cat loafing on a floral blanket looking highly unimpressed to have a tennis ball placed next to her for a photo; her human mama apologized for being silly just after image captured and she seemed appeased

Caturday naps are the best naps 😻
My brown floofy tabby cat Pearl curled up asleep on a floral blanket next to her human. Her head is resting on her front paws, which are outstretched towards the camera. She looks very cozy and comfortable

I put rest, including rest breaks, on my done list:

"Mama, it's too early" - Pearl
Close up of my cat, a brown fluffy tabby named Pearl, managing to both squint at and side eye me for taking her picture. It is early for both of us bc I woke up entirely too early and we were both hungry; this is post breakfast nap time for her.

This dude decided to hang out with me for a bit while I was weeding
Anybody know what it is? Looks like 🕷️🕸️ with egg sac maybe?
Macro side view of potential spider with large egg sac clinging to the side of a brown paper grocery bag For reference it's roughly quarter size in length Macro above view of potential spider with large egg sac clinging to the side of the brown paper grocery bag It's roughly quarter size in length and is a bit darker and greyer than the bag. The legs are gathered towards the head making it a bit difficult to count them or see the head clearly. The entire visible body has sparse coarse hair

What perfect album came out when you were sixteen? Tough choice but gotta give it to Britney, bitch:
Album cover art for Britney Spears debut album...baby one more time Britney is sitting like a frog basically with knees together and lower legs splayed out behind her (you see why she eventually killed her knees) but rocking the style of the day with a jean skirt, white camisole, and red button up short sleeved shirt with chunky strappy platform shoes, silver bangle bracelets, and a chunky silver ring. In general appealing to the USA crowd bc this is her North American album cover - which I used bc I live here. Ahem. The background is pink to enhance the teen girl image and give you a hint to the pop rock girl power music inside. As a teenager roughly her age I scoffed at this release, but the popularity and catchiness got me in the end. My apologies, Britney. Whatever, loser @ teenager me 😉

True yet distinguished baby here 😻 absolute snuggle muffin emotional support baby but very polite and sweet girl who asks for her cuddles and is generally very patient with her silly forgetful mama
My brown floofy tabby cat Pearl curled and snuggled up asleep next to me, her human, on a cream colored crocheted blanket

My timeline strikes again 😂
Slightly cropped screenshot of my feed with Blue Heron Farm's posts noting their Bird Buddy's failed bird identification (yet again). Next up is an unrelated post that says in all caps "birds aren't real"

"You're telling me there's more storms today?!? WTF" 😾
My brown floofy tabby cat Pearl paused mid-grooming with her right paw curled under her chin and a stern, angry look on her face directed at something off to the side

Last photo of my pet? A catnip induced party in my living room
My brown floofy tabby cat half laying on her scratcher ft a cat wand with a unicorn plushie and a ring channel for a plastic ball to chase; her little white bunny plushie lays just next to the scratcher; the unicorn, rabbit, and cat look like they're posing for a group selfie

The early spring flowers are here 🌱
Close up of a small grouping of crocus, two in royal purple bloom, one fully bloomed and one just beginning to open, among wood bark mulch and slightly shielded by a still dormant butterfly bush to the left Close up of a naturally tiny partially bloomed sunny yellow winter aconite growing amongst pine bark mulch and fallen leaves and twigs; cupped yellow petals surround many short yellow stamen and oblong green leaves fan out like a tutu just above the ground Close up of four lilac purple crocus just beginning to open nestled in pine bark mulch that are roughly the same size as the buds; from this angle above you can note the tangerine stamens peeking out of the buds

Definitely a period drama cat

My cat, earlier today. She now has bedtime zoomies

My cat has the right idea as usual
close up of my brown ticked tabby cat Pearl curled up asleep on a cream colored crocheted blanket next to a dark green pillow; the blanket is gathered around her so she can stay extra warm without being under the blanket (which she doesn't like)

Pet pictures are even more crucial than usual right now.

If you see this, post pets!
My cat, a fluffy brown tabby, laying on the couch beside me on a crocheted blanket. She's looking straight at the camera and looks pleased at being told she's a good muffin

You requested kitten thoughts?
Happy cat flopped over on her back soaking up the sunshine on a mesh cot by a glass door; her limbs are sprawled and her longish tummy floof is sticking up in all directions
