Timeline cleanse.
Two kittens on a fuzzy white blanket. Tabby kitten in front is awkwardly licking one of his back paws, belly to viewer, while the white and tabby kitten loafing behind him stares directly at the camera. There is visible butt, sorry about that.

I have been blessed with a lap kitteh. He fell asleep as my bladder awoke. Now comes the contest of the law of being catted.
Tabby and cream kitten, close up, eyes closed and one white paw stretched toward the camera.

Feel like shit, whiny about a head cold that won't go away, hate this timeline. Need some fluffy therapy. Have a kitten. They're adorable.
Tabby kitten working very hard at his beauty sleep on a fluffy white blanket, his wittle paws curled under his chin.

Late for caturday, but it's Snack Pack photo time.
Ruffles (tabby kitten with white stockings and face) curled up on a white blanket. Cheeto and Ruffles sprawled together on a white blanket. The nose of a teddy bear is in the top right of the image. Frito, a tabby kitten with white forelegs and shoulders and a white blaze and cheeks, stares fixedly to the right while being petted. A laptop keyboard is visible behind him. There is the sense he is about to spin and pounce on something offscreen.

True friendship is shared food.

Right?!?!! The shelter named them, we started calling them the Snack Pack. Their brother is Cheeto.
Tabby kitten glares balefully at the photographer from a cat tree ledge. He has a white chin and a striped tail.

So very very sorry. Frito (left) and Ruffles (of the three-brother snack pack) send you calming and soothing stomach vibes. They think food is super important so they hope you can eat soon.
Two white and tabby kittens snuggle next to each other on a cat tree shelf. Both are sleepy-eyed and calm. One has a black dot on the tip of his white nose.

It's been a busy day.
A tabby and white kitten uses a teddy bear twice his size as a pillow. His eyes are shut, chin supported by the stuffed animal.

I am getting nothing done today. Also, my hips are going to sleep. But he's sooo comfortable.

Absolutely.

Cat-spam of the day. Cheeto, a few moments before he fell asleep.
A tabby kitten sprawled on my knee, one of his brothers blurred but visible just past my slipper.

How do I tell them I have to pee?
Two kittens are fast asleep on human legs, one right on top of the thighs and the other like he melted off the shins and oozed onto the bed.

The Snack Pack at rest: Frito, Ruffles and Cheeto.
Three tabby kittens cuddled side by side on a paisley bedspread, one with his head on the leg of a stuffed toy.

Meet Ruffles. This account may be nothing but pictures of the Snack Pack kittens for awhile.

My new therapists.

Omg, it worked! Photo of the first moonbow I've ever seen. Almost full moon, at the tail end of a lightning storm.
Photo of a moonbow--like a rainbow but from the light of a full moon instead, so not much color, just an arc of light over a juniper-tree dotted hillside. Lights of a small town at lower left, foreground in shadow.

Timeline cleanse. I've been catted before but this is the first time I've been mantis-ed.
A green praying mantis holds its forelegs in hunting position. A white plastic chair frame is behind the body and head of the insect, which crouches on a teal and white woven seat.

Planted potatoes in a straw cylinder as an experiment this year (you add more straw as the leaves grow). Harvested yesterday. I won't be living off the land anytime soon. 🤣🤣
I'll try it again with some modifications next year.
Nine purple potatoes on a tile countertop with a Penzy's mug in the back for scale. Biggest is about the size of the mug handle. Smallest three are more grape-sized.

I am sadly pet less at the moment but will a butterfly help?
