Happy #Caturday from Peanut Butter. The quietest most elusive cat I’ve ever known. Aug 2023 she came tumbling out of the engine compartment of a black Mercedes at an intersection. She was tiny.

She likes this old light box. Happy #Caturday.

I’ll tell you what’s up. The most elusive tortie is now all the sudden snuggly and affectionate. Confusing but I’ll take it. 🤍🤎🖤

Good morning.

When 4 of the cat treats stick together just right, it looks a little like the classic Xanax bars.

Close-up of a gray tabby cat eating cat treats. Four of the individual treats stuck together end to end to form one long treat.

I waited hours for this cloud to come near the lake #lightning strike reflection.

Rainy day activity.

Same as the previous photo but the cat has stretched out a little.

Haunted tour of the Ryman. Interesting just to be there with it quiet and empty.

Ryman auditorium in Nashville. On the stage level, behind the audience. Tall narrow arched stained glass windows of strong reds, dark and light blues, and pale yellow. These cast a soft evening light across the semi circle of tightly spaced antique pews. A warm glow of stage lights illuminates a faint hazy dust in the air.

Lazy Sunday for Laszlo and Russel.

Our neighbor usually throws her Sunday paper over the back fence so we can read it. Sometimes Russel gets ahold of it and spreads it around the backyard. Today, Laz gets to writhe on it.
