Please share this if you are in or around Philly. Police need our help to arrest/convict Anna’s killer… there is a $20,000 reward if information leads to a conviction.

In June of 2024 my first borns friend was found murdered/decomposing in the Frankfird section of Philadelphia. Her name was Anna. This was the only news story about her- even after she was later identified. Until today. 6abc.com/post/frankfo...

Outdoor kitties deserve catnip too. #Caturday

Thanksgiving & Pilgrim are becoming part of our Thanksgiving tradition. 🦃

I just found out my great grandfather was a carnie! I’m actually proud of being a carnie descendant! ☺️

So much fogginess this morning in Philly. 😱

If I had a dollar for every time I sneezed today I would easily have $200… oh and the sneezing fit that woke me up gave me a nose bleed. That’s a new one. 🤧

Boys and I voted in Philly. Hope it helps. And yes we voted dem (mostly) & yes on retaining our supreme court judges. There was one race we voted for a dem who ran as a republican. We’re complicated like that.

My two oldest gave out 6.5 pounds of candy in less than an hour… next year, we’ll get more. Now it’s time for some Scary Godmother.

😳

Just got some wonderful news… I really should check my texts more frequently. I could have know 4 hours ago.

Age yourself with a film you saw in the cinema as a kid.

Rapturing people naked on Taco Tuesday isn’t gonna be pretty…

Kong is oven fresh 🤭 All the cats adore laying/sleeping on pizza boxes. Weird fetish.

My sunflowers bring all the bees to the yard…

I finally buried Chewbecca today (she passed over two weeks ago)... used my largest sized flower pot from outside. But keeping her inside since her coffin is glass jar. Repotted a jade plant above her. She's next to Boris in the window sill. 😞

This little guy (tomato hornworm) and his buddy (not pictured, but found in an empty outdoor critter food dish this afternoon) have been munching on my creeping trumpet vine all week and leaving little poops and empty stems (also not pictured) as evidence. Today was the first time I could see them.

Proud mommy moment- I just dropped Luke off for his first day at his first job… it’s at a deli/restaurant and one of his best friends will training him. I hope he enjoys it.

Found a slug in the fridge. Wondering what produce he came in on… and like all living things I find in the house that don’t belong, I released this guy into a flower pot outside.

Heartbroken. Chewbee (Chewbecca) passed this morning… I will miss her something fierce. She was the perfect hamster and she really loved her organic yogurt…

Chewbecca isn’t doing well. Won’t eat, but took some pumpkin baby food mixed w/water from a bottle, & I gave her water w/cucumber chunks in another bottle. She’s colder than normal so I used the kitten heating pad to keep her warm. I also have to clean off her hard poohs from her butt. 🥺

My one skunk that comes to eat on the porch, brought five little ones up tonight… so fricken cute. I didn’t want to startle the young ones with a camera flash so no pics… yet.

RIP Tattoo… wish your time with us could have been so much longer… and I am so sorry we couldn’t find dandelion leaves these last couple of weeks. I know they were your favorite. 💔

I am so sleep deprived. Insomnia is my nemesis.

Ford is fixed & home $300’s later. It had a bad ground connection… an issue my brother nor I would have never figured out. Think we’ll be staying with this new garage. Pretty certain the same service at Pepboys would cost a lot more. We would’ve saved 10% if we paid cash, credit card was $10 more.

In 45-75 minutes a tow truck will arrive to take the ford to a service garage up the street. Thoughts & good vibes would be appreciated that the repairs will be easy & cheap. Unfortunately, the brake light switch was not the issue. My brother replaced that last weekend & the ford still won’t start.

I have zero clue why Ares flips the box flaps the way he does. He can go upwards of 15 minutes in a single flap flipping session. With larger boxes he will sit inside and flip the flaps. He’s such a silly kitty.

RIP Ozzy… youtu.be/LCCiwPEdEpg?...

Productivish day. My brother brought me a gas powered weed whacker for the jungle that is my backyard & weed whacked to boot. He replaced the fuel pressure sensor on ford but it still is broken. 😞 My dad & stepbrother took the boys out to eat & Luke had his 1st after 21 alcoholic beverage.🍹

Connor couldn’t get a ride home from work, so I walked, met him halfway, turned around and walked him the rest of the way home. Could have done without the mugginess. 🥵

Did anyone else watch this show? It was short lived but amusing.

So the ford died a bit today. Turned off while driving. Could get it started but couldn’t shift out of park. Minute I hit the brakes it would shut off again. Got it towed home since I am still paying off the $1400 it cost me to do inspection in May. 🤦‍♀️

My phone did something wonky and knocked out a bunch of my contacts. If you happen to have my number and we’ve texted before, please shoot me a text with your name and if you want to you can send a pic as well so I can use it as your contact avi. Thank you 😊

Do good deeds count if you don’t brag about them?

My last lily the other night after the rain… Rogue yard sunflower preparing to bloom. First tiger lily blooming. Unknown flower- it looks bluer in person.

Happy Deadhead Day!

A gladiolus blooming amongst the lilies… beside a rogue sunflower who photobombed the first pic. 🤭

Things I want… and actually need. 🤭

Not the greatest pic (Connor tried though- his phone is better than mine), but the waxing gibbous moon is super red tonight 😮 I did include my pic too (it’s the one that isn’t zoomed in).

A couple of my nightly porch eaters… they don’t eat the porch, just the kitty food and food scraps I put out. The raccoon is named Brian, and skunk does not have a name yet. He took a bit of biscuit and walked backwards with it across the porch. 🤭

I was taking pics of my lilies (again), and I stumbled upon this little wasp in one of them. It was grooming itself ☺️

Oh joy! My lilies are blooming! I think they enjoyed me hosing them off yesterday evening. ☺️

Seriously considering getting this little one vetted (when financially able) & bringing them inside. Tux hangs out on my porch often, eats wet/dry food upwards of three times a day, enjoys pets & talking to me… & I don’t currently have an indoor tuxedo kitty. Paul passed & George moved out…

My carrot weather app amuses me. And it’s raining pretty good. Saves me from having to water the gardens in this heat wave.
