#caturday morning. No, you cannot sort out the dirty laundry now. The bed was empty when I started to dump the hamper. 😹

#caturday evening

#caturday afternoon

TNR Dilly Pickle living her best life. #caturday

Sub 70 temps encourage me to wait for the day to warm before swimming. Nezumi and Chester Cheetah approve of this #caturday going back to bed after breakfast.

#caturday morning, after seconds of tuna, I have been forgiven for leaving earlier to go swim.

Watching Woodsy Owl sleep is guaranteed to lower my blood pressure

#Caturday afternoon, but that belly is a trap and must be resisted.

It was very hard to get out of bed this morning. #caturday

F'lar is gnawing on the handle of my spade, and so of course I must wait until he is done before I can use it. #caturday

They are letting me weed now! It was slow going the first 15 minutes.😸 #caturday.

F'lar has made the box fit him. #caturday

It is a good thing I bought a really comfy couch for the screen porch, because I rarely get to use the porch swing.

Tennis ball as pillow. Everyday is #caturday around here.

#caturday afternoon napping

F'nor is helping me fold laundry. Sigh.

Honey season! Left to right: the honey I tapped today, some of which over wintered, the last jar of last year's second tapping, and an empty for comparison. #flowhive

I finally got my Cava flower to bloom. The seed was planted back in the pandemic when a class reunion did a virtual wine tasting and I discovered I liked the Rondel Brut, which comes in the blue bottle.

Repost with a movie you know all the words to.

It is a rainy, bake some bread kind of day, but the decorative slashing indicates my mood

Spring, where I can have the fire going AND the door to the screen porch open on a rainy Sunday morning.

Enjoying the blooming season

All but 2 of the cats have forgiven me for going on vacation with my brother's family and their dog.

A squall line rolled through at sunrise, but now turning into a lovely day.

Walked down to the quiet dune lake to watch the sunrise.

Found my favorite section of this jigsaw puzzle

The sun is hot, but it is not yet 60, so the sand snow man is raising its minions to enjoy the brisk morning.

Joined my brother's family on vacation. First time visiting the panhandle. The beach is relaxing.

F'lar has rearranged the porch rug to his liking. Brother F'nor prefers the old dog's bed, and Chester Cheetah is watching something.

Highlander is such a nip fiend, but he won't go get it himself. I have to get up and harvest a bit for him.

I was trudging up my driveway with the now empty watering can. A car slowed down, the passenger window opened, and the woman driving yelled out "I love your yard! I enjoy it every time I drive past." Kind people are awesome 😎

As expected, the mass call today was to move the furloughed to terminated after the cancellation of 25 USAID contracts.

Chester Cheetah says he is definitely not the ginger cat who was asleep on my bed and hissed at me when I went in to get my book. And just for even thinking that I should pet him non-stop for a long time.

#caturday at least I still have most of my cup of tea to finish.

My new flag just arrived. Proud to show it.

Woodsy Owl can sleep happily because cats don't read the news.

F'nor doing his cat best to help me plant peas

Ever since the yellow circles faded I have been planning to put some more color in when I had some free time. It is a sliver of a silver lining.

#caturday playing outside with cats to decompress after looking at news.

The pallet garden potting table finally died. So I pulled out the plastic lumber offcuts and cedar beams saved from the trash pile when my deck was replaced, and built a new one. Most pieces were exactly the right size and I got to use 3 of the strong ties from my Dad's old stash. #reducereuse

Since I don't have to get dressed for work, I don't have to wake up F'nor now. Got to take what tiny good I can find in these surreal times.

Nice day for a ride. Was not going to stop for a photo but my brother texted me. I needed to respond so he would not worry.

Staring into the coals in the chiminea thinking it is an apt metaphor for my career now that the current project is officially terminated. An extraordinary large serving of red wine has at least left me calm.

More furlough "lemonade": the entire side fence line, all 72 feet, weeded before the end of February. Now the daffodils can shine next month.

Today's furloughed February Fitness activity is moving dirt to the gazebo bed. 5 shovelfuls per trug, average 25 steps each way. Made 5 trips and my goal is to finish before temps get out of the 50s.

Crafting my grief. My previous VHS tape and CD suncatcher garland lasted just over 4 years out in the garden.

Read headlines on front page. Go sit quietly in sunny corner with cats and just breathe.

Like the current administration, Chester Cheetah takes what he wants and feels no remorse. Perhaps it has something to do with being orange.

The fire needs another log, but I am trapped.

F'lar is perfectly happy with a more environmentally friendly box.
