I’ve been a bit absent lately with a very busy holiday schedule. With a full day off, Debbie has been lovingly attached all day. So nice to be home. #catsofbluesky

Today my husband @chugarden.bsky.social and I did identical Wordles independently, both in 4. On our 9th wedding anniversary!! Here are our first three words ASTER ROUND CRIMP

It’s #caturday. Here is Debbie and my dear husband Ash enjoying a fire on a cold Minnesota night.

About this time every day in the cold Minnesota winter, Harry stares, waiting for me to turn on the fire. #catsofbluesky

So @chugarden.bsky.social harvested the Brussels sprouts from under the snow and now they are thawing out. Seems like the thawing of the sprouts might be a pleasant holiday tradition

For #caturday here is Debbie enjoying some black bamboo. In Minnesota it doesn’t stand a chance in the winter weather but Debbie is fairly small. It has a fighting chance inside.

Harry enjoying a new mushroom pillow. How do they instantly find the tiniest change in the house? Seems perfect for leaning on a #caturday.

Mandolin and beer and I am completely content

A throwback for #caturday. Harry looking intense on a lamp. In reality, Harry is far from intense and there is no way he is fitting on a lamp these days.

Voted! @chugarden.bsky.social and I were 770 and 772 in W1-P5. Felt joyful to vote for @dewayneforminneapolis.com, @elliottpayne.org, @engy5150.bsky.social and more!

It’s #caturday and Debbie is adorably in my spot. I guess I will need to find another seat.

My buddy took me to Wisconsin and it was preposterously awesome. A chickadee ate from my freaking hand! It was so tiny, it had no weight, I could only feel its tiny talons

We believe these handsome rabbits might be siblings. They have similar ginger fur & aquiline noses

Happy #caturday! Here is Harry intensely staring at his bunny pal while his bunny pal stares intensely at Harry.

This sweet summer child of a rabbit seems to want to be friends with the cats

3 happy little goldfinches nibbling away at a hyssop.

It’s #caturday and Debbie is demurely crossing her ridiculously tiny paws.

My new #crochet project is really bringing out Harry’s eyes. Happy #caturday!

Now that we can post our own gifs, here’s our new Minnesota Pride flag 🎉

Happy #caturday from Debbie and Harry

I received a trail camera for my birthday from my husband @chudgar.com. We have a raccoon in the yard. They eat my corn but you can’t deny they are photogenic 😀

It’s #caturday and Debbie and Harry are VERY interested in the tiny bunny on the front walk.

Update: a 10-year-old is singing “Africa” by Toto (1982)

It has been a heavy week. But, I still have a backyard. My next door neighbor Daisy is having a 10th karaoke birthday party. You have not lived until you hear a 10 year old singing Toto’s Africa with full commitment

A little bunch of things from the late summer garden. My mom passed away this weekend and she was a very keen gardener. I like how she quietly instilled her love of plants with me. Between you and me, it was the only thing she did quietly. 😀

If you’re into sparrow feet have I got a photo for you

Debbie loves her little Kong yarn ball. Things can get a little rowdy if Harry gets involved so it is a “supervised” toy 😄 Happy #caturday

A tiny hummingbird bird resting on a big ol wire. He’s a regular to the yard.

It’s #caturday! Don’t know anything about this very handsome black cat. They visit in the evenings and sometimes Debbie and Harry chatters with them. I’m a sucker for a black cat ❤️

Poor wet woollybear 😢

The garden is maturing nicely. This is our tiny pond just begging for a frog to move in.

Debbie admiring a sunset this week. Happy #caterday 

Debbie isn’t much of a cuddler but Harry is. He very subtly keeps a foot on Debbie for snoozing. Happy #caturday!

Not sure what Harry is up to here. Practicing sitting up? Happy #caturday!

I know #gardeners and #bunnies are supposed to be enemies but come on. A very tiny bunny eating peas. What is not to love?

#cats are not bothered by heat advisories. Surface temperature of 104.9 F.

For #caturday. The puff ball remains of a Debbie and Harry play session.

Yin yang #cats basking in the sunshine. This is Harry and Debbie’s new favorite spot.

Big ‘ol #bumblebee on foxglove beardtongue . He was so big, he kept snapping off the flowers.

Look at this nice mushroom @chugarden.bsky.social found in the garden! From genus Oudemansiella (per @inaturalist.bsky.social)

It’s #caturday. I’m in Minneapolis and I almost didn’t post. I won’t the bastards get me down.

The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible

March reaches the Capitol

At the Capitol, grim but determined crowd. Marchers approaching

Harry gently draped for #caturday.

#peony season is a brief but lovely time of year.

My lone Itoh #peony bloom just about to bust out.
