Especially when you're beating yourself with a proverbial stick. Not that I would know. 😅

A scream? A yawn? A plea for treats? "All three," says Pax. #Caturday #ExpressYourself

✨Today I want to give a huge shout-out and thank you to Alissa Thaler, the artist who created the cover of GLOW.✨ This is just a small sampling of her work. For many more delights, visit alissathaler.com and give her a follow on IG @alissa.thaler_illustrator. #kidlit #Glow #MGbooks

So thrilled to share the cover of GLOW! While aimed at kids 8-12, this story is for anyone with existential angst about climate change or, you know, life. We all need a little magic--and a little light.✨ Available for preorder now at your favorite bookstore! #magicalrealism #kidlitforall

As a grown-ass woman who reads kid lit on the regular, I endorse this message. A good book is a good book, regardless of genre. #readmore #kidlitforall

Ruby says that #Caturday is the perfect time to remind your human that you've always been adorable. And always will be.

This #Caturday, Pax wonders once again why humans keep thinking his name means "war."

This #Caturday, The Lemur continues her quest to reach the good stuff on the kitchen counter. It's up there. Don't quit.

Maybe we should have believed her the first time she said it. #VirginiaGiuffre #ArrestThemAll

"Men get to go shave their heads and chant and leave behind the people they were. Women get to raise kids who look more and more like their sisters, have to keep living in the old life, living in it and living in it and living in it." So real, poignant, and true, @jessdawn.bsky.social.

Be a grain of sand. Or a handful. Just be sand. #MondayMotivation

As a #CaturdayValentine, Pax recommends loving your true self, especially your snaggle teeth, soft tummy, and snarly hair. 💕💕💕

Look what survived last week's frost: more proof you never really know when you might bloom. #keepgoing 🌸

Since it's #Caturday, I've scheduled another appointment with my personal masseuse. I'd give you his contact info, but he's booked solid. Also, he has claws.

Somehow, in a whole yard covered in ice, the camellias are still showing off. #floridafreeze

#HappyCaturday from The Spare, who has lurked around my house as a TNR feral for years and has finally trained me to feed her on the regular. Every day, she greets me with a plaintive meow . . . and a hiss. 🖤

From this morning's walk, my first 2026 encounter with our beautiful barred owls . . . #floridabirds #atlanticbeachfl

I love this reminder to look at self-doubt as an ally, not an enemy. #stillstanding #stillwriting

This poem by Ilia Kaminsky has never seemd sadder, yet look how beautiful it is, how moving. Thank god for poets.

From me to you, a splash of color from my gray morning walk. #floridawinter #notquiteasnowday

So the “everyone should be armed” second amendment crowd is using the fact the a man was armed (maybe) as justification? Is this right?

Mr. Handsome Pants, unamused by the week's events, suggests a news-free #Caturday.

This morning's magical mist. #atlanticbeachfl

My kind of cat. Actually, the only kind of cat. 😂

This morning's moonrise, a delicate white egg breaking the darkness in two: my kind of insurrection.☮️ #January6th

Sometimes the grayest skies help me see what's beautiful below. #happymonday☀️

Kicking off my Sunday with this little reminder: make stuff; don't break stuff. #andreagibson #writeon

Happy First #CaturdaySaturday of 2026! Here's to another year of knocking pesky stuff to the floor. Someone's gotta do it, right?

Some mornings, I have to look a little harder to find something--anything--lovely. I'm always glad I did. 🪷

On the twelfth day of Christmas, the sun sliced through the trees, shining with the promise of peace. Happy New Year, friends. ☮️

On the eleventh day of Christmas, on the cusp of the new year, my sister saw this lovely young deer. 🤎

On the tenth day of Christmas? One lonely lemon on my lemon tree.🍋 #makelemonade #floridafruit

On the ninth day of Christmas? Winter's last hibiscus. 🌺 #floridaflowers #holidaymagic

On the eighth day of Christmas, I saw beside the sea this tiny, sparkly Charlie Brown tree. 🎄💚🎄 #floridalife #seadune

On the seventh day of Christmas, I admired with great awe a bevy of red poinsettias. #holidaymagic

On the sixth day of Christmas, I spotted by my toes this sweet, sandy oceanside rose. #merryandbright #floridalife

On the third day of Christmas, I saw this on the go: a sleigh pulled by two flamingos.😄 #floridalife

On the second day of Christmas, my front yard gave to me . . . a bud on my camellia tree. (Okay, it's really a bush: poetic license.😉)

Flashback #Caturday: three of my favorite kittens.

More December magic: the palm trees, lighting the way on my walk. 🌴✨🌴

Ruby came to live with us 17 years ago this winter. Just look at that little face!

From last night's walk around the neighborhood: Santa's "sleigh", Florida style. 🦩🎅🛥️

"Our job is to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy. That is not our business and, in fact, it is nobody's business. What we are asked to do is to love, and this love itself will render both ourselves and our neighbors worthy." ~ Thomas Merton
