He’s so cute! Our Jasper is also a grazer who I sometimes have to feed separately in my office just so he can get some peace at breakfast

Jasper says it’s naptime and work can kick rocks.

A small gray cat in a rubber ducky collar looks at the camera from between a white duvet and pink sheets. He looks very pleased with himself.

I love an insane sunset just before a storm.

The sunset glows off of the clouds above a full parking lot in Oklahoma. A green Sprouts sign flows in the distance.

Hackberry leafroller caterpillars, my now-annual nemeses. I hate these little green dudes. Stop defoliating my least favorite trees, I need the shade!

All these lovely clouds and not a drop of rain at my house. My poor garden thirsts!

Trying to hype myself up for the rest of today’s work trip - two flights, three Ubers and about three hours surveying at a mall food court in Los Angeles. These one day trips are exhausting! Any music suggestions?

Desperately manifesting spooky season because the 108° weather today has me near-suicidal.

Currently housesitting with this dilute tortoiseshell angel named Ellie. She walks out to the chicken coop with me to stand guard while I collect the eggs.

Please, for the love of all that is holy, have a building professional look before you start knocking out walls for your DIY renovation. Y’all have no idea how to identify bearing walls and your roof is going to collapse on you eventually.

The way the air goes cold when the sun blinks out is a crazy sensation. I photographed the 2024 total eclipse with a telescope and realized you can see coronal mass ejections during. It was pretty cool!

Bonus Jasper baby photos from when he was still feral but desperate to be friends with our barn cat Piet and very curious about the inside of my sunroom. He self-domesticated and basically kept breaking into my house until I gave in and got him vaccinated and neutered.

Yeah sure okay here’s Jasper doing Jasper stuff like opening the curtains to watch the neighbors, sleeping under my desk, and the whole cat family before a few of our most senior cats passed earlier this year.

A small gray cat watches the rain outside a window. He’s pulled the curtain back himself so he has a clear view.

It’s that time of year again when I shop for houses in Minnesota (that I can never buy because I’m trapped under my current mortgage 🥲) and fantasize about cooler summers and cold winters. The seasonal depression is real here in Texas.

Ontario International Airport sure asks some invasive “optional questions” (they’re not optional, the form won’t submit without them) just to use their public wifi, which the. Just didn’t connect anyway. Love living in surveillance hell.

As a matter of fact of fact, yes!

The girls worked up a fresh new chick today apparently. I didn’t even realize they were siting anything viable.

Waiting for preorders is agonizing but it’s always exciting when it’s coming from @missmonster.bsky.social ! Love my little guardians (sorry for making you hold on to them for so long!) and the charm was well worth the wait. Thanks so much for the sheet of stickers and the quartz as well!

Two fantastical stone and metal figures sit on a flagstone, nestled in greenery, with a quartz spear resting in front of them. The smaller stone figure is seated and covered in various lichens and mosses, and has a mischievous grin. The larger figure is finished to appear as aged metal, and holds its four arms in a devotional pose. It’s glittering eyes look upwards. A small brass bell and green and orange beads hang from its neck on a red string.

A small, fantastical metal charm rests on a vibrantly green elephant ear leaf. Orange ticks are visible in the background.

Did some weeding today while out back with the dogs, so the chickens got a treat. I should post here more often!

Also, no one else appreciated my stupid sexy moth man costume but y’all might

Had a ton of fun at the faire today, less fun watching a belligerent drunk get arrested in our campsite after crawling out from under the neighbors truck. Wild weekend, y’all!

And I did finish the handle, I was just waiting for the blade to dry. I may darken it later on to imply frequent use and hand oils.

Finally painting my @missmonster.bsky.social and @smogteeth.bsky.social pieces while I sit around waiting for Texas Renaissance Festival to start! 😁 I’m very pleased with this wash.

Man, have I missed the smell of pine trees. Time to set up tents! And if anyone else is at the Texas Renaissance Festival, feel free to reach out!

The garden is feeling orange today I guess. I’m not mad about it.

Image features a cluster of orange cape honeysuckle flowers. Behind them is a glass yard ornament of a penguin wearing a Christmas hat (this ornament lives in this flowerbed year-round).

Piet has made some friends in the last couple of weeks. A feral female and her kittens moved into the yard but everyone seems to be getting along. 🐱 They’re already getting more curious about people so hopefully we can socialize them and send them to proper homes.
