goooood morning it is cool and bright and we made our rounds, visiting yoga ladies, catching a thumbs-up from the grannies, and caught up with neighbor buddy “Bodie” for the first time in awhile so yes, of course: Lucy Loved That Walk

someone asked if Monty killed that rug himself, and I think this video pretty much secures a guilty verdict in crocodile court

The Morning Monty is not impressed with the weather’s gray bluster.

Fluffy gray tabby lounging on a blanket that’s folded on the back of a couch; behind him is a honey-colored velvet drape that matches his big gold eyes. He is a judgey little man, but we love him anyway.

goooood morning it is cool and windy as heck, but we made our rounds and shared our snacks, said hello to some neighbors, and generally had a pleasant perambulatory experience, so yes you know it: Lucy Loved That Walk

goooood morning it is cool and sunny and we made our Monday rounds, visiting the yoga ladies, the bus stop waiters, and the preschool kids alike, so yes, as always: Lucy Loved That Walk

Big fluffy black and tan husky mix with bright blue eyes and a big smile, sitting on a white sidewalk beside some evergreen shrubs.

Same dog, same scenario, except now her gaping maw snatches a bite of poptart out of the air, like a BOSS.

Yeah, my crow army has evolved as several generations have fledged in my backyard; they’re very comfortable with me. These are city birds. I figure a few hippie fruit loops from Trader Joe’s won’t hurt them (or Lucy, when I run out of poptart crusts).

The Morning Monty takes his sunny windows while he can get them.

Fluffy gray tabby lounging on the back of a couch with the blinds brought down a bit - so he can toast himself, but I’m not blinded as I try to watch tv.

The Morning Monty picks a spot to toast himself.

Fluffy gray tabby lounging in a sunbeam atop a pink crocodile throw rug. His eyes are huge and gold, and his ear tufts are on point.

The Morning Monty doesn’t need a sunbeam to look like a supermodel.

Fluffy gray tabby sitting upright on the back of the couch beside a window. He is unreasonably handsome.

If the Morning Monty can’t have a sunbeam, at least he can have auntie @kambriel.com’s quilt - which we don’t let him drag outside into the catios, so. A rather nice silver lining, tbh.

Fluffy gray tabby perched atop a quilt with lots of purple and black and patterns. He looks up at the camera with big eyes that say, “you’re not here to move me, are you?”

goooood morning it is cool and cloudy and that’s perfect weather for this little lady, so we made our rounds, shared snacks with crows, and collected cuddles from a neighbor or two - so yes, of course: Lucy Loved That Walk

Big fluffy black and tan husky mix with bright blue eyes, a big smile, and both ears a’popping.

Same dog, mouth open wide, snoot to the sky, as she snatches a bite of poptart out of the sky.

goooood morning it is cool and overcast and kind of damp, so we made our rounds and greeted school kids and yoga ladies, and I traded a crow half a poptart for the screaming bunny it was trying to steal - and even nobody got to eat the bunny: Lucy Loved That Walk

Beloved hive mind: Say hypothetically I wanted to find out if I was related (in any way) to a specific, real person born in the 1830s in England. Are there any solid options re: how to do this… apart from paying AncestryDNA a bunch of money + doing my own tedious legwork?

these glorious green metallic bees visiting my yellow tickweed

Ridiculously vibrant pic of a metallic green bee (both name and description, actually) perched in the center of a bright yellow blossom. I adjusted the contrast a touch for glare, but otherwise: unfiltered.

Same bee, different angle - now you see their little head poking out from the top and side, with little black antennae waving.

The bottom half of these bees is yellow and black striped, which is sometimes hard to see (they’re very fast, and if you see anything at all, you usually see the green). Same one, chilling on a yellow coreopsis blossom in the sun.

The Morning Monty has caught a very flattering sunbeam.

Handsome gray tabby in loaf form, on the back of a couch beside a window. The sun catches his whiskers as they explode from his little spotted snoot, a perfect arc of delicate white hairs - so unreasonably long that they touch the couch he rests upon.

goooood morning it is cool and overcast and we had a relatively uneventful loop around the neighborhood - but we shared snacks with our crow friends and said hello to some little kids waving from a car, so yes it’s true: Lucy Loved That Walk

Fluffy black and tan husky mix with her eyes scrunched shut as she smiles at the end of a red leash.

Bonus bonus (via my stepmom in Texas): Percy, looking terribly handsome in the morning light.

Shaggy blonde dog with marvelous pointed ears and a generally muppet-esque appearance - including a shiny black nose and dark eyes. She The morning light makes his coat glow.

The crows chased away this visitor before I could get a good look, but maybe one of you folks recognize the underside of this fleeing bird of prey. (Seattle, not far from a Cooper’s hawk preserve - but this looks too big to me; maybe it’s a young eagle or the like.)
