Sherlock and I send back pats.

A large, black cat sits loaf-style, with all paws tucked under, staring at the camera while lounged length-wise on a pale beige sofa. A green pillow and container of pencil crayons are beyond him.

Been low on posting spoons lately; here’s some Sherlock!

A large, black, Maine Coon mix cat lounges insolently on a beige-sheet covered chair. His head is turned towards the camera. Behind him is a blue throw pillow.

It’s springtime in Ontario.

A closeup of deep pink crabapple blossoms, with the rest of the tree in the background. Sun shines through the tree branches, washing out the window of the house barely seen behind. Caption: It’s springtime in Ontario.

Yesterday’s Caturday picture. 🐈‍⬛

A large, black, Maine Coon mix cat lays on a rumpled beige sheet draped over a chair. He is looking curiously over to the left, ears pricked up. His paws and tail are tucked comfortably. He is laying against a blue and green throw cushion with the word Lake and subtitle: (n):as in showing behind the cat. The caption reads: Yesterday’s Caturday picture! Black Cat Icon

My cat reminds me to pause and listen to the birds. Happy Caturday!

A Maine Coon mix black cat is perched low on a bed looking to the right. In the background are various knickknacks on a set of shelves next to the bed, pillows on the bed, and a lighthouse nightlight on the pony wall behind the bed. Caption: My cat reminds me to pause and listen to the birds. Happy Caturday!

If you see this, post or quote post a boarded walkway. This is Mel Swart Park in Thorold, ON.

A railed boardwalk by a small lake, with the sun setting in the background. In the foreground are tall reeds and wild rice partially obscuring the boardwalk from view. The glow of the setting sun covers the boardwalk and reeds, and is beginning to create orange and yellow sunset colours in the sky. Wispy clouds streak the sky, and the far shore of the lake is densely lined with trees. The caption reads: If you see this, post or quote post a boarded walkway.

Foggy beach today, but still Canadian. #never51

A Canadian flag is suspended from a railing and blowing gently in the wind. In the background, fog nearly obscures the beach. The caption reads: Foggy beach today, but still Canadian. Hashtag never 51

Made my vote in the federal Liberal Leadership Contest! The longest part of the process was getting my personal information corrected. I verified in-person at my local Canada Post outlet after work today and had the emails and instructions to vote this evening! #canpoli 🍁

We in Ontario have a beautiful province; let’s work together to help keep it that way. Our healthcare, education system, and environment need us to vote and vote responsibly today. #onpoli #ontarioelection

It’s Family Day long weekend here, and this Caturday we’re also trying to stay cozy in a snow storm!

My old cat loved the sunshine warming her bones (and butt).

It’s finally Caturday once again, and a chance to chill a bit.

I live on the Eramosa section of Silurian dolostone here. My area was once a large, warm, inland sea, so we are sedimentary (with the odd glacial erratic) with plenty of lovely fossils. Source of pic: vqaontario.ca/wp-content/u...

We so rarely get winter sun here between two Great Lakes. It was a brisk, but beautiful, Saturday afternoon this past weekend!

Hope your first Caturday of 2025 is a restful one. 🐈‍⬛

Winter scene from the northeast shores of Lake Erie. It’s nice to see the sun once in a while.

It was a chilly, but gorgeous, afternoon to walk our local beach on Lake Erie.

On Caturdays we wear our fish toys around the house. 🐈‍⬛🐟🤣

A large black domestic cat approaches the camera with a white shoestring draped over its back. The cat is in a dining area with cat food bowls nearby.

Thanks for the follow @granitestatenews.bsky.social @nashuanh.bsky.social and @manchesternh,bsky.social. Your state is beautiful, and I loved working off the coast in ‘99 and being based out of Portsmouth (pictured).

Your puppers are so cute! I have a black Void (Sherlock), who keeps me company and on my toes!

Sunset on November 5. I wish the next day had dawned even more beautiful than this, but, alas. Hugs and fist bumps (take your pick) to my friends and neighbours to the (mostly) south. Persevere, and know that you have an ally and safe place here.

I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve reread this book. It’s one of my favourites. Red and Blue’s story guts me every time. 📚 💙 #booksky
