sleepy & beautiful children.... when they're not being incredible scrunglers (our word for zoomies), they become these perfect little cuties who settle down soooo angelically. I love these kids so much 🥲

Kishka's beautiful face is a little out of focus, but I still love these images of our children. It's been about a week since we got them and they are doing very well! They are incredibly friendly and purr-y. We are so lucky to have them. #catsofmastodon […] [Original post on mastodon.ie]

Another Purple Sage (Salvia leucophylla) and its dedicated guests.....so many bees were all over this bush! It was so nice to be there, surrounded by the buzz and hum of these folks. Some seemed to be bickering over the flowers! #bee #bees #bumblebee #nativeplants
