Yesterday, fire near the house. Today, orange skies make the house look weird. Move to Colorado, they said. It's totally safer than Oklahoma, they said...

I pulled up literally 2 minutes before Big Boy rolled through Brighton, CO today. Could not believe my luck!

Let me cleanse your feeds with some adorable birb photos taken by @mcbeewx.com in our backyard yesterday. This hummingbird nest is about the size of a golfball, in case you're wondering how tiny this cuteness really is! #birdsofbluesky

A baby hummingbird gives the camera some side eye from its nest. The nest is about the size of a golfball.

A baby hummingbird stares at the camera with a puzzled look on its face as if to say, "You're not my momma and my momma will murder you if she finds you here." The nest is about the size of a golfball.

I'm delivering free boops today!

I'm booping Grey, my grey and white cat with green eyes, on his black nose. His look is a mix of intrigue, displeasure, and just happy to be here. Behind him on the floor lies the power cord for my walking pad, a piece of equipment that he routinely steals from me while in use.

The rabbit hole we all needed today.

Google's AI tells me there are two P's in my first and last name, then proceeds to tell me that Pondertart is my actual name, and my last name is now McBpee.

A Phillies loss is still a Phillies game for me, and it had been way too long. This weekend was epic!

A batter is poised to swing at the Philadelphia Phillies vs Colorado Rockies game in full sun with a pretty decent sized crowd watching.

I remain terrible at social media. Here's a cat for your troubles.

Oreo, a black and white cat, screams at you while leaning sideways off a cat tree. It looks as ridiculous as it sounds.

An animation from Radarscope of the Louisville, KY crash on Reflectivity. I was on the other side of the airport just a little over a month ago attending Louder Than Life and the planes were SO close.

The last thing a cat treat sees. #catsofbluesky

A grey and white cat, slightly blurred, is moving quickly towards the camera.

While I like having a streetlight near our house (I think there are two on our whole block?!) it really doesn't help frame the photo when a sunset alert is issued.

A gorgeous sunset with crepuscular rays shooting out in every direction, and a lone streetlight is smack in the middle of the view.

Colorado doing Colorado things. Knew I should have stayed up there over the weekend 🫠

This night's grand finale is kind of over the top. #okwx #wxsky

Everyone should be allowed to work from home from time to time. Here's why. #catsofbluesky

Grey the cat curled up on my beanbag chair against my leg. He is the picture of happiness.

Cooper looks like my Katana, who we said goodbye to at 13. It's never easy, and the hole never fully heals...but they're always with you 💕

Katana the tabby cat, looking utterly unimpressed with my photography skills as she relaxes on the carpet in front of a bookshelf, with her paws tucked in.

Ded. Too much chaos in one night makes Oreo go "zzzz". Wish I could do the same, you nocturnal demon of adorableness. #catsofbluesky

Oreo, a black and white "cow cat" is asleep on the bed with a door shut behind him. That door leads to the bathroom, where he likes to stand at 3am and scream before jumping up on the counter to attack everything. He's very tired after his nocturnal escapades.

Rachel McBee @pondert.art · 20/03/2025

Got so distracted with work that Grey had to come snap me out of it with cuddles. #catsofbluesky

Grey the cat asleep on my lap, which also has a Halloween blanket on it. Don't judge.

Rachel McBee @pondert.art · 13/03/2025

I hate daylight savings time. I don't know why, but that singular hour change messes me up for at least a week. This guy doesn't seem to care though, he's usually sleeping anyway. #catsofbluesky

Grey the cat making air biscuits. It looks like he's waving at the camera and winking while laying on his back on the bed.

Houston Rockets be like, "nah bro I'mma head out." That's how planes talk ahead of severe weather, right?

FlightRadar24 app shows the Houston Rockets' plane taking off from Oklahoma City, headed towards Indianapolis shortly before 11pm Central Time.

Rachel McBee @pondert.art · 02/03/2025

These boys are shocked I came back from the airport early this morning after dropping Chris off. Usually *I'm* the one disappearing for a week!

Oreo, my black and white tuxedo cat with the cutest pink nose, is staring up at me on the light grey bed comforter.

Grey, my similarly patterned tuxedo cat but with grey fur instead of black, has his front half curled up and his back legs extended while on the light grey bed comforter.

We were SO sucked into it! So were our cats 😹 They watched the entire thing, even tried to find the kitty behind the TV whenever it ran out of frame.

Grey and Oreo, my tuxedo cats, staring wide-eyed in the direction of the TV.

Just one more night of dripping the faucets and this guy will finally stop spending most of his day soaking wet. 💦 🐈 #catsofbluesky

Grey the cat looking at the camera in a state of defiance on the living room couch. You can't see that he's soaking wet from playing in the kitchen sink but trust me—he is.

Rainbow cat. 🌈 😺#catsofbluesky

Grey the cat curled up at the bottom of my heated blanket, staring up at me with disdain. He has a little rainbow reflected on his leg from a nearby sun catcher.

Rachel McBee @pondert.art · 20/02/2025

I laughed at him for using the laptop table as a pillow, and then he proceeded to stare at me like this for 5+ minutes. #greythecat #catsofbluesky

Grey the cat staring at me with his eyes squinting in a judgemental way, with his ears pointing back and out slightly in their telltale "airplane ears" pose.

Welcome to WintSprummer, Oklahoma! ☃️☘️🥵 #wxsky

The weather forecast for this week goes as low as 2⁰ F and as high as 70⁰ F.

Apparently Grey has also had a rough week. #catsofbluesky

Grey the cat, lying on the couch but with his head tucked in a way that it looks like someone mushed him into the cushions. We did not, he chose this himself and is purring about it.

A close-up of Grey with his head willingly mushed in the cushions, face down. His ears are the only thing identifying which direction he's truly facing.

I'd credit NFL Memes, but they haven't come over to the Good Place yet.

It's been an interesting night on @flightradar24.com here in OKC. Extremely dense fog is keeping nearly every flight from landing tonight.

Flight from Salt Lake City to Oklahoma City diverting to...Salt Lake City.

Flight from Denver to Oklahoma City finally giving up after being in a holding pattern for quite some time. Doesn't say where it's headed yet, but it's climbing back to cruising altitude.

John Candy meme from the film Vegas Vacation that says: "Sorry folks, OKC's closed. Moose out front should have told you."

"You shouldn't let your cats in the bedroom at night." Okay, you tell them 😻😻

Grey and Oreo, two tuxedo cats, passed out on the bed, and also on me.

Rachel McBee @pondert.art · 07/02/2025

Y'all seem stressed tonight. Here's a cat.

Grey the cat resting on the floor after running on the cat wheel... Which is exactly what it sounds like, a giant hamster wheel for cats.

These two were transfixed by the entire movie Flow. #catsofbluesky

No matter how bad it gets out there, I promise that you will always be able to count on me for cat pics.

Grey the cat in my suitcase among my clothes, pretending he's supposed to be there.

Happy holidays, from Oreo...on a Halloween blanket.

Black and white cat asleep on a fleece blanket with jack-o-lanterns on a purple background. The blanket is truly hideous, and we both love it.

Rachel McBee @pondert.art · 06/12/2024

At this point, I will follow no one else. You shouldn't follow me either. I have achieved palindromic perfection. Don't ruin this for me. ;)

I nearly forgot about #TornadoTuesday! One of my favorites from April 23, 2021 in north Texas. Believe it or not, I intentionally took every photo and video that day with my Samsung phone. It's all I've used ever since!

A tornado in the distance churning up red dirt. There is a road leading away from the point of view of the photographer, with bright green farmland on either side.

Revisiting Leoti, KS on May 21, 2016 for this #SupercellSunday. We had to be at an event in Denver at 7am the next day. It was still worth it!

Oh, it's #TornadoTuesday? Here's an oldie but a goodie. Wray, Colorado in 2016. The second of two tornadoes that day and the closest I'd been to one at the time.

A tornado, mostly visible at the cloud base and only visible beneath due to debris being churned up in a green field. Grey clouds are boiling above it, with blue sky beyond the storm.

The sky wasn't particularly exciting during today's weather event(s), so here's the #aurora from Estes Park, Colorado last month.

The Aurora, visible in the sky over cabins in Colorado. Shades of pink and purple.

Seeing an opening band tonight that's...a little unpolished. I keep playing this gif to their songs and everyone around me is wondering why I'm laugh-crying.

Cats running around in a chaotic whirl in a cat room, knocking over furniture and just wreaking havoc in general.

Oooh, wait! Did someone say Supercell Saturday? ✔️ Done!

There's a lot going on, and I'm turning my brain off for all of it. Here's a cat.
