Rattlesnakes R a fairly common sight in our yard, so know ur „enemy“ is imperative 4 us. They belong in the pit viper family & while our neighbors just kills them coz they R😱 we opt 2 provide habitat where we can-preferably away from where we walk 😉

Apparently my new side hustle is using my super basic knowledge of iPhone photo editing to make Halloween costumes for the cats I’ve formed parasocial relationships with on this app 😸

Here is @itsflanoy.bsky.social as a stegosaurus

An orange cat leaning up to a windowsill to look out but the picture has been edited (badly) to look like he’s wearing a green stegosaurus costume with reddish-brown spikes.

a coyote comes visit (& possibly hunting a bunny) every night but last night he was limping 🙁😬we hope it‘s a minor issue & he‘ll be fine soon. Put some meat snacks out for him, instead of just fruit 🥹

Do U know what
„widening of the equator“ means? @travelingmcpherson.bsky.social explains weather & climate better than we ever came across. Easy 2 follow & digest in yet an articulate way but not in the often discouraging insider language 🫶 hope u love learning too

back when we had the wee lil owlets hatch - barely 6 weeks ago & it was so hot, every day we feared the heat kills the babies but Alma somehow managed to keep them alive❣️
Watch them grow up on our YT channel 🫶🤟
