I like bees and flowers and bees on flowers and cats and gardens and cats in gardens, and books. And democracy, I like that a lot.

Four photo in a collage. One photo is chicken and tomatoes roasting in an oven, they have bbq sauce on them. One photo is of a black and white cat curled up sleeping on a blanket, she is snoring as she is wont to do, one photo is of a slow braising pork butt, so yum, and one photo is a tuxedo cat jumping down from a cat tree in front of a window through which you can just see a snowy landscape, we got 6" of snow.

We were out tonight, she must have missed us, this is an unusual thing for her to do. I was going to bed but I guess I stay up for awhile.

Norwegian spruce version of fake tree, the branches have short needles and are spaced further apart than other Christmas trees. There is a cat behind the tree, stretching up and testing the climbability of this set up. Thankfully she did not go up it

"If I lived without any other humans, I would invite so many cats to come live with me."

Just a random Friday before #Caturday thought.

In case you don't notice the building is gone, read the sign.
Construction sight with large demolition equipment and no buildings displays a sign that reads "Taco Bell Closed During Construction".

#Hedgewatch from a warm distance.
Tuxedo cat sitting on throw covered chair looking off to the backyard through glass doors. He went out earlier but came back pretty quick, with all his fur puffy, in an "it's cold out there way", not an anxious way.

It's where she waits to be let out to #hedgewatch. Sunrise keeps getting later, she just waits, but she has a funny little sound she makes, a little nasaly grumble that I think is directed at the delay of door opening services.😻
Black and white cat looking through a glass door in the very early morning, she is only partially seen through the slats of a closed door blind.

So we didn't have a pumpkin pie yesterday. So did we even have Thanksgiving, or do we have to do over?

Thanksgiving in my area should not be seeing these blooms. But mixed with turning leaves and dried blooms from early spring, they sure are pretty.

Mixed bouquet of blooms from my garden, snap dragons, delphinium, dill, arranged with branches of fall turning leaves and dried allium.

Roasting up the last of my midnight snack cherry tomatoes to make into sauce. I pulled the plant and buried some overripe tomatoes to hopefully have plants next year, it's actually how I have gotten the plants for the last 3 seasons.

Early morning detente at the Southern border.
#Cats
Black and white cat curled up on the upper basket of a cat tree while a tuxedo cat is sitting in the lower basket gazing out the window. This ability to share territory is new. She is an ex-street cat who sees every interaction as a possible danger and has acted accordingly. He is slowly learning to stand firm, and I hope it is leading to a mutual respect relationship.

"The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek." The cat, it holds the cat.
A tuxedo cat laying in an expanse of white and pink that looks like a cave.
