House rule #1: Big cats outside, small cats inside. 🐾 Elk herd back means the cats come down to hunt... and maybe the wolves, too.
A woman's left hand with a silver ring and small blue stone are held over an animal's snow-print. The paw-print is larger than the woman's whole palm and well-rounded, almost circular, with a small divet at the bottom of the paw.

I'm ready for some snow! It's the inversion layers that kill me these few months, not really even the darkness. I wasn't the only one around here who was happy for a couple hours of sun the other day...☀️

Awww black fluffy belly parade 🖤 I miss my big boy so much, but he had a good long life and lived to almost 18. Gone more than 4 years now, but his fuzzy belly is still a happy warm memory. 🥰

Made and then frogged a whole hat, because it was too small 😯 oops! But bulky yarn is nice like that. And now I know at least just a tiny bit how to do colorwork!
A green and beige knitted object still on a circular needle. A diamond fair isle pattern is on the knitted object - it is knitted of a semi-bulky yarn.

Time for another game of "this is also my cat..." 😂 Happy Halloween to all of these beautiful, black, doppelgänger floof cats out there! 🖤
A large longhair black cat with yellow-green eyes sits with paws crossed on a beige blanket. Grey and white flowered pillows are on the bed behind. This cat looks exactly like several other cats posted in the thread.

She might be old but boy, she catches on fast...one single morning with a sunny blanket lap and now as soon as the sun hit the chair, she summoned me! 😽
A sleek black cat gets her chin scratched by her human. She has her eyes closed and a blissful expression on her face. She is sitting in the human's lap on a turquoise patterned fuzzy blanket in a bright patch of sun. The small black cat rests her head on the human's hand peacefully, sleeping on the person's lap in a bright patch of sun on a fuzzy turquoise patterned blanket. The cat's fur is glossy and slightly punked up in clumps, a sign of age or slightly greasy fur from sitting in warm sunspots all day.

I present: the world's tiniest calamansi! 🙌💚
A tiny green citrus half sits face up on a wooden cutting board, next to a knife. A person's hand is next to the citrus, showing the fruit to be the size of the tip of the person's index finger tip. The fruit flesh is juicy and has 3 tiny seeds and a thin rind.

Well, crap. No surprise but this is a pretty dire picture right here...
A box-infographic shows "none of the 45 global climate indicators are on track" - they are all either trending the wrong direction (5) off track (6) have not enough information (5) or are well off track (all remaining indicators) Showing the majority of the boxes in an alarming orange. Deforestation and wind and solar are the orange "well off track" colour, steel decarbonization is highlighted as "wrong direction" (magenta) and private climate finance is a part of the yellow "off track" group, having $1.3 trillion dollars by 2024 of the $3.1 trillion target by 2030.

Beautiful 🙌 Yankees suck. (Photo from the one time I have seen blue jays west of the Canadian Rockies.)

Who is this friend, and where should I re-host him/her? (Inside or outside the house both options.) ❤️🇨🇦🕷️ We have plenty of food to share for the winter.

Have some Monday flowers 💐
A small glass milk bottle on a black granite countertop holds a wild and unruly bunch of purple and fuschia wildflowers - cosmos and red flax. It is haphazard and asymmetrical - larger flowers standing higher on the right than the smaller flowers and unopened buds on the left, with feathery green foliage at the base. In the background is blurred wide-plank flooring and a long, golden light indicative of an autumn afternoon.

So very excited to come home to this little beauty 😍 Brought a nepenthes home to give this ping-hybrid some tropical-company this winter while all its temperate buddies go hibernate. 😴 (Pinguicula ehlersiae x ?)
A singular bright-pink/purple flower with an unusual orchid or violet-type shape - two petals on top and three on bottom with the center-bottom a heart-shaped edge - with a white centre. The flower stalk stands upright out of a light green cluster of succulent-like leaves, that are speckled with small gnats stuck to them. A plant tag in the black pot is out of focus but reads "Pinguicula ehlersiae"

Some days you just want to hole up like this. 💙 Take care if this is one of those days for you, for whatever reason.
A small, sleek black cat wearing a heathered blue sweater with a ribbed bottom edge snoozes in the sun, her face tucked against the edge of a faux-shearling donut bed. In the background out of focus is turquoise drapery and a small plant about 20 cm high with at least two stems of greenery with plump leaves.

Summer's lease hath all too short a date 🍅 First fully ripe tomato, but not sure how many more of these will ripen on the vine... ⏳

Puff pastry hack: use a tortilla press to flatten the butter 😂 Caramelized onion, courgette and chèvre friand (galette?) Not sure what to call it other than tasty. 😋 (yes 100% gluten free, made with GF sourdough, no yeast required.)
A tortilla press with parchment paper and a yellow flattened log of butter between the pieces of parchment An unbaked round, rough pastry with courgette slices and caramelized onions on a piece of parchment paper A half of a baked, brown pizza-like tarte sits on a wire grid next to a metal spatula that says "latkes". The baked good has a thick, golden brown edge and deep brown caramelized onions with courgette slices in the center.

Dammit Canada! 🇨🇦 🍎 Can you please get the units consistent?! Canning book recipes: 3 oz (88.5 mL.) Canning pectin supplies sold, 85 mL. Putain \o/ 😅... close enough, I guess!

I love the tiny novel life you discover in a garden 🥰 The crab spider and its meal came inside accidentally when I picked one of the golden Rembrandt dahlias, so I put it back outside (snapped a picture on the mullein before moving it back to its preferred flowers.)
A small light yellow and black striped crab spider grips a yellow and black striped native bee that is five times its size. The bee's wings iridescence and veins are visible in the bright sunlight. They are perched on a small, fuzzy closed green bud of a large flower spire. Some of the flowers are open, but faded or detached from the base of the stalk and are a medium yellow of a fading mullein plant going to seed. A large dahlia flower with light yellow petals outside and peach center, with rain or dewdrops on its lower petals. A second similar bloom is in the background, slightly out of focus.

Read the alt-text.
A hazy sunset view along a ragged seaside cliff. The sea is a calm shade of deep slate blue at left, the land and hills extend from lower left to upper right, is a deep brown, the shade of a late summer ochre shadow. The sun is still a finger over the horizon but sits on top a deep purple marine layer of August fog, a glowing ball of life with a vermillion hammock just beneath it as it sinks into the late summer sky. A quiet warm, sense "you made it!" Seeps in to your cheeks, down your shoulders, and floods your chest, as you drink the last rays.

TIL about a new native pollinator I have never seen before in the garden - the Great Golden Digger Wasp (Sphex ichneumoneus)! 🤩 Although they look pretty terrifying and they're a good 1.5-2 cm long, they're solitary pollinator wasps that prey on grasshoppers and other insects. Super neat to meet. 🥰

Tomatoes just take a while in Canada...so excited for these black krims again! 🍅 😋
A hand gently holding up a large, irregular shaped tomato, still green and on the vine, in a wooden growing enclosure. The shoulders of the tomato are dark green, and the tomato is the size of the person's hand.

A reminder to the pet Kahu out there - trust your gut! If you think something's up with your furry dear one, you're probably right. (Missing the box >> sign of a UTI, go see the vet.) And always take your antibiotics with food. 😄🥰
