I'm a fine artist who paints, draws
and gardens on our rural acre
on the north coast of California
in Redwood Country.
We have two rough collies
Hailey and Peregrin
and felines Michiko and Percy.
My favorite travel destination is Mongolia.
Hailey our 11 yr. old tricolor rough collie. She has a very sly sense of humor and will do things like this just get you to look at her. I call it "Drapery Collie". lol

Percy is fearless...

6.0 earthquake just a few minutes ago. No damage at our place but the epicenter is right on the coast.

Adventure Cat is closer than he realizes to a *real* adventure. Nah, I snatched him up right after I took this photo of Percy when he was a kitten.

Why yes, I'm quite comfortable. Why do you ask?

So here's the whole set-up. We're still just getting wind, but there's been a bit of rain. The "bomb cyclone" is what's coming next starting around 7pm and it will go through the night. That's it in the radar map. We're at the blue dot.

So this is what's happening right now here in Humboldt County, CA. High winds and heavy rain on the way courtesy of what's known as a "bomb cyclone" that is currently scheduled to hit the coast around 7:30. 
Guessing it's 50/50 if the power goes out between some hours from now and tomorrow morning.

The warden was a hardass but easily bribed with tuna. Photo from my collection, no date/info.

My "foster fail" Percy finds really interesting ways to sleep. Like draped over the back of the couch.
Follow me to keep up with my grey tabby boy.

And here he is napping...

So this is the newest kid on the block, Percy my "foster fail" back when he was still a little guy. I fostered his mom and four siblings for a couple of months last December.
And yes, he's really smart. Also gets along great with the collies. Often comes when I call him.

Have you ever wanted to get a sketchbook & some pens & pencils & sketch? It's fun & it's not about making a perfect, pretty picture. It's about observing and recording what you see however you wish. I'm setting up now on Substack. Tutorials coming. Let me know if you want updates.

Back in December when Percy was just a little guy about 5 months old. And fearless even then. He's with Peregrin our six year old sable merle rough collie.

I also sell vintage dip pens.

Half a million people in London right now. Jewish activists in New York last night. Polls in both countries overwhelmingly support a ceasefire in Gaza. Cannot imagine this level of support even five years ago. Whatever happens, the Palestinians are no longer alone.
