I like bees and flowers and bees on flowers and cats and gardens and cats in gardens, and books, and cats in books, and bookstores, and cats in bookstores. And democracy, I like that a lot. No DM's

If I had a million dollars I would sink it all into a bookstore with resident cats. And just hang out for the rest of my life. #Books #Cats #Dreams

Dealing with a power outage on this #Caturday. Doesn't seem to affect the cats. One found a sun pool and the other is supervising what I'm doing to occupy my time. #Cats #IHaveTriedToTurnOnMusic #AndHeat #AndTheTeaKettle #AndAboutAMillionLightSwitches #🙄 #🙃

He loves his wild domain, except when the landscapers are anywhere within earshot. #Cats #CatsInGardens #ScardyCats #🤫 #Don'tTellHimISaidThat #HeThinksHeIsABraveGardenSentry

Sunday territory conquest underway. It is suddenly chilly here, I think she is checking out options for Fall/Winter accomadations. #Cats #HouseHunting #Haven'tTurnedOnHeatYet #TheNonPayingSquattersHaveAnOpinion #ItIsNotFavorable

Sunday vibe. Always a strong opinion in this house, "Just let me take a break from all the data input for a minute!!!" Meanwhile, TV is off, no radio, alone in the house except for the cats, no magazines or newspapers delivered. #It'sAllInMyHead #SensoryDeprevationCoach #CatsAlwaysKnowBest

I recommend Automatic Noodle. I hope in the near future to have an opinion on Xi'an Famous Foods noodles.

Made it to Xi'an Famous Foods in New York, where my novella Automatic Noodle began as a taste and texture inspiration

I am ready to go to sleep and there's not a cat to be found. Two cats live with us, usually at least one is in my room when I am ready to go to sleep. It is a concerning dereliction of duty and very clear evidence I need another cat to come live with us. #Cats

So, there's a new Walmart ad, a "boy band" singing acapella, music video setting. With me being the age I am, I don't know if they are an actual band or just a simulation for the commercial. It's a slow Sunday, these things get more attention then they probably deserve. 🤭 #GenerationalDisconnect🤣🤣

He gets breakfast every morning from a treat dispenser. I call it his morning mouse, cause the treat dispenser is shaped like a mouse, get it? His morning mouse🤣 (yes, some say that I am both an idiot and slightly obsessed with this cat)(wrong, I am a lot obsessed with this cat) #CatsOfBluesky

I found the perfect Fall bedding combo. Flannel top sheet, regular bottom sheet. It doesn't stop the 2am insomnia-anxiety spiral, but I am so cozy during it. #Insomnia #LookingForOneOfTheCatsToComeSleepOnTheBed #WalkingAroundTheHouseDoesNotHelpInsomnia #NeitherDoesThis

I always say I don't really do indoor plants. I'm beginning to think I lie. This is only because circumstances preclude me from inviting another cat to come live with us #CatsOfBluesky #PlantsOfBluesky #InAndOutGardening

Is there any creature better than cats at claiming territory? This was area I was arranging to have space to possibly overwinter some outside plants that aren't in my zone. The table is a new addition to this space, so of course the tuxedo has homesteaded the choice bit. #CatsOfBluesky #Squatters

It's early, but Fall calls for comfort food. Don't think your color needs adjusting. I put in a purple yam, lol, a little surprise effect for the season that I didn't expect.

Fall is here. Dark by 7:00. But slip out just before sunset and the garden doesn't want to give up summer anymore than we do and still has a show to put on. #Gardens

I read: Whistler by Ann Patchett this week. I watched: A Quiet Place: Day One this week #BlueskyBooks #BlueskyMovies *I read other books and watched other stuff, but mostly I only share when I have connected with the art in some positive way.

You would think they would get along better, they are both such weirdos. #Cats #It'sASlowRainySunday #EveryoneIsBored #AtLeastI'mDoingFoodPrep #TheySayItDoes'ntCountCauseIt'sNotTheirFood #🙄 #Cats

You ever get up from the comfy spot on the couch for a second cup of really good coffee and when you get back... yup that's what living with cats is like if anyone needs to know #CatsOfBluesky #Caturday #IWasGoneAMinute #YouCan'tHaveFallenAsleepThatQuick

All the Bumblebees in my garden: 🎶"I always feel like somebody’s watchin’ me And I have no privacy Oh, oh, oh, I always feel like somebody’s watchin’ me"🎶 #Bees #Gardens

I asked her if she had washed her face today. I said I didn't think so because her nose was dirty. She immediately did this. I'm dying😂😂😂 #CatsOfBluesky #Cats

Listening to the news when I noticed the cat. Have to say I've never respected her opinion more. #Cats #LivingInStupidDangerousTimes #BecauseOfStupidDangerousPeople

Don't let the innocent face fool you- 3 hours past curfew and she thinks she's getting treats for finally coming when she was called. #CatsOfBluesky #WorriedHalfToDeath #Yes #OfCourse #DoYouEvenHaveToAsk? #LookAtThatFace

#SixOnSaturday Playing catch-up in my garden from a summer that had too many outside distractions. But they were all there waiting for me. #What'sImportant ToYou #BeUnruly #GrowWild
