It’s #caturday and Debbie is adorably in my spot. I guess I will need to find another seat.

A man in an orange jacket holds out his hand. A tiny chickadee perches on his fingers, considering which sunflower seed to eat

My buddy took me to Wisconsin and it was preposterously awesome. A chickadee ate from my freaking hand! It was so tiny, it had no weight, I could only feel its tiny talons

We believe these handsome rabbits might be siblings. They have similar ginger fur & aquiline noses

Happy #caturday! Here is Harry intensely staring at his bunny pal while his bunny pal stares intensely at Harry.

An orange cat poses predatorily about two feet from an adorable small rabbit. They are making eye contact, separated by only a glass door

This sweet summer child of a rabbit seems to want to be friends with the cats

It’s #caturday and Debbie is demurely crossing her ridiculously tiny paws.

My new #crochet project is really bringing out Harry’s eyes. Happy #caturday!

Now that we can post our own gifs, here’s our new Minnesota Pride flag 🎉

Happy #caturday from Debbie and Harry

I received a trail camera for my birthday from my husband @chudgar.com. We have a raccoon in the yard. They eat my corn but you can’t deny they are photogenic 😀

It’s #caturday and Debbie and Harry are VERY interested in the tiny bunny on the front walk.

Update: a 10-year-old is singing “Africa” by Toto (1982)

It has been a heavy week. But, I still have a backyard. My next door neighbor Daisy is having a 10th karaoke birthday party. You have not lived until you hear a 10 year old singing Toto’s Africa with full commitment

A little bunch of things from the late summer garden. My mom passed away this weekend and she was a very keen gardener. I like how she quietly instilled her love of plants with me. Between you and me, it was the only thing she did quietly. 😀

A sparrow perches on an orange umbrella in such a way that you can see just the shadow of the bird’s feet on the edge and a little gray tail sticking down

If you’re into sparrow feet have I got a photo for you

Debbie loves her little Kong yarn ball. Things can get a little rowdy if Harry gets involved so it is a “supervised” toy 😄 Happy #caturday

A tiny hummingbird bird resting on a big ol wire. He’s a regular to the yard.

It’s #caturday! Don’t know anything about this very handsome black cat. They visit in the evenings and sometimes Debbie and Harry chatters with them. I’m a sucker for a black cat ❤️

Poor wet woollybear 😢

The garden is maturing nicely. This is our tiny pond just begging for a frog to move in.

Debbie admiring a sunset this week. Happy #caterday 

Debbie isn’t much of a cuddler but Harry is. He very subtly keeps a foot on Debbie for snoozing. Happy #caturday!

Not sure what Harry is up to here. Practicing sitting up? Happy #caturday!

I know #gardeners and #bunnies are supposed to be enemies but come on. A very tiny bunny eating peas. What is not to love?
