“The breeze and the dawn will flourish again when you return, as id beneath your step. Between the flowers and sills the cats will know. There will be other days, there will be other voices.” ~ Cesare Pavese #catinthewindow #catsleeping #catnapping #windowsillcat #sleepykitty #caturday https://ift.tt/2UbC6Fg

Sometimes, amidst the chaos, in a house full of wild animals.. you encounter a moment like this. ❤️ And then they move and blur the picture. 😂 #family #catsanddogs #lifewithpets #dogcatlove https://ift.tt/2TEtJBT

“If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden.” - Frances Hodgson Burnett 🌸🍀🌿 . This work-in-progress of The Secret Garden was originally going to be my 2020 calendar cover, but it might now become my 2021 cover. ❤️ . . P.S.

Merlin has now decided he would prefer to nap on the nightstand, and has knocked everything onto the floor to make extra room for himself..... #lifewithcats https://ift.tt/2OBwSj4

Keyboards attract cat butts. They just can’t help themselves. We have lost several keyboards this way. 🧐 https://ift.tt/34IrxMs

My art haul from @howardsart #howardsartsandframes .... I normally use Liquitex soft body paints, but I’ve heard so many positive things about Golden, so I will be testing them out next! The markers, pencils, and tortillons are for my artist daughter @wouldiwasshookspeared_ . 😊 #goldenpaints #prismacolor #artsupplies #artistsofinstagram #earlychristmas https://ift.tt/2NdwaXr

Bringing my “weeds” indoors. I need to cut taller coneflowers, to fill in the center, but chopping down my prettiest blooms has always been a struggle. I prefer to let them be... outside, where they can benefit all the critters. #wildflowerbouquet https://ift.tt/2KF5KNb
