I want cows. This kind of cow.🤗

Two miniature Scottish Highland cows, one adult, looking over the back of the calf which is standing sideways to the camera. They are in a large field, with scattered wildflowers, under a sky with either receding or approaching heavy cloud cover.

Mom added the Great Books, and I thought they were all required reading. Turns out she thought the Great Books really were. And they are great!

My Lucy lived in the country, with lots of acres to run, and she covered them all every day! She didn’t quit eating like a puppy until she was nearly ten. I got every bit as much joy out of her running as she did. For the first time in over 50 years, my sister has dogs (rescues) that aren’t Danes.

Very large, mixed breed dogs waiting patiently by the front door for the human to let them out.

Perhaps she needs a calming influence. Danes make great pets, they really lean into it!

We were twins, born 2 1/2 years apart. You were a part of my soul, I was a part of your heart. And lord I miss you so. I hope you don’t know! I feel you out there, your spirit flowing unbound and free. So, wherever you are, please, save a place for me! Happy birthday, to my beloved brother Sid.🪽

It’s also helpful to have your own head on right.

Putz rescued me AND my husband!

It’s a gloomy day, but there is much happiness in my house. I have received ‘Tiny Moments of Joy’ and ‘OverLondon’, so @georgepenney.bsky.social has just made my weekend!

Bugs would like to offer you a get well hug.

On a cloudy #Caturday, Jag is just going to curl up with a good book.

You have just given one of our dogs a new nickname.😂 My daughter can’t sit down alone!

Anticipation!

Three rosebuds, one just on the edge of unfurling caught in a shaft of sunlight. Another is just touched by the sun, beginning to turn from green to pink. The third, fully formed but still fully green, is totally shaded. The leaves surrounding them are a combination of shadowy green/gray, and vibrant sunlit shiny green with reflected highlights.

The grey and white on the right moved in to our garage a few weeks ago. I guess she decided to color her hair, because she sure looked different this morning when I went to fill her food and water bowls. Still beautiful, but what a difference!👀🤣

When it’s dreary outside and you’ve vanquished every enemy (real or imagined!), it’s time for a nap. Happy Valentine’s on this #Caturday!
