“Tell us a bit about yourself” Yeah, I’m spectacularly shit at that. I like cats and British crime shows and knitting and ghost stories and also GO DUCKS 🏈 No follow farmers, don’t bother asking. If I like you, I’ll follow.

I also had a playdate last night. My neighbor’s young chicken jumped the fence and hung out with my girls. I think she may have broken the broody out of my two hens. She insisted on snuggling and they didn’t know what to do. This AM they are off the nests even though we gave the baby back last night

Black and white security camera image inside a chicken coop. There are two roosting bars, one is totally empty, there are five chickens on the other. The young chicken in question (who is nearly grown) has snuggled underneath another hen, who looks very confused at the turn of events. Not pictured but happened later: the young one tried to fully crawl under her and knocked her off the roost, at which point mama was done with the snuggles. Then young chicken tried it with the next hen on the roost, who seemed to be more tolerant. At this point our neighbors got home and we grabbed her to put her back in her own coop.

I don’t have a picture of the project, but here is the pattern under my cat. Projects that require zero cats…

This old man just turned 15 this month. Last week I found a suspicious lump on his face/neck. Incredibly grateful that it turned out to be a benign cyst. Never had a cat live beyond 15 and he’s already living with reduced kidney function so I will love the shit out of him a little while longer

Shhhhh@doress· Mar 18

@clairewillett.bsky.social if you would like to see the program

The cover of the program for the importance of being earnest. It’s hot pink with white type

Inside cover of the program, some of the main cast is on it in costume. Ncuti does not seem to be wearing much in the way of trousers

Cast list, so sorry but I’m not typing all this up. Highlights are Ncuti Gatwa as algernon and Sharon d Clarke as lady bracknell

It’s her self-defense mechanism. She chooses violence at almost every turn. And then wants snuggles

About to start the tassel on my first, to send to family in MN. I happened to have a red hat double brim in 1x1 rib already on my needles so very easy to pivot and extra warm on the ears. You betcha I have my next ready to go

Katsu does that. He nibbles until he decides he is sufficiently pet for the moment.

A text exchange between me, on the other side of the country, and my parents, who went for a drive under a flood warning:

Today 1:31PM
Me: Saw your picture. Tell me when you get home safely please so I know you haven't been washed away
Me: Oh I see you are going up to the overlook
Mom: It's closed. Gated. We are virtually home now.
Me: They probably don't want knuckleheads driving up there while under a flood warning

Chickens are simultaneously smarter and dumber than you give them credit for. Everything wants to eat them. But they’re great 😊

That’s my cat who shits next to the box every damn day. She’s lucky she’s cute.

Up until a couple of years ago, this was the post-dinner activity for us. My aunt and uncle have since retired from draft horses but this was so much fun. Of course it was less fun when it was -20. Yay MN winters! We’d pull kids on sleds and adults on skis behind the sleigh if they wanted a go.
