Predictable...

Sunday afternoon slumber party. #catpic #catsofbluesky 🐱

Pole beans, shell beans, spring onions, beets and Lemon Verbena ( drying for tea)...all in a good morning's harvest! 🌱

Pepper in all her cuteness on a Caturday night. πŸ’• 🐱 #catpic #catsofbluesky

Cowboy's Caturday morning snoozefest is going well. #catpic #catsofbluesky 🐱

Buddy sees action in the front yard! #catsofbluesky #catpics 🐱

My meditation time in the garden: Hand-picking 100 chamomile flowers to dry for tea… 🌱

Caturday: "Mom, I see a delicious bird out there!" "Sorry Cowboy... the only birds we eat in this house are chicken and turkey!" πŸ‘πŸ“πŸ¦ƒ πŸš«πŸ¦œπŸ¦…πŸ¦€πŸ¦©πŸ¦β€β¬›πŸ¦š

I made a bee and butterfly drinking station! 🌱

This cactus sat on my maternal grandmother's back porch from the late 80's until her passing in 2007. Then my mom cared for it until her own passing in 2023. Now it is mine and today I said to them both, " Look! Our cactus is blooming right on schedule." That brought a tear and also a smile! ❀️ 🌱

Just figured out how my scarves keep ending up on the closet floor. Oh, Buddy! πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ #catpic #catsofbluesky

My late brother was friends with the artist, Sascha Brastoff who passed in 1993. My brother received some of his ceramic art and also some big balls of these Tillandsia bergeri. The art has since been sold or donated but I still have the tillandsias which have been multiplying now for 32 years! 🌱

Pepper appreciates the patio furniture as a prime location from which to conduct surveillance in the back yard. 🐱 #catpic #catsofbluesky

My country is a nightmare but I just saw a bumblebee flying in my garden and for this present moment anyway, I feel pretty ok. 🐝🌱

Green-eyed charmer, my Cowboy. 🐱 #catpic #catsofbluesky

The Fuerte Avocado tree I planted last Spring had just ONE fruit on it. But what a perfect, giant DELICIOUS fruit it was! My tree is coved in blooms now. Hoping for LOTS more delicious avocados next year. 🌱πŸ₯‘

Cat-laxin' in the garden this afternoon. #catpics #catsofbluesky 🐱

Chamomile tea time? 🌱🌼

Oh to be a carefree little bird snug in my house hanging in the Cilantro bower! 🌱πŸͺΊ

Such a cute little Spring vignette in the restaurant we lunched in today! πŸ‡πŸŒΈ

Baby artichoke being born. 🌱

Sweet little Mac ('ncheese) napping outside in the shade on a Spring afternoon. #catpics #catsofbluesky

Sometimes the most you can manage in the kitchen is a fancied-up frozen Cheese Pizza from Trader Joe's. Turned out super delicious though! (The bottle of wine on the side helped!)

The bees 🐝 L❀️VE this Borage! 🌱

Pretty Cilantro blooms. 🌱

Cowboy being a little judgemental about the weeds in the greenhouse. #catpics 🐱

Was going to clean up the garden for Spring planting today but there are so many bees and other pollinators on the bolted Broccoli, Cauliflower and Arugula and on the volunteer Borage that I just couldn't spoil the fun. They take care of me and so I am returning the favor. SoCal Zone 10B 🌱 🐝πŸͺ²β€οΈ

Standing with Ukraine! 🌱

4 varieties of Cabbage grown from seed queing up for harvest. 🌱
