Apparently rams are also kitties.๐Ÿคฃ

The many sleeps of BumbleTus. This adorable jumble of legs and beans could be taking over your lap if you apply to adopt him and his pals over at crits4cats.petfinder.com

I have a #FridayFinish - keep strong ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ My mum didn't get it, but that's ok. My #Art, and it's going to be a daily reminder to stay strong. #ArtShare #FishyFeb #FebruARTy #CrossStitch #StitchSky #CraftiVerse

I'm brand new to Bluesky, still learning how it all works. I'm a fiber artist, usually working with upcycled fabric scraps. I've been stitching my feelings lately, and this is my latest embroidery project - Sunbonnet Sue, Days of Rage collection. It's inspired by the 1930's Sunbonnet Sue designs.

This is Zero. She's the world's first herding dog with a work-from-home gig. 14/10

Hey, we made a starter pack! Here are all the sheep farms we've found here so far, follow them to learn where your wool comes from - and for cute lamb photos! go.bsky.app/HbnDqAP We'll keep adding accounts, so if we've missed anyone please let us know. ๐Ÿงถ #yarnfarming #knitsky #knitting #wool

Wintery mix since 7pm last night. Now v cold rain. Turning to snow 4pm. Plys severe wind warning 4pm today til 7pm tmrw night, expecting trees power lines down etc. Sigh.

A reprieve from the chaos in Washington. Nothing is cuter than baby Jacob sheep learning to hop!

I feel sorry for the resident pied oystercatcher at Bald Hill Beach. He has lost his long-term mate ๐Ÿ™ I took photos of them together in October. Now, she's gone and he seems lonely. They tried for years to breed but weren't successful. Perhaps he'll find a new lady friend.

Keep posting the lambie photos and videos! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ๐Ÿ˜

TFW: You need the tractor in order to feed the sheep, but one of them has apparently pulled the key out of the ignition and lost it somewhere in the barn. (We had to bust out the metal detector. ๐Ÿ™„) #farmsky ๐Ÿงถ

A 600-year-old medieval hat from Lappvattnet. The hat, which is made of felted sheepโ€™s wool, was preserved in a bog. Now housed at the Vรคsterbottens Museum in Sweden.

Bluesky is so nice in the morning before America comes online for its continuing nervous breakdown

If you feel like giving up, Just get a puppy on your lap

Keep posting lamb photos and vids, everyone. Pleeeaaaassee

Your photographs are exquisite! Wait, you have Navajo Churro (too)?

the wonderful thing about cats is no person will ever get to the end of their life and think "I wish I had spent LESS time letting a soft warm purring thing sleep in my lap."

A perfect spot to catch some early morning rays

Thatโ€™s not even her lamb sheโ€™s walking around with ๐Ÿ˜†

๐Ÿฅถ Brrrrrโ€ฆ itโ€™s shear-iously cold out here! Luckily, we're a hardy bunch ๐Ÿ’š ๐Ÿ’—Hope ewe all have a lovely weekend, BlueSkyers.. #WoollyWarriors #Febeweary #Coniston #LakeDistrict #Cumbria

May need to block the posts of snowdrops. Currently 15, feels like 8 (F). Will be above freezing one day this week. Don't ask me abt the nighttime lows. Not aided by US politics.

No ifs or butts, letโ€™s do Monday! ๐Ÿ’š #ewegotthis ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿฝ

Premature lamb has found a friend โ€ฆ

Who's excited for this year's little lambs? ๐Ÿ–ค This cheeky chap (and his proud Mum Bea) was the first #Herdwick lamb sent to us last year ๐Ÿฅฐ Will the lambs of 2025 be as cute as little Charlie! #Lamb #Herdy #Cute #Lambing

The weather is bitter cold in upstate New York - and the wind chill made it even worse. But farm workers are out there pruning apple trees. When workers got to the fields it was 12ยฐ and the high didnโ€™t get past 18ยฐ on the day this pic was sent in. #WeFeedYou

This gives me hope. I can choose to be mired in this bog, or I can dance.

Good Morning to ewe! It's #WoollyWednesday ๐Ÿ’š

Winter sure is popular :3 We have so many other kittens right now & stories going on but I just havenโ€™t gotten any good photos lately to make posts about them. The Sweet Treats, JJ, BumbleTus, Pikachu & Eevee, Turnip, Ash & Willow are all still looking for their people, & we have new faces to meet.

For Blue Monday we can't think of anything more appropriate than this charming depiction of a man getting his face eaten off by a leopard. #MosaicMonday

Me, when reading emails from uni admin

[Looks at weather forecast.] Sigh. I should have been keeping track of how many days we've had above freezing and/or with sun since Thanksgiving. Or maybe not.
