We all know that Shaun is the best cuddler in the house. Cub has crashed out in his arms. I love how he is with all of our creatures. It's so precious. 💗💗💗

Our oldest kitten, Sindar.

Our oldest kitten, Sindar. Actually, Shaun has been together with her longer than he has me. She's a precious old girl. 

We recently discovered that she's at least partially blind. She's going to the vet for a check-up soon; we don't know when the vision problem started or what caused it. But she seems otherwise okay, thank goodness. She gets around pretty well; she lives in our bedroom with Adrian (the smallest cat) and Ember (the scaredy cat), so there's not too much commotion. She is still eating, drinking, and using the litter box, so those are all good things.  And I work up there every day, so I'm able to keep an eye on her.

I wouldn't have known anything was going on with her, but Shaun saw her run into a wall the other night. After thinking back on it, she definitely makes me step over / around her lately, and when I give her treats she doesn't follow my hand anymore. I always have to "show" them to her nose.

Anyway, I snapped this pic of her napping earlier today. She had precious little huggy paws. It made my heart feel melty. ❤️

Having a tea on this chilly day.

Having a tea on this chilly day. I think this is my first caffeine in over a month. I miss the ritual and warmth, though, and I'm slow to start today - so tea it is!

This is a coconut black tea with foamy milk. Yum.

We're having a little haboob today.

We're having a little haboob today. It's so dusty you can't even see the mountains. I'll take it over a tornado any day, though.

One thing New Mexico has is wind. 💨🍃

The beginning of befriending a murder of crows.

The beginning of befriending a murder of crows. Shaun's dreams are coming true!

Pardon the dirty window. All of the animals love to watch the birds from it.

It's been a long time since I posted plant pics...

It's been a long time since I posted plant pics - mostly because I wasn't here. But here's a cactus bloom and another with little peppers. I love them so much!

I'm tryna go to bed and this cat is so cute on me.
