High Priestess, Low Patience

The Morning Monty is disappointed in my inability to control the weather.

goooood morning it is cool and overcast but we made our rounds accompanied by crows (and we shared our snacks), and ran into our favorite kid-friends so yes, 100%: Lucy Loved That Walk

Anyway, that was this year's mammogram sorted. If you are of the appropriate demographic and have access to such a thing: GO GET YOURS. They're important!

HARD SAME ::spooky happydances::

The Morning Monty lurks inside the Purranda, despite the chill and gloom (because there are bird-feeders hanging on that fence, that’s why)

goooood morning it is cold and wet and dark out there because we had to get an early start (I’ve got a doc appointment) so here’s a quickie - but do rest assured: Lucy Loved That Walk

anyway good night

On a grim, damp day, The Morning Monty takes all the light he can get.

The Morning Monty soaks up the sun while he can get it.

goooood morning it is cool and unexpectedly bright, and I slept in a smidge while husband took this little lady on her rounds - but I’m quite confident: Lucy Loved That Walk

sir you’re lying on top of the remote sir

since the year I was born (1975): rescues/no kill shelters, foster networks, spay/neuter programs, and a general shift in cultural attitudes about pet ownership have reduced the number of cats and dogs euthanized in shelters by 90% pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

The Morning Monty watches and waits for better weather.

goooood morning it is cool and cloudy and the poptart crusts are flying, so we made our rounds and met a new friend or two while sharing snacks with crows, so yes, as usual: Lucy Loved That Walk

y’all wanna see a complex diplomatic negotiation that occurs entirely via ear-wiggles

tfw you’ve been exiled to the backyard because you were needlessly rude to our little houseguest and scared a tiny bit of poop out of him

more videos: we’re playing doggie daycare for Fergus this afternoon; this walk successfully drained him of every drop of pee 👍

The Morning Monty is pleased.

goooood morning it is bright and brisk and we took a nice loop around the neighborhood, greeting yard friends and sharing with our crow friends, so yes, of course: Lucy Loved That Walk

Fellow WA voters, let's bury this. I can't imagine any parent wants to subject their child to this vile "examination."

the formula for a guaranteed bestseller is a precise ratio of low-friction familiarity and higher-friction novelty presumably the inverse of whatever I’ve been doing for the last 20 years

if you refuse the opportunity to vaccinate your pets then you are too stupid to be responsible for your own life, much less anything else’s

fwiw, the sun did come back out

Well, now the fog has rolled back in? Temporarily maybe? But The Morning Monty got some scritches and sun-soaking time before it vanished.

Here she is purring away while all nine (!) babies wiggle around and nurse or nap 🧡

this European paper wasp is an expert hider

The Morning Monty is a bit maniacal.

goooood morning it is cool and overcast, and our usual loop brought us yoga ladies and teenage school kids who wanted to pet this little lady, so yes, as usual: Lucy Loved That Walk
