Looks like a Halloween cat for sure.

I found her in the chicken yard, 3 years ago in October. She is the best rodent killer.

Her little sister is too relaxed (lazy) to hunt.

eek... We have those here too, but more in the foothills.

We've had an infestation this year. I have to shake coats and shoes out, look under toilet seats before sitting, and shut the drains in the sinks and tubs.

Looks great!

Initially, I wanted to put a DVR for 8 or 16 cameras, but in the nearest city it was sold only for 4, so I had to buy it. And the previous one is not quite serviceable - there are also 4 cameras. but one of them, fixed on a metal fence, was once struck by lightning. Since then, only 3 cameras can be connected there (one of the 4 ports failed).
To be honest, I have not yet decided what to do with this, on the one hand, I have working cameras, and this DVR can only be connected to 3. I'm thinking of putting it somewhere and taking the cameras to the barn and to the greenhouse where they are wintering now geese. Only I have not yet decided where I will put it - it is warm in the barn in winter, but humid, and in the house - the distance from the house to the greenhouse is relatively large, and I will have to pull a lot of cable.
The DVR has a network card, I can enter it into a computer network and look at the cameras without leaving the computer. Sometimes it's convenient.

Rocks my daughter has found, cut some, and polished. For Christmas I'm going to buy me a pretty dish and give it to her to fill up with her pretty rocks. View attachment 3296303View attachment 3296304View attachment 3296305

Great material for laying in aquariums or making cute things for garden or home decoration! I sometimes collect stones to build fountains and flower beds from them.

So cute and funny!

It was. Let me tell ya just how funny, how it played out.

After handfeeding babies, just before their nap time, I thought, let me get a quick photo. It is always interesting to see different sizes babies can be, so I had both on my 1 hand, for a few moments, just for perspective.

Little Peep gazes up at the big Robin...I wanted to capture this Little Sister Big Sister moment & thought the gaze was quite lovingly...just then Little Peep pecks Robin & pecks her good!
Robin actually leaned back...one hardy peck from a tiny beak. I will never forget it! I wish I'd kept snapping pics!
The gentle giant Robin leaned away from Peep & looked down at her, very sorrowful.
Like, "Geez what did I do?"

Little Peep was 1 feisty tiny gem of a bird! Shortly after hatching, she fell from a pine tree nest on a windy day, that tree was huge, 30 feet high. She was a determined survivor!

I helped rescue many birds but some definitely had personality plus & I will never forget them.
