Y is for Yellow Fire Hydrant

Are you ready for another round of Alphabe Thursday? Let's go!

I'm keeping it simple today with some pictures of yellow fire hydrants. All of the hydrants in my neighborhood are yellow. If you're curious why some hydrants are yellow as opposed to red or other colors, you can learn more about it over here.

quintessential Midwest fall experience

One of the classic activities in the Midwest during the fall is going to an apple orchard. I went to Apple Holler way at the beginning of this fall where I actually did pick apples (remember my apple pie?). More recently I went to Aamodt's Apple Farm and St. Croix Vineyards during my trip to Minneapolis where I did not pick more apples but enjoyed delicious wine samples and took in the beautiful grounds on a lovely fall day with some of my favorite people. I'm sharing a few of my pictures from that excursion. Enjoy.

Has anyone else been apple picking or just enjoying time at an apple orchard this fall?

Saturday is Caturday

Unintentional third kitty post in a row this week. I hope that you can handle it.

Are you ready to start your weekend with an awesome round up of kitty photos?

Remember how this is a thing now? And for those who have been asking, no, they don't jump up there themselves. They get some human assistance. They can jump down on their own just fine, though.

Since Angel passed away, Apollo has been hanging out downstairs with me more than ever while I work. The chair legs have gone from a frequent to staple spot.

Apollo likes to keep me from working on jewelry.

The ultimate spooners.

What have your cats been up to lately?

Happy Halloween

X is for Paws Crossed

Are you ready for another round of Alphabe Thursday? Let's go!

This time last year for the letter X, I posted about one of Angel's signature poses: paws crossed. Apollo and Ares were always curious about Angel and spent quite a bit of time watching her.

I took this picture of Apollo over a year ago.

And I just snapped this one of him earlier this month.

It's so sweet how she stays with all of us, even the boys.
