Random around the house nonsense.

.

It’s nearing the end of the growing season but my geraniums are in peak form. Go figure…

.

.

Construction on the shed extension is progressing slowly.

.

.

And look, it be fancy.

Windows.

🤣

.

.

Lord Dudley Mountcatten finally decided the new porch wasn’t dangerous and explored.

.

.

The stone was particularly interesting and warranted much sniffing.

.

.

As did the new door’s glass panels.

.

.

Please note Polly the Polyphemus moth is still cocooned … weeks past her/his hatching date. I fear we’ll have to keep it safe until next spring now.

🥴

.

.

Poles and more poles are going up across the road.

.

.

I can’t tell you how much I’m dreading seeing those giant greenhouses. Losing our nice view is depressing.

.

.

Entire pitcher of sangria worths depressing.

😉

.

Who, me?

.

I was doing some paperwork at my desk the other day so of course His Lordship had to join me. After booting him off the desk three times he decided to jump on the printer and cause trouble.

.

.

He’s good at that, but looks oh so innocent.

.

.

Needless to say everything up there was knocked to the floor before long.

.

.

Cats.

😊

.

The feline jury is still out.

.

Lord Dudley Mountcatten has been tentatively exploring the new arrivals in the den.

.

.

And looks at me like, what gives?

.

.

Each piece must be thoroughly tested…

.

.

And if this face doesn’t scream displeasure I’ll eat my hat.

.

.

Complaints are loud and frequent.

.

.

After a few days, His Lordship has given his approval to one piece and one piece only…

.

.

The ottoman can stay.

.

Poly – who – mus?

.

Lord Dudley Mountcatten was fascinated by something on the front porch the other day.

.

.

Upon further investigation….

.

.

I discovered a Polyphemus caterpillar on a section of our stone siding.

.

.

Strange creatures indeed.

.

.

The close up photos are reminiscent of a Hollywood space alien.

.

.

How cool is that!

It would be nice if he sticks around after his metamorphosis…

.

.

With a six inch wingspan, he’ll be quite impressive.
