Do you like my hat? #catsofinstagram
Keeping a watchful eye on my progress.
I’ve got my eye on you, 2023. #HappyNewYear
#TopNine pics for 2022. It’s probably not shocking that it’s mostly kitty pics.
Ever get the feeling that you’ve interrupted a plotting session?
Crispy mashed potato and stuffing patties - a tasty way to eat my way through my turkey leftovers.
Bought a beer advent calendar from @collectivebrew. These are the first 12 beers :)

Another awesome autumn adventure.
Snakes and nerds and chippies and blue jays and more snakes and cardinals, oh my! #Arboretum
Autumn in the #arboretum. It pays to look up. :)
Before and after. #PumpkinPie
