Our fancy new weather station. F*ck the TV forecasters … 🌡️ I recently decided to upgrade my weather station to something a bit more reliable than the TV weatherPEOPLE. And Ro is constantly trying to get an accurate weather report. It took some research, and I spotted the […]
Squirrel meets mouse, while cat decides which to go after. It was an interesting scene. And at the same time, I gotta figure out what to do about the mouse, before it takes up permanent residence, and starts a family … 🐿️ 🐁 😼
