Plants

 It's been a while since I've taken pictures of any of my houseplants, so when I was taking pictures of the cats, I decided to get some of my current favorite plants.  I especially love my Philodendron Rio!  

Arien and her nemesis

 Arien has such an attitude with big mood swings between loving to angry.  She also tends to hold grudges if you make her mad.  And she also tends to take out her anger on Kira.  However, her real nemesis are the birds who come to the feeders I have around the house.  She loves to pounce on the windows or patio door when they get too close.

I did manage to catch this cute woodpecker feeding from the suit cake I have out.

Kira and her nemesis

 I finally had my camera out again to take pictures of the hamsters, and Kira was awake so she became one of my subjects.  She's so pretty and fluffy!  She was hanging out by the patio door because the chipmunks were running around providing lots of entertainment for her.  They seem to taunt her.  Truthfully, they taunt me too when I see them climbing to the bird feeder over and over again, despite my attempts to scare them off.  They are such cute little stinkers!

I caught this one in the act.  😒😅

Cats!

I got the camera out for the hamsters, and decided to see what I could get of these two.  Neither of them seemed too interested in posing more for me.  Haha!

Kira

 Kira was being super cute while I had my camera out to photograph the hamsters so of course I got some pictures of her too.  She's so rotund, voluptuous, and fluffy.  I love her so much.  She's great at keeping me company during the day as I'm working while Arien sleeps.  ❤

Flowers

 I've been working on cleaning up my folders of pictures from last year and came across these pictures of flowers that I forgot to edit.  With how cold and dead everything is right now, these bright colors fill me with excitement for spring to get here soon so I can get back to gardening.  I'm especially proud of these flowers because it was my first time growing flowers from seeds.  💛
