Casper has discovered the fish.
And the fish are surely aware of him. They’re huddled up against the wall of the pot, motionless, where he can’t see them.
I like having both the fish and the snails in there, but I can see it’s definitely going to mean more maintenance on my part. Going to need to scoop gunk off the bottom more often, and remove plant overgrowth. However, everyone likes looking at the fish, cats and people. I’m happy with the tradeoff.

There are lots of caterpillars right now.
Big ones
Small ones
And ones so tiny I have a hard time holding the phone still enough to get a decent picture. All of the passion flower vines are ragged and the butterflies are ragged from fighting over territory.
Casper and I go out in the mornings when it’s still cool and the onshore breeze is blowing. Usually I’m outside about 3 minutes before I see something that needs to be done. Taking Casper out is just the motivation I need to get me moving on the yard work. I sit down and read between chores and he sits by my chair and watches the butterflies. After a dirt bath.

Since I started exercising regularly I seldom have the sleepless nights that I used to, but I’m up now. That fact is driving Casper cat crazy. First he wouldn’t leave me alone. “You’re up now? Great! What are we going to do?” Then he got the zoomies and ran up and down the stairs, making as much noise as possible.
Truth be told, my anxiety level is pretty high about now and he’s a wonderful distraction.
Morning light.
Casper always finds the biggest pile of dirt to roll in.
Little pink nose.
Playing with his paper on his paper. He’s a weirdo.
