Garbonzo (or Harvey), one of the original two farm cats. He passed away from a tick disease in early 2024.
Jupiter (or Marvin), one of the original two farm cats. He passed away from the same tick disease in mid-2025. Arguably the best cat we've ever had.
Adama, our current house cat.
Peaches, our big female cat, who's mothered about 11 or 12 kittens.
Mercedes, the only member of Peaches's first litter that we've kept. Right now, he only exists to breed with Waffle and Pancake (see below).
The newest addition: Ix (pronounced icks), the redbone coonhound. His full name is Boniface IX, after the pope. This is when he was a puppy; he's now probably ten times that size.
Peaches's first litter. This is from when they were around a month old. We named them (left to right, top to bottom) Spot, Tab, Cappy, Tori, Mercedes, and Blotchy.
Waffle, a young female who's one of our only reliable hunters.
Pancake, Waffle's sister who's needlessly afraid of humans. Update: Now that she's mothering kittens, she's become far more affectionate!
Nubs, this goofy ginger female cat with no tail who regularly visits every time we're at our other property.
The litters Waffle and Pancake had with Mercedes, all piled together. We named them (approx. left to right) Jett, Diamond, Penny, Nacho, Sunny, and Perry.
This full set of Childcraft books I spotted in a flea market, but didn't buy. I don't remember the copyright date, but Wikipedia suggests it could've been around between 1975 and 1985. I'm not usually one for fashion, but some of the illustrations in there embody the kind of aesthetic I strive to have.
My Royal Safari, actually a cheap Portuguese-made machine from the early 80's when carbon-ribbon electric machines were the trend. Feels cheap, and yet arguably my fastest machine with the clearest print.
My Olivetti Lettera 32, an itty-bitty metal machine with very gentle print. Still fast, and my most portable machine.
My Sears Citation, a "portable" beast of a machine with messier print that can take quite a beating. It uses a strange variant font that's more vertically compact.
