Our adventure started with a little traffic jam… thanks to a family of geese taking their sweet time crossing the road! 😂 After waiting for our feathered friends to safely make it across, we were on our way to enjoy Young Washington on the big screen.

Nothing brightens the day quite like a visit from our furry friends! 🐱💜
Kittens love making their rounds, stopping by for cuddles, purrs, and a little extra companionship. These special visits bring so many smiles, spark conversations, and fill Cottagewood with warmth and comfort.
Sometimes the best therapy has four paws and a gentle purr. 🐾💕

The squirrels are at it again! 🐿️😂 They think the bird feeders are an all-you-can-eat buffet. Every time we fill them for the birds, these little acrobats sneak in for a free meal. I guess everyone deserves a snack… even the furry troublemakers!
