And we’re so in love with ours right now I fear they’ll be occupying blog space for a while.
.
.
Do you know how nice it is to actually be able to sit at our bar?
.
.
Trust me, after weeks of standing? It’s seriously nice.
.
.
And yes, I admit a fair amount of alcoholic beverages have been consumed in the short time we’ve owned them.
.
.
Note to self – clear off magnetic bottle opener before guests arrive.
.
.
Ah….
Chairs.
.
.
Why?
.
.
Why does Facebook think I need a product from a company called Turdcules?
.
.
I understand algorithms, but I swear I’ve never posted anything about steamy butt nuggets.
.
.
The Throne Room newsletter?
Please, no.
.
.
The call that we’d been waiting 7 weeks for finally came.
.
.
And we headed down to the workshop in Biddeford to pick up our custom made bar chairs.
.
.
It was an awful morning, snow showers at our house and rain farther south.
.
.
So I was bound and determined our haul was going to be tightly secured and fully covered for transport.
.
.
These babies are heavy, so when we got home the husband had to haul them all out to the Man Cave.
.
.
Made from 120 year old reclaimed Vermont barn boards, no two are the same.
.
.
At first the husband was upset they didn’t all match perfectly, but that’s what I love about them.
.
.
And they may not look it, but they’re quite comfortable.
.
.
So yes, an inaugural beer was poured. At 10:45 am.
.
.
And consumed while seated. Don’t judge…
.
.
Though why the darn man wasn’t smiling I have no idea. He really was happy, but I guess you’ll have to take my word on that.
.
.
Because the ball wash ads weren’t bad enough.
.
.
Now I’m seeing this on my Facebook feed.
.
.
Butt incense and polite bacteria?
Sorry, I find them both rude.
.
.
Oh, look. Bright colors and assorted flavors.
.
.
My privates do indeed go everywhere I go (except my uterus which I left at the hospital 5 years ago) but they will continue to go without butt incense for the foreseeable future.
Of this I’m sure.
.
.
You never know what you’ll find on the shelves these days.
And some of it I wish I hadn’t.
.
.
I don’t care how healthy it’s supposed to be, that looks disgusting.
.
.
I tried to talk the husband into buying these for the man cave bar, but couldn’t. And they were on sale too.
Shame, that.
.
.
I don’t know about you… but I’m thinking any juice that comes out of a goat can’t be very sanitary.
.
.
Part three, the last of the Photo Ark birds.
.
Black and Red Broadbill
I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing these photographs as much as I’ve enjoyed sharing them.
.
Superb Bird of Paradise
This is my all time favorite weirdo bird. And if you don’t agree? Watch the short video clip and get back to me.
.
.
Crested Auklet
Can you imagine having a permanent curlicue on your forehead?
.
Red Headed Vulture
If you see this fellow flying around overhead… kiss your butt goodbye.
.
Southern Lapwing
Is it me? Or is this beauty the perfect Dr. Seuss character.
.
Lesser Flamingo
If you’ve never taken the time to watch a frolicking flock of flamingoes? You haven’t yet lived.
.
Mandarin Duck
Birds…. beauty and grace in motion.
Just ask Joel.
