What I’m streaming these days..

I don’t watch a lot of television, but I do love getting knee deep in a good series. Here are my current picks …

.

.

Seen on AppleTV and brought to you by the people who made Ted Lasso, one of my all time favorites.

The writing is sharp, the comedy is quick and the characters are lovable. Highly recommend.

.

.

This is a weird one. Dramatic, well acted and I swear I’ll never be able to look at Kevin Kline the same way again.

.

.

I have never (ever!) liked Sylvester Stallone but by God… I do now. He’s craggy and grey, but this out of his element aging Jersey mobster in Oklahoma is a winner.

.

.

I really liked the first two seasons of this light comedy and while I don’t think #3 was quite as good… it was still worth watching.

.

.

I’ve only seen two episodes of this deep, dark psychological thriller…. but I’m hooked. Billy isn’t laughing in this one, trust me.

And then there was paint.

My husband says he’s done with the shed extension for this year.

.

.

And as hard as I’ve lobbied to truly finish it with a third wall/door, my pleas are falling on deaf ears and I shall have to live with (though not quietly I assure you) a tarp that covers the open end all winter.

Grrr.

But that doesn’t mean I have to live with raw wood so I matched the old color as well as I could and got to work.

.

.

My husband doesn’t paint.

Or stain.

.

.

Ever.

But that’s fine, I don’t mind doing my part.

.

.

Though I do end up wearing almost as much as whatever structure I’m painting.

.

.

There.

At least it looks little better…

Though I’m still going to ride my spouse to put a trim post on the unfinished rear right edge.

.

.

Big barn, little barn.

.

.

The color match isn’t perfect, but it will do until I can put an another coat on the whole building next spring.

Clearly they don’t know me very well…

I received an email from Goodreads yesterday…. the app where I log and keep track of what I’m reading.

I participate in their annual challenge where you set a goal for yourself in January and hopefully reach it by December 31rst. I’ve been doing it for two years and have overshot my target number with room to spare both times.

So why did they send me this…

.

.

When my challenge is already showing this…

.

.

Short books?

As you can see, that’s not necessary.

Now what?

Lord Dudley Mountcatten caught a mouse yesterday.

.

.

Pulled it out from under the day lily undergrowth just as proud as could be.

.

.

Not that he knew what to do with it.

We have a lot of mice here in the country, and yes… they’re sweet, but they also try to find a way in our nice warm house in the winter and that I can do without.

His Lordship’s mother would prefer he catch and quickly dispatch the rodents to Mickey Mouse heaven but Lord Dudley is a pacifist and prefers to make friends instead.

.

.

He and his new buddy hung out like this for a while … and then went their separate ways.

Sigh.

Miscellaneous nonsense.

I love finding new cocktail recipes but sometimes I wonder where the names come from.

.

.

This is one of those times.

.

.

And since I’m always posting photos of sunrises and sunsets, here’s a different spin.

.

.

Moonset.

The mosquito is often referred to as the Maine state bird since our state has ample wooded areas and lakes for it to breed. They can get pretty large up north, but I have to admit the one we saw on someone’s front lawn the other day takes the prize.

.

.

I’d hate to be bitten by that bastard.
