Random nonsense.

First a few oddities I saw while grocery shopping.

.

Is the jerky still perky if it’s not turkey?

Is the turkey still perky if it’s not jerky?

Inquiring minds want to know.

.

Chocolate and wine, two things I enjoy… but mixed together at the “fine wine” price of $7.99?

Probably not.

And now? A trending story on my town’s Facebook page.

.

.

Technically he hasn’t crossed the road yet, but it’s only a matter of time.

.

.

Because new margarita recipes must be shared.

.

.

You can buy decorative logs on Wayfair… and I’ve just realized I can make a fortune selling the contents of our woodshed to idiots.

Score!

Good winter morning!

There are a lot of reasons we love living in this house.

It’s in the fabulous state of Maine.

It’s in a small town in the country.

It’s surrounded by good neighbors, as well as horses, goats and chickens.

It has enough elbow room so we don’t have to see those neighbors unless we want to.

It has a steady parade of visiting wildlife.

But best of all?

We have perfect sunrises out the back windows and perfect sunsets out the front.

And when you wake up to this?

.

.

It’s hard to find fault with your world.

.

.

Good morning!

Because it’s easy… and you’re already here.

I’m not a huge tv watcher so I have a generalized answer to this…

Any and every reality show ever produced. I’ve never watched one and I never will. They promote and reward bad behavior…. and if I want to see that?

I’ll just watch C-Span.

How about you? What popular show do you dislike…

Some winter snaps.

I’m so glad winter finally showed up. Cold temps and snow! It warms my little menopausal heart, as well as cools off the rest of me.

.

.

There’s the husband shoveling a path to the bird feeders so our feathered friends don’t go hungry. He’s such a good egg.

.

.

We use this table as snow gauge. It piles up so perfectly, how could we not?

.

.

Once the snow caps these boxwood shrubs, the birds take cover underneath. It drives Lord Dudley Mountcatten insane.

.

.

Sunrise over the backyard reveals the deer superhighway.

.

.

We don’t have virgin fresh fallen snow for long.

My Planet… part three.

More relatable Mary Roach humor.

While I can’t get on board with the jewelry part, I’ve had more than a few cocker spaniel days.

.

.

Oh, who are we kidding? I’ve had cocker spaniel months.

This next page deals with searching for a new home and open houses.

.

.

I used to love to tour open houses, just because. Not that I ever bought any, it’s just a fun way to spend the day.

.

.

So you know I had to…

Some dogs looked happy.

.

.

Some dogs did not.

.

.

Cats? Apparent they rate toast collars.

.

.

But hands down? The winner goes to three olive martini beagle.

.

.

It will serve his owner right to get poked in the eye with that toothpick.

I doubt even Judy Garland would be wild about this Harry.

I have not, nor do I ever intend to read Prince Harry’s book, Spare. While part of me feels sorry for the guy growing up in a cold as ice household and losing his mother when young…. I have no desire to plumb the depths of the royal family’s secrets and peak behind the curtain of the modern monarchy.

It seems everywhere you turn people are talking about this book and while it’s been easy enough to ignore, one article the other day caught my eye … and when that happens? You know I have to share.

Here are a few of the more… how shall we say…colorful excerpts from the infamous book.

.

.

Did the press write extensively about the Royal penis? Gee. I’m glad I missed that.

.

.

You know what? I did ‘shrooms back in the day and never talked to a toilet. Myself? Yes. But then I’m a better conversationalist than most commodes. Or so I’ve been told.

.

.

Not talking about your frostbitten todger at all would have been preferable.

.

.

Sent him off to graze? How delightful.

Because the world is a ridiculous place.

.

.

This does not surprise me in the least.

.

.

Men have been obsessed with their one eyed trouser snake since the dawn of time, and now we have proof.

.

.

Why this particular fellow thought his penis would be an appropriate weapon against a charging leopard…. I’m sure I don’t know.

.

.

I can just hear the hippo now… “needs salt”.

.

.

And in case you’re in the mood to let the girls run free?

.

.

Get thee to Cape Cod and jump on a ferry.

.

.

Nantucket winters can be a bit brisk, so be careful you don’t take anyone’s eye out with a quick turn.

.

.

Now there’s something you don’t see everyday.

A few more laughs from Mary Roach.

.

.

She does make a valid point.

.

.

The previous owners of our house removed three drawers in the kitchen and installed a dishwasher. After 10 years of never opening it, I hired the same contractor to get rid of the dry rotting dishwasher and rebuild the cabinet with a sliding shelf. We’ve been through three refrigerators since we’ve lived here, I don’t need this one developing an attitude.

.

.

I unabashedly raise my hand on this one and admit to telling many a mechanic about the funny noises emanating from under the hood . Lucky for me the vorculator was still in good shape.
