Little known facts.

And once you read them you’ll realize how little you care…..

I’m sure you could have gone all day with out hearing that, but since I hate nuts anyway? It strengthens my resolve that peanut butter is disgusting.

 

IMG_E3163

 

Yeah.

Enjoy that sandwich now.

I dare you.

I had to do a little research on this one because I grew up adoring Ted.

Sadly, he’s wasn’t always the sweet cuddly children’s author we imagined.

But I still love the Lorax, sorry Helen.

Asbestos snow…

What could go wrong?

 

IMG_E3170

 

True.

And quite bizarre…

 

IMG_E3166

 

Well, we could all use a little more protein in our diets.

 

IMG_E3167

 

People are allergic to cochineal insects?

How would they know? I didn’t even realize there was such a thing.

 

IMG_E3165

 

Okay, I agree…. that really would have sucked.

And finally, because men aren’t filled with enough penile insecurities as it is.

IMG_E3169

 

Sorry guys.

Penis envy is a horrible thing.

P.S. ….. When I woke up and checked WP on my phone this morning? My reader preview made me do a double take.

Damn.

The porn spammers will be back any day now.

Alright, that’s a lie.

It’s just me snapping shots from the window. But that’s not a snappy title… so get over it.

Our fox is coming every night now.

 

IMG_1776

 

And sometimes he/she brings a friend.

 

IMG_1853

 

They’re such beautiful creatures.

 

IMG_1793

 

And wonderful at keeping the mouse population under control.

 

IMG_1854

 

As you can see from the bird feeders, it’s Baltimore Oriole time.

 

IMG_1815

 

They’re gorgeous, but quick.

 

IMG_1875

 

And catching a good shot is rare.

We put out oranges and grape jelly, which they adore.

 

IMG_1927

 

Of course, so does everyone else.

A raccoon comes in at midnight and strips the jelly…

 

IMG_1943

 

 

And this hairy woodpecker makes short work of the oranges.

 

IMG_1945

 

Our resident chucker is still here.

 

IMG_1834

 

Enjoying apples.

 

IMG_1843

 

And salad scraps.

Life is good in my little corner of the world.

Unless it’s in a rent by the hour hot sheet motel? I don’t think anyone needs their bed to vibrate.

 

 

Just…. no.

If I’m not willing to eat kale? ( and I think we’ve established I’d rather have my toenails ripped off by a hungry wombat ) I doubt I’ll be spreading it on my face any time soon.

 

 

 

Well this is ridiculous.

Leftover chocolate. What’s that?

 

 

 

Proof positive there are a limitless number of kitchen gadgets waiting to collect dust in your cabinet.

Move over avocado hugger and ice cream ball. Spaetzle maker is in da house.

 

 

I have no idea if this works or not, but may I just say?

Eww.

 

 

 

 

When I first saw this I thought… nope, I’ll pass on the motivational self help crap.

Until I realized it could be filled with G&T’s or margaritas.

1:00pm took on a whole new meaning then.

Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring seems to be a favorite in the re-created art catalog.

For which I’m glad.

 

IMG_3522

 

Though this next one does differ quite substantially from the original….

 

IMG_3525

 

You have to applaud the commitment.

 

IMG_3529

 

There.

Proof positive your mother was wrong when she said you’d never find a place to wear head to toe green.

Man with vacuum cleaner.

You know women will swoon over this.

Oh. My….

The less said about this the better!

More pandemic chuckles.

Because if you don’t laugh, you’ll scream.

 

 

That’s the very definition of symmetry.

 

 

I can relate to this.

My bags are lonely… as well as heartbroken.

 

 

I’m not a religious person, but first plague…. now insects.

It’s mildly convincing, but I’m still holding out for water into wine.

 

 

Finally,

A protest I can get behind.

 

 

Well that’s depressing.

 

 

Because the answer to “what’s new?” has never been more boring.

Making a grocery run with the husband looks a little different these days…

 

IMG_E3318

 

As does his idea of the word essentials.

 

 

But the real news of the day?

This:

 

 

We found two of the most elusive items in Maine. Flour and toilet paper!!!

Now I can say I know how a crack whore feels after a fix.

Well, maybe not exactly how.

But still…

 

 

We found these precious jewels at an out of the way, generic name grocery store in the back country.

And no, I’m not telling you where.

You know your bush is too big when…..

Relax.

This is a G rated post.

I’m speaking of  a yew bush in front of our home office window.

It’s large, unruly and was in need of a pruning. Problem was, I couldn’t reach most of it from outside so……

 

IMG_E3605

 

I hung out the window and did a little hedge trimming from the inside.

 

IMG_3606

 

This results in an utter mess and small green needles everywhere.

But what’s a girl to do when her bush needs trimming?

 

IMG_E3607

 

There.

That’s better.
