Our backyard has been pretty busy of late.
.
.
And our resident herd of ten are showing up every night.
.
.
They don’t usually visit when it’s still light enough to grab photos, so this was a treat.
.
.
You can have television. I’ll happily sit and watch these beautiful creatures instead.
.
.
The harem master.
.
.
I’m so glad he made it through hunting season unscathed.
.
.
In case you’re wondering why they’re called White Tailed Deer.
😉
.
.
Because we all need some of that in our lives.
.
.
Damn. I finally find something worth volunteering for and it’s 1,300 miles away.
.
.
Of course they do. Where do you think Fris-bees came from…?
.
.
Even planets get bored. Who knew?
.
.
Glad I was sitting down for that one.
.
.
We all have those days.
The ones where we want to stay in our pajamas, crawl back into bed and turn off the world.
Apparently Lord Dudley Mountcatten has them as well.
.
.
It’s not as if this feline has a rough life.
.
.
Did the level on his kibble bowl run low?
Were his treats not dispensed at the proper time?
Perhaps his pillow was not properly fluffed.
.
.
Whatever the reason, he’s clearly reached his limit.
😉
.
.
In her never ending attempt to make me embrace kale, my girlfriend gave up trying to feed it to me and gifted me kale hair conditioner.
.
.
The shampoo had matcha which is less revolting, but I’m here to report these products made my (considerable) head of hair feel like a Brillo pad. Keep kale where it belongs… in the garbage can.
.
.
A winter morning peek out our front door.
.
.
A winter evening peek out the same door.
.
.
As seen in the grocery store parking lot. Is this driver extremely lazy… or blind? Those are the only two explanations I can think of to explain riding down the road with a large clump of snow on your windshield.
.
.
As I was picking up some frozen pitted cherries for my morning smoothie at the grocery store, I saw something interesting I knew I had to try.
.
.
Tru Fru.
Individual pieces of ripe fruit… flash frozen and covered in chocolate.
Nothing more.
And nothing less than delightful.
.
.
I don’t have a huge sweet tooth but every now and then I like s little touch of dessert after dinner and these are perfect.
I take a few out of the freezer and let them sit 15-20 minutes before eating… and am now totally addicted.
The raspberry and strawberry have the deepest flavor… but the blueberry and cherry are good as well. They make a banana which I would love, but I haven’t found that one yet.
👍
.
.
In Maine… you never what you’ll find around the next bend in the road.
.
.
Yesterday it was a rather large flock of wild turkeys.
.
.
Who were in absolutely no hurry to move out of my way.
.
.
Since the husband chases every one of their brethren who show up under our bird feeders out of the yard due to prodigious amounts of poo….
.
.
I was happy to stop and watch them amble by.
.
.
A few more oddities from our antique store stroll.
.
.
Because you never know when you’ll need a personal, portable steam engine on wheels. It can be yours for a mere $4,000.
.
.
I have no explanation for that.
.
.
Proof positive everything can be made into a lamp… whether it should be is another issue entirely.
.
.
We almost can home with this corn cutter.
.
.
The fact that it was on sale required closer examination.
.
.
I was all for putting this little dude in the man cave/Barn Mahal but the husband disagreed.
.
.
Truth in advertising is a rare thing.
🤣
.
.
You know the drill.
.
.
This one was fun, if not slightly evil, to think about.
Can you imagine your new spouse’s face if you asked the band to play one of these songs?
My playlist…
1. He Stopped Loving Her Today.
( I just finished watching Showtime’s George and Tammy and couldn’t resist )
2. These Boots Are Made For Walking.
Seems a little soon, but okay.
3. 50 Ways To Leave Your Lover
Ouch!
4. Another One Bites The Dust
Probably more appropriate for a bachelor or bachelorette party… but still funny.
5. Love Stinks
Harsh, I know…. but that’s the point.
6. I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For
Now that one would hurt.
🤣
Your turn.
Give me a wedding song that makes me laugh.
.
.
I was happily cruising Facebook one afternoon, agreeing with sentiments like this:
.
.
Hard to argue with that, eh?
When I stopped to laugh and comment on a friend’s post.
.
.
Now wouldn’t that be a hoot? Screw your kale… pinecones are the real secret to longevity.
I didn’t think anything of it, until an hour later when I picked up my phone and checked my Apple News feed to find this –
.
.
Coincidence?
.
.
Or is the ghost of Steve Jobs tracking my activity?
You be the judge.
😉
.
.
Still in search of that last vintage beer/alcohol crate for my vinyl, the husband and I headed to a massive antique mall in Oxford.
.
.
And I have to say we were blown away. Parts of it had the normal antique mall booths with multiple vendors and then there was this room.
.
.
Which was really more of a museum. Those vintage hand painted sleds were da bomb.
.
.
There were some truly fabulous items.
.
.
With fabulous prices to accompany them. We spent hours just in that one room. And then we moved on..
.
.
My husband probably has a dozen of these old glass water bottles and frames, but that never stops him from looking for number 13.
.
.
I nixed the idea of hanging that on the Barn Mahal door.
.
.
Husband wanted to buy all these Trump dollars and use them to start our next fire, but I couldn’t stand the thought of that man riding all the way home with us even if I knew he’d end up in the ash pile.
To be continued..

River's world.....
