Asteroid?
Nope.
.

.
Rise of the mammals?
Uh uh.
.

.
What really killed the dinosaurs?
This:
.

.
The poor bastards were eating kale.

And it’s always bad at Casa River.
.

.
Yesterday morning I saw that rat bastard red squirrel.
.

.
She was running all over our roof and gutter probably looking for a way back into the house.
.

.
I chased her off with the broom, but 10 minutes later she was back. She hung around for another half hour or so and for once….
I wish she’d stayed a little longer.
.

.
Well, hello there.
.

.
Your timing was awful, but please come back another day.
I have multiple squirrel recipes to share.
.
.
While I’m all for pampering and spoiling our pets..
.

.
No.
.

.
Just, no.
.

.
Bowzer’s manicure should not look better than mine… and look, even the dog hates it.
.

.

.
I want to know who looked at their cat’s ass one afternoon and thought, ” Hey, that will make a great coloring book”.
.

.
Mr. Whiskers is not amused.
And lastly, proof positive more isn’t always good… it’s just more.
.

.
Hell, I think I’m slipping into diabetic coma just looking at that.
.
.
That’s what I need to do.
.

.
Because my feeders empty as soon as I fill them.
.

.
Everyone’s trying to lay on a little extra fat for winter.
.

.
Except me. I’m not trying… but it’s there damn it.
.

.
Critters eat me out of house and home this time of year.
.

.
But that’s okay.
.

.
I wouldn’t have it any other way.
.
.
Epic fails in the kitchen. They usually happen when you’re having your MIL or the boss over for dinner.
So when I saw these online the other day? I had to share…
.

.
Not even close.
.

.
Funny, I’ve made this dish as well… but had no idea it was Italian.
.

.
Recipes.
Sometimes they just like to screw with you.
.

.
Ninja throwing apples!
I like.
.

.
Oh, hell no!
That mouth. I just can’t…
.

.
I’m all for making pets out of rocks, they’re so obedient. But this looks more like a creepy charcoal briquette.
.

.
It’s official.
I will never eat sausage again.
.
.
Today the turkeys beat the deer to the buffet.
.

.
Come on mom, I’m hungry.
.

.
Bambi wanted in.
.

.
But was decidedly out numbered.
.

.
Look at mommas face.
She is not pleased.
.

.
But she gives in and tries to approach.
.

.
Nope.
Even when Bambi runs at them they just scatter and regroup.
.

.
Still hungry…
.

.
Bambi finds an alternative source.
.

.
.
For all my pun loving friends..
.

.
Egg yolks…. they don’t always crack you up.
This next one literally made me snort.
.

.
Admit it, you want one.
Or six.
.
.
We passed this little cutie the other day on a back road.
.

.
Perfume…. that smells like gin?
When I have a few too many I tend to spill it on myself. Think of all the time that will save.
And finally…
.

.
Oh sweet Jesus, no.
First kale killed the dinosaurs… and now my tomato wants a piece of me?
Stop the world. I want to get off.
.
.
Yeah, yeah… still the husband. Soul mate, best friend, whatever.
.

.
But today I’m talking about critters.
.

.
Whimsical…
.

.
Magical….
.

.
Absolutely adorable….
.

.
Little critters.
.

.
Yes, even the pesky red squirrel.
.

.
And the mice that make their winter nests in our garage.
.

.
The fact that these creatures are ephemeral and disappear with the first gust of wind just makes it bittersweet.
.

.
.
For blog fodder research purposes if nothing else.
.

.
I’m guessing they meant to say bad mood, but either way …. a screaming goat seems like the perfect companion to ride out the rest of this abominable year.
.

.
A book of delightful goat facts? Perfect.
.

.
Screaming goat placement is everything.
And hey, when you already have a flying poop drone…. a screaming goat doesn’t even raise eyebrows.
.
.
The other product I might have to buy?
.

.
A carbonated bubbling face mask?
.

.
Show of hands…. how many people want to see that selfie?
.
.
Since I’m still trying to plow through my massive stack of magazines, I have to share.
.

.
Do we really need shoes that breathe? I don’t… but maybe that’s just me.
.

.
I’m all for alternative leather products… eucalyptus? Cool. But if they come up with kale filled seats? I’m boycotting on sheer principle.
.

.
According to this map temperatures are rising almost everywhere but it looks like me and my hot flashes are in the right place. Hang in there Maine! River melts into a puddle in anything above 75 degrees.
.

.
If you’ve never had canned brown bread you haven’t lived a full life. This is a Maine staple, made in Portland, Maine… so why this article calls it Boston brown is a mystery. Moist and filled with molasses?
Try it. Your mouth will thank me.
.

.
Dexter is coming back!
I don’t have Showtime anymore but might have to resubscribe in order to revisit my favorite serial killer.
.

.
Ghost pepper strawberry frosting?
No.
Just no.
