Timing is everything.

.

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.

.

Products no one needs.

.

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.

.

We’ve all been there.

.

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.

.

Giving them the bird.

.

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.

.

.

Random drivel I have to share.

.

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.

.

Still in love!

.

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.

.

.

Products I think I have to buy.

.

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?

.

Magazine musings…

.

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.
