Milton Berle said laughter is an instant vacation.
So you might as well laugh, because no one’s going to Cabo anytime soon.
This week’s selections have a theme….
Which is basically 2020 bites….
And we’re over it.
Never has there been such a crazy, utterly wasted year.
Yes….
That pretty much says it all.
.
Okay, we don’t live in the mountains.
But there was fog over the woodchucks this morning…
.
.
So I’m rolling with it.
.
.
My little fellows are quite used to being served breakfast now.
.
.
Spoiled?
.
.
Maybe just a bit.
.
.
Our resident skunk who visits nightly.
Like everything else around here, he’s ass backwards with a black striped tail and white tip.
Regardless, he’s still a little stinker… and if the tip goes up?
Run.
.
.
Two CH-53E Marine Corps choppers flying over our backyard during some rare state of Maine training.
We lived in the flight pattern of these babies down south when my husband was active duty, and trust me, when they go by? You feel it.
As does your house.. because everything that isn’t nailed down rattles.
.
.
The sunset up the road from our house the other night.
You may ooh and ah at will.
.
.
A sign I bought for the husband’s future barn bar.
Beer.
Making friends more interesting for centuries.
The husband was scrolling through the Direct TV guide the other night, searching in vain for something worth watching.
And try as I might, I couldn’t convince him this was it.
Think of all the blog fodder I missed!
This week’s CSA bounty was full.
With onions, fairy tale eggplants, celery, garlic, basil, rainbow chard, tomatoes, carrots, and salad mix.
But did you see it?
There, on the right hand side…
A slightly wrong tomato.
It’s either flipping me off…
Or sticking out it’s tongue.
Either way?
It’s rude produce, and that’s just wrong.
.
When Big Daddy buck comes for dinner….
.
.
The rest of the family has to share.
.
.
One bowl for Big Daddy…
.
.
One bowl for everybody else.
.
.
It’s good to be King.
.
.
Where there’s a will there’s a way.
.
.
In this scenario, I see my noodle landing in my margarita… and no one wants that.
.
.
Distance.
It’s all relative.
.
.
Canadians have the right idea with hockey sticks. You can measure distance as well as crack heads if someone gets too close.
.
.
Wisconsin? I don’t know. I’d rather not be on the back end of that ruler…
.
.
Bubble gyms?
If they were covered in black fabric so no one could see my quarantine twenty jiggling… maybe.
.
.
Excellent.
And I bet their conversation is more interesting than your cousin Darryl’s anyway.
.
.
Squirrels are people too.
.
.
Pffft!
What’s next, motion sensor operated baptism?
.
.
Now that makes sense!
.
The brothers are still with us.
.
.
Getting so fat I can hardly tell them from their mother these days.
.
.
Although how you get fat from eating lettuce I’m sure I don’t know.
.
.
I never tire of watching these little scutters eat.
.
.
And the fact the two remaining siblings still stick close together makes me smile.
.
.
They don’t always get along….
.
.
And have been known to tussle over a prime carrot slice now and then…..
.
.
But you rarely see one without the other.
Am I jealous the brothers are able to go out to eat and be served tasty meals?
Well, maybe a little.
I saw an article the other day about all the amazing things people are doing with the spare time the pandemic shutdowns are providing them.
Some were worth while.
Others?
You decide.
Did Rufus McToofus need his very own adirondack chair to celebrate accordingly?
Probably not.
That’s so special it hurts.
Just…. wow.
What do you suppose those ducks are posting on social media? Can someone please investigate and report back. I’d hate for those ducks to have a more interesting blog than mine.
Finally….
A worthy use of time.
Remember the bizarre eggplant?
The ‘extremely happy to see you’ eggplant?
We decided to gift it to our local pub’s owner/bartender/new friend.
He wasn’t quite sure what to make of it at first…. and tried to pass it off to his employee.
Who immediately weaponized it.
And then succumbed to it’s charms.
And once he saw how well it was being received?
He fell in love.
I mean really, how could you not?
River's world.....
