Our beautiful fox stopped by for a little fallen bird seed snack recently.
.
.
It was early evening …
.
.
So another frequent visitor dropped by as well.

That’s one brave duck.

News you can’t use.

Because I live for odd headlines.

If they’re anything like Twinkies, I’m sure they still tasted fine.
.

Yes, in 1945 American GI’s liberated a little girl’s birthday cake along with Italy. She looks quite happy now, so I guess what they say is true… it’s never too late for cake.

While we welcome all wild visitors for a nosh at Casa River … this makes me glad I don’t live in Florida.
.
.
Is this really a gift? I’m going with no.
.
He’s not quite ready for his close up…
.
More butt shots from my ongoing adventures in cat walking.
.
.
There seriously isn’t a bush or plant on the property that he doesn’t have to crawl under.
.
.
And when he can’t find a shrub?
.
.
The weirdo just plonks himself down and stares at the wall.

I love my town.

Headlines from my little corner of the world.

Bring Your Goat to Work Day probably isn’t a real thing, but damn … it should be.

Excellent ad copy Jason. If I ever need help getting plowed, you’re the man.
.

Busted!

That’s black gold right there. Highly sought after…

Sad animal facts.
.
This month’s calendar factoid introduced me to a strange bird.
.
.
I dare say a lot of wives have the same problem.
.
.
On seeing that cartoon I thought, that can’t be right.
.
.
But it turns out they weren’t far off.
.
.
That’s one strange song, for sure.
.
Our cat is weird.
.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten enjoys his outdoor time, though he’s still restricted to the leash. Our walking excursions usually consist of me standing and him sitting, but fresh air is fresh air and now that the weather is warming up he’s constantly howling to be taken into the great outdoors. Does he avidly explore his environs?
No…
.
.
He face plants on the lawn and stays that way. His Lordship is an odd bird, what can I say?
.
.
Walking a cat can be challenging, predominately because they don’t actually want to walk.
.
.
They want to crawl under things and sit which leaves me with a plethora of butt shots.
.
So close!
.
Another missed opportunity and this time it was entirely my fault. When walking his Lordship I usually keep a loose finger grip on the leash but the other day I had it looped around my wrist and wouldn’t you know it… that was the exact moment our resident red squirrel b*tch darted right out in front of Lord Dudley Mountcatten.
.
.
He ran to give chase but was jerked back by the leash I couldn’t drop just as he reached for her.
.
.
It was a close call… but damn it, she escaped.
.
.
Up the cedar tree she went… and sat there for a good 20 minutes teasing my boy.
And me for that matter.
.
.
He could have had her.
It was so close….
😫
.
Cat rolling
.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten has discovered dirt and I can’t say I’m exactly thrilled with his new hobby.
.
.
Every time I take him out for a walk now he makes a bee line for the bare earth under the bird feeders and rolls.
.
.
Of course he’s not happy until he’s covered in seed, bird poo and clumps of dirt.
.
.
Look at him. Positively orgasmic.
.
I’m in!
.
Let me just throw this out there… I love dinosaurs!
Always have, always will. While other little girls were playing with baby dolls and decorating Barbie’s stupid dream house, I was waging a life and death battle with my T Rex and Brontosaur. When other children wanted to go to Madison Square Garden to see the circus, I begged my parents to take me to the Museum of Natural History to see the Stegosaurus skeleton. In a perfect world I would have grown up to be a fossil hunter, endlessly scouring
the Black Hills for remnants of the Cretaceous. The best I can do now? Live vicariously through documentaries my husband thinks are dry as toast. Until this one –
.
.
Tomorrow on Apple TV, the dinosaur documentary to end all dinosaur documentaries will begin. Hosted by David Attenborough…. All Hail Sir David! …it’s the dino version of Planet Earth and I can’t wait.

*note to self – buy copious amounts of popcorn and butter*

Now that’s tv worth watching!
.
Junior is back.
.
Momma Chuck has been visiting off and on for a few weeks now and while I’m not sure if she’s moved back in under the man cave/barn… it’s a distinct possibility.
.
.
I threw out some carrot shavings for her yesterday when low and behold…
.
.
Junior showed up as well.
.
.
Last year when Momma had her babies, there was a runt who was constantly by her side. We worried that he wouldn’t grow big enough to make it through the winter, but it looks like he did.

Although having a pesky teenager following you around could get old quickly.
