It’s not too late…

.

Today is Father’s Day and it’s time to honor dear old dad. The man who’s always got your back. The grill master. The king of lame jokes. The guy who thinks he rocks that Members Only jacket. And what better way to say you love and appreciate dad than a gift?

Okay, so the father in question doesn’t actually have human children? No problem. I’ve got you covered.

.

.

Coffee mugs from your furry four footed overlord.

.

.

And in case you think we’re too cat-centric here at River’s World…

.

.

There. Proof positive there’s a perfect gift for every dad.

I love my town

.

What passes for news in my little corner of the world might seem silly to some….

.

.

But I like to think of our Facebook page as the New York Times of happy living.

.

.

You’ll be glad to know this crisis was averted.

.

.

I’m not sure if this a thing in your area, but in Maine late spring means it’s time to thin and divide the perennials. Some people sell them in their front lawn, but more often than not the bounty is simply shared.

.

.

Go home Freyr. I don’t care how tasty the tuna is down the road.

.

.

That’s one fluffy little cock.

.

.

Damn. No one ever drops roosters off at our house.

🥴

.

In which Lord Dudley discovers a drip.

.

While Lord Dudley Mountcatten has the run of the house and has discovered most of its interesting spots…. the spare bathroom sink was new territory.

.

.

And when I turned on the faucet to create dripping water?

.

.

He was hooked and spent an hour trying to catch it.

.

.

I laughed, I filmed, I sat for a while and watched him play. But even after I shut off the faucet and turned out the lights?

.

.

He continued searching for the drip. And now, days later? He still goes in every once in a while waiting for it to magically appear.

.

Things that are sad, but true.

.

This first one might be a bit of an exaggeration…

.

.

But there’s a reason I have a permanent dent in my right shoulder and tend to list a little to that side.

.

.

Cross off the always annoyed and it’s a perfect description of me in the past year. Sigh…

.

.

We cat people pretend our feline overlords feel deep affection for us…. but it’s just as likely they’d eat us if we dropped dead on the living room floor.

.

.

Now that, is a dilemma.

.

More Dudley cuteness.

.

When you chase wild turkeys from the lawn on a daily basis like my husband? You often find they leave parts of themselves behind..

.

.

For which our cat is quite thankful.

.

.

Have you hugged your feather today?

( Archaic reference to a public service announcement that used to run in the 80’s. Stop snickering, I’m old. )

.

.

Lord Dudley Mountcatten was not at all pleased when we put the air conditioners in the windows after a miserably hot and humid day.

.

.

He howled and batted at them and demanded their removal from his favorite bird watching perch. Sorry Dudley, but momma’s menopausal surface of the sun internal temperature requires cooling assistance. Adjust.

.

Required Dudley cuteness.

.

Lord Dudley Mountcatten has been assisting my husband while he teleworks since day one.

.

.

And while my husband has broken him of the laying across the laptop habit, the office chair is still fair game.

.

.

Birds are still a fascination and the laundry room remains a favorite perch.

.

.

A few years ago we replaced most of the windows in our home but since Dudley took up residence, we’ve realized they are not at all cat friendly.

.

.

The ridge in the middle makes reclining a tad uncomfortable and His Lordship is not above voicing his disapproval.

.

.

Or trying various positions.

.

Unrelated drivel.

.

Can someone please explain what frog logs taste like…

.

.

And why anyone would want to find out?

.

.

This completely cracked me up, because it’s true. I’ve waged war with that cursed masher for years.

.

.

Charming… or ridiculous?

.

.

I’m going with the latter.

.

.

The Sunday senior pool games are still going strong. And this little old man is so sweet I’ve started baking goodies.

.

.

Because nothing says hard core pool tournament better than fresh banana bread.
