Snow memories.

,

These winter pictures popped up on my Facebook memories recently and I thought it would be fun to share.

.

.

Backyard deer on their path. They don’t stray very far from it once it’s cut.

.

.

That’s my husband shoveling out our neighbor who thought she could make it down her driveway in her car before plowing.

.

.

She couldn’t.

.

.

And here’s my husband a year later pushing his snowblower next door….

.

.

To help dig out her husband’s plow truck.

My husband is a good neighbor to have.

.

.

This is Mr. White, a beautiful boy who is no longer with us. He always wanted to go outside in the winter…

.

.

But didn’t really like it once he got there.

❤️

.

Creative carrots, cemetery shopping and unlimited tequila…

.

I love creative people, and since I’m clearly not one of them I enjoy seeing and stealing their ideas.

.

.

I would never have thought of using carrots in a floral bouquet, but it totally works.

🥕🌷🥕

The other day I used Apple Maps to find an antique store the husband wanted to visit.

.

.

Should I be worried there’s a cemetery at the exact same address?

😳

.

.

Yes, damn it.

She’s back.

.

.

Not that his Lordship cares.

.

.

Dudley knows how to relax.

.

.

Is that the perfect vacation trip or what?

👍

My pickle algorithm has been blissfully quiet for a while… until this popped up last week.

.

.

**groan**

This last one is specifically for Mark.

.

.

😉

.

This and that.

.

Lord Dudley Mountcatten has developed a disturbing fondness for Al Roker…

.

.

Should I be worried?

.

.

Has the revolution begun? And why did no one tell me…

.

.

I love Cards Against Humanity and Beth Dutton.

I may have to own this.

.

.

Not my photograph, but it was posted by someone in Maine.

If that squirrel isn’t silently saying ‘hold my beer’ ? I’ll eat my hat.

.

.

Bacon is life.

.

The flotsam I need to share.

.

I don’t know if this first one is true, but I really hope so. The cuteness factor is off the charts.

.

.

And because I’m nerdy enough to get a giant kick out of this –

.

.

Murphy’s cat? Uncannily accurate.

As my loyal readers know, adjusting to retirement has not been easy for my husband. Feeling useless and unproductive with endless hours to fill has been driving him a bit batty. I’ve given him numerous suggestions, none of which have been to his liking.

And then I saw this…

.

.

Now that’s a retirement career he’s well suited for!

Without starting a political argument, I’m just going to drop the following photo here. Taken at the FBI, it shows a worker following orders to paint.

.

.

The fact that he’s been ordered to paint over awful words like fairness, respect and integrity speaks volumes.

😥

.

.

Reading this article makes me realize that American shellfish are complete slackers. Let’s put those suckers to work!

.

.

I’m ending this post with Lord Dudley Mountcatten, staring me down for no good reason. Just because he can.

.

Danger Will Robinson!

.

Apologies to those too young to understand the title reference.

Lord Dudley Mountcatten loves looking out the window and keeps a close eye on birds and visiting critters. But when an enemy dares step foot in his backyard?

.

.

He lets the whole house know about it with snarls, growls and hisses.

.

.

Said enemy is Silas, the neighbor kitty who likes to stalk mice in our field and occasionally takes a stroll under the bird feeders.

.

.

His Lordship is not amused.

😉

.

Lazy cats and lovable octopi.

.

Lord Dudley Mountcatten does not exert himself unnecessarily.

.

.

Or at all, honestly.

.

.

Cat life is good.

.

.

The moon has been amazing lately, but I never manage to take decent photographs of it.

.

.

Doesn’t stop me from trying though.

.

.

Shout out to Grace at Just Tawkin’ for recommending this beautifully written, heartwarming, and simply wonderful book.

You’ll never think of an octopus the same way.

❤️

.

Life with His Lordship.

.

Lord Dudley Mountcatten loves his blanket during the winter months.

.

.

And woe to the human who thinks about removing it from the couch.

.

.

His Lordship has my husband well trained.

.

.

He knocks his favorite mouse off the ottoman…

.

.

And my husband catches it.

.

.

Again.

And again.

And again….

.

.

His Lordship is an odd fellow and has been known to sit and stare at nothing at all.

.

.

Yesterday morning it was the sun.

.

.

Lord Dudley loves his mouse.

.

.

And often goes full on penguin, tucking it under his belly.

Is he trying to hatch it?

Time will tell.
