Miscellaneous nonsense.

His Lordship has discovered the joy of popping bubble wrap.

.

.

And literally throws his whole body into it.

.

.

Because Easter is right around the corner.

.

.

This sounds utterly disgusting to me, and to be honest… I don’t think the Peep looked pleased either.

.

.

I didn’t know this, but am glad I do now.

.

.

Yes, she’s still here.

And yes, we’re still getting snow.

.

.

I know I complain about trying Facebook recipes that never turn out as pictured…. but I dare any of you to cook a pork tenderloin that comes out like that!

🤣

.

.

If you know, you know.

😖

.

.

My neighbor sent me this picture a while back. She was coming up her driveway and captured the strange cloud formation.

Very odd.

Remember a while back when we stopped at that wonderful old general store in New Hampshire?

.

.

Well, I finally got around to baking that bread and it was fabulous.

.

.

Crusty and dense,…. with a big slab of butter, it was almost a meal in itself.

.

.

Our recent dusting of snow left evidence of critter visitation overnight.

.

.

And how cute is that.

.

.

The verdict is in, you should get a cat.

.

.

But not this one.

.

.

As tax time looms, I’m just going to drop these charts.

.

.

If they don’t make you grit your teeth, nothing will.

.

.

I do.

I really do…

His Lordship was not amused.

16 Comments

.

In my husband’s ongoing quest to drag all his junk up from the cellar and scatter it around the barn (in preparation for a yard sale that will never happen) he found a toy.

.

.

A remote control car to be precise.

.

.

And after installing fresh batteries, he had to take it for a test drive.

And by test drive, I mean a ‘slam into all the furniture legs at top speed’ drive.

.

.

Lord Dudley Mountcatten was woken from his fifth nap of the day and not at all pleased.

.

.

There will be hell to pay for this disturbance, I guarantee it.

.

Spring is just around the corner and though the temps are still cool in Maine, 90% of our snow is gone.

.

.

Of course that doesn’t stop His Royal Highness from finding the one batch left in a shady corner and getting stuck in the middle of it.

.

.

And since the snow has melted?

.

.

Lord Dudley Mountcatten was rolling.

.

.

In some stinky fallen bird seed and loving every messy minute of it.

.

.

Needless to say he got a thorough brushing and wipe down before re-entering the house.

.

.

Eggs.

It literally hurts to buy them these days. $9.09 for a dozen, $12.75 for 18.

Damn.

.

.

The husband and I took full advantage of this primo parking spot at the grocery store the other day. Hell, with what they’re charging for eggs they should offer valet service too.

.

.

Easter is coming.

.

.

You’re welcome.

( hollow out eggs and mix filling with above ingredients )

😊

Herb Alpert, veggie margaritas and Christians who can’t spell.

A rare photo of Lord Dudley Mountcatten walking in the snow a few weeks ago.

.

.

That winter stroll lasted all of two minutes. His Lordship does not like cold feet. 🥶

If you’re a vinyl collector like me, you’ve flipped through endless stacks of records in flea markets and antique stores looking for an elusive LP. More often than not what you find is Herb Alpert. Specifically, the Whipped Cream album. Seriously, it’s everywhere.

If you can relate to that frustration, this next bit is for you.

.

.

Lord Dudley likes to watch television. And the other night he came running into the living when he heard a bald eagle screech.

.

.

To say he was fascinated is an understatement.

.

.

No. Just… no.

I love my margaritas but refuse to add beets.

Blech!

🤢

Misspellings annoy me. Which is why I joined a funny group on Facebook called the Grammar Police where people share photos of grammatical blunders.

I posted this recently.

.

It was immediately removed.

.

.

I thought it was funny.

Apparently, they didn’t.

Snow memories.

24 Comments

,

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…

26 Comments

.

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.
