As I’m sure you’ve all seen, there was a rambunctious raccoon in Virginia recently.
.
.
And I have to admit, I felt for the little guy.
.
.
While I’ve never broken into an actual liquor store, I’ve definitely over imbibed and paid the price.
.
.
This fellows escapades made good copy and soon after the story was everywhere….
.
.
And while the story itself was funny, the aftermath made me laugh as well.
.
.
I so need this shirt.
.
.
🤣
.
.
That seems harsh.
.
.
At all.
Ever.
.
.
I don’t think the low brain activity of a Kardashian even qualifies as news.
.
.
I didn’t think that was possible.
Though I swear I’ve come close a few times myself.
.
.
Can’t say I’d recommend that DIY.
.
.
Say it isn’t so Teddy.
.
.
Toys have certainly changed since I was a child.
😳
.
.
I call foul.
The boxes and labels? Sure. But what’s inside the bottle… no.
.
.
The thought of being “nudified” and spread across the internet?
Terrifying.
.
.
A portrait of His Royal Highness.
.
.
Cats are such regal creatures.
.
.
I did not know.
And honestly, I wish I still didn’t.
.
.
Sunrise.
.
.
Proof that sometimes it is worth getting up early.
.
.
Quintessential Maine.
🤣

I bought Lord Dudley Mountcatten a fleece pad because he’s always looking for warmth.
He found part of it…
.
.
While antique shopping with the husband recently, I realized our woodchucks are just phoning it in. None of ours bring me flowers.
.
.
Yes.
This (slightly used) stripper pole was for sale.
No.
We didn’t purchase it.
🥴
.
.
It’s quick and painless. And you can’t say that about much else these days.
.
.
I’m a white wine drinker all the way.
And it’s not just a slight preference, because for some bizarre reason the taste of red literally makes me gag. I absolutely can’t stand it, never could.
How about you?
Red or white.
.
.
.
A friend and I spent the day thrifting recently… which is always good for a laugh.
.
.
These are definitely not bunion friendly.
.
.
What the…
What?
.
.
There will be no cooking in our garage. Gourmet, or otherwise.
.
.
Mark, this one’s for you.
Hide your treasure here. No one will ever want to open it except you.
😉
.
.
I’m at a loss with this one.
Anyone want to guess what it could have been?
The price was $1.99, if that helps.
🥴
.
Because everyone needs more maps.
.
.
Maine is clearly Team Cat.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten approves.
.
.
Well done Colorado.
Though the fact that there’s a CDC Surveillance System tracking these stats has me a bit worried.
.
.
How do you say pecan?
I’m in a green area but pronounce it more like the blue people do.
.
.
This definitely puts it in perspective.
.
.
Poetry in Stephen King country?
I call foul.
.
.
Maine does indeed celebrate Patriot’s Day.
.
.
If they’re red, I’m doomed.
But we feed the greys well and could probably survive the squirrel apocalypse.
.
.
My husband had to take a few things to the dump recently, and you know what happens when he does that.
Our “dump” is more of a recycling center… complete with a gift shop where everything is free, and there in lies the problem.
.
.
He came home with a table and chairs.
.
.
Do we need a table and chairs from the dump?
We do not.
.
.
But my husband couldn’t resist bringing it home and fixing it up to sell.
.
.
He cleaned, he polished, he tightened, he glued.
.
.
I told him to recover the horrible (plastic? vinyl?) seats but that was a bridge too far.
.
.
So now there’s a table and chair set clogging up the man cave/Barn Mahal.
.
.
Sigh…
🥴
.
.
My bots seem to have departed the pattern but I thought I’d share one more old post from when I first started on WordPress.
This one has to do with blogging itself and contains a little River history.
.
.
The blogging life.
.
😊
.
.
The temperatures are dropping in Maine and our backyard visitors are feeling it.
.
.
They’re also probably feeling like they’re being watched…
.
.
Because they are.
Quite regularly.
.
.
I saw this and thought, damn. Our raccoons are total slackers.
.
.
Seriously, all ours do is eat and poo… and occasionally knock over the bird bath.
.
.
We don’t have kids, so I’d better get to work on our trash pandas.
.
.
Sunrise…
With cat.
.
.
Squirrel, defying gravity.
.
.
Yes, you.
.
.
Our one little opossum, who only shows up at night.
.
.
We’ve had a banner crop of grey squirrels this year.
.
.
I know people hate them because they eat the bird seed, but I love watching their acrobatics.
,
.
And they can shimmy up a pole faster than any stripper.
.
.
Our guys are well fed.
.
.
And don’t even bother burying anything for winter.
.
.
😊

River's world.....
