They say everyone has a twin.
A double.
A doppelgänger.
Last week I received a text from an old friend of mine down south who said she’d found my alter ego while watching television.
.
.
The photos aren’t great quality as they were taken of the tv screen…
.
.
But clearly this other version of me is not living their best life.
🤣
.
.
We live in Maine, ergo we watch (and love) the Red Sox.
But it seems like we’re not the only species to do so.
.
.
This was the scene at a recent game. And in typical nothing bothers New Englanders fashion, play continued even though a pair of mallard ducks had landed right in the middle of Fenway Park.
.
.
Being Boston fowl, they made themselves at home in the outfield, munching grass and doing what ducks are apt to do.
Poop.
.
.
But hey, the Sox won the game… so no one was complaining.
.
.
Useless, but addicting… no?
.
.
This is the very definition of useless news.
.
.
See? You could have gone all day without knowing that.
.
.
I think the cross makes this outfit. Nothing like piety like a good circumboob.
.
.
If you’re going to lay out a veritable plant buffet, you have to expect random nibblers.
.
.
I, on the other hand… do not.
.
.
Adhesive?
And it sticks to… what?
Hard pass.
.
.
Critters be multiplying here at Casa River.
.
.
Along with some green grass comes another woodchuck.
.
.
I believe that’s the old momma from previous years at the dish.
.
.
She has some distinctive scars on her face and has been calling our backyard home for the past four years.
.
.
Must be last season’s baby to the left.
.
.
I’m not a fan of electric cars.
I’m not a fan of Elon Musk.
And you’ll never see me driving a Tesla. Which, after reading this article makes me twice as glad.
.
.
No one wants that.
Trust me.
.
.
This is beyond disturbing.
.
.
The AI revolution is bad enough… but now the cars are spying on us and pushing porn?
Stop the world. I want to get off.

After cleaning and organizing our master bath closet the other day, I turned my attention to the the spare bathroom. I don’t know about you, but in our house that’s where everything we don’t know what else to do with lands. I pulled vases, and candle sticks, and pitchers, a footed glass bowl and yes, even a crock pot out of there.
What that left me with was this…
.
.
And by this I mean 10 bottles of Mrs. Meyers soap.
.
.
Yes 10.
As well as 11 more bars of soap… to go with the 15 I’d found the other day.
😳
I haven’t yet decided if we’re extremely clean or extremely dirty. But if it’s the latter?
God damn it, we’re ready.
.
.
A bonus find was 3 bottles of Jo Malone perfume.
Proof positive it pays to clean.
.
.
Why did I join a wombat lovers Facebook group?
.
.
Because I like having my feed flooded with pictures like these.
.
.
If they supplant the politics and constant social discourse?
.
.
That’s fine with me.
.
.
The world needs less hatred…
.
.
And more wombats.
💕
.
.
Red squirrel annihilation training began the other day and I have to say…
It did not go well.
.
.
After a few half hearted swats,
.
.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten made friends.
.
.
And in true I’m not doing what you want because I’m a cat fashion…
.
.
The beast actually stared out the window at the real red squirrel …
.
.
With a stuffed red squirrel facsimile on his head.
Sigh.
.
.
Because there’s so much of it.
.
.
12 feet of kale?
I’m going to have nightmares about that.
.
.
After cleaning and organizing the closet in our master bath, I figure it will be a while before I need to buy certain products. 4 bottles of toothpaste, 6 bottles of Bath and Body Works lotion, 7 sticks of deodorants and 15 bars of soap of later I realized I may need to organize more often.
.
.
Best. Display. Container. Ever.
Or worst. It’s a tough call.
.
.
Even bees need bouncers.
Who knew?
.
.
Woke up to this the other morning.
.
.
And I have to admit, colorful sunrises never get old.
.
.
Our one chuck is still visiting daily looking for treats.
.
.
Apples and carrots are his (her?) favorite.

River's world.....
