Every morning for the past week I’ve woken up to honking. Not inner city traffic and pissed off commuters, but honking all the same.
.
.
Canada geese are on their way north, and the river behind our house is a veritable goose super highway. No need for an alarm clock when these fellows are overhead…. they’re loud!
.
.
Large groups and small, for the first hour after dawn the sky is full of travelers.
.
.
A raucous and sure sign spring is on the way.
.

Another post about possible Vermont accommodations appeared on my feed today. Clearly, the state misses us.
.
.
And while I love the idea of staying in a romantic little treehouse ….
.
.
I admit the first thing that went through my mind was damn, that’s positively asking for a red squirrel invasion. So, hard pass from me.
.
.
I’d surely have nightmares.
.

Black Bacon.
Now that’s a kick ass band name if ever I heard one.
How about you?
.
.
The husband and I tried a relatively new restaurant/pub last week.
.
.
And from the quality of their cocktails, I see a return trip in our future.
.
.
The snow covered cranberry was delightful.
.
.
As was the gin sipper, but it was this sign that got my husband’s attention.
.
.
Now that’s a great idea, and clearly quite popular.
When our spinach flatbread appetizer came out to the table without the aforementioned spinach? The owner immediately came over and said a replacement was being made which he would box up for us take home, free. As was the fabulous error flatbread we were already halfway through. And when he saw my husband’s USMC hat? The beer was free as well. I could get used to this place.

A fried haddock sandwich with dill aioli and a harvest salad with blackened chicken later, we were replete. After tipping large and dropping $10 on the bar to pay for a couple of veteran’s beers later… we walked out past this.
.
.
Clearly there’s a history of service at this restaurant/pub.
.
.
And while I’m not a religious person, I do appreciate the honor paid to our veterans.

Have you ever seriously thought about dung? I can’t say I have, but clearly someone is taking note.
.
.
Counting poop pellets? Well, everyone needs a hobby.
.
.
I only have one word for that revelation….
Wow.
.
.
While this graphic of weaponized coconuts is disturbing, one has to wonder why the cartoon father has grabbed mom, stolen junior’s lollipop and left junior to fend for himself.
.
.
I know age has widened my circumference. I feel ya tree.
.
.
Frass. A great word, but as any serious Scrabble player knows…. not worth wasting two S’s. I shall instead whip kerf out on my unsuspecting husband this weekend. K and F? Now you’re talking.

After the visiting the first Duluth Trading Post to open in the state of Maine a while back, I admit I wasn’t impressed. Turns out I am even less impressed with their product descriptions online.
.
.
Even if true, that’s lazy marketing.
.
.
Tactical soap? It must be going to war with your armpits…
.
.
One roll of toilet paper in a box does not a kit make.
.
.
That’s a bridge too far. Bitchin’ is about the only thing I do well these days.
.
.
When the herd shows up early, before we’ve put out the nightly snack?
.
.
Raiding the bird feeders is the next best thing.
.
.
And if you’ve ever wondered why they’re called white tailed deer?
.
.
That’s why.
.
.
Hey lady…. it’s time for dinner.
.
.
This week’s headlines are a tad disturbing.
.
.
That doesn’t sound good.
.
.
Dust has always been problem in our house, but unless the scientists are armed with giant Swiffers I don’t really see how they can help.
.
.
I’m often surprised by my bar tab, but probably not for the same reasons they are.
.
.
While I have no problem with spiders and actually find them quite fascinating, I’m sure this little tidbit will have some of you quaking in fright. Have fun with that.
.

There’s a page you can follow on Facebook called “Only In …”. It profiles restaurants, resorts, scenic hikes and fun places to visit in whatever state you choose. I’ve found quite a few hidden treasures in Maine this way… but now Vermont is bootlegging my feed in an attempt to lure us over the border again.
.
.
Hmmm..
.
.
Staying in a Hobbit house sounds interesting, and the view is lovely.
.
.
I wonder if there’s a height limit.
.
.
As if cats aren’t goofy enough, there’s this…
.
.
Weed bubbles? Lord Dudley Mountcatten gets crazy on catnip as it is, I have no desire to up the ante.
.
.
A friend of ours just drove his RV down to Florida. It almost bankrupted him.
.
.
Seriously? I could barely fit my luggage in there.
.
.
There are lots of horrible things to see on the internet, This ranks right near the top.
So wrong.
🥴

River's world.....
