The final sightings.

.

We haven’t seen a woodchuck for weeks now.

.

.

And while my flower gardens are sighing in relief…

.

.

I have to admit I miss the fat little buggers.

( note – spellcheck always changes buggers to nuggets… and is that really better? )

.

.

It’s ironic that now the ground is littered with apples from our trees, the apple munchers have left the building.

.

.

This is the fourth year in a row we’ve had a woodchuck family move in.

.

.

So I guess we’ll say so long chuckers.

( which spellcheck changes to chiclets every damn time )

.

.

See you next year.

.

Random nonsense

.

While I’ve been known to enjoy some oddly flavored beer …

.

.

That’s a hearty no from me. Pretzels belong in a bowl on the bar… to make you thirsty for more beer… not in the bottle you’re drinking. Blech!

For the first time in over a year, I lost a game of Scrabble to my husband. But in my defense?

.

.

Even Noah Webster would have a hard time with those letters.

.

.

We had a nice rain storm pass through recently so the husband and I took to the barn porch with adult beverages. He was interested to see if his leaky gutter repair worked ( it did ) and if his strategically placed rock ( which I told him was too small ) would protect the lawn from a rain induced pothole. ( it partially did )

.

.

And in case you’re wanting a piece of jewelry to commemorate the shit show of the last year?

I have just the thing.

.

.

You’re welcome.

.

A little backyard color.

.

I’m going to bore you with more autumn photos.

.

.

Because even walking around the backyard is lovely during this season.

.

.

Blueberry bushes aren’t very attractive most of the year, but the red is pretty striking now.

.

.

And you’ll be happy to know the un-manning of the man cave porch continues… with 5 chrysanthemums and two pumpkins complementing the wreath.

.

.

Apples?

.

.

Our trees are bursting with more than we can use. But why are the best ones always so damned high up?

.

It’s that time of the month again….

.

Good grief, no. Not that.

I’m talking about this time of the month:

.

.

The oh shit, hasn’t that gift subscription expired yet time of the month.

.

.

And as usual, the articles are of the highest journalistic integrity.

.

.

Doesn’t seem like such a glamorous job now does it.

The latest trend in eye makeup is now on my things I never need to try because they’re stupid list.

.

.

And because it’s apparently mandatory in every issue..

.

.

Sex.

And while I’m decidedly pro sex, I think these helpful hints leave a lot to be desired.

.

.

I can pretty much guarantee I want to wank your knob are six words that will never be uttered in our bedroom.

.

.

No.

Mr. Cuddles will never be put in a compromising position. Especially that one.

.

.

That’s just wrong.

.

The last of the chucks.

.

The woodchucks have left the building.

.

.

After momma chuck and her spring brood of voracious garden nibblers cut a swath of destruction through my flower gardens this spring….

.

.

And fattened up quickly at our all you can eat buffet this summer….

.

.

They have now moved on to where ever the hell it is woodchucks go in the fall.

.

.

And all I’m left with is empty flower pots and leftover photos to sort through.

😊

They’re all heart.

.

I’m not a fan of artichokes. I mean really, who has the time?

But I am a fan of the Jerusalem artichokes our farming neighbor across the road grows every year.

.

.

Because when they blossom in the fall?

They are a seriously impressive sight.

.

.

Human in far left corner for scale.

.

.

When your flowers tower over the harvesting truck?

That’s a damned impressive bloom.
