Momma Chuck birthed them and nursed them…
.

.
But now that they’re eating the same solid food ?
.

.
She’s not sharing with them.
.
.
Motherhood has its limits.
.

.
🤣

Some friends invited us out to dinner and a show on the coast recently.
.

.
Location: The Taste of Maine. Home to the world’s largest inflatable lobster.
It’s a large family run seafood restaurant beloved by tourists but considered over rated and overpriced by us locals.
.

.
Our meal was just that, underwhelming and not worth the cost.
.

.
The show was upstairs and packed to capacity. It featured Bob Marley, a local comedian who sells out everywhere he appears.
To be honest, he’s not my cup of tea. The humor is low brow with too much emphasis on pooping and farting for my taste.
.

.
But our friends love him and were nice enough to pay for our tickets so we couldn’t refuse.
To each their own.
He’s just not for me.
I didn’t video any of the performance, but here’s an example of his style.
.
.
.
As reported the other day, husband still had half a pile of pea gravel left over from his filling project.
.

.
Not wanting it to kill his carefully tended lawn, he planned to distribute it around our culverts the next day.
.

.
So of course, it rained.
.

.
Which didn’t deter my husband.
.

.
Back and forth, from one end of our property to the other.
.

.
Soaking wet..
.

.
He could have waited until it stopped.
He could have…
.
.
Because I can’t stop sharing this cute little guy.
.

.
That one is for Suz.
.

.
I’ll take a dozen.
.

.
They do exist!
.

.
Now those are some pearly whites.
.

.
Cheeky little devil.
❤️
.
.
Siblings don’t always get along.
Or so I’ve heard.
.

.
Clearly this goes for baby woodchucks as well as humans.
.
.
Momma Chuck doesn’t intervene.
.

.
And beats feet when things get too rowdy.
.

.
❤️
.
.
Because I excel at useless.
.

.
Mount Erebus in Antarctica. We have a friend who was stationed there in the Navy. Better bring a coat.
.

.
You mean Pink Floyd lied to us all this time….
🥺
.

.
I have to admit even I’d never heard of this one.
.

.
Maybe that 38 year old should hook up with the mid 20’s woman. No memory, no foul.
.

.
Worst.
Tattoos.
Ever…..
.

.
This is disturbing in so many ways.
There’s nothing in the world I’d rather do than have one more conversation with my late father. But a creepy AI version? No thank you.
Or as Robin so succinctly put it…
.

.
👍
.
.
Poor Momma Chuck has her hands paws full with five babies.
.

.
Teaching them to be self sufficient and take advantage of the daily buffet we lay out is exhausting.
.

.
More often than not she beats them to it and gobbles everything up before they wander over.
.

.
Momma needs nourishment and strength.
.

.
As well as a decent support bra.
.

.
What does she think of the local paparazzi?
.

.
This.
🤣
.
.
It seems my husband misjudged how much pea gravel he would need.
.

.
4 yards was ordered and roughly two was used.
.

.
The poor man loaded and dumped and spread for days.
.

.
I honestly don’t know where he gets the energy or how he has the stamina at his age.
.

.
I’m 16 years younger and it wears me out just watching.
.

.
Viola!
Level ground… even though it may not look like it in the photo.
.

.
Of course now there’s the question of what to do with the rest of the fill pile that wasn’t needed.
It’s way over here…
So maybe we’ll worry about that tomorrow.
🥴

Do you like gathering friends and family for a good old fashioned game night? Board games, card games, games of skill, games of chance … it doesn’t matter, they’re all fun.
And the best part? You can still take part even after you’re dead.
.

.
Brilliant!
.

.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten is a daddy’s boy. Oh, he tolerates me because I’m the opener of cans and the sifter of poop but it’s my husband he follows from room to room and sleeps with at night. This allegiance also holds sway over freshly folded laundry.
.

.
He curls up on my husband’s.
Never mine.
.

.
A new Sopranos series?
I’m in!
.

.
I can honestly say I’ve never wanted to play ball more in my life.
.

.
#1 mistake?
Eating it. 🤢
(Sorry Mark)
.
.
Momma Chuck is bringing her young ones out from under the barn on daily foraging trips.
.

.
So naturally I sit on the barn porch and entice them with apple chunks.
.

.
One brave little fella gets closer than the rest.
.

.
He’s so sweet!
.

.
Yes, they’re flower munching machines…
.

.
But they’re also too cute to stay angry at for long.
💕
