And once you read them you’ll realize how little you care…..

I’m sure you could have gone all day with out hearing that, but since I hate nuts anyway? It strengthens my resolve that peanut butter is disgusting.

Yeah.

Enjoy that sandwich now.

I dare you.

I had to do a little research on this one because I grew up adoring Ted.

Sadly, he’s wasn’t always the sweet cuddly children’s author we imagined.

But I still love the Lorax, sorry Helen.

Asbestos snow…

What could go wrong?

IMG_E3170

True.

And quite bizarre…

Well, we could all use a little more protein in our diets.

People are allergic to cochineal insects?

How would they know? I didn’t even realize there was such a thing.

IMG_E3165

Okay, I agree…. that really would have sucked.

And finally, because men aren’t filled with enough penile insecurities as it is.

Sorry guys.

Penis envy is a horrible thing.

P.S. ….. When I woke up and checked WP on my phone this morning? My reader preview made me do a double take.

Damn.

The porn spammers will be back any day now.

Things I like today… Part 7

I like…

This tee shirt I picked up at Goodwill the other day.

If my husband would just follow this one simple rule, life would be so much more pleasant.

I like…

The new yellow kiwi fruit.

Have you tried them?

Yum!

I like….

The Annual Damariscotta PumpkinFest Regatta.

(And you thought we only raced zucchini in Maine. Pfft!)

But this year, I really like the pumpkin they’re using to advertise it.

I like…

Finding multiple praying mantises (manti?) on the baby barn we’re remodeling.

Did you know the female praying mantis bites off her partner’s head after sex?

Clearly she’s a woman who doesn’t like to cuddle.

I like…

Apple season.

Our trees are loaded with juicy fruit…

And soon my belly will be full of juicy pie and fritters.

And then there were bugs…..

Day 5.

(Only 2 more Berkshire vacation days to go. There will be an end… eventually. I promise.)

Destination? An indoor conservation garden filled with wonderful (and sometimes creepy crawling) things.

But first we had to get there.

We passed beautiful stone churches…

The ever present windmills…

And a very strange breed of Berkshire deer.

If you use Apple maps navigation like we do, you know that SIRI can put you on some very out of the way routes to cut 35 seconds off your arrival time. This trip was no exception.

If that bitch directs you to take the Quarry Road up and over the mountain?

Do. Not. Go.

Calling it a road is a stretch, as it got narrower and narrower until it was nothing but a dirt trail. I stopped photographing shortly after that pic was taken because it was rutted, slippery with mud and about 4 inches wide. My fingernails were too busy digging ruts into the dashboard to operate the camera.
