Canadian funnies, ice fishing fabulousness and a dump run I told you so.

.

I’ve never been to Canada but am well acquainted with their geese.

.

.

Seriously, these birds don’t play.

.

.

We love the noisy little devils and see them often in our part of Maine.

.

.

Because honestly, who needs ICE when you have geese?

A photo of our local ice fishing camp at sunset.

I have no desire to sit on a stool in a frozen shack and stare at a hole in the ice waiting for tiny, oily smelt to swim by, but it’s hard to argue with the optics.

.

.

Okay, I admit it. My husband came home from the “gift store” … aka the dump… with a treasure.

.

.

A brand new Star Wars Death Star cheese cutting set that we’re going to give to a friend who’s obsessed with the movies.

.

.

$86 at Macy’s and the husband got it for free.

He was grinning from ear to ear…. while I was horrified at the dangerous precedent this is going to set.

🥴

.

Deer. And yes, more deer…

.

We have a herd every night.

.

.

And they’re always a joy to watch.

.

.

The clunk that makes them scatter in this video was a male cardinal slamming into the glass on our kitchen porch.

.

.

Thankfully he was just dazed and flew off shortly after.

.

.

The harem master.

Dusted with snow during a storm.

.

.

Sadly the little plum tree we planted two years ago is tasty.

.

.

And loses a lot of lower branches in the winter.

.

.

🥴

.

Cabbage knees, chicken soup and lickable elements.

.

Fat shaming is wrong.

Even if it’s directed towards those of feline persuasion.

.

.

Poor Fred.

I feel you buddy.

💕

Since I posted about my knee troubles two weeks ago? I’ve been inundated with ads for bamboo wraps, pain creams and Velcro braces.

But yesterday?

Things went a little south..

.

.

For the record I won’t be wrapping myself in cabbage… no matter how blog worthy the photos might be.

.

.

Our buck, having dinner.

.

.

He still has his rack, which is rather odd.

.

.

But it does make him easier to identify.

.

.

Posted for those who have always wondered.

.

.

After too many awful internet crock pot recipes to count, I finally found a good one. This was easy and quite tasty, though I had to leave out the red pepper flakes for my spice averse spouse. When I make it again I’m going to halve the amount of chicken, once shredded it was a little too meaty for me.

.

.

In case you didn’t realize.

😊

.

Smile, and the world smiles with you.

.

Our snow melted for a while this month and it made a nice background for portraits of our resident buck.

.

.

He’s a big fella with a nice size and shape.

.

.

Though his rack is a little squirrelly.

.

.

It’s hard to tell if he’s an 8 or 9 pointer as his angles are all over the place.

.

.

But I love his little white striped feet.

.

.

And his smile of course.

We can all use more of those these days.

😊

.

Random rambling.

.

The husband and I celebrated our 42nd wedding anniversary recently… and there were flowers.

.

.

We’re lucky to have a wonderful local florist just a few miles from our house.

.

.

Or should I say I’m lucky, as the husband is rarely able to forget special occasions.

Our florist posts pictures of the arrangements she makes every week on Facebook and this recent customized request for a chef made me smile.

.

.

How clever is that?

👍

.

.

As seen at the grocery store.

Makes me wonder how spicy this product has to be to warrant such a violent response.

.

.

Enough said.

🤣

.

.

We’ve been having a strange influx of evening gtosbeaks recently. They visit in large groups and are quite a dramatic sight.

.

.

Cold?

Yes, it’s been cold.

.

.

Though you wouldn’t know it by the Juncos. The snow doesn’t seem to bother them at all.

Brr!

❄️
