Pickles, rural life and backyard critters.

I like a good kosher dill with my sandwich now and then but I don’t actively search for the them on the internet… so why does my FB algorithm kick into high pickle gear every now and then?

.

.

I’m passing on the pickle minions.

.

.

And flights are for beer! Or occasionally, margaritas.

No pickles required.

.

.

Pickle slush?

Hard pass, no matter how cute the glass.

.

.

I will not.

.

.

Yay for me, I guess.

.

.

You know the seafood is fresh when…

🤣

.

.

Cow patty bingo without a cow? Where’s the fun in that…

.

.

A few weeks ago our lawn was a lush green…

.

.

And a veritable wildlife bonanza showed up for a nosh.

.

.

The gang was all there.

April Fools! But not…

24 Comments

Two things happened yesterday that should have been April Fools Day pranks but weren’t.

First… we had our taxes done. This is always cause for mutual grumbling and groaning because we never see a refund and always pay, pay, pay.

So when the preparer tallied everything up and handed us this?

.

.

We were stunned.

Yes, it cost us $410 to find out, but … refunds! Not one, but two. We almost fell off our chairs.

It was also the first time my husband had to admit that this full time retirement thing might not be so bad.

😉

.

The second thing that I was sure was a prank was this…

.

.

Okay Oreo, ha ha. Funny joke.

But no….

They actually sold this monstrosity.

.

.

For one day only. On April 1st.

.

.

.

Blech!

.

.

A complete abomination and one that is sure to kick my dormant pickle algorithm into high gear.

Sigh.

Interspecies dining.

It’s a thing.

.

.

Enough with the pickles.

.

.

I swear all I have to do is type the word here and they show up everywhere.

.

.

Blech!

.

.

The recent wildfires in Canada gave us hazy skies and some eerie sunsets.

.

That abomination must be destroyed.

😳

.

.

I really need to separate this line of hostas next spring.

.

.

The bloom is pretty and the bees love it…

.

.

But they’re getting a tad out of control.

Because my life is full of it.

.

Geesh, it’s hard enough to win a championship when you’re deaf… but dead?

That’s seriously impressive.

.

.

In case you were wondering.

.

.

Ugh.

The pickle algorithm has struck again.

.

.

Substitute cat for dog at this point, but the sentiment is the same.

.

.

It takes a lickin’ and keeps on tickin’.

.

.

Maybe Star Trek was onto something.

Long live Veeger.

Miscellaneous nonsense.

I don’t know why, but it seems my pickle algorithms have been reactivated.

.

.

Ugh.

Keep your briny spears out of my bread!

.

.

Someone bought this at Goodwill and while I thought it must have been a joke, turns out it wasn’t. The horror really exists.

“Yes, Vlasic and the candle brand Candier have partnered on a 100-percent wax candle that looks like a real jar of Vlasic Original Dill Wholes and smells, well, like a real jar of Vlasic Original Dill Wholes. “It was a no-brainer for us,” 

🤢

.

.

Because some of you are going to be covered in crunchy protein very soon.

Bon appetit!

.

.

I have a jade plant that is now covered in white spots. They’re not bugs or moldy powder that can be wiped off, but are imbedded in the leaves themselves. Anyone have a clue what’s going on?

.

.

It seems my husband chose well when purchasing our new toaster.

🤣

A whole lotta nothing in particular.

Let’s take a look at what’s been clogging up my photo files.

.

.

My pickle algorithm has been on vacation lately, but this showed up the other day. I was hoping it was a joke… but sadly it does exist.

.

.

I totally need this. And actually already have a little makeup case like the one in her left hand. Unfortunately mine is a lovely shade of mustard instead of green.

.

.

This poem always gets me.

😰

.

.

From my local FB page.

.

.

Never a dull moment here.

.

.

One thousand and two uses.

.

.

These aren’t my pictures but they were taken in Maine and are too fabulous not to share.

.

.

I’ve never seen a sunrise or sunset like this.

.

.

There’s probably a meteorological term for it, but all I can say is… wow.

I really wanted it to be true…

Of all the awful real life pickle abominations my algorithms make me view, I finally found one worth my time.

.

.

The Pickle Sisters!

.

.

This was just silly enough to be true…they didn’t call them the roaring twenties without reason…. but sadly it wasn’t. Further research showed it to be a complete fallacy.

Very disappointing, that.

I mean, look how beautiful they are in technicolor.
