Outside = mostly done

We had the City of Lake Forest park out watching the window and door installs today. What a bunch of donkeys turtles –

 

They watched and waited for me to fall afoul of the rules, but  alas, I didn’t even know the rules. Nor how to break them.

Good turtles, now back to work…..

Suumertime

First full day of Summer, and we get a healthy dose of this –

 

You won’t hear me complaining though. Bonus, it should make the gardening work (weeding) tomorrow, that much easier.

So long as he’s outside,

I’m cool. He can make his house and hang out by the pond all day if that’s what he wants. He ventures inside, and he’s gonna get eaten by Hopps, or squished by Nike. So long as he’s outside while eating his dinner –

He’s just a little guy

About the size of a jawbreaker –

He’s the first of the year. Hopefully he’ll encourage all the others to come out soon. Then maybe they’ll all grow up nice and big. So we can make them into apple-butter.

It was a dark and stormy night

That’s how Snoopy started all of his writings. I imagine it looked like this –

 

Well, maybe without the rainbow, and thunder and lightning stuff instead?

Yes, it’s still raining around here. No, it’s not going to stop this week. Summer will get here when it’s good and ready. We’ll have to be patient. And make do with the rainbows.

A tale of two cats

Could they be more different? I doubt it. Subject 1 (Felix) hasn’t a care in the world –

 

Why should he? He’s a cat, taking his 5:30 nap. Other than food, what more could he want?

Subject 2 (Lily, aka NutJob, aka Psycho……) Is hiding in plain sight in a closet because I have that stupid camera thing out and am trying to take her photo –

Doesn’t she just look THRILLED? I think I saw her lips mouth out the words, ‘I’m gonna poop in your sneaker for this.’

Silly cats.

Chicken sitting

The neighbors are off to Italy, and the chickens were not happy about getting cooped up for the night. This one in particular was being a bit difficult –

 

We outsmarted her though. Humans 1, chickens 0

Updated tally to come…..

A story of failure

Last month, I put this into Guy’s sled –

It was supposed to be the last one ever needed –

Not sure why –

It is a very dark and sordid tale, that can only get worse. Moral to the story? Do NOT replace Subaru starter motors with rebuilt in Mexico junk, or you will be doing it again a month later.

Something about shoveling the same dirt twice and all that…..

School that is –

Pretty amazing!

We’ll talk about this later.

I love you.

So the neighbors called

They wanted to thank us for returning their chickens. “Sure thing, no problem, happy to do it…..”

Linda insisted on bringing us something for our trouble. “OK, fair enough, see you in a few minutes….”, I said.

She brought us –

Then the chatter started; They’re going on their honeymoon next week; Do you need someone to look after the chickens?; We would love to; Easy-peasy, lemon squeezy….

Starting Wednesday, we’re babysitting the neighbor’s chickens. What fun!
