Too cold for the pets

Even the animals are freezing..

Did not take Oliver long... before he headed back inside

Miss P did not mind it so much...

It's just December, but I am ready for summer!

Burrrr... my thin Florida blood cannot take much more of this..

Not to mention ...I really have no clue how to deal with snow and frozen roads...?

A Chimney Swift

Greetings,

Had a bird fly down the chimney.

Opened all the doors on the 2nd floor.

Tried to shoo the bird out the door.

Dog and cat following said bird everywhere.

Bird flies downstairs.

Lose sight of bird.

Hours later ... find bird.

Dead.  In the floor.

Have no one to get bird out of house...

Go to bed.

Wake up with dead bed still in living room floor.

Tell the dog to take the bird outside... she thinks she is in trouble and goes to her time-out spot.

Feel ridiculous about needing to call someone to extricate a dead bird out of my house...

Use the dust pan... close my eyes... hum to myself....

Scoop up bird... open back door... toss bird outside.

All while eyes tightly shut.


Poor bird.


Urghh...

Where is Harry when you need him?


Blessings,

Fox and the Hound

Greetings,

Young Tod: “Copper, you're my best friend.” 

Young Copper: “And you're mine too, Tod.” 

Young Tod: “And we'll always be friends forever. Won't we?” 

Young Copper: “Yeah, forever.” 

They are not the Fox and the hound, but some days .... I wonder?

I think we are all missing Harry right about now!

Blessings,

Work..?

Greetings,

Not sure if this should be called work for him...

Form airplanes to tanks...I think Harry likes Big toys..?


Blessings and be safe,

Thanksgiving recap

Greetings,


Some friends I decided....


to head up to New York City for the Macy's Day Parade...

Not a traditional thanksgiving.... but the Cantonese noodles from Chinatown were delicious!


Blessings of Thankfulness,

Thanksgiving

New York ....

here we come!

Bring on the Macy's Day parade!


Blessings,

Fire in the Hole

Greetings,

While sitting at the computer...

I heard this irritating and deafening squealing sound .  The sound of a smoke detector at full blast.

As I round the corner, I see a flaming toaster inches from the new cabinets.  Instinctively, I unplug the toaster and try to blow out the flames.

When this fails....

I toss it outside on the porch steps...

as the wind picks up... (and I have time to grab a camera) the flames continue

So ...

I kick the toaster down the steps and into the yard.

Time to add a new toaster to the Christmas wish list!


Blessings,
