Not Nice Mother Nature!

And it's back to cold paws for my morning constitutional.

Ah-h-h-h Spring

Our two per year Crocus are blooming.  More evidence our thumbs are far from "green".  

Why aren't you still sleeping?

Apparently the local bear family has emerged from their den hungry and decided to pay a visit to our backyard feeder.

Where is the front yard????

     Hey Mom!  How is I gonna do my business?  How do I get to my tree? 

The cutlet that refused to be Cordon Bleu

Gizzysmom did a silly thing tonight and ended up saying a lot of bad words.  She thawed out 2 Purdue individually wrapped chicken breasts to make Cordon Bleu for supper.  Supper's gonna be late though because we have to quick thaw one more breast.  This is what we have so far ... one lonely cutlet.

When Gizzysmom opened the package, she opened it over the sink.  Big mistake!  BIG MISTAKE!  As soon as she got that package open and pulled out the cutlet, that sneaky chicken wiggled right out of her hand and guess where it went?  Right down this hole is where!  RIGHT DOWN.  Whoosh, it was GONE!  Then Gizzysmom turned on the Grrrrrrinder to get it out of the pipe and wash it away.

OH BOY!  You've maybe never heard such words.  The air turned so blue, Pawpa came running from the other room.  Pawpa said she should've let him try to retrieve it and then what she said was "EWWWWW!". In the end, Gizzysmom had Pawpa get another one out of the freezer and she quickly thawed it out so they could finally eat.  This is how it looked when it was ... FINALLY ... done.

Shades of Winter

The Perfect Home Accessory

Or Not ....

The water company is looking for our water connection in the back of the house so they can connect us to the new water main in the front of the house.  The guys have a few days off for an extended Thanksgiving weekend.  They'll be back bright and early Monday morning (7:30AM) to resume digging.  (Guess we won't be sleeping late Monday.)

Happy Thanksgiving!
