The view from the couch. Mambo up high!

I was trying to get a good picture of Sashay, and Mambo (left) and Tango had to come see what was going on.

Mirror, mirror on the floor… “HELLO, good-looking!” says Tango.

“You’re kinda cute,” Flamenco says.

“This mirror is terribly smudged,” says ChaCha. (I swear it was clean when I put it on the floor!)

Sashay was too busy sitting in the box havin’ a think to come see the mirror.

Flamenco and Mambo, hanging out on the curvy shelf.

The bird feeder outside my office window is getting a lot of bluebirds recently.

So pretty! (Yes, the outside of the window is dirty. I’m aware.)

“NO ROOM FOR SPARROWS ON THIS FEEDER!”

Throw Back Thursday: permanent resident Archie, in 2015.

“Are you sure they said 11:00? I don’t see anything in there but a roasting pan. Are we too early?”
(That picture was taken back in 2009, the first and last year we ever raised turkeys. I always say that God created chickens and then he said “Huh. I wonder if I could make something dumber than a chicken” and VOILA.)

Throw Back Thursday: Sammy Samarium in 2021.

Throw Back Thursday: Permanent resident Newt, in 2021. Happy Thanksgiving!

Throw Back Thursday: Permanent resident Frankie in 2017. (Good night innernets!)

Turkeys: not so dumb. Check out “My Life as a Turkey” documentary, on YouTube. I think you’ll like it.
Happy Post Thanksgiving to all!!!
I’ve got a question about that bird feeder. I LOVE having one, but our neighborhood is Squirrel Central so squirrel-proof feeders are mandatory. And they’re a pain in the ass. Would you describe your feeder (which is cute as can be) as being a challenge for those rodent industry scam artists? (Seriously, just slap some fur on a rat’s tail and now we’re all OH, AREN’T THEY CUUUUUUUUTE????)
Nope, that feeder is not at ALL squirrel-proof. The only reason I never see any squirrels on it is because it’s hanging off of a window on the second story, and there’s no way for a squirrel to get to it. Although – I would also NOT be surprised to look up one day and see a squirrel!
Hmm. That view from the couch makes the couch look like a dangerous spot to be lounging!
Wouldn’t be the first time I was the landing pad for a flying kitten. 🙂
