Happy Monday...

This weekend I celebrated being on this planet another year. I won't tell you how old I am, but let's just say if I had to buy an anniversary gift for the same number of years, it would be "Optical Goods." Which really works out well because I can't see anything up close anymore. Either my readers need readers or I need 9 foot arms. At this point in my life, I'd take either or.

So being another year older, I "look forward" to more crows feet and more wrinkles in my knees. Where I used to have bags under my eyes, I now have luggage. Try as I might, I can no longer suck in my stomach and at times when stepping out of the shower and looking in the mirror, I swear it smiles back at me.

But all in all, I am extremely happy and grateful. I may be wrinklier, chubbier and blinder but I feel truly blessed with my life. ♥

Yesterday I had one piece of birthday cake left with a candle in it. But when I went to eat it, it was gone. Hubs said he didn't eat it and I sure as heck didn't.
Then it dawned on me. Steve was MIA all day...

My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns."

It's autumn.

Enjoy nature.

As Steve frolicked and played in the tree...

far away from his home, he became paralyzed with the dreaded thought:

"Did I leave the iron on?!"

Enjoy nature.
But remember to shut off all small appliances before you do.

Never forget them.

Still Looking For Noah...

Man, we are waterlogged here in Central New York!

These hurricane and tropical storms have dumped unbelievable amounts of rain on us. Heck, we live on a hill but we still had water in our basement. Our county is now in a state of emergency. Some folks had 5' of water in their basement.
Wish there was a way I could pipe it to everyone in Texas!

It was so bad last night, I saw Steve the Chipmunk in a scuba wetsuit and flippers.

But this morning I was so happy Bob the Woodchuck (who lives under our old brooder house) make a brief and soggy appearance.

You can't tell from this angle, but he's wearing nose plugs. He plans on practicing his cannonball dives.
He mentioned something about being on the Marmot Olympics dive team...

Steve was finally able to put away the scuba wetsuit and flippers. But is now being considered for a role in the new "Sea Hunt" movie. He would replace Lloyd Bridges in the role of Mike Nelson, the ex-navy frogman.
Ummm... make that ex-navy "frogmunk."

I heard about it on TMZ.

Enjoy nature.
But bring an umbrella and your own ark.

Uh-oh...

Steve got wind I made an apple pie yesterday.

He's plotting how to break in and open the refrigerator with those tiny chipmunk paws.

It may be too late to get an ADT system...

Enjoy nature.
