Our Sunday Post

Moe: Everyone, do you want to see my annoyed "lose that flashybox" face?



Mindy: This is my Sunday morning pose.



Bono: Move over diva. Here is my Sunday morning portrait.


I call it "snooze control".

Here is mom's contribution to our blog.


She took this last night. Finally a full moon AND a clear night. Not so tonight. Another winter storm brewing, and 20 cm on its way.

Wacky Wednesday

The look in my eyes says it all. What a guy has to put up with from the silly beans, especially the sonbean.



















Of course, I must be well compensated. My price is - a tasty snack.



Food, food....delicious. When it comes to my tummy, I am easily bought!

Old Christmas Day

Mombean says January 6th is sometimes called 'Old Christmas Day'. This is confusing to us because we just celebrated Christmas and had a great time. She told us that there is a bit of history around the adoption of the Gregorian calendar . Huh? Mom do you realize that this is 'too much information'! What we really need to know is, do we get a snack before bedtime tonight? We you almost missed it last night.

Yep, you were so busy being angry at the vishus deer. Had to be deer. See all those tracks? Not our paw prints!



Mindy: We only eat indoor plants.

Yum!

Moe: I am sure the holly bush will grow more leaves.



Bono: since when did you take up horticulture, Moe?


Milo: Mindy refuses to be my buddy.


I feel sad and hurt. I want to be friends...really.

First Sunday in 2009

Bono: How I am spending Sunday.



















Moe: I am keeping watch and looking towards the kitchen


























Mindy: I like to hang out in the attic, I have a nice bed there.
















Here is a kitty we are fostering. A tuxie named Milo. Milo is very, very shy. Loves attention and doesn't hiss at the beans anymore.



It was a beautiful sunny day, yesterday, and it warmed up a lot.

These big metal monsters, keep the roads clear enough so our beans can go out to get us our food and treats. See the treat store in the background.


They are huge.




Mickey, Georgia & Tillie's mom is having a birthday today. Have a wonderful birthday Auntie Bean!!



Have a relaxing Sunday, everyone!

Happy New Year



This is how we are starting off 2009 - with a snowstorm! We all stayed put and relaxed at home. Mom went outside to get a picture during the last couple of hours in 2008.



Here is another picture taken New Year's Eve when our beans made a quick run to the gas station. Mom was trying to get a photo of the falling snow when another car drove along side and parked. She moved the camera then making this strange picture - you can't see the car, but you can see red streaks from it's lights and even the tracks it made in the snow.




All the very best to everyone in 2009!

Update:
A photo taken today around noon. Very winter-y.



Bono: This is taken out of our window, looking across our street. Umm, I think I am going to spend days when we have blizzards, like this.



Mom's wool sweater is so warm, I think I may keep it.

A Good Day

A good day for us means leftover turkey. We can't help it, we are in the kitchen a lot in case someone opens the coldbox. We always manage to keep the door open by sticking our furry heads in there and keep the door open as long as possible so we can get a fix on the location of the leftover turkey.

We are worried though. The amount of turkey is seriously shrinking. Before it disappears completely, we cats are getting together to stage a raid to turn up the cuteness factor and persuade the beans that we are capable of finishing off the rest. Good plan?

Bono:


I often get up on top of the coldbox. It's the best lookout place.

Mindy:What do you think?


I'll just pretend I don't want turkey.........the beans will automatically try to get me to eat some.

Moe:
Yikes that flashy box is bright! Can I open my eyes now?


Did someone say there is still some turkey left? Oh, boy, this IS a good day!

It is 5:15pm on Dec. 29 and mom is now taking pictures of the sky.


She saw the star and moon appear just after sundown. (you can click on the picture to get a better look at the tiny dots of light) It was a lovely, sunny winter day.

Photo Hunt - Wide

Photo Hunters

The Photo Hunters Scavenger Hunt was started by tnchick, and anyone can play along.

This week's theme is W I D E. Mom and I thought about this and agreed that I, Mindy, should be featured. We found a photo that expresses wide we think, and stars me, of course.












How about "wide open"!

Sixth Photo Meme

We have been tagged, ages ago, by Everycat and Sunny for the Sixth Photo Meme.

Here are the rules:

Go to your Picture Folder on your computer or wherever you store your pictures.
Go to the 6th Folder and then pick the 6th Picture.
Post it on your bloggy and tell the story that goes with the picture.
Tag 5 other glorious peoples to do the same thing and leave a comment on their bloggy
tellin’ them ’bout it.



Our sixth folder and picture is one of some land owned by a member of dad bean's family. It is on the Atlantic Ocean at the head of a long harbour. It is peaceful, wooded, and has a beautiful view. Oh, and it's for sale. Mom bean took the picture.

Now we will tag anyone that has not done this fun meme, but we think everyone has done it by now.

Bono:

Healthy Breakfast

I always eat a healthy breakfast. However, I like to try new things. This morning, I had my usual crunchies and a spoonful or two of stinky goodness. Then I watched mom make breakfast for herself. I saw her breakfast bowl on the counter, waiting until the kettle boiled. I thought I'd give her breakfast a try. I am open to new things, especially new tasty things.



Mom caught me just as I was licking the yummy looking stuff on top of her cereal and mom said "Bono, don't!" I shoulda listened. It was flax meal! I got a mouthful. I walked around the kitchen chewing and shaking my head. That stuff is evil, I couldn't get rid of it. Mom was amused and annoyed at the same time.

I had to get a big drink of water.



.....and wash my face afterwards. Mom finally got to cook her breakfast, but I don't think I would like it cooked either. So remember, some things are not as good as they look.
