Why We Do Not Have a Garden

This is the reason!!!!!


No sneaking around, it's 2:30 pm and the buck doesn't care that we are in the window watching. He wasn't finished choosing the tastiest bushes and plants we have. Last winter the deer discovered and ate our yew bushes. We wonder if there is anything they don't like. Oh, and the raccoon likes to dig up the grass looking for grubs to eat, but they don't bother to replace the sods they turf up.

Mindy: do you think if I 'meow' really loud, it might scare the deer?


Sonbean and Mike: that won't work, Mindy. You will have to come up with another plan


Moe: See this paw? I can put it into action, maybe that will work


BonBon: Take my advice, Moe. Don't bother, because in case you haven't noticed, deer are very, very BIG.


Cookie: Normally, I would be scratching to get outside, but I think I will wait until it leaves.

Eye to Eye

Moe says: This pesky guy has been annoying me for days. I'm just doing my job, keeping our home free of intruders. So, he's NOT getting in here! No matter how hard he tries - and he tries very hard. He jumps at the window all the time and chatters at me at the top of his voice. How rude.



Note from mombean: Yes, there is glass between them, don't know for how long though.

Is it Still Monday?

Um, think so. We are late, again. Of course, it's never our fault.

Mindy: Now if he would just walk by me one more time, I'm ready, and I'll whap him good this time.



Moe: Don't bother me, I'm unavailable, except in extreme emergencies. (hung over, from helping Mickey celebrate his birthday)


Bon Bon: This doesn't look very comfortable, but really, it is!


Mike: Even though I am usually Mr. Mouth, I have NO comment to make.



Cookie: ZZZZZZZZZ - yawn - zzzzz


Hope Monday is a good day for everyone!

Easy Like Sunday

It's Sunday again, the pace around here is sort of calming, no one rushing around - wait a minute, that doesn't mean our beans delay our breakfast!! Oh no, this can't happen, we must unite and stir this household into action.


Mike: are you listening Moe?


It is important that meals be on time and with generous portions, don't you think?


Bon Bon: That's it Mike! You've got the loudest voice, start complaining. Wake me up when breakfast is served.


Cookie: Breakfast sure starts Sunday off, just right.

or any day for that matter.

Mindy: Right after breakfast, I like to catch up on my beauty sleep.

Wouldn't it be awesome to have breakfast right here on the bed? Won't happen, but I can dream, right?

Mombean was outside last night taking pictures in the dark...




She actually managed to get a picture of this Luna moth. They usually fly high, up around the street light. This one came low enough for a photo.


Happy Fourth of July to our American furriends!

Frustrating Friday

There is absolutely NO WAY that I'm going to look at that camera!



That is final, forever.

Wednesday Utterings

That should be - mutterings! Our beans have gone away for a few days.



We'll be here, awaiting their return.

Mancat No Fun Day

Mike: I'm reporting the post today. Can you see that I'm a little crabilated? Okay, a LOT crabby.



Mombean's at fault. She gots a new flashy box and wants to push that thing in front of my face. Dat blinding flash is disturbing my sleep. Doesn't she realize that I have some serious napping to do? And I just managed to nab the bestest nap spot, too.



I can't keep my eyes open any longer.

Moe: Huh, that Mike is such a complainer. Not that I like da flashy box any better.



So, if it has to happen, here is my best side.

Bon Bon: There's a new flashy box? (Yawn) Whatever.




On the weekend, mombean and her sister (Mickey's mombean) hiked into a wilderness area. Beside a big lake they saw these beautiful butterflies. They were flying around beside the water. There was no one else around, so our beans enjoyed the sunshine, the butterflies and the big lake.




Later, they discovered that the butterflies are called Yellow Swallowtails.
