and I’m not ready for the weekend to end yet. Mostly because I have to head back to the old job for one more day before starting the new one on Tuesday.
At least I’ll have leftovers for my lunch from today’s turkey dinner at home.
Is it still the weekend? I guess once you retire everyday is Saturday. 😉
The friends and their dogs left last night and the nephew, niece, their family, dogs and puppies are leaving this morning. By noon there should finally be some peace and quiet in the house.
Well X-mas is coming up and they will be coming back, but I think they will already have them promised out by then. Plus I think George is too old to have a puppy running around and jumping all over him.
I really just don’t want to ever see a turkey again as long as I live. I’ve got a load of it still in the fridge, and is it just me or does it smell pretty much like a fart every time I open the fridge door?
Next year we’re having something else. Screw tradition.
Hopey’s had more turkey than anyone else. I made a turkey pot pie with some leftovers last night, but I think we’re all sick of it by now and it will probably go in the trash.
Gotta go for awhile. I thought the last of them were leaving last night, but when I woke up I found they were still here. I can hear them stirring around, so I’ve got to go and sort of give them a little nudge on out. 🙂
If that was possible, George would be the first thing out there. However, it’s supposed to rain today so I doubt I could even get George out of the door to go outside.
Except for drinking, water of any kind George won’t go near. He will go when I pick him up and set him down in middle of the yard, but he doesn’t dally around in the rain. He’s done and then back in the house as fast as he can.
At the moment, yes. Although our arum lilies usually get trampled by our other Lily (being that they grow just behind the house in a puppy short-cut zone). At the moment the more mobile of the two is wandering around the living room wondering where all the popcorn went.
Luna goes in for her spay surgery tomorrow, so I’ll be playing nurse-maid and puppy distractor until she feels better. Oh goody.
Being older does make a difference. As does having been a mum. I expect it will take the better part of a week for her to be her old self again.
At least we won’t have to suffer through her heats anymore. But Lily will likely start having them any day now. The joys of breeding dogs – insane bitches, and every stray male in the neighborhood showing up every 6 months. I have no idea why people don’t neuter their pets if they are not breeding animals – it’s a damned nuisance dealing with hormonal animals. At least you can ply hormonal people with chocolate and red wine.
Our have been dusted with frost a few times but no snow yet. We’ve got a chance of snow tomorrow night and Thursday but probably nothing that will stick.
It’s cold here this morning (38F) and our heater went out yesterday. Inside the house it’s not too bad at the moment, and hopefully the repairman will show up today. They are predicting we’ll go into the mid-20’s this weekend, and they said we may even see a flurry. I doubt that seriously, but it’s something to look forward to.
If there is one advantage to a wood stove it is that it rarely ever breaks down (although we occasionally run out of wood when the weather or laziness has hindered cutting down a tree).
Mid-twenties huh, I’ pretty sure I haven’t been in that neighborhood over a decade. We get down to 0 C/32 F about three times each winter, but never lower than that.
Ironically we have two fireplaces in the house, but haven’t used them in years. At this point and time I would be afraid to use them. They really need to be cleaned out before wood is burned in them.
We’ll get down into the 20’s from time to time, and I think last year or the year before we got down into the teens.
Yep, I’m with Andi. Don’t use a fireplace that hasn’t been maintained. And make sure that they are not sucking all of the heat out of your house when they are not in use. I usually advise people to seal them off with insulation.
They’re sealed off and as far as the maintenance on them I’m not too worried. The siblings have decided to sell the house so I’ll be out of here by next month. Hopefully the next place will have a working heater. 🙂
Nope not upsetting at all. I’m kind of looking forward to a place with just me and George there. It will be nice to have a place that if I set something down, I’ll know it will be there when I want it again. Plus this house is just too big, so a smaller place will be nice.
I’ll probably stay in town. I’ve already called a few places about renting, but unfortunately they don’t take pets. So I’ll keep looking until I find something in my price range and that takes pets.
Good luck with that. I’m going to miss the pictures of the pond though. Of course, I won’t have to do all that work trying to get you to take the pictures so that’s one for slacking column.
Anytime you can put a new one in the slacking column that’s a good thing. 🙂
Who knows, were I move to might have a more exciting or beautiful place to take pictures of. That is if I get off my backsides and get the camera out. 😉
I’m sorry to hear that you have to shift locations, FM. Glad to know you’re not upset by it, though.
I do think the family should give you a little more than a month, though. That’s too short a time & you don’t want to rent a place in a rushed way. It leads to mistakes.
Yep you’re right. I’ve only called a few places so far and when I did call, it was to far out from move time for them to be to excited about a new renter.
Now that this month has started I’ll be a little more aggressive in looking for a place. The only problem is that since the is a little college town most places don’t have a hard time finding renters.
Yes, but some people prefer not to rent to the beer and bong brigade. Remember to sell your assets – mature, quiet and slackerly have to have their upsides, like impressing landlords.
We broke out the quilts last night. I’ve always liked sleeping in a cold bedroom, but in a warm bed. It’s the getting out of bed that’s always the hard part.
Well the bedrooms here are carpeted, but with the bad circulation in my legs I always have cold feet. I’ve got a nice pair of house shoes that take care of that. 🙂
I never wear socks. Mostly because I never wear shoes. Although someone got me these ultra-soft, fuzzy footies with aloe infused in them. They feel kinda like your feet are having an orgasm.
Luna just left with Imogen and Lily is having her usual conniption. I have never had a dog with massive separation anxiety before. She really wants to have both Luna and I around all of the time. Imogen cops the worst of it when I take Luna visiting and leave the two of them at home. I’ll be so relieved when she grows out of it.
My current counter is to try and feed her into a stupor.
Luna’s home, well almost home. She’s still an inert lump on the back seat of the car. If she hasn’t gotten out by the time Imogen gets home (about 3 hours from now), I figure that between the two of us we can lift her out. Poor baby.
Turkeys were introduced to California as a game bird species. About seven years ago I lived in an area with tons of oak trees, which they love for the acorns. So it wasn’t unusual to see flocks of forty or more birds. My neighbors on either side both hunted them in season. One invested in the high-tech gear approach, and the other rolled-out of bed in his pajamas and shot them from his front porch, and laughed at the other guy.
My housemate tells me that there were large flocks like that here in the Catskills in the 1960s. Now you rarely see more than a half-dozen. Too many hunters over the years, I guess — in pajamas or otherwise.
The last wild turkey I prepped & ate was shot from the porch that way. She was carrying eggs.
Obviously, it’s not always the best thing to do the easiest thing.
That’s a great shot! Did you actually get that close?
I took my shot from an upstairs window at the farmhouse. They move so quickly that I couldn’t have caught the picture otherwise. (See paranoia, GOP, Tricky Dick).
Maybe they’re dumber in California, but I couldn’t tell you the number of times I had to spot the car while they ran about the road in a panic before remembering that they could fly over the fence. This was especially true of mums with broods.
They are stunning birds to see in person. The color of their feathers rarely shows up in photos. During hunting season we stayed out of our remotest valley so that they could stay there in peace and safety.
They don’t seem to like to fly. They’re always meandering in the road here, too.
& yes, they are beautiful, impressive birds. Someday when a good camera with telephoto lens drops out of a raincloud at my feet, I’ll be able to capture them so much better. The patterns on their wings are really lovely, too, as well as their incredible color.
When it starts rain camera lenses, be sure to grab an extra telephoto one for me (500mm with auto stabilizer would be perfect). Speaking of free cameras, if anyone still shoots film, I have a Nikon N2020 with two lenses that could probably be had for the price of postage.
I agree, turkeys don’t seem to like flying, but I can’t imagine how else they get forty feet up a tree, which is where I usually first spotted them.
My Nikon N70 does everything and more than my N2020. I sold my medium format Mamiaya C330 a few years back because of the price of processing the film.
Expense. Yeah, that’s why I didn’t get into taking pictures ’til The Digital Revolution.
However, I’m finding that there’s a quality to film that digital just can’t match, even on a very high-end basis. Something like the differences between cd & vinyl.
Just you wait, eventually there’s going to be a film resurgence too.
😉
The difference is that all the ones in the western US are descended from ones that got caught (obviously the ones that readily fly were less represented in that group).
Between my last day at work yesterday, migraine last night, first day at new job today, and CBtY’s missed bus both days, I’ve missed all kinds of chatter here in the cafe. Time for a new thread, methinks.
Sorry about all the strife. Does this help with starting a new cafe?
I have no idea what it is (other than not native). I just popped up in the front yard for the first time this year. I guess it needed a really good watering.
Four hours later and Luna is still asleep in the back of the car and refuses to wake up enough to get out (she has turned around on the seat twice, so I know she can move). Pobrecita. It’s at times like this I understand the attraction of Chihuahuas.
Imogen got home and between the two of us we managed to get Luna out of the car and into the house (on her own four feet, once we lifted her off of the seat). She had a little bit of water and went back to the soundest of sleeps. If only we could get the same drugs for Lily.
and I’m not ready for the weekend to end yet. Mostly because I have to head back to the old job for one more day before starting the new one on Tuesday.
At least I’ll have leftovers for my lunch from today’s turkey dinner at home.
What’s everyone else up to?
Good morning CG,
Is it still the weekend? I guess once you retire everyday is Saturday. 😉
The friends and their dogs left last night and the nephew, niece, their family, dogs and puppies are leaving this morning. By noon there should finally be some peace and quiet in the house.
So are you going to sneak one of the puppies from the litter and hide it in your bedroom till they’re gone? 😉
Actually I wish I could, but I found out that they’re not even a week old.
I guess they’ll have to make a special visit to bring one back for you. 😉
Well X-mas is coming up and they will be coming back, but I think they will already have them promised out by then. Plus I think George is too old to have a puppy running around and jumping all over him.
Oh … I guess you’ll have to hide all the pups and the mom, too. I’m sure George will enjoy having a crowd of critters at the house. 🙂
And to the comment below …
Good on you for having the house empty out. Peace and quiet is a joy and naps whenever you went them are wonderful.
Nah I think they would probably notice the absence of the mom and 6 pups. 🙂
Good morning.
I see I was too late with my suggestion in the last cafe that this one should be graced with a picture of your new washer and dryer. 🙂
I’m up to nothing which, after 3 days of family gatherings, sounds absolutely delightful.
Morning Andi,
As I said above, the last of the rels are leaving this morning. There’s going to be a long nap this afternoon.
We;’re enjoying our peace and quiet while it lasts. The boys are due back this afternoon.
Yeah but if they were gone longer, you would be wondering when are they going to get back home.
Good morning.
I’m up to nothing which, after 3 days of family gatherings,…
Yup, sounds about right – 3 days of socializing in a row w/excessive food & drink intake. A long walk in the park and then..nothing.
I really just don’t want to ever see a turkey again as long as I live. I’ve got a load of it still in the fridge, and is it just me or does it smell pretty much like a fart every time I open the fridge door?
Next year we’re having something else. Screw tradition.
Well instead of T’giving turkey you could have T’giving chitlins. Oh wait, it would still smell like farts in your fridge. 😉
What is that photo?
A huge flower of some kind? A close up of a regular sized flower?
Or a piece of clothing from Cabin Girl’s new dryer…possibly BooMan’s underpants?
Or is it a man-eating … oh never mind, it’s too early to be thinking like that.
Hopey will be glad to take care of that leftover turkey for you.
Hopey’s had more turkey than anyone else. I made a turkey pot pie with some leftovers last night, but I think we’re all sick of it by now and it will probably go in the trash.
That sounds you just heard … it was the simultaneous howl from Giddy, Sniff, and Bebo when I read the last sentence to them.
I’m afraid of inundating her system with too much meat. She ate an entire drumstick yesterday!
Too much meat!?! Now the dogs are just in shock.
But not so much that they aren’t insisting that we go for a walk. See ya later.
Spoken like someone who never has to come into contact with her dogs’ poop. If I had 40 acres of woods I’d let her eat whatever she wanted.
Gotta go for awhile. I thought the last of them were leaving last night, but when I woke up I found they were still here. I can hear them stirring around, so I’ve got to go and sort of give them a little nudge on out. 🙂
See ya’ll later.
Hope you and George have some quiet soon, FM.
Thanks Boran. Woke up a little while ago, got a big plate of dressing and cranberry sauce and will be heading back for another nap.
Hope you’re getting some slack time today too.
in case the long holiday weekend has left you feeling a bit tarnished.

Have you been gilding the ferns again?
I believe the little gold-plating elves were out burnishing the forest.
Good morning Andi and Keres,
Tell those elves they can winter down here, but not before I place everything in the house out in the woods.
Don’t put George out there! We wouldn’t want his tongue gold-plated so he can’t bark. 😉
If that was possible, George would be the first thing out there. However, it’s supposed to rain today so I doubt I could even get George out of the door to go outside.
The Pack don’t like to go out if it’s raining — unless we’re going for a walk in the woods in which case getting soaked is the bestest thing ever.
Except for drinking, water of any kind George won’t go near. He will go when I pick him up and set him down in middle of the yard, but he doesn’t dally around in the rain. He’s done and then back in the house as fast as he can.
Poor George. Poor you, out there with George.
Speaking of going out, the dogs are all excited because deer gun season is over and we can broaden out our walks again. So I guess I’ll get going.
See ya later.
Yep I need to take George out before the rain gets here. You and the pack have a nice walk.
Everybody have a good, er, beginning of the week day. 🙂
I’m always just missing you, FM. 🙁
Sorry we missed each other Boran. I’ll try to stick around longer tomorrow. 😉
I guess that’s what they do when the lilies are not in bloom.
‘Morning all.
Another overcast day – and I was really counting on some sun to help get the laundry done.
Good evening to you.
And down under I guess they use mud to gild the Lily/Lilly. 🙂
At the moment, yes. Although our arum lilies usually get trampled by our other Lily (being that they grow just behind the house in a puppy short-cut zone). At the moment the more mobile of the two is wandering around the living room wondering where all the popcorn went.
Luna goes in for her spay surgery tomorrow, so I’ll be playing nurse-maid and puppy distractor until she feels better. Oh goody.
I don’t know if it makes much difference if the dog is older but none of our dogs have needed more than a day to recover.
Being older does make a difference. As does having been a mum. I expect it will take the better part of a week for her to be her old self again.
At least we won’t have to suffer through her heats anymore. But Lily will likely start having them any day now. The joys of breeding dogs – insane bitches, and every stray male in the neighborhood showing up every 6 months. I have no idea why people don’t neuter their pets if they are not breeding animals – it’s a damned nuisance dealing with hormonal animals. At least you can ply hormonal people with chocolate and red wine.
Beautiful shot, Andi!
Our ferns have been looking that way, too. As of tonight they’re dusted with snow.
Hi WW.
Our have been dusted with frost a few times but no snow yet. We’ve got a chance of snow tomorrow night and Thursday but probably nothing that will stick.
And we’ve got a chance of sun tomorrow (I may get caught up on the laundry yet). At least the frogs are happy that their pond is full again.
Good morning Andi and Keres,
It’s cold here this morning (38F) and our heater went out yesterday. Inside the house it’s not too bad at the moment, and hopefully the repairman will show up today. They are predicting we’ll go into the mid-20’s this weekend, and they said we may even see a flurry. I doubt that seriously, but it’s something to look forward to.
If there is one advantage to a wood stove it is that it rarely ever breaks down (although we occasionally run out of wood when the weather or laziness has hindered cutting down a tree).

We’ll get down into the 20’s from time to time, and I think last year or the year before we got down into the teens.
Good idea on not using the fireplaces without getting the chimneys cleaned.
Hopefully you can get the HVAC folks to come repair the furnace before it get really cold. Otherwise, time to break out the quilts.
Yep, I’m with Andi. Don’t use a fireplace that hasn’t been maintained. And make sure that they are not sucking all of the heat out of your house when they are not in use. I usually advise people to seal them off with insulation.
They’re sealed off and as far as the maintenance on them I’m not too worried. The siblings have decided to sell the house so I’ll be out of here by next month. Hopefully the next place will have a working heater. 🙂
Oh FM. I hope you’re not too upset by having to leave.
Nope not upsetting at all. I’m kind of looking forward to a place with just me and George there. It will be nice to have a place that if I set something down, I’ll know it will be there when I want it again. Plus this house is just too big, so a smaller place will be nice.
Well good then. Are you going to stay in town or move to the Big City?
I’ll probably stay in town. I’ve already called a few places about renting, but unfortunately they don’t take pets. So I’ll keep looking until I find something in my price range and that takes pets.
Good luck with that. I’m going to miss the pictures of the pond though. Of course, I won’t have to do all that work trying to get you to take the pictures so that’s one for slacking column.
Anytime you can put a new one in the slacking column that’s a good thing. 🙂
Who knows, were I move to might have a more exciting or beautiful place to take pictures of. That is if I get off my backsides and get the camera out. 😉
Well that’s a thought.
The dogs are suggesting I get off my backside as well. See ya later.
Have a good walk.
I’m sorry to hear that you have to shift locations, FM. Glad to know you’re not upset by it, though.
I do think the family should give you a little more than a month, though. That’s too short a time & you don’t want to rent a place in a rushed way. It leads to mistakes.
I wish you good luck, in any case.
Many places will change their minds about pets if A. the pet is small, and B. you offer to put down a deposit…like $200.
Hi SN,
Yep you’re right. I’ve only called a few places so far and when I did call, it was to far out from move time for them to be to excited about a new renter.
Now that this month has started I’ll be a little more aggressive in looking for a place. The only problem is that since the is a little college town most places don’t have a hard time finding renters.
Yes, but some people prefer not to rent to the beer and bong brigade. Remember to sell your assets – mature, quiet and slackerly have to have their upsides, like impressing landlords.
I think SN might be right about the pet deposit…and I ‘d pick you for and George a renter over a beer-bonging girls-gone-wild kinda guy any day.
I hope you find a nice little place, FM.
I hope the move goes well for you. Maybe a place with an outside covered area for George to do his duty in.
Bed time for me. Have a good one ‘all.
Sleep tight. Night.
Night.
We broke out the quilts last night. I’ve always liked sleeping in a cold bedroom, but in a warm bed. It’s the getting out of bed that’s always the hard part.
I hate cold floors (all of ours are wood) so I keep a pair of socks right by the bed so I can put them on as soon as I wake up.
Well the bedrooms here are carpeted, but with the bad circulation in my legs I always have cold feet. I’ve got a nice pair of house shoes that take care of that. 🙂
Me, I only remove my socks after Memorial Day.
I never wear socks. Mostly because I never wear shoes. Although someone got me these ultra-soft, fuzzy footies with aloe infused in them. They feel kinda like your feet are having an orgasm.
I think your orgasms must feel way different than mine.
Seems likely.
Hmmm, now what would be a good way to compare notes. 😉
I could give you the direct number to Mr. Hitachi. 🙂
Do tell. 😀
Do but don’t tell.
lol
Here y’all are upthread comparing orgasms & I’m downthread with Tricky Dick.
Well I was going to try and stick around to say hi to Boran today, but George wants to go out, and I’ve got to get ready for a doctor’s appointment.
So everyone have a good day.
Hope all goes well for you. I saw mine yesterday. Got a clean bill of health, so to speak.
Hiya Boran,
Glad to hear you got a clean bill of health, so to speak. 😉
Mine is for a quarterly check-up for my back. So it will be the usual questions, have you gotten any better/any worse and so on.
Hope you have a good one today.
Luna just left with Imogen and Lily is having her usual conniption. I have never had a dog with massive separation anxiety before. She really wants to have both Luna and I around all of the time. Imogen cops the worst of it when I take Luna visiting and leave the two of them at home. I’ll be so relieved when she grows out of it.
My current counter is to try and feed her into a stupor.
Food as Mommy substitute, eh?
That seems like a recipe for obesity in adulthood, if ya ask me.
😉
She wouldn’t wait for adulthood if she had any say in the matter. She already bolts her food in seconds and then frantically looks about for more.
feed her into a stupor
The dogs all just announced their intention to move to Tasmania.
Tell them about the six-month quarantine and I bet they’ll rethink their options.
Luna’s home, well almost home. She’s still an inert lump on the back seat of the car. If she hasn’t gotten out by the time Imogen gets home (about 3 hours from now), I figure that between the two of us we can lift her out. Poor baby.
Someone definitely had a great Thanksgiving Day this year.
haha! I love how they’re all looking around in paranoia.
They always act that way.
However, this deer couldn’t care less. — & it’s deer season for a hell of a lot longer than it’s Thanksgiving Day.
When the GOP finally splinters, I think the nutso splinter group should use the turkey as their symbol. Talk about death panels ..
Turkeys were introduced to California as a game bird species. About seven years ago I lived in an area with tons of oak trees, which they love for the acorns. So it wasn’t unusual to see flocks of forty or more birds. My neighbors on either side both hunted them in season.

Andi & SN seem to have suddenly disappeared.
I’ll take that as my cue to start dinner. No toys involved.
😉
I suppose you could mix toys and cooking, but only if you made sure there was no chance of any grease spattering.
It’s still morning here, but according to the clothes washer it is laundry hanging time. Damned impertinent appliances, always telling me what to do!
Love your household items! — Jack Kerouac
Seriously, don’t put down your washer, keres. I’ve used both a stream & a plastic bucket to wash clothes. The bucket took two toddlers’ diapers, too.
On that note .. dinner!
You’re right. I love our new front-loader. And one should never disparage one’s machinery, at least not in its presence.
Absolutely not! Especially not motor vehicles.
Front-loaders rock. my. world.
When it starts rain camera lenses, be sure to grab an extra telephoto one for me (500mm with auto stabilizer would be perfect). Speaking of free cameras, if anyone still shoots film, I have a Nikon N2020 with two lenses that could probably be had for the price of postage.
I agree, turkeys don’t seem to like flying, but I can’t imagine how else they get forty feet up a tree, which is where I usually first spotted them.
They’ll fly under duress. They may also sleep up there, I’m not sure.
Why are you letting go of your Nikon? Is it that difficult to use film any more?
It’s more expensive to use film.
My Nikon N70 does everything and more than my N2020. I sold my medium format Mamiaya C330 a few years back because of the price of processing the film.
Expense. Yeah, that’s why I didn’t get into taking pictures ’til The Digital Revolution.
However, I’m finding that there’s a quality to film that digital just can’t match, even on a very high-end basis. Something like the differences between cd & vinyl.
Just you wait, eventually there’s going to be a film resurgence too.
😉
Back in a bit.
They readily fly around here. I wonder what the difference is.
I was about 25 feet away but inside the house.
The difference is that all the ones in the western US are descended from ones that got caught (obviously the ones that readily fly were less represented in that group).
Between my last day at work yesterday, migraine last night, first day at new job today, and CBtY’s missed bus both days, I’ve missed all kinds of chatter here in the cafe. Time for a new thread, methinks.
Sorry about all the strife. Does this help with starting a new cafe?
I have no idea what it is (other than not native). I just popped up in the front yard for the first time this year. I guess it needed a really good watering.
“It” just popped up in the front yard. I don’t do much popping, and I certainly wouldn’t do it in the front yard if I did.
Four hours later and Luna is still asleep in the back of the car and refuses to wake up enough to get out (she has turned around on the seat twice, so I know she can move). Pobrecita. It’s at times like this I understand the attraction of Chihuahuas.
Imogen got home and between the two of us we managed to get Luna out of the car and into the house (on her own four feet, once we lifted her off of the seat). She had a little bit of water and went back to the soundest of sleeps. If only we could get the same drugs for Lily.
Wow, talk about knocked out. It would probably have a paradoxical effect on Lily, though. Kind of like benadryl and CBtE…
New cafe on the way now that I’m awake again.
