Home Fries vrs the winter day

Boy for the last days of Dec let alone 2018 it was pretty warm today. You could mistake it for early spring especially seeing some guy walking down the street in shorts. But you know that these kinds of days are usually too good to be true. Tomorrow we are back in reality of this miserable type of weather below 0 celsius. Surprise. 

But there are always home fries. Nice and comforting thing to look at let alone to savor in your mouth. Yum!  Better then looking out the window at the bleak landscape that winter causes. 

BTW I actually made these my self. No store bought crap here. Just some yummy homemade goodness straight out of the oven. These never last long. 😋

Last day of a chickadee

Sadly it was the last day on earth for this chickadee. That's why it was so easy to take a pic of this little guy two summers ago with just a regular old digital camera. The poor guy was so sick he wouldn't even move much when I approached him. Even if I touched him too. Although he did kind of sickly give me a protest chirp. But by the end of the day the poor little guy fell asleep and never woke up again. But before that I placed him high on a near by bush so at least he could have some peace. Cause well my cat would have had him as a snack and well you just don't know what kind of diseases the bird had. In the end I buried the little bird in a pot full of leeks and garlic. I think it grew pretty well the next year. 

Possum picknick

A little late in posting this but better late then never.
Now two late summers ago. Actually it was the same year we had that flood, we had a little visitor at night. I had gone outside to take care of a few things and probably to savoir some of the grapes we have growing all around the yard. My favorite are the grapes growing on the vines hanging on our little shed closest to my birds outdoor aviary/cages. Those are simply the best tasting grapes in my opinion to all the grapes my parents planted around the property. Apparently the animals think so too. Like this possum who I caught with a camera making a pig of him self. You can just see him and his grape filled muzzle going to town on all this fruity green goodness.  

Tail end. 😉😊

Its feeding time for Meetso

" I came out of my jungle. Now feed me. "

It was a hot summer day when I took this last year, and was still pretty warm when Meetso's internal dinner bell rang. That was usually at the end of the day when I met him in his usual all day hiding spot where he can get away from the heat and keep an eye out for any unsuspecting tasty critters that went by. It is the small area of bushes near the fenced in garden. Its a mini garden but you get lots out of it. The bars make the bushes look like a small habitat for a tiger in a zoo or at least that's the impression I get from the image I took above.

At this point the sun was getting low so the backgrounds of the images look more dark then I would like them. But the colours on my kitty still look alright. Meetso sits on the edge of a wood plank for awhile on the garden, half asleep and thinks about his next move. 

Can't get enough of his lovely fur covered back and his wonderful white spot. 
Oh and if your wondering about his tail, well for some reason he gave it a hair cut. He literally plucked some of the hair on his tail to make it look like that. Not really sure why but it might just be easier to clean in the summer since he does shed copious amounts during that time. 
He also plucked his tail again this year too. 
It gives his tail the lion tail look. 

" Huh? I thought we were getting food?  "

At this point I think Meetso was getting a little tired of all the picture taking but he's just so darn cute. 

 " So um food?  "

Just another shot of his cute face. 

" Sigh.......The things I do for food.  "

Yeah eventually my cute fluffy big boy got his numnums. But not before I took just one more pic. 😉😀

A little bit of green

OK so St Patrick's day is long over but, like everything including spring everything seems to be a bit late this year. But better late then never. 
I found this pretty cool little four leaf shamrock while removing some of the little invasive plants in our pots. It was about 2 year or is it three years ago now. I saved it by pressing it between some books and then later laminating it. I fixed the colour in Photoshop cause it was brownish after scanning it in and examining it.  I'm only keep it for coolness and nothing to do with luck. I have a related article which I'm going to post in the other blog soon. Just not today. 😋😎

 

With a cherry on top.

Happy New year every one. Hopefully it won't be worse then last year but then who am I kidding. 
Anyways here are some nice summer pics from last season of June. Some yummy sour cherries that were all nice n ripe. Oh yeah they really are yummy even with their sour qualities. Oh and they make really great jam and pie. Who knew you can get so much from a really small cherry tree. Of course eventually I'll share with the birds when the tree gets a bit bigger. 😉
Use to drive the neighbours nuts when I climbed theirs. There were sour cherries trees on both sides of our property and those were pretty tall.  But they were always pretty prone to wood eating insects for some reason. Oh well. Maybe now they're more stronger because of breeding. But then who knows. 😊
