Animal crackers in my soup……

Nope no soup and no crackers but a lot of sub par but fun zoo pics I took several weeks ago on a 2 day weekday vacation if you want to call it that.

On the way home it was a real zoo on the highway on account of a accident some place further down the road and a real long ways at that. Then we had to take an hour or was that more, a detour somewhere in Chatham. It was bumper to bumper with long lines of trucks and a few unfortunate cars in between. We slowly snaked our way though the country side to our proper route to continue home. It was already dark by the time we got back on track. 

Now back to the pics. A two part-r.

 A dining butterfly

Some dining butterflys

  A very bored hippo in his little pond who swims and swims around in a circle pushing a moss covered log in his mouth.

  A group of goosie friends enjoying some nice grass before they fly south for the winter. 

You could hear their happy sounds as they gobbled up the sweet green zoo grass.

  An elephant, fresh out of its house and still with the chains on its feet. Why does an elephant need jewelry?

A very polite o-rang. This ape knows how to wipe her nose with a tissue. She has more manners then some humans. ;)

Normally I don't do late night blogging but this is one of those rare times I guess. Not much to post about other then that I really should get around to posting those zoo pics I already promised. Got to drive to a few short destinations with out an experienced driver but I still had a back seat driver if you know what I mean. :p But that's ok. Also lots of odd things happening with the utilities lately, the satellite seems to be acting strange like it would in a storm but at the time there wasn't a cloud in the sky and still is but we are expecting some snow. The electric also bit odd and even went out last morning. We even lost our water on Friday but then it came back. So strange, could it be aliens? LOL


Not aliens but animals, enjoy.

It’s been awhile I know. I spent most of August making peach jam from our tree, which had less peaches compared to last year. But because I didn't can any this year, we had just enough. Some thought maybe, too much. They got tired just watching me apparently and yet no one offered to at least help me prepare them. Turned out really nice n tasty. I had a combination of hard and soft jam but I prefer the soft more liquidly jam since its multi purpose. Good on ice cream, good on bread and yummy in desert. I gave a big jar of it to my favorite hairdresser who in turn gave me a jar of rich green pesto. A few weeks later I decided to try out the pesto in some pasta. I was unsure how this extremely green glop was going to taste like, but I have had weird things to eat and weirder looking food still so I thought what the heck. I cooked some pasta in the shape of shells and when that was done, I poured in half of the pesto and after mixing the now green pasta I took a taste. It really didn't taste like much but only looked ferociously green. So added some garlic powder, some margarine and some salt to taste. Did I mention it was green? I guess it was ok now. It was edible but my dad seemed to like it more then me. Most recently went to a green house and then a zoo. The green house is not what it use to be but is more of an arcade with lots of kid games and crappy imported souvenirs made from China. But there are still plenty traditional things you see and experience like the plants, organic food and the petting zoo, but it was better when my aunt came to Canada to visit. I took a few pics of the petting zoo so I’ll be posting you some little picture moments and yes even some of the zoo in the next few posts. As for today I enjoyed the last of the rotisserie barbequed chicken with my homemade stuffing. Every one seems to think it turned out really nice, hence the lack of leftovers. Darn, I’m hungry oh well. I hope every one had a nice n happy Labor day.
This poor gal wanted so much attention she would make such loud squawking and wing flaps to get us to come back.
This guy was looking for some lady fingers. ;)
