feed the animals!

You've already met Posie:

the mistress of "The Animal House" (aka: "the Mama's"... or - better yet - THE MAMA!).

Posie had invited me over for dinner on the Fourth... so I went 'cause the way to my heart is through my stomach. I'm just easy like that... so is Posie.

Of course "the Mama's" Posie's house is gorgeous... and I walked around with my camera in hand...

proll'y whistlin' a lil' tune...

and THEN a thought kinda flew across my brain. (sometimes that happens...)

"the Mama" is kinda mean to her cat.

She taunts the poor little furry four-legged girl with Kitty TV - 24/7 - through the kitchen window. There are 3 bird feeders, 2 hummingbird feeders AND watermelon rinds out for the crows and squirrels - all of it not even 25 feet away from the kitchen window Posie sits in! YOU KNOW Posie wants to make it more of a "reality show" for herself than a soap opera. And IN the house "the Mama" has little fake mice and rabbits... little fish... bird houses...


NONE of it seems right, does it? Poor kitty...

comin' to you LIVE from a single-wide where if I didn't have my own 3,000 pound cat that likes to stalk birds and bunnies, butterflies and baby skunks (then gift them to me), I'd go save Posie.

have a nice day!

i went to "the Mama's" for some Fourth of July REAL (no fire department required!) FOOD with my camera in hand (her house is GORGEOUS!)...

her cat, Posie, stole the show...

so I'll be back with pictures from "the Mama's" house.

comin' to you LIVE from a single-wide where I hope you have a nice day today or I'll sic the kitty on you... hee-hee!
 

don't blow up the rooster.

first, i think you should know: i'm preparing this post on July 4th at 12:28 A.M. my time (this is me assuming you know what time-zone i'm in because i'm never sure). i am currently listening to fireworks going off a FEW PASTURES OVER and - though my dogs quit barking and ran for cover a while back like all smart animals do - there is a rooster cock-a-doodle-dooing EACH and EVERY TIME something bangs and explodes.

redneck fireworks

Homemade pyrotechnics.

May involve the use of fuel, lighter fluid, welding gasses, household cleaners, or black powder intended for use in muzzle-loading firearms. Generally lit with cigarette lighters, matches, lit cigars or cigarettes, or -- in rare cases -- electrically lighted with the use of either a car battery or household current.

Very Dangerous.

One of the more common forms of redneck firearms is the use of reactive metals in a 20-ounce soda bottle, known as an acid bomb, dry-ice bomb, or Drano bomb. Another is the trapping of a gas, such as butane or acetylene in a pipe or a series of soda cans with the tops and bottoms cut out, held together with duct tape, which when lighted makes a loud noise and can be used to hurl projectiles, such as tennis balls, potatoes, or garbage, into the neighbors' yards.

Look out! Bubba is going to fire off another one of them redneck fireworks! as found in the Urban Dictionary.

comin' to you LIVE from a single-wide where I'm thinking... let's celebrate today and every day: our freedom, our pride, our country! Oh... and the firemen that might end up out here ‘cause... well... there's a bunch of rednecks and a rooster in my 'hood... for once i might be the sane one...

Ya’ll have a Happy 4th of July!

that rooster is going to be so tired come sunrise i might have to find my alarm clock in order to wake up since he's usually my alarm... he doesn't know yet that he gets to do it all again in less than 12 hours...

self discovery...

I have had a mental break-through.

It SEAMS that in the "lab.or.a.tory"...

I work in color blocks. Last week I was in the Pink...

apparantly this week I'm feeling BLUE.

Everything coming off of the production line has BLUE in it!

this one is zooming out of Pit Row next...

I wonder if it's 'cause the 4th is tomorrow? What do you have planned?

comin' to you LIVE from a single-wide where I'm wondering if I should make extra pockets for bottle rockets? I wonder what color I'm gonna mess with next week? more importantly... Who's BBQ'ing tomorrow? "the Mama" has my dinner covered, but I will be hungry at lunch too... I trade pocketbooks for food you know...

Big Red.

No... I'm not talking about ME when I say "Big Red"... I'm more "big orange head". I'm talkin' about the stuff summer dreams are made of, a Texas tradition:

BIG RED ICE CREAM

2 liters of Big Red (64 ounces)

2 (14 ounce) cans of Condensed Milk
(the sweet kind)

Put it in the ice cream maker thing and get bizzzzzzy!!!

comin' to you LIVE from YOUR HOUSE if you're makin' this because I don't have an ice cream maker thingy but it's my FAVohRITE ice cream... what's your address?


p.s. If you have never had Big Red ice cream - you really should make some. You will thank me later...

summer time...

That hot, humid, windy, dusty, dirty, stinky, HOT summer thing is happenin' here in my 'hood...

eeeeeuuuuuuwwwwwwwww.... when is winter blowing back in?

The ONLY way you are going to get me outside in the foreseeable future is if I'm wearing one of/any of/all of these dresses from Free People.

Other than that? I've parked myself in the freezer. If you open the freezer I will hand you a freezer pop... but I will not be getting out.

comin' to you LIVE from a single-wide where even the cat is in the freezer. wait... that just doesn't sound right...
