TGIF!

I know it's Friday because it says so right at the top of my laptop screen. Whew! Made it through another week of total sloth. I'm exhausted.

I amused myself this morning while lying in bed listening to the birds singing. We've all been taught that they say pretty things; for instance, I was taught that cardinal song is purdy purdy purdy cheerio! How lovely is that. You were probably taught something else but I bet it's pretty, too (or purdy, as it was pronounced in my [red]neck of the Indiana woods). While I was lying there half asleep, my brain interpreted one bird call as hey man hey man hey man, spare a dime? which made me picture a bird down on his luck, maybe 1/2 a seed and a spider leg left in his pocket, trying to get home to his brood. Then I pictured the cop bird showing up, move along move along move along.


Sunrise this morning

And another

The sun is ris


Tucker is, too

Morning scritches


Anyone leave their husband at a campsite? Anyone?
Is this some kind of joke?

    You made me laugh out loud here at work. Folks may start talking.

    I'll never listen to a bird sing the same way again.

  3. ALL right, the head of the fur pack appears! I guess I'm just slow but I clicked on the "husband" picture and made it bigger and still can't tell what it is. But I'd be happy to leave mine there if you like! Sunrise over the water is one of my favorite things in all the world.

    1. That kind of pillow is called a husband, or husband pillow.
      I'm not in need of any husbands but thanks for the offer! :) I even left that husband right at the fire ring.

  6. I didn't know those were called husband pillows. I used to have one. Pillow I mean. Husbands - three. Funny someone would leave their husband there? LOL

    1. I thought about getting one (the pillow) to use on my futon in the rig but they're so big, I don't want to give up the space.

    1. I wonder if the name started out as a joke and then just stuck.

  8. Congratulations on your new blog, Annie! I'm a bit late with that but I don't get around much. I read all your posts and want to thank you for the name-drop a while ago. Best wishes for your furballs, your blog, and you!
