World's Largest Dust Bunny

That title was the winner of last week's poll. Thanks to all who voted and left comments. Click on the comments from last week if you want a chuckle--my sis-in-law, Tammy, and my friend, Fish, left some titles that made me laugh.


Now for the formal introduction:
Here's me and D. Bunny. Here real name is Trixie Attisano. She moved in with us in October when the Attisano's--Craig, Mimzie, Logan and baby Nathan moved to El Paso, TX because Craig was needed in the Army Reserve. They will only be there for 10 months.
Trixie is 14 years old, which must be around 100 in cat years. I couldn't imagine how such an elderly cat would adjust to El Paso. I offered to keep Trixie and hardly got the words out of my mouth before Mimzie agreed and brought her and all her trappings over!

Trixie's favorite place is here in the kitchen beside her empty food dish, waiting for a refill. She likes to keep everything on schedule--meaning any time I'm in the kitchen so is she.
We started out calling her "Miss Hiss," and "Miss Cranky Pants."
My two cats, Elmer and Fudd filled her head with nonsense about Aaron being a bad boy so she hissed and growled at him whenever she saw him. She also cuffed Elmer and Fudd every once in a while and I quickly lost my sympathy for her old age. If she is 100, she's got another 8 lives to go. Nobody's tellling this old lady what to do.
So she's here getting fat and sassy, waiting for Attisanos to come take her back to her royal dwelling place. Meanwhile, I'm getting kind of fond of her. It's nice to have another female in this house.
Brad will get to meet her on Friday. As I type this he is on his way with friends to Chicago. They left Seattle on Friday night and have been driving in ice and snow ever since. Tonight they'll stay at my brother's place and tomorrow head for Cleveland. I'll pick him up there so he can spend Friday with us before flying back on Sat.
Thanks for checking in on me! Next week you'll see this blog's "new look" and I'll get back to the writing business.

Hi older sister....
I have an attitude adjustment program for the one known as DUST BUNNY,I also think it can be useful as a weight loss and fitness program. I will gladly send down the PUG DUO of ERNIE+ MUGSY. They enjoy slapping, tugging, chasing, rolling, and of course BITING. Biting of lips, ears, legs and other unmentionals. Whatever their little jaws can grab on too. Maybe LOLA wants some of this action too....
Respectfully... FUZZY SLIPPERS

Tom was burning some brush at the back of our lot early this evening. I walked back there to talk to him, and lo and behold---a big wild turkey came walking out of the woods on the lot across from us! I thought maybe he smelled the smoke and decided to check it out. And he didn't seem in too much of a hurry, but he picked up the pace when he saw us. A minute later, we saw some more movement where the turkey was, and a coyote peered over at us. He turned around after eyeballing us. I think maybe he was following that meaty looking turkey. I never know what I'll see out here!   And this little thing was inside the screened-in porch today. The green anole made it out alive yesterday, so I guess word is out---Fud isn't a threat! Those are NOT my fingers in the picture.

Jennifer Lawrence interview on David Letterman HD - November 20, 2013 I've never been a fan of a real-life movie star (Bambi isn't real). But after watching this interview last night I just might! This girl's hilarious!

New Pets

My garden failed in everything except a pot of parsley. Last week I noticed tiny green beads stuck to the parsley leaves, and a few days later some small black caterpillars, and now.... PETS! Yep. Pet caterpillars. Not Monarchs, though. They kind of look like the Monarch butterfly caterpillar, but these are Black Swallowtail butterfly caterpillars. Love the parsley. They totally destroyed my plant so I bought them some from the grocery store. I put the stems in a cup of water and it's holding up well enough---at the rate they're going they might eat it all before it wilts anyway! I wish I'd taken their pictures on Wednesday when they were less than 1" long. Now they're a good 2" long. Let me introduce you:   This one is named Parsley. Start up the music for Scarborough Fair. Sage. Rose, Mary, and And (yes, one of them is named And. Scroll down and see if you guessed why I named it And). Thymes Seven. Yes, this last one is named S...
