WEEKEND PICTURE POTPOURRI

KB won the bunny-for-the-weekend vote.  So here he is.

BL culinary delight is this biscuit bread with delicious chili.

And I foraged some last-of-the-year blossoms struggling in the yard.  A pretty little collage.
 
Rain and gloom - it's that time of year here.  At least we are north of the big rain and snow in Oregon and N. California!

"FOR 67 SECONDS - 5 TIMES A SECOND.

That's how Racer rattles the ball of his water bottle - and at least three times in the middle of the night.  Practically shakes the whole place."  -  RG the Amnesic Counter.
"Still time to make a request for who/what goes up as a picture/topic on this weekend!"

"SAY, WINNIE, ....

I reckon I could use one of those Pampas Grass fronds for a bro ... er ... feather duster.  Yes.  That's it.  A feather duster.  (Don't look at me like that Winston.") - RG the Nervous.
"I heard Gene Autry singing Santy Claus is Coming to Town" today.  All is well in this Holiday Season!"  -  RG the Ancient.

ANOTHER SNUGGLED BUNN

"That would be me." - Chico the Amorous.

"I FINALLY got some pretty fronds on the pampas grass - after several years!  Hopefully they will last through the winter."  -  Gardner RG.
(PS.  See the snow on the tip of Mt. Baker back there.  It got a LOT so far and it is early yet.)

"This is NOT one of your smarter moves RG."  -  The Princess who Knows These Things.

"PEEK-A-CHEEKS"

"Did I hear a treat bag rustle?"  -  Chico the Alert.

"DOOPIT CAT ...

SWEET GOLDIE - RIP

We had to help Goldie into the Bunny-beyond on Friday afternoon.  Goldie has had cataracts for quite awhile and has been fully blind for a few weeks, although for the most part she knew her way around her living areas and Benji.  But in the past few days she began to be listless, not eat much, and lost control of her bodily functions.  It was very hard and sad to just keep her clean and comfortable.  In the long run it is for the very best, for now just incredibly sad and empty. 

We got Goldie and her brother Bluie, as babies, 8 1/2 years and more ago.  American fuzzy lops.  Bluie had a congenital issue, and though we gave him almost daily anti-biotic shots and periodic hydration treatments, he lived well for several years. 

There will never be another Goldie.

"FIVE YEARS ...

"And I have been part of it the whole time."  -  Princess in Charge.

HOP, HOP, HOP ...

.."You hop Benji, I'm busy." - Goldi - Nomming.

"The guy came about 10 days ago and "harvested" the hops - I was gone and missed it.  These pix show what is left now, just a hunk that hung up on the roof - and now all way too dry.  He cut down the vines and then mostly cut off the sprigs with those flower-like things - they were still a bit green and very fluffy.  It's those that go into beer making.  Said he got enough for quite a few "batches" of beer, what ever that means.  Still waiting for a sample!"  -  RG the Remiss 'Splainer.

"CAT ON THE RUN!

... KB was way out in the neighbor's pasture when I opened the door and said "Kitty Boy".  I think he expects food!  That boy can move."  -  RG the Cat Whisperer.

"I suspect that this is the last of the nasturtiums from outside.  Our days are pretty short now up here at 48.5 degrees N. Latitude!   They hung on for a loooong time!"  -  RG the Forager.

"And I picked the last apple tree today - Melrose - great for pie - which I made!  Thank you Dough Boy for the crusts!  (If you are keeping score it was Peach, Blue Berry, and Black Berry before this one!)"  -  Chef RG-Ardee.

"HI! I'M BENJI! ...

TALKING POLITICS

"But not these fellas.  They are just tuned in for the opening of the Oats box.."

"Ever see taters picked?  The lead tractor slowly pulls that orange digger.  It moves the taters up conveyor belts and shakes off much of the dirt and gives them a bit of a rinse. Then it dumps them into the truck.  The truck is being pulled by the other tractor because the field is so muddy.  These are either delightful reds or else Yukon Golds.  They get stored in climate controlled warehouses and are bagged and sold all over the world for many months."  -  RG the InFarmationer!  (PS - remind me to tell you about my idea for a robot blueberry picker!  I'm gonna be rich and famous!)

"Uh - BL!  There is supposed to be something in it?"  -  Benji the Cute.
