Saw some snow thus morning!!!! I’m not thrilled! I need two days of Indian summer yet!

I made sweet and sour red cabbage for dinner, and it smells so good that I’m off to have dinner.

You should totally market the treat ball idea for humans. Claim it’s a highly researched diet idea with the added benefit of improving cognitive ability and it will sell like hotcakes. You could market new designs every six months or so. I’d probably even buy one.

Hi Charlie, Yes it is not so nice here either, at plus 5 Celsius in Canada’s hot spot. We had mixed precip this morning — wet stringy snow yuck yuck yuck. I had my heat on for a few days and this day I just left it up although it isn’t running as it is warm in here. I had my red blankie on too for a bit. Soup sounds beautiful — I have it year round. Ask Phillippe if he ever tries roasted sweet potato in his turkey or chicken soup. It is beautiful.

Sounds like a perfect Sunday. We’re still seeing temps in the mid to upper 80’s and I am so ready for some hot chocolate weather!! Sweet little mouse looks very comfy and content!! Nice post, Charlie!

Wonderful Charlie! We are getting frost in the morning and it snowed north of here on Friday night. It wasn’t too bad mid day here. I cooked burgers on the grill.

Great doodle Charlie. It’s the time of year here, where the weather can’t make up its mind. They’re forecasting 17°c later in the week compared to 10 today.

Ahhh, he is great! His little red coat is darling. I was looking forward to a cozy day yesterday. We were suppose to get some rain, but it failed to show up. Instead it was 67 and sunny. My brain can’t wrap around this weather we are having in the middle of October. They say the cold is coming in later this week. Yeah, we will see. 😉

hehe! Now you’re just gloating! lol 😃💕 Yeah, it’s going to be warm on Thursday here, but the rest of time, chills and more chills! hehe

Thanks so much, Jean! 😃💕 So true! I always try to take time on the weekend to just do nothing much at all and enjoy some quiet time. It’s how I then get through a busy week!

Thanks so much, Mugdha! 😃💕 Yeah, it would feel very powerful to actually manage the weather. hehe… but predictable gets boring after awhile. It’s fun to see what the weather will do on its own!

That is crazy! It must be from our “hot” day yesterday and the cold front coming in later. Mother Nature is messing with out minds!!

Hehe… it’s envies… sometimes I think auto-correct loses it’s mind from time to time! lol And yeah, you can keep that heat for sure!!

This little kitten looks like he might be happy to be off on a happy adventure!! Love it!

Lack of training, lack of resources and built-in obsolescence and, yeah. It’s hard to get decent appliances that last for any length of time. But at least we do have appliances and aren’t scrubbing the laundry on river rocks while keeping an eye out for crocodiles. It’s all a matter of perspective, lol!

Our microwave, dishwasher, and lawnmower all died fairly recently! And these days its hard to get appliances in a timely manner. Damn Covid! Plus I hate the dishwasher we bought online, and the microwave is annoying too. Joe likes the mower though.

I personally believe in other lifeforms. A certain politician is proof of that! 😂😂 But really, the universe is full of suns. Earth can’t be the only planet that can support life. You’ll be looking at some of those suns tonight in our ever expanding universe.

Fascinante, Charlie, muy lindo

Super Charlie! I’d always hope to see a flying saucer but never did.

Hope you and Phillipe had a glorious time celebrating and searching the starry skies! We had friends out for a few days last Summer and we did indeed see a UFO, AND it was the same weekend Area 51 had that huge group of people camp out and have a mini festival outside the perimeter! We live between military installments and we couldn’t help but laugh and guess that someone was having a go at that crowd! It flew up our coast and hung a right over us and zipped out to the desert! Considering the four of us don’t drink we still have no better explanation! 🛸😆😄😆

Great doodle Charlie.

Thanks so much, Marisela! 😃💕 I remember that from the Simpsons! Funny! And oh wow… that’s horrible the guy botched the sewer line connection, that could have been really bad. It was a wonderful evening here under the stars!

Thanks so much, Mugdha! 😃💕 Glad you enjoyed the kitty… I’m sure there’s a story there! And it was a lovely evening under the stars with many stories to tell!

Thanks so much, Kerfe! 😃💕

Yes, everything happens for a reason. Glad you got the discount at least. That’s awesome! 😃

Thanks so much, Shawn! 😃💕 Yay! I was hoping it looked like deep space!

Great pirate Charlie! Have a great weekend! I’m enjoying a rainy day here, painting in my studio!

That’s one advantage to a smaller dog – you see it when they’re trying to get stuff off the counter. With my mastiffs, their noses were so close to the counter. An ‘accidental’ nudge and “Oh, look! The food is on the floor. Mom and Dad MUST have meant it for me!” And boy you had to move fast to convince them it wasn’t so. A whole pizza could disappear down the black hole of their throats at warp speed.

Maybe our favorite memory of our first Yorkie pup was him standing in the middle of our pizza box, discarded pizza crust in his mouth like a cross bow, and snarling at us as we tried to separate them! 😄😁😆🤣We had the hardest time not laughing as we tried to be stern disciplinarian of our pizza pirating pooch! He didn’t find us as amusing as I pitched him off the coffee table, sans crust!! I was thinking about you playing the villain or dastardly pirate-sorry, you would have a tough time convincing us. But I have seen more villains in film and media lately that really are a surprise, maybe you could score one of those roles! It would be fun to “play” naughty but then just go home and be able to sleep 😆😇😴

We had Friday fish tonight. Delivery is a wonderful thing. I’m working on a negative painting I’m deep into and didn’t feel like cooking. Tomorrow I’m going to get Joe to light the grill for the last time this season and cook pork chops on it. My yard girl is coming tomorrow so I’m going to get her to plant the garlic I just got in the mail. Except for the leaves, there’s really not much left to do. Maybe set up the bird feeders. Its that time of year again.

so cute so cute those ears

Cute pirate, Charlie. I remember seeing Disney’sTreasure Island at Saturday morning cinema when I was a child. Did you have Saturday cinema clubs for kids in the US?

Awesome little pirate!

This is cute, but your puppy looks like he is miserable. Just like he would be in real life, if his owners were to dress him up. Tee hee! Spot on!

Yep there was always the grownup to remind us we were little. When I was four I knew everything (ahem) and could not for the life of me figure out why they would not treat me like an adult. Ack. Enjoy your pizza — I passed by Pizza Hut yesterday and yearned for some but I’ll wait til the viral seige is over. Happy weekend.

Thanks so much! 😃💕

Bonjour, Cathy! I’m working on practicing illustrations now for a storybook. Sorry, you don’t care for the animals, I wanted to sketch more narrative pieces, rather than just objects as I’ve sketched all that I could imagine! hehe 😉

Thanks so much, Marisela! 😃💕 hehe… yeah, I think dogs are all pirates at heart! At least when food is the treasure!! lol

Thanks so much, Mugdha! 😃💕 Yeah, I always comment to kids based on what I think they were going for with their costume. They all look cute, sure, but if they wanted to be scary, then I’ll jump and act frightened. They are so pleased! hehe
