    Does that pesky parrot have a friend whoโ€™s willing to come to my house? And, birdieโ€™s waddle is too cute.

    It’s a baby dinosaur!!! At least that’s what baby birds always look like to me. Love the “No more computer for you!!!” parrot, it’s like your mom telling you to go outside and don’t come inside until dinner time. The onion chopping ninjas were out in force with Jake’s story. That must have been so hard for his owner, and fingers crossed they’re reunited. Those ceramics are stunning, I’m like oooh, want that one, and that, and ….. Went to their website https://kilnsolo.com/, and the prices aren’t too bad considering how much detail is the cups. They’re all around $100. They even have some that look like an ice cream cone.

      I love the ice cream cones!

      Though I feel like this one is looking at me…

        Itโ€™s been bugging me all day that this mug reminds me of a tv character. And then the light bulb went off – Itโ€™s the Cookie Monster!! I think itโ€™s the blueberries set up higher like his eyes.

          Cookie Monster was my first thought when I saw it! ๐Ÿ˜„

    I was hearing Foghorn Leghorn in my head the whole time I was watching the video of the parrot, I guess that’s what happens when you’re raised on Looney Tunes cartoons LOL!!

    Jake and his hoomin have warmed my heart. Coincidentally, last weekend I went to a local screening of a documentary about helping unhoused people and solving the problem of homelessness. While I’m far from an expert, it seems like the fire station did exactly the right thing for everyone involved. Hoping for a happy reunion soon.

    Tara, any word on Swee’Pea? Is your sweet kitty back home now?

    Maybe I should have been a writer…

    Two new Olive & Mable videos in two days!? (Well, one’s more about owls. Owliveย & Mable?)
