PIGS!

OOOPS!  Pardon me -- I'm a city girl.  Those are COWS!  Right?  Yup ... those are definitely TWO cows under a still-standing (mostly) tree, at first curious about that strange, two-footed creature with a black box growing out of her head.
 OH!  This is divine.  Gourmet tree leaves.  We scored!
AHHH JEEEZE ... this was supposed to be a by-invitation-only private banquet.  Which one of you lowlifes alerted the buttinskies?!
HEY!  Move aside Bozo...I can SEE there's still a branch left.  What a bunch of hogs you are!

Guess we won't be invited back to that blowout spread any time soon.
YA THINK?!
Oh well...I guess the grass really IS greener anyway.

A QUOTIDIAN ROUTINE

When day is done, leftovers are wrapped, the kitchen is spruced, and the water stops running, the birds, Beezer and Squeeky, know it's their time for some quality interaction with their "mates," Joe and Janet.  This is Squeeky in Janet's lap chowing down on her special out-of-her-cage, after-dinner treat.
Janet was originally Beezer's "mate," but after that traitor went and introduced Squeeky to the household, and Beezer was no longer an only-parrot, he stopped singing and talking, snubbed Janet and defected.  Joe became Beezer's new "mate."  Sometimes Joe is a little late to hit his chair so Beezer will deign to *temporarily* perch on Janet's old familiar shoulder.  But only for a few minutes!
Beezer's special after-dinner, out-of-his-cage treat is the opportunity to groom Joe's nails!  Or maybe his beard.  If you click to enlarge this photo, you can admire Beezer's Mabeline lashes.

MY SISTER...

...has great hair.  She was born with popcorn curls and doesn't do one damned thing to get it looking like this!!!  Doesn't even use a blow dryer!

GREETINGS...

From the Pacific Northwest... 










...where Mt Rainier makes its own weather.
SO COOL!
