"...No. There is Another..."

AHH... The infamous Words of YODA!

So, remember that terrible TERRACE TOMATO TRAGEDY [CLICK HERE] in August...? And, the subsequent escalation? [CLICK HERE]

 
One of the "alleged" Suspects - SQUIRREL-MUNK - recently seen at the previous Crime Scene.
 



Well, unbeknownst to Most, there actually WAS a LONE SURVIVOR! Who, had been secretly put into Protected Custody and Relocated to the safety of the Kitchen Window Sill.

Since then, IT has recovered to finally Ripen. And, Tonight, to alas, fulfill ITS Destiny!

MOTHER remarked, that IT was quite DELICIOUS!



--------------------------------------------------------------------

IN OTHER NEWS:

PARTS 2 & 3 of The LSP are now complete to the point of awaiting Their Final BORDER TRIM. Progress will once again, return to PART 1.

A little over 3 Weeks until My First CRAFT SALE - We've secured 3 Tables at the Event for Myself, MOTHER, and Our Neighbour, MADAME Q. It'll be Their first time at that Venue - should be FUN!

Oh! And, I caught THIS [CLICK HERE] gorgeous little GUY on the NEWS Tonight! A New Born EASTERN BLACK RHINO! - I am sooo smitten!!  Is HE just too CUTE or what?!

It Must Be Autumn...

..THE LEAVES are falling and My Laptop is getting drowned in COTTON YARN "FLUFF" from doing The LSP. -- THIS is "how" DUST-BUNNIES are Born!  And, I've got some *real* HARVEYs around here!

Anyway, You've all been great with coming back to VISIT Here, despite the Short Posts... So, here's a bit of AUTUMN "Eye Candy" for You!


"RED BARN" - done in BARN, RED, and CHOCOLATE


"PEACHES IN CREAM"- done in PALE YELLOW, PEACH, and CHOCOLATE

You know, it's a good thing that I posted THIS one - I just noticed that IT had NEVER been uploaded to My PHOTOBUCKET Site!

On TOP of The World!

YAY!!

THE CHILEAN MINERS are being "Rescued" as I type... It's BEYOND Doubtful that *any* of My BLOOG Posts will ever top THAT!!

Especially, as I spend My Time continuing My push to COMPLETE The LSP. It was just another boring little Day...

O-kay...except.. maybe for that POSTCARD of a GREY Squirrel I got in the MAIL. And, watching the RED One - [I'm still thinking that IT's really a Squirrel-Chipmunk hybrid] - going NUTS over *every* Bird-Abandoned Sunflower Seed on Our porch!

Then again, at the End of the Day, the on-going 21st-Century "JULES VERNE"-esque Rescue is still waay MORE exciting and rewarding!!

Bogged in BLOOGSVILLE...

JUST, so You *know* - TODAY, was pretty much a RERUN of YESTERDAY...

  • It was SUNNY out.
  • I worked on The LSP.
  • The Neighbours are STILL "roofing"!
  • I'm hard-pressed to find something INTERESTING and *not* Time-consuming, to BLOOG about!


OH! I know! -- BASKETS!!

Sure. Why not? Huh? Everyone loves BASKETS - They're TIMELESS!

Saw THESE in that New IKEA CATALOGUE - P. 193. -- Yeah, I could so make These... Actually, I HAVE made something similar before... But, in a nice really THICK Cotton Yarn - not the totally Synthetic 100% Polypropylene here.

However, the "sticking" point would be The PRICE... I can't make a SET OF 4 for $19.99!

Oh, well... Perhaps, if I have some Time after The LSP, I might whip up one or two of These OR, a close enough Knockoff!


HEY! LOOK! Found Something to BLOOG about!

10-10-10

IN  BINARY Numbers - 101010 would equal 42! ... Hmm, how does that infamous LINE go...?

"..I always thought Something was fundamentally WRONG with The Universe..."
NOT that Today was bad or weird or anything... Well..okay, except perhaps, the Part where it was SUNNY out again!

-- I just thought that this little Numerical observation was "interesting"... That's all...

Actually, My DAY has been spent making good progress with The LSP. However, there's still a lot MORE to be done! So glad, that it's a Long Weekend!

In the meantime, For My Fellow CANADIAN Readers:

HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY, EH!

BOO-BUMPing In The BLACK

COOL, crisp and SUNNY out Today!! Nary a Cloud in the Sky...

However, We left the House a bit later than We usually do on Saturdays. Probably, a good thing as My SISTER called just as We were about to walk out the Door... Another Ten minutes and we were pulling out.

Circled Our Neighbourhood... nothing. Headed out to the Usual Haunts. Nothing there, either. Not surprised really. It's the first nice day and a Long Weekend in this part of the World. Dropped by that local Mall to check out the SALLY ANN.

Hmm.. Lots of People here Today... Maybe, it's because We've arrived later than usual..?
--Nevermind. Let's do a quick scan of the Shelves... Ah! A plastic bag of something Dark, placed on the "Glass" Shelves... Several pieces, sounds like clanging glass... Smelling like a Discovery!

Wait.

Just, overheard Someone mentioning about having to be in the Checkout Line by 11...? Oooo! Could it be? Would explain "The Crowd"... YES!! -- HALF-PRICE EVERYTHING IN THE STORE SALE!!

*Where's* MOTHER?! aghhh.. No time, almost 11:00, taking My Mystery Bag of Glass and getting Parked in the LINE. Which, thankfully, is moving quite slowly. Should provide sufficient time for Her to surface - and, for Me to check out My Bag...

Ooooooo!!  SHINY!  LOOK!



[I only photographed 3 - this is about Actual Size]

SIX BLACK "DEPRESSION" GLASS COASTERS!! No apparent chips, just a bit of grit... [Found a few scratches on a couple later, but I don't care!] Sticker says $1.99. With the SALE, it'll only be a Dollar... Loving the Design DETAILS. -- I'm going to have to do some "research". These are either the Real Deal and 60plus years old, OR really nice quality Reproductions.

Whatever, at THIS Price, I'm NOT saying NO! In either case, I'm loving Them!

Ah! There's MOTHER now -- with a couple of bags of YARN in hand... When I informed Her of the SALE Situation, She scurried off to get *another* Bag!

We continued afterward, to hit a few Grocery Stores, with limited success. Dropped by THE MALL. MOTHER dropped off a few Brownies for CINDERIA and TICKET WICKET GUY.. -- Hey! Cool! I actually WON $7. on one of My old Lottery Tickets! WOOHOO!

Whipped on over to COSTCO after that. Had some great Tiger Shrimp/Veggie thing. Tasted like a Shrimp Roll sans Roll. Was rather good... Managed to *survive* the BAD Shopping Cart Drivers, AND Their Entourages!! THANK YOU, decadent CHOCOLATE samples for helping Me maintain My SANITY!!

We went straight Home after that.

New Neighbours still doing His Roof. Hope He gets it done quickly, cause You never know how long this Absence of Precipitation will last! ...And, oh, let's not forget about that Section of Their FENCE that BLEW down in big Gust of Wind on Thursday when I was out.









So. Last night, SISTER calls to say, to check Our E-MAIL...

Because, Her daughter - MOM+BUMP - sent THIS and another Pic of
"Their" HALLOWE'EN Costume!

Bear in mind, THE BUMP is DUE to make HER Debut withing the next
2 Weeks!

-- If not, SOONER!

[INSERT- RingTone of "PAINT IT BLACK" by The Rolling Stones]







"Good Evening! - Do You KNOW *where* Your *Blanket* IS..? - You've reached the BASEMENT, DOC speaking. How can I help You?"


"Who?..AUNTIE SHAN..? Ahh, no. Sorry. She's unable to come to THE BLOOG right now..."





"..What? ..Noo, sorry.. She'll be busy with PROJECT Meetings ALL night.."

"No.. No, I'm afraid I'm not at liberty to say... Yeah. Yeah, it's a Secret... Sorry."




"Oh, sure. Sure. No problem... I'll tell Her.. uh-huh.."

"..ah, listen.. Why don't You.. LEAVE a COMMENT..? -- I'm certain that She'll get back to You, as soon as, She can!"

"..Okay. Sounds great! ...You, have a wonderful Evening, too!  And, Thanks for Calling! ..Bye-bye now!"
