Guys? Are you there? I hear voices. Maybe now they'll match her weird, Bells palsied face.

I don’t see what you’re talking about. I feel fine.

Iron

Hey, don’t forget me! I broke too.

And I’m only right twice a day now!

*

These are a few of my busted up things! (Hmm, I can see why they went with the other version in the musical.)

These are only a few of the things that broke. If you added everything up, October was quite an expensive month. Uh oh Murphy, looks like a skinny Christmas this year!

As long as I get some biscuits, I’ll be happy.

Bear Paw Quilt

Looking for ways to stay warm as the days cool down? Consider this rustic Bear Paw Quilt!

This handsome Bear Paw Quilt would fit in nicely at a cabin by the lake or thrown over your couch at home.  The pattern is geometric, and the colors are bold yet earthy.  The overall effect of the quilt is of paw prints in snow.  On snowy days, the colors look so inviting it is hard not to lie down on them and take a nap.

Handmade Bear Paw Quilt and other fine gifts are available from my shop at L Bowman Studios.

Hallowhat?

What are you supposed to be? I'm a chrysanthemummy.

Geordie used to like dressing up for Halloween.

Murphy…not so much.

That brother of mine may have been your costume whore,

but I like being a naked little boy!

The New Toaster

Hm..mm..mm..

*

!

*

What the heck is this?!?

*

It's a "toaster". The other broke. I had to get a new one. I seem to recall a red one when I first came here. I rather liked the red one. If were changing "toasters", can we get it back? I don't like this one. I liked the old one. "Toasters" bring bad things. I hate them! I hate them!

*

What are you talking about? You hated the old toaster. You made fun of it all the time. Maybe I didn't actually HATE it. I mean, after a while it kind of grew on me.

*

What did you do with the old one? I...um...gave it up for adoption.

*

Adoption? Oh no! Are you going to give us up for adoption too? No! Not adoption! What if we promise to be really good and not bark too much?

I thought yoiu liked the Honda. I do, but this is what I could afford. I call slotgun!

Don’t make me go near that thing.

********************************

As if life weren’t busy enough, I had to get a new “toaster” this week. I brought it home to show Murphy, and he wouldn’t come within 10 yards of it. I guess I don’t have to worry about him borrowing it in the middle of the night…you know, to make toast.

Forcing fluids has some interesting side effects like being affected by the gravitational pull of the moon….and being able to keep up with the boys at night.

How about we start by peeing on this?

Mesozoic Musings

Have you ever wondered what dinosaurs smelled like. Can't say that I have.

*

I imagine that the stench of one huge dinosaur would be as if everyone in California's garbage had been left out to cook in the hot sun while the trash collectors were all on strike for a month. What an image.

*

Yeah, I think I'd like dinosaurs. You're a weird little dog.

*

They say the dinosaurs that survived the meteor are what we now call “birds”.

In that case, I KNOW I like dinosaurs…especially chicken ones!!!

And Again…

Is ehs keeps giving all this stuff away, why does the place still look like it's been hit by a tornado? We thought you'd realized...mom is a very bad housekeeper.

*

Ugh, are we still talking about this?

*

On the plus side, it is becoming easier to locate things when I want them. I am less likely to buy a duplicate because I can’t find the original.

I am an original, so you can always find me!

Tobymelon

Every year I end up with some unusual looking vegetables from the garden. This year wasn’t a great growing year, so I only have this offering. I planted the watermelons near the fence so that they would trellis themselves. This one obliged, but insisted on pressing itself into the mesh. To me it ended up looking a bit like Toby.

Here are some Chernobyl-style samples from previous years.

Very large garden cucumber
Huge yellow cucumber
Almost naughty looking sweet potato
Twisted sweet potato
Short, fat, carrot
Love Carrots
Zombie mitten-hand potato
Snoopy-shaped potato
Bum-shaped tomato
A strange tomato sits on a window sill.
Big yellow tomato and regular red tomato.
Mallet shaped potato

Heartbeet

Lemme at ’em! I’ll make short work of those mutant vegetables!

I accidentally learned a lesson the hard way this week. I had a small amount of watermelon with my breakfast, and by evening I was so dizzy and sick that I could barely stand. Turns out that if you are hypotensive, watermelon can make your blood pressure drop dangerously low. (It you have hypertension, though, its combination of citrulline and potassium can help lower your blood pressure!) I spent the rest of the evening chugging water and lying down – a rather sloshy and uncomfortable combination.

Every time something like this happens, I wish I could send a big “Nya! Nya!” to my poopyhead doctor who refused to listen to me.

Murphy and the Watermelon

Hey guys! You gotta see this. It's the best thing ever!

*

What's going on? Looks like you got yourself a watermelon!

*

Interesting fact about watermelon...it's a diuretic.

*

*

Send more watermelon!

*

The watermelons in the garden are finally ripe enough to pick. While most of the other foods this year were pretty awful, the watermelons are amazing. I found one about the size of a softball to give to Murphy. He immediately declared it to be the best food ever and ate the whole thing, rind and all.

I tried to keep an eye on him, but Nature took its course when my back was turned.

*

You’ll have to pay closer attention to my subtle clues.

Murphy has learned a trick from the whole incident. Now if he thinks I am taking too long to get him outside, he starts sniffing the leg of the chair that he peed on. Suddenly mom can move very quickly!

The Tube

*

I went to throw away a paper towel tube yesterday, but something stopped me. I realized that I still have an instinct to save cardboard tubes for Geordie to destroy. It’s funny the way these memories pop up at random times.

*

Cairn terrier sits surrounded by Christmas toys.

Me? A destroyer?

(OK, so 10 minutes after this picture was taken, every toy was shredded….)

I still miss that crazy boy.

Something Like the Sun

I have a friend with such incredible energy. Being around her is like standing in the sun. She lights up a room and brightens everyone's mood.

*

I am the antithesis of this friend. My dark energy drains everyone around me and makes them unhappy. I'm don't feel as exotic as a black hole. I'm more of a...a....

*

An "ask hole"? I was going to say "charcoal".

*

I was watching a TV show where a psychic medium said that the personalities of people stay the same even after they cross over. Ouch. I was hoping the suckiness of my circumstances contributed to my awful personality, but now it looks like it may be organic. I guess I won’t be able to stand my own company in the next world either.

*

Really? You’re taking life advice from TV shows?

A good way to spend the last of our hot summer days is indoors reading Dream Our World!
