Toby’s TV Lament

*
Sadly, it only works for Toby.

I only care about TV if there is a ringing doorbell.

Looking for ways to stay warm? Consider this handmade, handquilted Bear Paw Quilt!
Made of a patchwork of calicoes and flannels, this rustic 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 sunny 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.

I don’t know what you’re complaining about. My pee smells nice.

Bitey Mom may be making a joke about pee pills, but inside she is concerned. I know that little Murphy is only on loan from heaven, but I still don’t like seeing his health decline.

To the Victor Go the Spoils
*
My garden produced very few vegetables this year, but so far it’s grown two rabbits, eight mice and two voles.
If you have the funds, I suggest investing in Victor stocks.
(By the way, you’re welcome that I didn’t provide photos of all the dead critters!)

You mean I was supposed to be doing something
other than eating tomatoes out here?

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

Hallowhat?

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!

In Memoriam:
*
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.

Mesozoic Musings

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!!!

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.
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.

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.
*
Me? A destroyer?
(OK, so 10 minutes after this picture was taken, every toy was shredded….)
I still miss that crazy boy.
