Due to a change in life, I find myself unable to make Royal pillows any longer. I still have several large ones and several smaller ones in stock, and I would like to find good homes for them. While I am unable to deliver in time for Christmas, these pillows might make a lovely gift for the princess in your life who may be having a birthday coming up.

If the Great Pumpkin shows up, I get to eat him, right?

(Even the docents at the museum were impressed with the amount of research I put into the book. Come on, give it a try. It would make a great gift for someone you love!)
I’m not sure if the Great Pumpkin will visit us, but it looks like the Great Horned Owl did.
This year my garden yielded mostly rabbits and bugs. The exception was that I did get pumpkins. I took this picture while I was still harvesting them, so this isn’t their full number. In all I picked 49.
(Off to the left is what happens if you don’t pick zucchini in time.)
*
Can we go visit the garden?
*
While the pumpkins were in the garden, Murphy didn’t seem to realize what they were. He was more interested in the rotten tomatoes.
*
When I moved the pumpkins to the porch, he still didn’t seem to recognize what they were.
Once I started bringing them inside to cook them, he suddenly noticed them. Now he is a total pest wanting more, more, more. (I tried handing him one of the smaller pumpkins to play with or eat, but he turned his nose up at it. He wanted it cooked first.)
Gimme! Gimme! That’s dog food. I know it!

What have I ever done to give you that impression?
Actually, a number of people have commented that they think Murphy might not have perfect vision. Starvation can affect the eyes, so it is possible. To me it is funny that he never seems to recognize me in a hat even though I wear them all the time.
I dunno…I think my glasses look good on him!

This year’s problems started with “Watership Down”. It’s difficult to tell from the photo, but those weeds are over 6′ tall.
*
That’s more than 12 Murphys!
*
*
The season began with these voracious little tyrants. I was kind and didn’t kill them, and how did they repay me? At least one dug its way back into the garden and moved into the bean patch.
*
*
Can you find the bunny hidden in these beans?
Neither could I.
*
*
I was taught that pests don’t like marigolds, but rabbits love them. This marigold had so many pretty flowers on it before the rabbit moved in.
*
*
The poor, devoured plant had the misfortune to grow slightly closer to the beans than it’s cousins and therefore lost its robes of glory.
Totally disgusted with the damage the Bean Rabbit was doing, I decided to try a humane trap. Instead of a rabbit, I caught an opossum.
Not my image. Borrowed from internet.
It turned out the rabbit was too small for the trap and was able to squeeze in and out between the bars. So, for several days I just fed the rabbit. The opossum was safely released to its home in the morning after also having a good meal of fruit.
After days of fruitless (ha ha) wabbit hunting, I startled an adult doe on the hillside. “No way!”, I thought. “I will NOT have you burrowing into this hill and leaving ticks and poop everywhere!” First I cut down all the foliage on the hill, then I sprayed with stinky spray and spread Irish Spring soap chips. I planted yet another pinwheel on the hill. Surely I had won this time.
Nope. The next morning I found my pinwheel knocked over, and this at its base.
(I stood the pinwheel back up.)
Inside that opening you could see little bunny ears and eyes. Aagh!
Despite my failures, I knew I had one weapon left in my arsenal…..
You say there’s a what right behind me?
Aagh! Despite being 3/4 Yorkie, this dog, as they say, won’t hunt! He was completely oblivious to the nest behind him.
(Don’t worry, I wouldn’t have let him hurt the baby bunnies. I just wanted to see if he would notice their scent.)
I don’t care for Hasenpfeffer, but I do like a nice marinara.
While taking pictures off my camera, I noticed that Doogie had a lot of qualities we see in most politicians.
He is willing to blame others.
He claim other’s things as his own.
He’s been caught fooling around on film.
He likes to conduct business in the dark.
He’ll turn his back on family and friends if it suits his needs.
He’s willing to let others pull his strings.
With these qualifications, surely someone will designate him as our next candidate!
Vote for me! I’m cute!
Vote for me. I’m cuter.

I wasn’t sure what would happen if I let Murphy into the garden. Sadly, I created a monster. Now that he knows food comes from there, he wants to go all the time. It wouldn’t be such an issue if he didn’t get a barely passing score from the vet at his last visit. Chubby Chorkie here needs to be careful of his calories.
*
Don’t just stand there, open the gate woman!
Thanks to Murphy’s sad origin story, he gets pretty much whatever he wants which in this case means a lot of time sniffing overripe tomatoes. (If only his manly dog scent would scare the bunnies away.)
