Der Sturm

Sturm!

Weh wild und frei

Sing mir dein Leid

Zeig mir den drei

(Der Sturm, Blumfeld)

Storm!

Blow wild and free

sing me your song

Show me the rotation (spin)

Thank heavens for the Germans or we wouldn’t have any good songs about this weekend.

I’m not sure what is going on in other parts of the country right now, but they keep pushing back the time the storm will get here. Saturday was supposed to be the worst day, but now snow isn’t expected to start till 3:00 am. This area has been so painfully dry for three years that it is hard to believe we will get significant snowfall.

Murphy doesn’t like going outside to potty, but he still wants to go for walks. 🙄. I would be happy to sit at home for a few days and watch TV (presuming we still have power), but I guess that’s not going to happen with this little motivator around.

Mom makes me wear two coats when I go out. ☹️

Toby’s TV Lament

I'm sad.  Oh why?  I have a favorite TV show that I've watched for years.  I always figured they'd get tired of making it before I tired of watching it.

*

The latest season, though, feels recycled and lazy.  The sad thing is that if the show gets cancelled, they will blame politics instead of less than stellar writing.

*

The whole experience left me with a bad taste in my mouth.  I wish someone would come along with a big pencil and just erase the latest season from my memory so I could just remember the happy times.

*

Funny, I know someone...

*

Sadly, it only works for Toby.

*

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

Bear Paw Quilt

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.

The Peacoat

*

For real?  Honest?  Yes!

*

Yes!  Every day I get to take a pill that makes me pee a LOT!

*

Mom, can we - Absolutely not!

*

For Heaven's sake, Murphy, how did you manage to soak your entire coat - even the collar?!?

*

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.

Hallowhat?

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?

*

In Memoriam:

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.

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!!!

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?
