Disputed Territory
Cats are so transparent, the Loggerhead Shrike mused. The feline tail twirled back and forth as it was sneaking up on the grasshopper. At the bottom of the post, Cat got ready to pounce. Timing is everything, Shrike thought as it dove down, snatching up the grasshopper in its beak.
Cat jumped up, swiping its paw at the now empty post. “Hey! That’s mine!” Cat objected.
“Don’t think so.” Shrike impaled the grasshopper on a nail protruding from the porch.

Hubby planted some flower seeds in hopes of having a butterfly garden again this year. It rained the day after he planted them so maybe the timing was just right. Last year we had to depend on a lot of volunteers like this sunflower bud.
Rolling Pins
Sometimes advertising really works on me. When I saw this Star Wars rolling pin, I really, really wanted one. As I checked it out online, I saw the teasers about “Maybe you’d also be interested in …” and there was the Labrador Retriever rolling pin. Yes! Yes, I am interested.
I bought both. Don’t care that I gave up baking years ago.
It's a long story ...
