Taxidermy

As many times as we have hiked the Trails around here

we have never seen anything scarier than a Big Cactus.

So sometimes it's a good idea to check in with the local nature center to find what is actually lurking in the bushes.

Nice Kitty!

Run! RUN!!!

Taxidermy is Sad and Creepy yet so Interesting. How often can you come face to face with a Mountain Lion, then calmly sit down to enjoy your picnic lunch?

I have spent more time than I care to admit wandering around Natural History Museums peering into the glassy eyes of Stuffed Animals.

Before There Was Pinterest

This WAS my Inspiration Board.

Eek!

The only thing this inspired was CHAOS.

Then I discovered Pinterest.

Are you on Pinterest?

So Neat & Tidy & Organized.

No Dangerous Tacks or Paper.

And you can steal...I mean PIN from other Pinterest Boards.

Plus I have acquired a Beautiful Imaginary Wardrobe

That I can Wear in All of my Beautiful Imaginary Houses.

I find it Very Relaxing.

But I am Completely Addicted!!!!

At least it's Cheaper Than Therapy!

Dog Day

Some days just seem to take on a theme.

My Dog Pancake

The other day I took my dog for a walk in the park.

Then I went shopping with my friend Lori who seems unusually interested in dog bowls even though she doesn't own a dog. Hmmmm....

Then I took the advice of this Post Card and followed the Dog to the Antique Store where I was confronted by Dogs at every turn.

This was a Dog Day!
