Paws, Hooves, & Valentine Grooves

 Happy Valentines Day. The Big Cat and the Big Cow are both ready! The cat is dressed very modestly.


The Big Cow, on the other hand, went all out!



He has his own mailboxes for Valentines from his favorite bulls.



People have quite a few Valentine flags hanging out.



This home has matching mailbox and flag!



Even the Burlington store has heart logos!


Love settles in like a quilt—stitched with whiskers and gentle moos.

 I have a lot going on today, so I will be taking the day off the computer. I'll leave you with something funny, and see you on Saturday.

When The Sky Becomes The Street

 Did you know that this spring they will be taking orders for the first flying car? They are called Air Cars, and will cost almost a million dollars.  Here are a few of the actual cars


They can transform from car to plane in under 2 minutes. They can drive, take off vertically, and fly.




They run on gas, can run at 155 miles per hour, and have a range of 621 miles. The inventor is Stefan Klein. Thoughts?


“If my car could fly, I’d finally understand what ‘taking the high road’ really means.”

Say Cheese

 We made another visit to the cheese shop. The Amish buggy is still in front.


The shop is Mennonite run.



This is just a small part of all the homemade fudge flavors.


I'd love this little cart, but it was just for display. So many times I have tried to buy things that were just for display purposes!


Again with the pig's ears! I can't even...


And back outside.




“A cheese shop is where diets go to rethink their priorities.”

Gold In Motion

 Several years back, little gold bugs invaded our hollyhocks. And I mean GOLD, I had never seen bugs like it. Just recently, I have found what they are. Golden Tortoise Beetles. 


It's metallic sheen looks like polished gold. But when disturbed, they turn red.



They are encased by a thin clear covering, like a soap bubble.



As beautiful as they are, their larvae are frighteningly ugly.


I feel lucky to have seen them, and even luckier that it was not in their larvae form.


“The golden tortoise beetle: nature’s tiniest knight in shimmering armor.”

Chipping In

 I thought I would tell you about a new potato chip I found. Chick-Fil-A chips! They are waffle shaped and are really good. So far, I have only seen them at Kroger.


Potato chips: proof that happiness can crunch.
