The adventures of little boy Finn

“I don’t wanna go to preschool today.”

Finn: “I don’t wanna go to preschool today. I just don’t want to.”

Mama: “Well, what would you rather do?”

Finn: “I wanna play…and make some phone calls.”

Pic o’ the day: A raccoon visitor

Everyday Daddy put the remnants of my PB&J sandwich on the railing of the back deck for the birds & “squayles”. Daddy looked out this afternoon to see this guy eating all of it! I said, “I love him!”. Daddy & I stood inside the back porch, about 8 feet from him, & watched him til he was done. Then he waddled off behind the garage into the woods behind our house.

“Out of nowhere, I said this tonight…”

Out of nowhere, I said this tonight in bed while stalling for time: “It’s rabbit season! Duck season! Rabbit season! Duck season!”
