"ABUSE. RABBIT ABUSE I SAY. ...

... They threw me down, sat on me, and clipped my nails.  But I gave them a good battle!"  ("Look pretty sweet, eh?")  -  Chico the Dandy.

"Here is a nice award we got!  Passing it on to Life and Times of Bunnies, Henry the Turtle, RoadBunner, Clovie Boy and Beginning to Bird.  Go for it!"  -  RG the Generous.

"KEEP DRY, KEEP WARM, ...

... stay out of the wind, and Keep Clam*! - Like Us." - Goldie and Benji the Cozy.

(* It's a Seattle thing - google Ivar Haglund.)

ARGO

"I'm not a movie fan, BL is.  But this movie has been getting really great reviews.  Two of the characters are Cora and Mark.  I believe it has been virtually unknown until now, here, but Cora and Mark live in Anacortes, the town right next door to us.  And Cora is a lady we have known for many years - she works at one of our local Conservation groups - and is a really nice and un-assuming person!  We did not know it either until a recent article in our local paper!" - RG the Amazed.

"I'M JUST A RABBIT, BUT ....

... I would rather sit on Joe Biden's lap and bite Paul Ryans's ankles."  -  The Princess.

"My plan is that you do neither!  So don't go getting me in trouble here."  -  RG the Wimp.

  

STILL SNUGGLING

These two do like to be close!

"WHICH PLAID DO YOU LIKE BEST ...

... Mr.  Winston, sir?  The two-tone brown or the green and white?  For your curtains."  -  RG the Tailor.

"Gag me with a spoon, RG.  I want something bright, flashy, bold.  I want to make a big splash!  (Besides, these stink - they are paint rags.)" - Winston the POOH-ON-YOU!

"Oh Oh!"

"HEY! PAINT! ....

... I bet I could help a LOT!" -  KB le' Arteest.

"Get OUT OF THERE!"

"Big rains coming this weekend - we have been more than 2 nice months with almost none.  Kiss the "Morning Coffee in the Flowered Patio" good bye for the year!"  -  RG the Forecaster. 

"HOT COFFEE, THE MORNING PAPER, ...

... and a snuggle bunn.  What a way to start a nice day." -  RG the Peaceful.

"And then, the last bit of painting - at the tippy-top."  -  RG the Petrified.

PS - Some local gossip and a great opportunity HERE.

WINNIE SAYS -

"If snow and cold are coming then it's time for some box upgrades.  I want it triple-boxed with those nice flannel plaid curtains over the doors.  A goodly pile of fresh hay on the floor.  They have all weekend to do the work.  And then don't put me outside before noon and get me back inside by 4:00pm.  That ought to do it - for now."

"Nothing but the best, Winnie Pooh Pooh, nothing but the best." - RG the Easy.

"BRRRR - COLD!

...  I wonder if snow is coming? - The Princess of the Weather.

"Mercy!  Oh No!  There is a snowflake now!  Shudder.  It's going to be a LONG winter."  -  Racer the Alarmist.

"Oh Racer, you boob.  That is just your magnificent nose.  It is early October still.  BL isn't even quite through with the house painting.  Man up."  -  RG the Firm.

"I HEARD ABOUT THE DEBATE ...

... Yawn.  If Romney wins I chew the chair arm.  If Obama wins I chew the plaid shirt."  -  The Princess the Decided! 

"Me?  I'm just going to stop and smell the flowers."  -  RG the Philosopher.

"THERE'S A STORY HERE ...

... I just don't know what it is.  Anybody - help me out?"  -  RG the Befuddled.

So some fall asters ...

zinnias and marigolds...

and one confused Christmas cactus! (Actually two, in one pot!)

"SHOULD I GO?

Is it safe out beyond the little green curtain?  Will you back me up RG?"  -  Kitty Boy Wonders.

"Well, I see a blurry, fuzzy, gray, loaf-shaped object out there, KB.  I don't think it's the cable guy."  -  RG Interprets.

"AMSCRAY."

"I'm eating."  -  Racer the Occupied.

"The last day of crabbing season until next July.  There are a couple of keepers in there.  A beautiful day out on the water.  The high mound on the right - the paler one - is Orcas Island, one of the San Juan Islands."  -  RG the Tour Guide.

"WE'LL BE HERE ALL WEEKEND.

"Nom, Nom, Nom, ..."  -  Benji and Goldie the Contented.

"I guess we'll just keep the platters full then."  -  RG the Waiter.

"WANTED! ...

... Nose Rubs."  -  The Princess

"IT WAS WORTH IT! ...

... Look at all the closet broom(er)s I exposed!"  -  St. Winston.

"No comment."  -  RG the Speechless.

"SCARY BACK HERE ...

... Zoey.  Too many ups and downs and fast curves."  -  Chico the Wimp.

"Much better.  Thank you Zoey!"  -  Chico the Clever!

And AWAY they go!!!!!

BENJI'S WHINE ....

"Goldie and I having a nice day outside on the deck and then these two hon-yocks with their paint and ladders and racket and yak yak yak.  Stinks, hurts our ears, and seems to have no redeeming value whatsoever."  -  Benji the Whiner.

"I know Benji - but we are done on your side now.  Tomorrow Racer and The Princess must put up with it.  By the way, guess who goes up and does the high spots with green?  Not KB, that is for sure.  Not the cook either - she steadies the ladder.  (Our previous cat Maxine (RIP) could climb a ladder and get on the roof!)  The beautiful tree is a Katsura - smells like roasting marshmallows - colors up and loses leaves early."  -  RG the 'Splainer. 

"TOES AGLOW ....

... and my head in fresh hay.  Can't beat that!"  -  Racer the Resting.

"Winston got extra snuggles and a treat.  Are you all satisfied now?  What was I to do?  Leave him in there to starve to death?"  -  RG the Exonerated.

WINSTON'S RETREAT.

"We accidentally left a gate open and Winnie-the-Pooh got back into this long skinny hallway.  We had to broom him out!"  -  RG the Dumbkoff.

"We re-roofed!  Brown is the new Blue!  Don't you just love the ambiance?  "It'llDo" ..."  RG the Cheap.
