"Come Saturday Morning..."

Ah! Another brisk Spring morning here in the all-glorious Commonwealth!
Here, the intrepid DG dusts off the driveway before making a quick run to Fresh Market (like for bottled water, canned goods, kindling, signal flares...). Excuse the quality of the pic; it was shot through a window. I sure ain't goin' out in this crap!

On the bright side, the house was filled with the pitter-patter of little webbed feet as the birds rushed excitedly to press their little beaks against the windows. How cute!
Even Butterball was excited.
No you know why it's no accident that this is the place they invented bourbon. We need it!

  1. Pitter-patter of webbed feet?

    I thought they either squelched or zoomed on their tummies.

    Looks lovely though. Proper winter weather not like this damp gloom we have in London today.

  3. I admit that last night when I read the news that said your area could get up to a foot of snow... I smirked.

    LOL.

    LOVE the penguins in the window photo!

  4. I am adopting the term "damp gloom" to break up the usual description of weather here: slight chance rain, chance rain, rain likely, showers, chance showers, drizzle and isolated showers. (actual "forecast at a glance")

    I could have used a snow day last week.

    And I agree, I want a redo on the photo, as adorable as it is . . . had you only caught them in motion zooming on their tummies . . .

    In fact, video clip?

  5. I'd have let them outside for a bit. With a bottle of bourbon and a flare gun.

    Just to see the neighbors reaction.

    Butterball should come visit WC and RS sometime. Sharp dresser.

  9. On Butterball coming for a visit, there is some talk about an Alaskan cruise in Fall which might include some sort of rendezvous in Seattle. Stay tuned...

  10. I would get them shovelling if I were you. Let them earn that bourbon!

  11. Butterball in the Great White North...just keep him away from the moose. They might mistake him for dinner.

  12. I didn't know moose ate penguins. No wonder you don't see many of them up there.

  13. Moose do eat Penguins, they call it a "Black Tie" dinner.
