Am I the only person picturing an octopus dragging itself out above the high tide mark and leaving the little representation of itself on the sand, in an attempt to communicate with us?

I once was sitting in my porch chair when the squirrel took his usual route up the chair to the cross of the fence to the bird feeder. My head was in the way of his usual bounce off the back of the chair, and I discovered that squirrels have check in the mirror to see if I’m bleeding sharp claws

The Secret Lives of Squirrels is more appealing that the Real Housewives of anywhere, TBH.

I can confirm it is called a provisional ballot in the state of Ohio.

This was the same system whose cancer center branding included the name (J—- Cancer Center) is 2 foot high red letters on the waiting room walls. They eventually redecorated with soothing colors and abstract art. And then got rid of the TVs playing Fox News.

My favorite is when you are on hold for scheduling at the hospital system, the voice announcement is 50% louder than the Muzak, and the topic is HEART ATTACKS IN WOMEN. Has anyone done a study on how screaming HEART ATTACKS every 2 minutes affects blood pressure?

He does look like he wishes there was a privacy curtain…

We still had some blueberries left when we stopped to visit some friends, whose 5 year old was cranky and tired from too much swimming and low blood sugar. I realized that my husband had left a trail of blue berries next to the crying 5 year old, who was eating them and looking around for another…

But they will waste valuable eating time driving another hummingbird off the 10 spot feeder.

I once saw that expression on a chipmunk’s face when my husband left a giant blueberry on top of the log where it lived. We had been observing its entrances and exists for 2 days from our campsite. You do not understand joy until you see a chipmunk discover a cool blueberry on a 103F day.
