Random Thoughts


  1. Nugget is becoming an old man, with almost more grey hair than black!  He's still lively, though, hopping through the house and kicking up his hind legs!
  2. I worked an auction today.  We were out on a farm and the forecast last night saying thunderstorms actually turned to a gorgeous day.  A very lovely day to be outside!
  3. The thunderstorms came last night and we had a crack of thunder so big it knocked a little knickknack off the window frame in my studio, which hit a glass dome on my desk, that fell to the floor!  Thankfully, nothing broke!  It also raised us about a foot off our mattress.  haha. 
  4. Have you ever had Mexican Street Corn?  I made it for the first time tonight.  Like nothing I've ever had and very tasty.  We gobbled it up before I even thought to take a photo.  I guess that's a good excuse to make it again. :)  It was fun using new-to-me ingredients like Mexican Mayonnaise, Mexican crema, and cotija cheese.  I'll  share the recipe soon. Yum.

    2. I love rabbits. I think they're delicious ! [it's a joke Linda, as Betsy well knows] Shhh, not a word !

      There isn't much sweetcorn (maize?) grown here, it doesn't seem all that popular, consequently it is quite costly in the veggie shops and on the market. Amaizing!

      I think that lightning strike must have been in your yard to do all that. Perhaps it hit the statue?

    3. You Brits just don't have room for miles and miles of corn fields like we do here.....it's plentiful and cheap. I suppose it would even taste good with rabbit. Ha.

      Garden girl and her gargoyle seem to be alright! Good thing!

  7. That must have been one big crack of thunder! Sometimes they do seem earth shattering. I can't figure out this weather. I keep the forecast on my phone and it changes every minute. Totally not reliable. Just carry an umbrella and be done with it!!

    1. Might have smelled like a winner
      His size probably keeps him from becoming dinner! ha.

  11. Before your blog never have known of a rabbit having the run of the indoors. What about his "pellets"? From the no. of photos you post of him, it's clear Slate has become feline-in-chief, even though he's a fairly recent arrival. Lynne in NC

    1. Nugget is litter box trained...so that has never been a problem. But he likes to chew, so we have to make sure the electric cords aren't out where he can get to them. Slate just likes to hang around while the others are outside! I guess he had enough of roughing it and knows inside is a pampered, lovely life. haha.

    2. I had no idea bunnies could be litter trained! Lynne

    3. Me, neither,..until Taylor kept asking for a rabbit and we started doing some research. I have a friend who has a bunny and they take it places on a leash,(the harness type) just like a dog. Amazing. haha.

  12. I did not know you had a rabbit! Very sweet photo.

    1. yes, we've had the bunny longer than the cats! Two parakeets, too...it's a regular zoo here! haha.

  13. It is amazing how well the cats get on with nugget - they seem to be part of one big family.
    Boy that thunder must have been very loud to make you do that - almost overhead to make you jump like that I should think.
    Glad you could get back to sleep - perhaps you wanted to finish a dream. Ever tried to do that? Very difficult.

    I have had sweet corn of course but not sure about Mexican. Of course your cornfields are about the size of pour country . . . lol

  14. Hello Betsy! Whenever I see you post your cats's photos I smile. They are such a lively handsome bunch. I miss ahving a cat very much, but I'm waiting a bit till my granddaughter gets older and will understand thta pulling a cat's tail is not a good idea--lol! I also hope a cat will "find" me--much as you cats have found you!

    I hope you've been having a good summer. The Mexican street corn sounds divine--I have been enjoying fresh Colorado corn on the cob all summer!

  15. I hate when a big crack of thunder takes me by surprise. Talk about making your heart skip a beat!
