Teddy and Chopin

Teddy likes the crescendo the best. 

The Other Award

"Mom? You know the volunteering award you got at school? The flowers from it are going dead so I took a petal and put it in my lava rock box and wrote the name of your award on the top so you can keep it forever."

Frisky Vegetation

"Mom do the Venus Flytraps have seeds or do they mate, you know, like people do?"

"They don't mate like people. They're plants."

"But they're carnivores. I figured they'd be up for anything."

I'm a Loaner Dottie, a Rebel

Don't be alarmed, I haven't given up on the station wagon, she's just in the shop for a few days. This sweet 90s era Volvo 240 sedan in our driveway is a loaner from the mechanic. 

If you've been following me for awhile, you may remember my old car,  The Democrat. Driving this blue guy around town made me miss my old brown 4-door. Today, in memory of The Democrat, I listened to some Fiona Apple really loud on the freeway. Maybe tomorrow I'll really turn up the 90s with Livin La Vida Loca and Genie In a Bottle. 

No, I won't. 

Smacksy Sunday Links

Her favorite things aren't things anymore. Everything about this.

Things you need to stop doing to get to started with what you truly want to do.

How do we know if fish have feelings too?

This animation was created using photos from the 1900s.

And a kitten massage.

Happy Sunday.

Scratch Mini Golfer

"Look out, guys. I know I've only played mini-golf two other times but I'm kind of great at this."
