Look Who Arrived ....Just In TIme For Christmas!♥️



 Last week...

I received a small package...

From a lovely gal Deb...

Over at "Just Cats" in my sidebar...

My very own...

Keep inside!

RED!

He drove into town in his very own wee Pine Cone car! 

Isn't he just the cutest thing! 

Thanks so much Deb...so thoughtful of you...

You all should visit Deb...I know some of you are already fans of her hilarious tongue-in-cheek postings...always have a smile on my fat face after visiting her blog  :o)
 

You all may remember him this past summer... 

choosing just the RIGHT  Pinecone....

...to build his car out of!




Here is where he will park...until the tree goes up...admiring the lovely card Deb sent me...

And....here he was just yesterday...

Still feasting on my Halloween Pumpkins....GEESH!

And...still...raiding my feeders...

Whenever I try to put something out for my feathered friends....



           Hope you are all having a great day...

            Finally made it to Fitness today...very rusty!!

              And had a nice cup of coffee...and some chit chat!

               Home..... 

                   And actually did a wee bit of decorating...just a bit!

                      Slowly......but surely....

                              Less is more....okay dokey!!

              Dinner will be baked crispy crunchy pork chops...

                      Roasted taters,red peppers, and onions...

                            Fresh green beans...and a Greek Salad to start...

                                      I am hungry!!

                           Think I'll make the salad early!!

          Whats going on in your kitchen tonight???

              How is the decorating coming?

                  What is happening weather-wise???   

            the nothing here again today....and darn windy and cold......brrrrr! 

                 Oooops...just looked out the window...it is snowing!!

                               Enjoy your evening...

                                   Cheers!   :o)

  1. Yay, I'm happy to have the first posting today. That new little wooden "Red" is the cutest. I love the way you also put up photos of the real "Red!" So nice to see you today. Glad that you shared coffee time also. Later, it was very challenging to find a parking space at Yorkdale Mall, where I met a former teaching colleague of mine. Your dinner sounds yummy. I defrosted some stew and I'll make some grilled tomatoes too. Have a nice evening and rest those muscles. :)

    1. Hi Hester!
      Oh...I always see on the news about the darn parking out there!
      Haven't been there for over 40 years.....yikes!
      Ha! Rest? I did some decorating and have started a Minnie Mouse hat for Miss V!
      See you tomorrow.......*groan*

  2. Hey Linda...just loving this post today. I don't remember the photo of Red with the pine-cone so that made me laugh. I'm so glad you will enjoy the little Red in his spitfire. I look forward to seeing him on your tree. I was at the property again today and darn near froze. But...I managed to feed the birds again so they are good for a few days. I have a Red, too and after today I see there are more of those bandits out there stealing from the feeders. Garage doors are in and the hydro is on so now we just have to finish upstairs. This is becoming a bit of a snooze. Hope it doesn't take much longer. We WILL be moving in the dead of winter. *eyes rolling here* Dinner sounds amazing. It's samosas, rice and veggies here tonight. Stay cozy, Deb

  5. My decorating is going very slow. So slow that I haven't even started.
    However, I did take a gander about the craft stores today and found myself wishing I'd kept those skinny miniature trees I put in the garage sale this summer... I decided that maybe I'll get Mom's nativity set out tomorrow and remember how much fun I always had unwrapping the pieces when I was a little girl.
    And then, maybe I'll send Hannah and Sergio to get a tree this weekend.

    1. PS I love your inside Red! Did your friend make him?
      I bought a bag of peanuts today for a few of my very own fur friends, and some birdseed too, of course.

    Well my splashes of red are in place, the candles lit, finish off the potato soup for lunch, and made cranberry pecan scones. Tonight. crusted fish and a big green salad. (back to counting a few calories now that I'm not swimming. Still going up and down the stairs several times a day.

  12. Awww - is that not the cutest? How nice of Deb. I love Red - I know he's a pain in your pinecone - ha! - but I love him. And wow, he really is feasting on those pumpkins. He will have a nice, cosy layer on him to fight the cold.

    1. I just wish he would leave the birdseed for the birds!
      I have an old platform feeder near the back, which I always put something for him...but he is insatiable!
      There are probably a dozen or so of them...but...they all look alike!
      Oh well....live and let live, eh Suzanne?
