At last it has warmed up! Summer is here!!!

The niece gets nuked easily in the heat so we have to set off early.

I can’t wait till we’re able to plunge in our pool. For now it’s still ducks only!!!

Ma says every time she goes to the new ranch things look worse than ever.

Still she is in a good mood as she knows that before every rainbow there has to be a storm.

I’m just hoping that we don’t have to wait too much longer to jump in.

Ma says as soon as the deck is done we can all go and play.

So please pray for good weather so that step in the project is completed!!

Precious Peeps it’s me your very own Perfect Pitty Pal to help you over the humpty.

I’m also providing artistic direction for Granny as she takes decisions on the decor of the new ranch.

We have reached a critical phase for humans.

We have to choose the toilets.

My feeling is that this should be in keeping with the mid century modern era since that’s when the shack was built.

Granny and Auntie Marsha have conversed and concluded that my recommendation may be too radical for the family of today.

Personally I think they are PITTY Perfect just like my own little self.

Comments please.

Talk Friday.

So we hope you watched The Nightly News with TOM LLAMAS!

Ma was so anxious that he would do a good job. She was so scared that he’d make a slip. You know she adopts these lads as her own.

Tom had been on the TODAY program this morning with her fav Craig.

Seems the two are big pals so she feels better that Tom got the big job and not her sweetie Craig who seemed genuinely happy for his chum.

The whole nightly news production was AWESOME. It was so fresh and bright and so sharp and so red white and very blue!!!

The big mug on the table was a bit breakfasty though they could loose that.

Tom was absolutely spot on. Not a single slip.

Ma wad so relieved.

So you recall what I was saying about the big guy nuking Ma well I was right.

She’d just arrived in the kitchen of the tearoom when it happened.

Now to set the scene this kitchen is the size of a good tablecloth. A three welled sink is a measure of its full length and it’s about six feet wide.

So Ma has a place for everything and everything must be in place.

So as she was unpacking her wares she turned abruptly as she was in a hurry and that’s when it happened.

She did her back in. Now she wasn’t lifting weights or stretching or bending she just turned and it went.

Of course she had to continue as parties were planned.

So see y’all be careful about being too smart for your own britches or the big boy will sap you too.

P.S. she is still walking to one side like a ninety year old so I am providing therapy!!!

When business is good you can’t wait to Monday to bake.

Ma has been cooking up a storm this week.

We were sconing on Thursday evening and yesterday morning we were up at 6:30 to fill the oven with shortbread.

Now I am not complaining because you know that the niece and Dad and me are always called upon for quality control.

I am happy to report that all was approved.

What would she do if we rejected the production?

Maybe I need to rethink this niceness!!

Last night was Lester Holt’s last on THE NIGHTLY NEWS!

We had to watch of course to look for the tears in his eyes as he signed off.

Ma was looking super smug for as you know she and I quite rightly identified his successor many moons ago. Like four years ago not days dear peeps if you check bank on BANTER.

It will as we predicted be the super young and sexy Tom Llamas.

I’m always a bit scared when Ma has that knowing “I told you so” look on her face because I fear the big guy up stairs may nuke her for being such a smart ass.

I’ll be looking for tripping hazard as we trot.

Precious Peeps it’s THE Perfect one here to project you into a fabulously wonderful weekend.

It may be wet and freezing and you might think that it’s still March but fear not the drooling weather will come soon.

It’s just a matter of being a Patient Pitty.

This is what I tell myself every time something doesn’t go quite to plan.

For one clothed in black vestments like me the heat is also not the most agreeable condition.

So it can take its time to warm up but enough of this rain please.

Hope where you are the sun is shining.

If not just read this again and be grateful you have one so precious and precocious as me in your circle.

Did you know that yesterday was International Banana Day?

We found out thanks to cousin Krishna who is smack bang in the middle of banana country in Tamil Nadu.

Dad did his usual lunch that included the famed fruit. He eats them everyday and is good at sharing.

I love them. They are sweet but not sugary and they give me a good vibration.

Did you know that the botanical name for the plantain plant is Musa Sapiens?

The fruit of the Wise Man!

Oh YES that’s why the two Krishna’s and me are mad about the mellow munchkins.

Precious Peeps it’s Pits here to help you over the humpty.

As you know the Grey Gizz has been playing detective.

The only thing is he’s kept his nose to the ground.

Being in possession of more than one brain cell I keep my head high and eyes to the sky.

So it was that I spied the likely originator of the egg.

A huge bird perched on our roof.

It looks like a buzzard to me

Hope it doesn’t swoop.

There is never a dull moment down here on the farm.

Hope you’re having some excitement wherever you may be!

Love you lots and we’ll talk at the weekend.

Blessing#2421-Birds Eye View

The plot thickens.

The egg has hatched and the bird has flown or walked away.

My feeling is it must be some critter that can waddle as soon as it breaks free.

I’m a tad worried the Coyote may eat the critter.

I will be extra vigilant on my neighborhood watch.

Just call me Sherlock Scooby!!
