Eggs-traordinary!

Today some brave hen popped out the biggest egg yet, at 79 grams. Compare it to the first egg, laid November 11th, at a mere 41 grams:

I can't my wee, dainty hens imagine passing that thing!! Okay, so they aren't so wee now, topping out at something like five pounds. But still! Then again, some poor woman in Indonesia popped out a 19-lb baby. Like, OUCH!

Julius investigates: "Hmmm. Smells like chicken!"

And this photo is just ... odd. The eggs, Julius and Naomi. Or is it the Eggs and I (with assorted cats)?

The torrid affair of Alex and Naomi...

...continues! The upstairs bathroom is Alex's favourite hang-out. He particularly adores the bathmat. Yesterday he was all stretched out, having a catly nap, when Tristan (big dorky boy dog) decided he wanted to lie on the bathmat too. So as Tristan is wont to do, he started poking Alex firmly with his snout. Alex assumed a look of disdain that only a cat can give and refused to budge, so I pulled out another bathmat for my incredibly spoiled dog!

Anyway, we often flick on the bathroom light at night to discover scenes like this:

Yin-yang kitties!

"Please, can't you see we want our privacy? Turn off the damn light!"

The things you can do with a giant yellow zucchini!

My friend Brian was, I think, asking about these garden-produce creations from 1999. Hmmm, this photo was taken before I ripped down that godforsaken hearts-and-flowers wallpaper in the kitchen. We are always buying houses with cutesy wallpaper!

Note the celery leaf "fig leaf!"

I can't believe ten years have passed. But I'm still making creatures out of vegetables!

Mystery of life

I made this in 2002, and I'm still not sure why...

The love affair rages on...

Alex and Naomi, still in love after all these months!
