Great Blue Heron.  He's a frequent visitor.

Look at who arrived while I was taking the photo!  Mason bee make us some apples!

Canada Geese, I was trying to sneak up on a turkey, but these two snuck up on me.

Griffin's Menus

Dinners with Griffin are fun.  But before dining with him, it is important to understand a few things.  Don't ask him to dine on ordinary foods, like Bacon, Roast Beef or potatoes.  Not for an awesome boy like Griffin.  Here's a legend so far:

Bacon = Snake Tongues

Roast Pork = Dragon Meat

Baked Ham = Roasted Monkey Butt

Chicken Cordon Swiss = Camel Humps

Chicken Thighs = Frogs

Ham and Pea Soup = Turtle Soup

Turkey Soup = Dragon Soup

Cabbage = Green boogerberry

Raw Cauliflower = White boogerberry
Roasted Cauliflower = Boy Brains
Mashed potatoes = Mashed Boy Brains
Brussel sprouts = Frog eggs

I never know what I am serving until he lets me know.

Now here he is with a steaming plate of Coyote Pie.  It is chock full of coyote meat, and topped with a golden "coyote skin" crust.  Bet you wish you could have some too!

I filled the casserole with chopped vegetables (carrots, peas, corn, potatoes, onions, mushrooms), heated up the leftover gravy and added milk (if I had cream I would have used it).  I cut leftover meat into small pieces.  Made up pastry, rolled it out and put it on top.  I bake it in the oven at 375 for about 45 minutes (until crust is golden).  Coyote pie!

When kitties attack...

Too dark, and not in focus, but I love the pose.  Cap'n Crunch is innocently playing with a piece of straw when  Bullet lept out from under the table.

View from the Glenora Ferry.  Took the long way home from football so that Griffin could ride on the ferry.
