Funny! Thought of you Monday night when I talked to my daughter in Toronto. She woke up the other night and heard a noise in her room. She was kind of sleepy but determined that the noise was coming from behind her bed. She looked and their was two raccoons in her room. Her room is an attic room with a window onto a flat room. She often goes out the window to sit on the roof. I've always worried about someone breaking in this way. They left when asked thankfully and she's decided to keep the window shut from now on. It would probably scare the piss right out of me!!!

Unknown said...

For once I managed to sit down and read all your nomminees in one go. Thank you Hilary for such wonderfully diverse choices. Read 'em all except one, Holy Mackeral which for some reason did not appear.

Your photos are so funny!

Many many thanks for mentioning my mackerel skies. Can't wait to read everyone else's posts!

Moanie - not sure what the problem was. But Holy Mackerel is alive and well ... http://ladyfi.wordpress.com/2010/09/09/holy-mackerel/

Gary's third pottery blog said...

well, you can always get rid of the moosehead behind a bush too, eh?

Nick said...

Thanks Hilary for the POTW. Since I’m still rather new to this, I'm not quite sure what that stands for. Publicly Owned Treatment Works? Poor Old Tired Wanker? I’m hoping it’s something like Pick Of The Week. Although, given my history with handshaking and where little fingers may have been probing, “pick” has me worried now :)

Anonymous said...

I'd already stumbled onto Frank's post and I'll be looking for hummingbird poop while putting fresh "food" out for them this morning.

Ah, Moosehead lager. You're bringing back memories of my younger years!

Lori said...

Big smiles at the pictures and your words..they are so wise. :)

I recognize some of these but sure look forward to getting a chance to check them out when I can. Have a wonderful Wednesday! XX

Daryl said...

Fun selection .. especially the hummingbird poop post

Anonymous said...

I'll definitely check them out!

CIN&BUD said...

Congrats to the Picks of the week!

Had to come back for another peek at your pics. I had missed the beautiful reflection of the bottle the first time (you had me at beer on a Wednesday morning -- scary, eh?)
but I can't get over how beautiful the outhouse looks in the dappled sunlight and shadows. It's perfect camping weather and I wish that is where I was (camping, not in the outhouse, per se).

Kat said...

Haha! That is too funny! :)

Off to read the posts of the week!

Frank Baron said...

Ah...Moosehead....

Thanks for the plug. :)

Mental P Mama said...

LOL...and the titles alone of all of these have me hooked!

messymimi said...

I need the smile after the doctor's appointment. Thank you.

Don said...

Thanks for such an honor and for showing the way to the other wonderful posts. I'll drink to that!

Scott Law said...

Nice reflection on that bottle. As they say liquid in liquid out. Clever post.

VM Sehy Photography said...

Thank you for the award. I love the reflection on the beer bottle.

Mage said...

:) You are always appreciated.

Thumbelina said...

You know I'd put Frank's blog in there every post, along with *that* one which you won't let us!

Great photos.
And thank you to you for the time you take to search out new material and acknowledge the diversity.
I remember how much it meant to me when I got that *recognition* too. (And anyone who doesn't know me, Hil knows that's not a hint. I stopped blogging a while ago. I just know how nice she actually is and this is part of it!)
Great choices in there. Again. :)

Dianne said...

the reflection of the beer bottle and the shadows on the outhouse are so lovely
you can make anything beautiful

thanks for the mention Hil, you're very kind to me

Nezzy (Cow Patty Surprise) said...

Kerri Farley said...

You are so funny!

SandyCarlson said...

Thanks for highlighting these, and thanks for the mention! I am honored.

The one thing leading to another is definitely a good reason to cut back in the cool weather!
