Things I done seen.

Now that the weather is getting cooler, my big hairy dogs are more up for going for walks. In fact, Friday morning we had blustering winds and near-freezing temperatures and they were thrilled. The humans in the house less so, but what do we know.

Anyway, here's a few things I saw on some recent outings.

Went out the door Thursday morning to the first frost of the season. All the shingles on all the roofs had gone from black or gray to white. It was like the whole block got old. But the first frost is pretty, and wakes you up. That morning was 31 degrees and not too bad. The following morning was 37 but with a wind that wanted to peel the flesh from your hinder. So Friday felt a lot worse.

"It's not a meter. Why would you think it's a meter? It's a... a chipmunk house. Yeah, that's right.”

You get a feeling that this wheelbarrow is a little, shall we say, overmatched?

It's crying out for a meme. Of course the line from Jaws popped into my head first, but then I settled on:

Now, from the Salacious Art of the Innocents collection, we have Harvey Weinstein starring in My Life as a Dog.

I'm not sure if this was inspired by the famous Coppertone ad, but there's something a little wrong about this thing.

Little girl showing her drawers...

...followed by pup with a kind of peculiar look on his face. He's up to something.

I'm sorry, but I don't see a good way to interpret this.

Finally, here's one that I at first thought was some kind of Halloween decoration, but turned out to just be broken:

So. We have two childlike lovers on a bench, and she leans in for a kiss... and she'll never get it because his head is broken off. There's about half a lip left of him. Hardly seems like she'll get the kiss she's hoping for.

I hate to get all Judgey McJudgeyface on these homeowners, but you gotta 1) get your meter on the side of the house like a normal person; 2) cut the wood before you load it into the comically small wheelbarrow; 3) get rid of the girl with the bloomers and the lascivious puppy; and 4) absolutely get rid of the kissing girl and her headless beau.

That only leaves the frost. The frost is okay.
