What made you smile or laugh today? Part IV

Sheep statues?
Yup. She has a bunch of pretty large statues of various animals made out of plastic and she sometimes makes little animal arrangements using them on the lawn. Today she was making one with sheep. She also has a pair of big porcelain leopards(?) she keeps by her door kinda like they’re keeping watch. Sometimes she brings them out too, but they’re not in scale with the plastic animals.

Once she had turtles, well, tortoises, four of them. Another time she had all kinds of jungle animals, even a monkey climbing up a tree.

It’s often either a wild mix of animals, domestic and exotic together in one statue-y flock, or just the sheep.

It’s my first summer here so the first time I saw the sheep out on the lawn was a bit of a surprise. :D She only brings the statues out every now and then and always brings them back in for the night.

Two of the bro-iest bros, real north shore of Boston blue collar types, getting pedicures together behind me. It’s awesome.

I had probably the best tomato I've ever eaten with an otherwise unremarkable dinner today.

My dad's friend has a garden, and he has a fuckton of tomato plants. So my dad brought me a few the other day, and I happened to remember they were in the refrigerator while I was cooking. So I sliced one up and ended up eating the entire thing. :ROFLMAO:
 
Saw a twitter post where a guy was at a gas station and over herd the person in front of him put $10 on pump three. The poster could only guess he was going to pump 4. Made me laugh and cry lol.
 
Mushrooms! ‘Tis the season, guys.

Also bilberries, they’re everywhere here! Gonna bake something delicious out of them today.
 
The phone's been silent as a tomb all day, so I was really glad when it finally rang tonight. It happened to be a regular that I really enjoy talking to, too, so that was nice. He and his wife are poly, and he tells me about their exploits. :)
 
Mushrooms.

And sign language class #2 begins tomorrow and I can’t wait!

Ooh, that is a lot of chanterelles!

I should be getting ready because we are going out to eat with some people.
I feel a bit meh about it, but I know it will me nice once we get there.

Yes it is! And I picked at least half that amount yesterday, too. 🤩

I sometimes have to force myself to do things, too, because I feel very meh about them beforehand but know I’ll end up enjoying them if I just go. I hope you have a nice time and the food is yum!
 
A long conversation with Daddy. Not about anything in particular. It was just nice to be able to talk to him for that long because we're rarely able to.
 
Me: You’re beautiful
Her: Gasping happily. “Uber will deliver a double bacon cheeseburger at this time of night!”

Guess I know where I stand. 🤦🏻
It's a triple cheeseburger Sir, with extra bacon, pickles, lettuce and cheese. And a crispy chicken and bacon wrap. And a chocolate milkshake. And Coke. And caramel galaxy mcflurry. And triple chocolate chip cookie. And belgian chocolate brownie... 🥰
