The Overthrow of a Regime

For those of you who really enjoy Weegie's posts a lot more than mine - please accept my apology.

Wait.

NO.  IT'S NOT MY FAULT.
IT'S WEEGIE'S FAULT.

And he needs to man-up and take some responsibility here.  He had all kinds of time to work on a post for today, but instead he has chosen to while away the hours monitoring the kitchen floor for morsels of food I've dropped, sleeping on the lounge chair on the patio under the ceiling fan, and asking The Chief over and over "when do we leave for the farm"?

Frankly, he's just not very good with time management.  And since I struggle with the same malady, it just doesn't seem right for me to reprimand him over and over.  I believe that might be a teensy bit hypocritical on my part, perhaps an instance of "the pot calling the kettle black" and a lovely and telling illustration of the whole plank removal/speck in the eye teaching from Matthew 7:3.

And I certainly want to avoid being judgmental and all.  We all have our faults.
Weegie among us.

So I told him it would be just fine - even "fine and dandy" if he had his post ready for either Thursday or Friday because do not let it be said that I cannot encourage a slacker in their time of need.

I believe this calls for an Amen.





And quite honestly,  there's also been this



























Which seems to have captured some of his attention.

And then this

Which had him so fascinated that he single-handedly set up a little viewing area at the back of the family room, printed up some tickets, and sold popcorn.

I mean it was fun to watch.  And I think even The Chief (although FOR HEAVEN SAKES HE WOULD NEVER ADMIT HIS PARTICIPATION IN THE WHOLE THING), was cheering for the Anole Lizard, because really, Mr. Grouchy Pants (and just so everyone is clear- that is the pet name we I have for the head honcho hummingbird, and should not in any way be mistakenly confused with The Chief, because, you know, The Chief WOULD NEVER BE GROUCHY.  Ahem.) had been WAY too heavy-handed with the monitoring of the feeder, and sometimes
















 God just chooses to send along someone whose main goal in life is to well, teach you a a little life lesson.



Knock you down just a peg.

























Put you in your place, so to speak.



I believe there may be a new sheriff in town y'all.


Have a great day!

Love the hummingbird saga. I believe the drought in Texas has caused my own hummingbird feeder to attract a "herd" of them. Have to say the anole as the new protaganist in your epic tale was genius.
