Christmas candy

Shame on me for rushing Christmas but I can't help myself. i saw these holiday Junior Mints and had to get a box. I just love a little crunch. Why does a bit of crunch make things taste so much better? If all food was mini and had crunch I would be in big trouble.

Pet of the Week

I just wanna boop him on the nose. What a cutie.

Parker #11455558

Parker is a handsome 3-year-old male Pit Bull mix, who has become a Lollypop Farm staff favorite! He weighs 74 pounds and is a super friendly, laid-back kind of guy who likes people and other dogs. He has been at Lollypop Farm since September. Parker has nice house manners and is house-trained, although he has been known to beg for table scraps! He sits nicely while his collar is put on, and does quite well on the leash. We recommend Parker attend training here at Lollypop Farm with his new owner to help get the relationship off to a great start. Parker can get very excited when it's time to play, so a home with children over the age of 12 is recommended. Parker has lived with cats and dogs and got along well, but he should still meet any dogs in your home to make sure that everyone will be friends! Parker can’t wait to meet you!

Snuggles, the cat from last week, is still waiting to find her new home.

Acorns

When we were at the cabin I was amazed at how many acorns there were everywhere. I've never seen them like that.

The weird thing was they were already sprouting.

I brought a couple home to plant in pots to see if they grow.

Look at this big acorn!

He's gonna grow into a big oak tree.

Raking

I love these last few warm days of fall.

Aaron and I helped rake leaves around the cabin. I don't know how we managed with our wee T-rex arms.

Oscar wasn't much help.

Mountain Pug

This weekend Aaron and i went to PA to stay at the cabin with my fam. Oscar enjoyed running around the mountain.

He is a mountain pug.

And he likes hanging out with his cousin Wally.

Whazzat?!

Pop Burger

I spotted a girl assisting at our event location with a little wee box with little mini burgers inside. I asked her where she got them and she directed us to Pop Burger.

I love that they are open until 4 am (saved our hungry butts later that night) and the burgers are super tasty. Why is mini food so much tastier?

Earlier that day, I saw a stack of big cards lying on a truck - movie cue cards? - and this one caught my eye. Maybe from a commercial shoot? Either way, it was a cheeseburger kinda of day.

NYC compasses & cupcakes

Tina and I are in NYC for work and i am loving these compasses that someone spraypainted at the exits of the subway stops. I am always discombobulated when I come out of the subway and can't tell which direction I need to go - these helps a lot.

They helped us find our way to Pomme Frites and Butterlane Cupcakes.
