| blueberry strawberry custard pie |
It's Tuesday and I've been wanting to make a custard pie for the last few days. Decided to add some fresh blueberries and strawberries I just happen to have on hand... could have used more, but will know next time. Tasted it a few minutes ago... not quite chilled enough yet... but good! DH and I will have some for tea at 4.
Update on Rose: Rose had her staples taken out and is doing fine. In fact, she's doing great. We think she found a 10th life and is cashing in on it. She wasn't happy having to go back to the Vet's, but she did OK. They had to muzzle her as she will bite, but outside of a little growling, behaved well. They also said that they had her birthday down in the chart as June 17, 1994... and told us that she is their oldest cat client.
We've also had quite a lot of visitors to our yard lately. Here's a few pics:

This wasn't the old coon that comes to our back door. She was there too, but this was another younger mom and her kits.
They (feral cats and raccoons) all look healthy. We do put out diatomaceous earth around the area to hopefully help them keep off fleas, etc. And of course there's always fresh water available and a fan on the porch to lie under. And the raccoon babies play with the cat toys just like the kittens. They all love the ring with the ball inside as well as catnip mice, etc.
BTW, my daughter just sent me a iPhone message with this pic saying "I found you a shirt"...
Yep!... and I like rocks too! Someone recently wrote a blog about what it may be to be "normal". Well, I'm not sure that any of us are. We're all a bit eccentric. Don't you think?

Oh, that yummy-looking pie! Mmmmm...!
ReplyDeleteAs for all the babies, they're lucky to have you to care for them and obviously have a good life thanks to your efforts. Such cuties, both the kittens and baby raccoons.
Purrs to Rose...10th life indeed! She's one tough old girl. :-)
That she is, Kim... "a tough old girl" with a mind of her own.
DeleteSo glad to hear that Rose has found a tenth life. And all the wildlife you have around your place, it makes it a lot of fun to visit! :-)
ReplyDeleteThere's certainly a lot going on in our yard most of the time. The kids and grandkids love to watch.
DeleteNormal====no such thing. Wouldn't the world be a boring place if we were all just alike?
ReplyDeleteI think it would, Vic.
DeleteThere should be a law against publishing a photo of a custard blueberry/strawberry pie. And, good on Rose.
ReplyDeleteIt is a good pie, Joanne... and simple to make.
DeleteGlad to hear about Rose. Aren't cats incredible. Your pie looks good. I like a good custard pie with raspberries, too. Holy Moly...you sure have lots of mouths to feed. Look at those beautiful feral cats. I would be feeding and worrying about them, too. I'm big on 'worry'. Hope they all do well. Deb
ReplyDeleteAs you know, Deb. We all do what we can. Can't save the whole world, but can bring a little comfort to some... and they bring some joy in return.
DeleteGoodness you have a busy yard and they all look prosperous. I love that shirt--perfect.
ReplyDeleteSo glad Rose is doing so well. It's a sign of good love and good care for her to have lived so long.
Thanks, Patti. I think my daughter sent the pic as a joke... but I kind of liked it. As for Rose, she is something else.
Delete"Normal" is overrated!!
ReplyDeleteThat pie looks fantastic, and I love the shirt!
You are right, Natalie, normal is definitely over-rated.
