Dinner with Wildlife!

We decided to make a slow cooked aroma filled dinner on this wonderful spring night.  Well the breeze must have carried that aroma all over the mountain because we got visitors galore!

Right before dinner our cat Kitai was chasing something near the door the size of a small mouse.  Turned out to be a yucky big black spider.

In the middle of making dinner, Kitai again spotted something at the door.  This time a raccoon which was looking right in the glass door, Kitai and him ended up nose to nose on both sides of the glass.

While eating dinner upstairs we heard Kitai hiss.  Thought, fuck now what!?  I figured that racoon was back, BUT NO!  It was a big bear cub looking in the glass door!  Actually TWO!  The other was standing up at the grill and knocked over one of the spatulas hanging outside.

Cooking veggies and potatoes turned out way more entertaining than I originally anticipated tonight!

Was Kiesha Jean High on 420?

Well, figuratively speaking, NO!  Unfortunately I'm still fairly new to the Asheville area and have yet to find a green friend :(

Literally speaking, YES!  High atop a mountain at around 6000ft.  It was a beautiful day and I'm so grateful to live 3miles from Blue Ridge Parkway.

Farewell to winter.

So with the start of spring in less then 24hrs let me remember everything I love about winter.

I love:  NO BUGS, long nights, getting snowed in, winter wonderland landscapes, snuggling under blankets, hoodies, great photos (see below) and ready …. here’s where I loose half my readers in 2 sentences … I love the holiday season,  even though I believe in the fairy tale that is christmas as much as I believe in Santa Claus.  I’m also pretty sure that we’re more thankful for thanksgiving then the Native American community.  BUT I do love New Year’s … love it, love it, love it!  The whole no bugs thing is really what seals the deal for me though :)

What about all the stuff I hate about winter?  Well I’m sure you can look forward to that post, let’s say late next January or maybe mid February.  I think it’s about that time that I start pulling my hair out and seriously question why I don’t reside on a beach in a hammock under a palm tree for 12 months out of the year.
