Happy Thanksgiving!

As a Thanksgiving treat (of the inedible kind), I found some intense cuteness for you.  Getting to it will require a little bit of work, but it is worth it!

First, click on this link http://www.northernmainephotos.com/.  Then click where it says “Click to Enter Site.”  A new window will open.  There will a menu in the upper left corner.  Move your mouse on top of “Gallery” in the menu.  A new menu will appear.  Move your mouse down to “Paul Cyr,” then up to “PC Bear Monitoring.”  Click on “PC Bear Monitoring,” and prepare yourself for the incredible cuteness that lies within — baby bear cubs!

*As others have pointed out, baby bears are very cute but are best viewed in exactly this way — in photographs taken by trained professionals.  This really should go without saying, but there are always people out there who show a complete lack of common sense!

Broccoli worm

That little green thing toward the top of the photo is a broccoli worm (not a scientific name).  I find the little guys to be rather cute, and I don’t mind picking them off my pesticide-free broccoli.  Rather than killing them, I just toss them in the compost bucket.  Sometimes they crawl out and we find them wandering around on the kitchen counter, to my great delight and my hubby’s everlasting annoyance.  Given the rather tiny size of the worms in one of our recent local broccoli purchases, I may have strayed a bit from being 100% vegetarian over the last week.

Green home and Puppies!

On Saturday, we had the chance to volunteer at a Habitat for Humanity build.  We were working on a home that is being built to LEED Platinum standards, with crazy insulation and an earth source heat pump.  Due to the early morning start and the forecast for rain later in the day, we drove instead of biking.  I was feeling rather guilty about this until the sky opened up about halfway through the day.  Our house did not have a roof on it yet, so being inside was no better than being outside.  For one of the only times in recent memory, I was glad to have that car.

After the build, we stopped by the EarthWays Center Green Home Festival.  I spotted two puppies on the street, a little beagle puppy and a slightly larger unknown puppy.  The beagle puppy was adorable, and the larger puppy obviously agreed, as he could not stop licking the beagle puppy’s face.  The cuteness was just too much, and I exclaimed, “I want to lick his face, too!”  I managed to restrain myself somewhat and settled for heavy petting.  Unfortunately, I did not have the camera on me, so I give you this alternate shot of a beagle puppy and a darling little red-head.
