Dinner and Tour


The Chef is beginning to prepare dinner, so why don’t we take a tour while there’s still light, for anycat or anydog who wants? There’s still be nibbles on the table until dinner.








I’m sorry we don’t have a wonderful fall foliage display, but fall is very short here, only a week or two, and it was a couple weeks ago. Worse, it was a windy week and all the leaves blew off as soon as they turned so we never got a display at all this year!

Hey! I don't like going out much other than on my balcony, 'cause it reminds me too much of when I lived under a BBQ. Anycat wanna help me knock over this tin and score some nip?



Ok guys, lights are going fast here so we're going to do our quick whip around tour of the lookout spots. The humans should all have left by now, so we won't scare them. Watch out though because my OTW says it's very windy on the hills!











We do have a little bit of yellow left. But just yellow. The only trees that grow wild this far north are birch and pine.

We'll go to Judas hill next. There's more yellow leaves there. You can see the hill in the 4th picture.

Ok, last tour! This is Judas hill! We'll take a quick look and home for dinner, which should be about ready to serve!











Dinner is Served!!!

We have roasted turkey (we missed turkey on our Thanksgiving, ‘cause my peoples didn’t think it was worth it for just two people)


Roast Duck


Honey Baked Ham


Bison Steak


And (heeheehee) Vishus Elk-Deer Steaks!

And for the bunnies,


Brussel Sprouts


Carrots


Spinach


Mint Leaves


And Watercress!

My OTW says by the end of this party she’s going to need this kind of turkey!




The Tin of a Squillion Temptations!

Dessert is served! (Sorry for the delay, our internet connection keeps getting lost)


We have Cheesecake!


A Fruit Tray for anycat who eats fruit


An Ice Cream Witch!


Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, who just want a little ice cream, nothing fancy.


And for those who don’t really like people desserts, these meatloaf cupcakes, with coloured pate icing, cleverly disguised as normal cupcakes!


There’s also the Nip Champange fountain.

    Wow amazing to see your trees with no leaves already. We have one tree that is clean, but most of the leaves are still green here. Heck last weekend it was hot here.

    The tour is lovely. You have lots of pretty places to look at.

  32. Just Ducky10/13/2007 7:19 PM

    Now the trick is to only move one paw at a time. Otherwise you don't have enough grip to stay up. You know, gravity and all.

    So we gently move around. Avoiding the light fixtures and all.

    When you start to get a bit fuzzy from hanging upside down, it is time to come down before you lose your grip.
