That’s right…it’s Theodor Geisel or the man behind The Cat In The Hat’s birthday tomorrow. If you’re like many folks around here–just looking for a reason to celebrate, then here’s your chance. My cute little daughter Lyndi has even made a sweet party favor tutorial for the Partyland Utah blog along with some adorable Seuss-y cookies. Check them out for these and more Cat In the Hat type party ideas right HERE.

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!!

The Owl and the Pussycat

If you look very closely, you’ll see that besides the weekend’s deer visit, we’ve also had a wandering bird of some kind traipsing through the yard by night.

002

He strolled right across the driveway and around the corner of the house, like he knew just where he was going. And pardon me, but those are actually pretty darn big birdie feet–if you ask me. What IS that, a seagull or pheasant or something? I thought they left for the winter.

003

Oh, now look. Don’t you just love the footprints of friends meeting up at midnight for a little stroll and chat?

004

Hmmmm….yeah. I hope that went well.

Late Last Night~

in our front yard…

001

I was called to the window to see…

008

this sweet thing.

009

We were stunned.

010

This has never happened before because we live just off the main drag and a good 2 miles from the mountains.

011

Not to mention the big lighted car lot that this pretty thing had to cross to nibble our grass…

005

or crab apples…

002

or pine cones…

022

or whatever it was.

023

But she left while we were watching and then–from the footprints, we could tell she came back again before morning.

024

We loved it.

019

Felt kinda magical.
