The Petter Rabbit Family

 

The wild bunny in our yard 

There is a wild rabbit family that lives in our backyard. I call it the "Petter Rabbit Family".  I like to see them hopping around and eating the wild grasses. They have plenty of room to jump around since it is a big yard and pet-free. Our neighbors yard is the same, so pretty much a safe zone between the two yards. They seem to feel at easy and it is like a natural habitat for them. It is only since last year that we've seen wild rabbits in our property. They are going to be very fun to watch this Spring!

Just a reminder to enjoy Spring time around nature.

Pika's Corner: A Valentine's Day Surprise

 

As many of you know, my fair lady, Ms. Hello Kitty and I have been an item for the last couple of years.  This Valentine's Day I thought it would be very romantic to have our portrait done by a famous artist and surprise her. Ms. Hello Kitty's favorite Holiday is Valentine's Day.  She was so surprised when she saw the picture that she jumped for joy and gave me a big hug.  We not only had a very happy Valentine's Day but this also gave me major brownie points. 

I hope all of you had a wonderful Valentine's Day!!!

Where did the color go?

                                                              Winter Fashion Color Palette
 

There is no color in fashion this winter season.  Every time I go shopping for clothes I always see blah colors. The color palette is so boring; a total snore fest. Earth tones, muted colors, beiges, browns and grays really put me to sleep. What are the designers thinking? I think they are in a fog after COVID. The designs are so plain, oversized and with no shape; like wearing a sack of potatoes. I need a little "Jackson Pollock" color in my clothes and a better fit. I want to go and shake the designers and wake them up before next season. Please be warned, shop at your own risk!

Love of Oxidation



 Fall is when the leaves change colors.  This is due to a chemical reaction called oxidation which I learned about a while ago. I love oxidation in nature.  Now that it is fall, it is the perfect time to talk about it. The vibrant colors around when I see the leaves falling makes me happy, because the normal green shades are just bland. I like the different colors: reds, yellows, orange and purples. Fall is a good time to also embrace change and improve in your personal life. It is a the time to shake it up.

Pika's Corner: Halloween Quest 2024





Picture by Maria Cervantes 


I've been sent on a quest
to find the best of the best
a pumpkin large and round
that just by luck I found.

Many pumpkin patches
I searched and searched
to find the best pumpkin 
of the rest.

I've been given a task
to carve the pumpkin mask
a scary Jack a Lantern
to light it up at dusk.


A Jack a Lantern
 is a must 
to scare the Ghouls and Goblins 
all at once.


HAVE A HAPPY AND SAFE HALLOWEEN!!

When Siri Attempted to go to College




This summer I was taking a class about Marine Biology at the local college.  One day while in class I heard out of the blue - "May I interject about crabs?", and to my surprise it was Siri in my phone.
I quickly responded with "Siri, I'm not talking to you". A couple minutes later the teacher said "I thought I heard a phone" and she looked a bit annoyed.  I was astounded! I tried to keep my cool. 

To my surprise, Siri had been listening to the lecture and was attempting to help me in class. It was unwanted help but also entertaining. I don't think Siri can tell the difference between talking to me and responding to other voices she hears in class. This experience was an eye opener for me and my friends. Even though Siri makes silly mistakes, I still love her!!

Hello friends and fans.  I'm here at the 2024 Paris Olympics with my Fair Lady, Ms. Hello Kitty.  I'm here to cover the games for the Pokemon Network as I did back in 2021 in the Tokyo Olympics.  My plan is to interview LeBron James and Simone Biles. As you can probably tell, I'm a big fan of basketball, and my Fair Lady, Ms. Hello Kitty, loves Gymnastics. Ms. Hello Kitty, would like to meet Simone Biles. I plan to introduced them when I interview her. Also, I kind of need the brownie points.  

After the Olympics are over, we want to visit the Eiffel tower. My Fair Lady doesn't know that I'm planning a romantic dinner with a view of Paris from the Eiffel Tower's Restaurant. This should be fun, and that is how I roll.  

Enjoy watching the 2024 Paris Olympics!!
