Trivial Tuesday

Here are some trivial things you have been dying to know:


101 Dalmations and Peter Pan are the ONLY Disney movies where both parents are present throughout the movie and don't die.





Most lipstick contains fish scales.







A cat has 32 muscles in each ear.



This is Mildrid - the cat in residence at Casa de Refugio.


Something has been eating my garden.  


I wish I had taken a picture of the garden on Sunday.  The zucchini plant was big,  strong and healthy, as were the tomato plants.  Monday morning this is what they looked like.  It took me a while to notice that they had been chomped on from the top down :(  I have never seen deer on the garden side of the property - but I guess the can get over there - I guess they can get anywhere the food calls to them.  Deep sigh, heavy sadness!

Have a grand Tuesday my friends!

  1. haha! That is funny about the harshness of Disney movies. I always think of Bambi...Your mother won't be with you anymore... OMG.

    Excellent trivia...I am sorry to hear about your garden though. Seems it has been a tough year for the gardeners.

  2. laura - moms and dads die in disney movies - do not accept a role as a disney parent - you won't be around for long!

    thanks for the positive feedback!

  3. fish scales in lipstick, that explains everything.

  4. Wendy's parents were around - but wasn't Peter Pan an orphan? Along with the Lost Boys, presumably. Disney had a thing about killing off parents.

  5. Secret - Yeah - Peter Pan was parent-less - and the story of Peter Pan starts with the parents going for a night out and leaving the dog in charge. The dog! They were terrible parents! They do not count!

    That leaves a pair of Dalmations as the only intact parent set in Disney history.

    Magical, my ass!

  6. billy - i thought the same thing when I read it - not much of a lip stick person myself - couldn't keep up the reapplication ritual multiple times a day - just wasn't important enough to me

  7. I am so sorry about your garden! Deer ate my dad's peach trees... he was livid. Did a little troll dance.

    I am not surprised about the Disney films. Or maybe I am surprised that some of the parents live! hahaha

    So that's how the cat does that.

  9. Disney parents are about as rare as wives on Bonanza. My father used to warn me to never marry a Cartwright.

    Sorry about your garden. Ours are preyed upon slowly by bugs. A slow painful death.

  10. cube - very funny - and disney and the cartwrights were back to back on sunday nights on nbc. hum.........

    we have bugs, too - so really i shouldn't plant anything because anything that grows here will suffer pain and violence. big sigh.

  11. Damn! I see you are dealing with some sort of terrorist animal as I am with my garden. Most likely culprits in my area are rogue terrorist rabbits... but now I am beginning to have suspicions on the cactus wrens, seen them hanging around my pepper plants, makes me nervous.

  12. Sebastien - Welcome to my blog!
    Why would any animal want to eat peppers? You'd think htye would know to stay away. But perhaps they paid for it later - you can only hope.

    I am pretty sure the animals eating my plants are deer because they have been eaten from the top down and little animals would eat from the bottom up. I planted garlic and marigolds around my little plot, but apparently that does not frighten the deer. Heavy sigh.

    Again welcome to Raising Sunny!
