I've got a monkey on my back...

... and I like it. Okay, sorry for the obvious joke, gorgers, but it had to be said. I've enjoyed wearing my monkey backpack around. It doesn't fit much but looks stylish, if I do say so myself.



I'm calling it now... primate chic will be in for fall!



Here I am, taking a turn on my grounds. They're extensive, as you can see, so it takes me a while to examine all the trees, branches and birds... and chase the bunnies. I used to be afraid of them but no more! All cute and fluffy cotton-tail bunnies will tremble before me. Or hop quickly away from me.



I take to the grounds several times a day. I find the fresh air and sunshine does wonders for me. A few bug bites have been the only negative.



It's been ridiculously hot and humid here. Luckily, I have many tall trees to shade me.





I've become quite handy with using a spoon. Until I get bored, then it's my good old hands. That works fine for some things but yogurt, not so much.
