In case you missed National Watermelon Day on August 3rd, the animals at the Oregon Zoo can give us some tips on how to best eat this summer snack. Since I can’t figure out if this is our third or fourth heat wave, why count anyway, thought it might be a nice treat to enjoy.
The mongoose, bats, lions and elephants have excellent snacking techniques, but the bear has this watermelon scarfing treat time down.
Have a great, safe, cool, weekend and Happy Quirky Friday!

August has gotten away from me. Between a record heart wave with à la mode forest fire smoke for 11 days, a house guest, roofers, a plugged up garbage disposal and a two-day writer’s conference, time marched on.
Today is our first half day of clean air and more humane temperatures. Yeah! For awhile there breathing was optional and not recommended. Thank heaven for air conditioning and forest fire fighters! And marine air from the Pacific Ocean.
So before it became harmful for everyone to be outside in August, including our Oregon Zoo residents, here is how they were enjoying the summer days.
Have a safe weekend and Happy Quirky Friday!

Played hooky from my blog today. I blame the nice summer weather and escaping from the day job to get the brakes done on my car. Waiting for Subie to get her new shoes, I read one of my favorite romance books while the scent of rubber tires and popped popcorn drifted through the waiting area.
By the time I arrived home, all I wanted to do was continue to laze around in a summer daze. So that is what I did. Spec Ops Cat helped out too; he’s a pro at relaxing. Some days the best thing to do is to enjoy the summer breezes and slow down. Read, relax and recharge.
Are you in a summer frame of mind?
