figaro and hair ties, and the last of the holiday decorations

 

 figaro spends a lot of his time hunting down hair ties and knocking them about on the kitchen floor. this morning he also was playing with a metal fastener that goes to a glass jar which held chicken liver pate from the butcher, and which needs to be returned for the jar deposit. when the metal fastener disappeared, i decided to check beneath the bottom drawer of the oven which is used for pot covers. what did i find after pulling the drawer out? two cat toys, three kitty litter pine pellets (he likes swiping them about on the floor too) and ten hair ties! i actually took a photo of the booty, but won't post it as the dust surrounding everything is not a pretty sight.

dinner tonight was leftover spaghetti and meatballs. i tried burning the mushroom candle which has been sitting on a bookshelf for years. it burned for a little while, but then sputtered out. it's funny how long objects can sit around for on shelves without being used. it's disconcerting how many years constitute "long."
