Remember on Saturday, when I said I had to go to the store to pick up a couple bright orange hats? I did, and I picked up a bit of cat food, and well… umm… 20 pounds of frozen pork liver for the cats, and some cheese for me. As I stood in the cat food aisle, it occurred to me that most of you probably don’t shop in a store quite like this one.
Do you? That is what you think it is, a moose. There’s a bear in the plumbing section and a bobcat next to the chips. I could go on but I’d never catch up. The cats decided to stay close to the house with all the gunfire sounding around us.
Zak surveyed his estate from the comfort of his porch.
The rest of the neighborhood did their best to get on with it.

Moose butt! One of the best, weirdest pictures in knitblogs this year.
Looks like that great general store in the NE Kingdom….the name escapes me now.
I’ve visited stores like that and I think they are a riot. Love the sheepy shot.
hey, that store looks a little like our local barber/bait shop! Nice neighborhood!
It looks like Bass Pro Shop to me! (Although I don’t think they sell cat food.)
My Agway looks a little llike that, taxidermy and Kitty litter right next to each other.
So I heard you might want to go to Soar next year . . .
Oh yes, the rural general stores – so much fun! Duck season is upon us. No walking along the rivers and lakes til it’s over.
Um… you’re right. My grocery store does not have a stuffed moose in the cat food aisle. And I’d venture to say that you are correct to surmise that 99.99% of us do not have a stuffed moose in the cat food aisle. Good surmising, Judy.
I think I bought some wool from those chocolate colored guys at Rhinebeck… what to do with it?!
You’re right. The place I buy cat food bears absolutely no resemblance to the place you buy cat food.
Sigh. I miss Willey’s. You get everything in that place. Sometimes more than you thought you needed.
That’s a pretty cool neighborhood you live in!
Love it! Your market has so much more character than mine. I have to agree that the moose bum is probably not a picture you’ll see in many fiber blogs. Zak is a beautiful baby, by the way!
I loved that first picture, he he. Especially on a Monday morning!
Is the moose for sale?
Reminds me of the old Tranten’s market in Kingfield, ME. You could get everything there.
oh, i miss the ubiquitous general store that goes with living in the woods… i don’t miss the bang bang bang in the woods though… keep your orange hat on!
Nothing like some local atmosphere when you are picking up the cat food. I love all your pictures, especially the one you posted earlier at the lake. I am going to start posting Walk With Me Wednesdays whenever I am able, I think it is a fantastic idea. I’m afraid, though, that my walks won’t be anywhere as scenic as yours. There’s no moose butt in my neighborhood!
Love the general store! I got about halfway down the picture and I thought for a second a moose had decided to hide out in your garage until all the crazy hunters went home.
Love the pasture photo! Your shots are always worth developing into a hard album.
Sheep! In your neighborhood? How awesome! 🙂
I love the moose in the store, too. How New England.
Nothing like the arse of a moose !!! LOL
What a life your Zak has….
I totally have a picture of myself with that moose (wearing a bicycle helmet, no less). What a kick-ass store that was.
Your store certainly has a lot of character. How long does the shooting go on?
