Tim Allen flashes ‘Home Improvement’ co-star in resurfaced clip

Maybe it was “Tool Time” after all.

Tim Allen was filmed playfully flashing his “Home Improvement” co-star Patricia Richardson in a newly resurfaced clip.

In the blooper scene, Allen, who played Richardson’s husband on the ABC sitcom, is dressed in a kilt as the actress says, “Hangs long. I just wish it was shorter.”

Allen then lifts his kilt, and while the camera does not show what was underneath it, Richardson, 71, clarified to TMZ Tuesday, “He was well-dressed under there. I was just shocked that he lifted the kilt, not by a man in boxer shorts.”

Welcome to the weekend view.

Chickens

A favorite thing to do is sit in the sun for a bit and watch some of the chickens out in the yard. Last week we had a couple of sunshine filled days that were perfect for getting a little bit of vitamin d and holding these fluff balls.

We have named one of the naked neck silkies George Henry- he is a fancy, fluffy little guy. The other who is a frizzled silkie -we think might be a girl- but waiting on confirmation before naming her.
