Tasty Tuesday

 

BTW, that snowball in Sunday's post was the wool dryer ball that I stole.   Mom let me keep it all this time because I was respectful MOST of the time.   She ran the vacuum this past weekend and discovered too much white fuzz on her sweeper rollers so she tossed my beloved dryer ball in the trash.   I will have to wait for another one to fall when the clothes come out of the dryer.

Happy Tuesday!

Love ya lots♥

Nature Friday

 We are joining Rosy this week for Nature Friday~~

We have not been walking this week as it's too hot, too muggy and too many annoying bugs!

The last time we did walk we found that a neighbor planted Marigolds near his mailbox~

Next door, the Raulston's Allspice was in bloom!

We headed in a different direction and discovered cheerful yellow Evening Primrose in bloom~

And not too far away, the Lilies were blooming!

Back at home, beneath our Copper Beach Tree, the freebee Violas are back!  Mom loves that they self-sow every year!

Happy Friday, everyone and mom wants to thank everyone for your special birthday wishes!

Love ya lots♥

Happy Birthday to My Mom

 Mom decided that mini cupcakes would be a good thing~

I'm ready and waiting~

Yup, I swallowed the entire cupcake in one bite!  Sorry the picture is blurry but you understand, right?!

And because I swallowed my cupcake in one bite, mom decided to do the very same thing~

Many of you know that Maggie and mom shared the same birthday.   

The girls are on Nantucket on their birthday way back when~

Maggie would have been 27 years old today.  She is two years old in this picture♥

Happy Birthday, mom!

Love you lots and lots♥

Your bestest boy,

Duke

Wonderful Wednesday

 My ice cream collar is paying off~

This is mom's favorite ice cream and it was on sale at the grocery store this week.   She's won't buy it if it isn't.  It's too expensive.

Time to play!

Happy Wednesday!

Love ya lots♥

My New Summer Collar

 My mom loves buying dog collars and she has for years~

I know - you want to see my face.      Can you see my ice cream collar now?

How about now?!

Yesterday, mom and I were walking and we spotted a coyote in front of us.   He kept looking back at us and he eventually headed into the woods. Then it was mom's turn to look back and see if we were being followed.  

He started to bark at us!   Mom has never heard a coyote bark before so she googled it once we got home.

"To answer the initial question set forth, yes, coyotes do bark! The noise sounds much like a dog’s bark. As with dogs, sometimes a coyote’s bark signals a warning, demands attention, establishes territory, alerts danger or displays extreme anger."

We were so happy that we were almost home when he started to bark!

Happy July 1st!

Love ya lots♥

Caught in the Rain

 Mom always checks the weather before we walk because she never wants to get caught in the rain. The weatherman said that it was possible but how many times have they said that and it doesn't happen?  Saturday, he was right. 

We were both soaked through to our skin!   Mom dried me off as best she could and put my wicky robe on me while she changed her wet clothing and did the laundry.  

My ears are starting to dry~

I'm just a wee bit damp now, mom~

She wanted a picture of me with the beautiful blue hydrangeas!   It started to rain right after she snapped this photo and then it poured~

Was it worth it to you, mom?!

Happy last day of June!

Love ya lots♥

Nature Friday

 We are joining Rosy this week for Nature Friday~~

Mom was checking out the older files on our computer and somehow, we forgot to post this beautiful Dutch Iris at Miss Dotty's house~

Our Peony did horribly this year because of all of the rain but these peep's Peony is so pretty~

The Catalpa tree is flowering~

The leaves are almost as big as I am!  The Daisy flower is covering my poo bag.  We are sure you didn't want to see that☺

We keep seeing this tree all over the neighborhood and mom finally took a picture so she could look it up and it's a Dappled Willow!  It looks like it got snowed on!

I met a new friend named Moonpie.  She's eleven and is a Doodle and is very sweet!

The Honeysuckle is everywhere and smells fabulous!

Happy Friday, everyone!

Love ya lots♥
