Our Exciting Weekend on Monday

 We no sooner left our driveway when we spotted a mom and her fawn playing in Farmer Will's rows of tomato plants!  The fawn was a distance from us at this point.  

The fawn soon realized that she was alone and that her mom was no longer in front of her but her mom hadn't left her.   You can see how high the tomato plants are and she can't see over the tops of them.  

The fawn was moving towards us and thank goodness that this was a weekend and the traffic is lighter and almost non-existent! Mom was yelling for her mom to please help out!   We didn't know if the fawn would stop coming at us or not and then her mom came rushing by and thankfully, the fawn followed her and they went off into the woods.

Do you think the fawn will appear again, mom?

Sadly, I was onleash, as always, and couldn't join in the fun!

Across the street was a beautiful white Rose of Sharon flower~

She asked me to sit for a pretty picture with the Phlox and she didn't realize at the time that my hiney was seated on a large rock☺

What a fun walk we had despite the fact that it was very hot and muggy out and the irritating bugs were out of control~

And guess what else exciting happened?     I got a bath!    Don't worry - I love my bath!

Happy Monday!

Love ya lots♥

Nature Friday

 We are joining the LLB gang for Nature Friday this week~~

We had rain Wednesday and Thursday so we didn't get out for our walk~

When mom takes me outside for business, I search for anything to eat.   I am ALWAYS hungry!   One of the things that always catches my attention are the mushrooms.   Mom found a website that identifies mushrooms that tells you if they are edible or not - not that she wants me to eat them- she wants to make sure that it won't make me sick or kill me!

This mushroom is in our front yard and looks so tasty and buttery and it's edible!

This mushroom is also in our front yard and it is also edible~

A couple of days ago, when we were walking, mom snagged this mushroom picture~

It is poisonous so beware!

We also found Indian Pipes!   Mom loves to see them as they are so unusual.  They are not poisonous but they could make me sick and it's not a good idea for me to eat them.  

Yesterday, when mom was collecting the trash can, she saw Mrs Deer.  She was coming from the direction of our apple tree☺

Our Caladium is growing and getting more beautiful every day!

Happy Friday and the last day of July~

Weekend Walk on Monday

 First off, I have to mention that mom was mean and made me wear my head collar.  She says that I have not been listening to her and pulling her too hard and doing as I please.  Did you know that Cocker Spaniels are stubborn?!

We passed a gorgeous Rose of Sharon with double blossoms!

Mom just loves this Clematis and it's still blooming away~

We passed yummy wild raspberries but I had no interest in sampling one~

Mr Mike's Begonias are so pretty in pink!   Sorry about the tongue☺

We walked by a pretty yellow Daylily~

Mom took this picture because she loves the saltbox house~

Please no more head collar - pretty please, mom~

Happy Monday!

Nature Friday

 We are joining Rosy this week for Nature Friday~~

We are going back in the files as mom was forgetful and didn't post these beautiful flowers.

This is Spiderwort and it's such a beautiful purple and actually, it's still in bloom!

At home, our pink Beebalm was flowering~

We discovered a beautiful Japanese Water Iris~

Our Shasta Daisy was in bloom~

The Purple Loosestrife near Landlady Maryanne's pond was blooming!

One of mom's birthday gifts was Caladium bulbs.  Mom has never had a Caladium before so she was really excited to watch these grow.    They are coming along beautifully and having said that - if anybody has tips for mom, please let us know.  

Happy Friday!

Love ya lots♥

Landlady Maryann needs ducks to eat the yucky algae off her pond!

We found another Daylily flower~

We love the Button Bush flower.   It's so cool!

Mom forgot to post this one earlier of the beautiful Evening Primrose~

She's not fond of the Hosta plant but their flowers sure are pretty!

Do you like my new fun collar?

Happy Friday!
