Wordy Wednesday

 After five days of no walks, we finally got out for a short one yesterday before the drizzle started again.

Can you see them?

There are 87 thousand apples on this tree in our backyard and the deer are going to be so happy as they ripen!

Happy Wednesday!

Love ya lots♥

Tuesday Fun on Rainy Monday

 Mom leaves the door open for me when she goes out to weed and cut the grass and this is the first time she's seeing me enjoying the view!

Bozo wants to see out too~

I don't think so, Bozo!

A Monday Ussie~

Happy Tuesday!

Marvelous Monday

 Mom and I read Aunty YAM's blog and this past Friday, she posted a film that shouldn't be missed.   The film is called Billy and Molly, an Otter Love Story.   Mom googled it and found that we could watch it on the National Geographic channel and we did. It's available on other channels as well.   It was everything that Aunty YAM said that it would be♥   Mom loved the story so much, that she decided that I needed an otter stuffie.   He/she arrived yesterday with the name, "Harry".   That name wouldn't work for us and we couldn't very well name him/her Molly so we named him Bozo!

He is a rather large fellow and he has a wonderful strong squeaker!

Of course, mom wonders how long he will squeak as I have been squeaking him non-stop all day long!

Thank you, Aunty YAM for letting us know about this wonderful heart-warming film.  We are going to watch it again for sure!   

Happy Monday!

Nature Friday

 We are joining Rosy this week for Nature Friday~~

We walk past this Chicory every day.   The blue flowers are so pretty!

At the end of our driveway is the Dayflower, another blue beauty~

We spotted this white Hydrangea~

Lots of Lillies are blooming.  We have them in our yard~

And along our walks~

Have you ever seen a Catalpa tree in bloom?  Mom used to call it a bean tree as it has very long "beans" that hang from it later in the season.  The flowers are just gorgeous!

We spotted another deer!

At home, our Clivia is in bloom♥

Happy Friday!

Love ya lots♥

Tasty Tuesday

 I love cantaloupe!

It is so sweet and refreshing!

I see you have lots more in the tupperware bowl, mom!   

The ABC fork belonged to mom's dad when he was just a baby.  There is a matching knife that goes with it and we always wonder what happened to the spoon?!

Happy Tuesday!

Love ya lots♥

A Foggy Monday Walk

 It was really foggy out this morning and before we got moving, I had to check this out.   You never know what's edible and what isn't!

We couldn't even tell that Farmer Will was growing tomatoes!

It was taking forever for the fog to lift~

It was finally clear enough that we didn't miss Bambi!

Mom and I were both anxious to get back inside as the bugs buzzing around our faces were horrible and we both had our peppermint oil on!

The most wonderful surprise is that Butterfly Bush Molly was in bloom♥

Happy Monday!

Love ya lots♥

Nature Friday

 We are joining Rosy and Sunny for Nature Friday!!

We are seeing lots and lots of Clematis!

Along our fenceline,  Landlady Maryanne's Roses are blooming!

We are so excited to see that Farmer Will has finally planted in the field near our house.   We know the farmers are having a very hard time this year.   Hopefully, things will be better for them for next years' planting season.  These are tomato plants and it's raining now so they are getting a nice refreshing drink!

As we turned onto our street, a lady up ahead of us was walking her Golden Retriever.  We have never seen her before and her dog clearly wanted to meet me and didn't seem to want to budge until he did.   She asked us to please head down another street so she could walk her dog home.  Mom told her that we live just ahead of where she was standing but she wasn't taking no for an answer so we turned down another street.   Stoopid woman.  Why couldn't I say Hi to her very handsome dog!

Happy Friday!

Sunday Walk on Monday

 Yesterday was a beautiful day and we were up on a street called New England Drive!

Along the way we found a pretty pink wild Rose~

The Honeysuckle smells glorious as it's everywhere and smells so incredibly fragrant!

We found the coolest rock that's above my head at the end of the cul-de-sac on this street!

We discovered a Kousa Dogwood still in bloom~

A very pretty Veronica was blooming away~

Mom wanted to get my picture with the Marigolds but my attention was on a bird and she told me to, "Look at ME, Duke!"

Birdies are always more important than picture taking, am I right?!

Love ya lots♥
