Sunday Walk on Monday

 We had a glorious Sunday morning with temps in the low 60's☺

We did the farm loop on our walk and all along this street, Queen Anne's Lace was everywhere!

Turning the corner, mom couldn't get over all of the wildflowers in bloom~

Farther along, we found lots and lots of Chicory!

The Dock is turning from green to a beautiful rich brown~

We discovered Cattails~

High up in the farmer's field, two flags were waving~

Next up, were the beautiful blue Hydrangea's.   Did I mention that the woman is crazy about these gorgeous blue flowers?!

Rounding the corner, we spotted the cutest Morning Glory blossom~

My GoldenDoodle friend, Carley, has the prettiest Lilies in front of her house~

Thank you for walking along with us!

Happy Monday!

Love ya lots♥

Nature Friday

 We are joining Rosy this week for Nature Friday~~

We are finally back to walking for longer walkies!

The beautiful Butterfly Weed is in bloom!

The Milkweed is flowering~

At home, one African Violet decided to surprise mom~

There is only one Orchid flower left on her stalk~

Today is mom's birthday.  As many of you know, mom shared her birthday for thirteen and a half years with angel Maggie and she never forgets how lucky she was to share that special day with her girl.   She can remember asking the breeder when Maggie's birthday was on her second visit and he replied -  July 10th.  Mom thought he was teasing with her but how would he have known when mom's birthday was?   It was destiny that Maggie would come home with mom.  This picture of a painting stays in mom's calendar always♥

Mom and I had mini-cupcakes to celebrate!

Yummmmmm~

Happy Birthday to my most wonderful mom♥

Love ya lots♥

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!

Love ya lots♥

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♥
