Nature Friday

We are joining Arty today for Nature Friday~

It's a wee bit cooler this morning with a lot less bugs, thank goodness☺

 The Hostas are in bloom and we didn't have to go far to find this one.  It's in our back yard!

The bugs are loving our Coneflower petals.

 How come the bugs aren't eating theirs, mom?

The Magnolia tree in our back yard is blooming for a second time.  The first time, the flowers got nipped by frost.  

 We found this mushroom underneath our Copper Beech tree.   The prickly pods are falling once again and mom sweeps them away daily so they don't get stuck in my paws.

 The spiders have been busy~

 The Asiatic Dayflower is in bloom at the end of our driveway~

The tomatoes are ripening in Farmer Will's field.   These are plum tomatoes and there are lots and lots of them.  yummmmm

 Happy Friday, everybuddy!  Enjoy the last day of July!

Love ya lots♥

Tropical Tuesday

Our walkies have been cut short by the too-hot temps and the IRRITATING bugs that buzz all around our heads.  Mom has tried smelly essential oils and other stuffs but nothing works.  
I can't wait to get home and into my cool house and leave the bugs and the heat outside.
 Shortly afterwards comes my morning treat~

It doesn't keep me busy for long but it does make me happy☺

 Mom says all the time, "Thank goodness for puzzles and books when we don't want to be outside"!

We are staying cool and happy and hoping that everyone else is too.

Love ya lots♥

July

Did you know that July is National Ice Cream month?   There is no way this month could go by without me celebrating!

 Settling in here to enjoy my special treat~

 How can it be empty already?

 This is a catastrophe!

 July is not over yet.  I can celebrate again right, mom?

 Yes, mom.  I am smiling pretty for the camera☺

Who's joining me in celebrating National/International Ice Cream month!
