Nature Friday

 We are joining Rosy this week for Nature Friday~~

The Magnolia in our back yard is blooming again!

Mr Mike's Dahlias are colorfully flowering away!
Remember this guy from last week.  We needed an identification on him.   Thanks to YAM Aunty and Millie and Walter, we now know what it is.   It's a Pine Cone Oak Gall.    The gall houses wasp larvae!  Who would have ever guessed!   
Landlord Bob's roses are still blooming for you, Rosy!
Mom's latest jigsaw puzzle.   She says that it was a fun one to do!
Happy Friday, everybuddy!
Love ya lots♥
Molly

  2. We are always puzzled by your mom's puzzle talent. Our mom would never finish one because it is too difficult. Beautiful flowers again too. We are ready for fall flowers to pop up soon around here.

  15. Not to worry about the wasp galls. The wasps are parasitic to other insects (mostly the ones we like, like bees, sadly), but are teeny tiny and never bother people. Do magnolias usually only bloom once?

  16. Lulu: "Wasp larvae?! That sounds a little scary!"
    Charlee: "No, see that other comment up there? It says they never bother people."
    Java Bean: "It doesn't say they don't bother dogs and cats!"
    Chaplin: "Well I don't know about dogs, but cats are people, so Charlee and I have nothing to worry about."
    Java Bean: "If cats are people, then what are people?"
    Charlee: "Servants."
