We are joining the LLB Gang this week for Nature Friday~~
Mom has been working in the garden deadheading the Butterfly Bushes.
We know this is the butterfly moth on Miss Violet~Mom doesn't know the butterfly species as well as she know the plants.They sure are beautiful!Juney's post this morning inspired mom to take a picture of the stained glass work of art that my sissy made of me this past Christmas.
It hangs in our picture window always and we absolutely love it!We are joining Rosy this week for Nature Friday~~
Look what we found. Raspberries!Mom offered me one kind of knowing that I'd eat it~Of course, I ate it!We found another beautiful Butterfly Bush in bloom. The lavender is so pretty!We found Queen Anne's Lace~Mom had to look this one up. They say it's a Button Bush~We looked this one up too. It's a Lily of the Nile. It sure is pretty!Happy Friday, everyone!Love ya lots♥As requested, this is the recipe that mom used for her Cream of Spinach soup~
Mom bought a cantaloupe this week. She always cuts the whole fruit up and stores it in a tupperware and of course, I was right there for free hand outs!
Yes, please!The next time, I got served off a fork~She made a Cream of Spinach soup with carrots and potatoes. She's never eaten this kind of soup before and she loved it and will be making it again in the Autumn.Happy Tuesday!We are joining Rosy this week for Nature Friday~~
The Rose of Sharons have been really pretty!We don't see too many white ones. Landlady Maryann's Rose of Sharon is peeking between our Arborvitae's!Look what we saw as we were being nosey through the hedges! Mom loves the antique cars and the older - the better!The Magnolia in our back yard is blooming for the second time this year~We found a pretty vibrant Spiderwort~Walking up one of our favorite streets, we discovered the Lilies were making quite the showing!Mom has been calling me Dukey Delicious. I'm not sure what it means but I get lots of kisses and it makes her happy☺Happy Friday and Happy first day of August!Love ya lots♥I invented a new game!
I go to the wall end of the outside shower curtain and run behind it along the bathtub for fun. It always makes mom laugh☺We are in another hot hot hot heatwave for the next three days so walking early is a MUST! Our walks include a lot of shade and that means mosquitos and irritating bugs. Mom can't stand them flying around her face and she notices that they never bother me, which is a good thing. She has been trying essential oils to see which one may or may not work. We can tell you that Rose Geranium oil and Lavender oil did not work. This morning, she finally found a winner! Peppermint oil!!
