Nature Friday

 We are joining the LLB Gang this week for Nature Friday~~

Before we left the house, we needed to give Molly a sweet Hi♥
We found beautiful Hibiscus along our walk~
White ones~
Pink ones~
Mom thinks this is Burdock.   It was along Landlady Maryann's duck fence.
The Phlox smells so delightful!
Because it's been so hot, mom has been doing lots of puzzles.   This is the latest one~

Happy Friday!
Love ya lots♥
Duke

  4. Lulu: "Hello, handsome Duke! Good to see you can still get out and about despite the heat!"
    Java Bean: "Ayyy, Dada says he has many memories of that burdock stuff getting stuck in his clothes and hair! As revenge, now he cooks with the roots sometimes ..."

  8. I LOVE puzzles. For a while in MD I went to the senior center as a guest, and there were always tables with jigsaw puzzles going (lots of classes, lunch, performances too) nothing like that here

  9. Hi Duke! Marvelous here! You have some pretty flowers along your walk! We don't have Hibiscus but we do have Phlox and (shudder) Burdock. It grows like heck under our deck (Mom can't get under there and the roots are incredibly long) and in the junipers along the river bank. Kozmo and me and Jo Jo get the burrs in our furs - and sometimes Mom has to use the scissors to get them out! We hates them! There are lots of Japanese people in our area and they LOVE the roots (they call it Gobo). Its actually tasty. Mom used to sell her wares at the farm market and one of the other marketers used to sell it. Keep being AWESOME Duke! Purrs Marvelous Marv

  12. Hibiscus is such a happy flower, like zinnias are happy, too. At least they seem so to me.

    The puzzle is a good one.

  13. Mom's flowers are quite lovely today ... but none quite as handsome as you, Duke. Enjoy your weekend, and hope it's a bit cooler for you both.
