Washy Wednesday

Mom gave me a bath this morning.

 I know that I don't look happy but I actually watched the water fill the tub and I didn't run when it was time to climb in. 
I parked myself in front of the AC and I'm very comfy and happy~

 I liked my bath and I was a good girl and a very cooperative girl and you said that when you were all done cleaning the bathroom we could play tennis ball, mom!

 I'm waiting..................

Being squeaky clean and smelling pretty means that I get lots of extra hugs and kisses☺

Love ya lots♥

National Lighthouse Day

We are celebrating National Lighthouse day today!

 This is Brant Point Lighthouse on Nantucket.     Here is a wee bit of history for you~

"The ever-shifting battalion of sandbars, or shoals, lurking beneath the waters that surround Nantucket have caused between 700 and 800 shipwrecks in recorded history. All three of Nantucket's lighthouses were originally built as navigational tools, but today, modern technology has rendered the island's most iconic lighthouse useful only for our viewing pleasure.

For those who arrive on Nantucket via ferry, the lighthouse on Brant Point (officially named Brant Point Light) is the little wooden welcome that ushers folks to the island. First erected in 1746, the Brant Point Light is America's second oldest lighthouse. (Some rumors claim a bonfire existed there as early as 1700.) The Brant Point Light is only 26 feet tall, making it the shortest lighthouse in all of New England! Small but mighty, its red light flashes every four seconds, and is visible ten miles out.

In 1987, Brant Point Light became a part of The National Register of Historic Places, placing itself in good company with Frank Lloyd Wright's Robie House, Martin Luther King Jr.'s grave, the Wright Flyer III (the third plane of the Wright brothers), and thousands of other sites of significance. But life hasn't always been rosy for this brave little beacon; the current structure is actually the 10th one that has sat at the location. As one might imagine, some were torn down by ferocious Nor'easters. Others were simply built cheaply. Two of them actually burned down; and still others rotted and were condemned. The existing structure has lasted for over 110 years and is emblematic above all; visitors toss a penny into the sea as they round the point leaving the harbor to ensure that they return someday to the Grey Lady's welcoming arms."

 I have never been to Nantucket.  That is Mackie's dad standing there with angels Maggie and Mitch.  

Maybe one day I can go to Nantucket too and see the Brant Point lighthouse!  You never know what life has in store for you!

Flower Friday

We are joining Rosy for Flower Friday~

Because we've had so much rain lately, we discovered Indian Pipes near Landlord Bob's mailbox.   We always thought they were in the mushroom family but reading an article on the intermuts, we are finding out that Indian Pipes are considered a wildflower.   We don't find them often so we feel pretty lucky!

We found this white blooming wildflower behind Landlord Bob's mailbox too.   We're not exactly sure what it is. Does anyone know?

 And in our own backyard - we discovered an apple on the apple tree☺   Thinking of you, angel Mitch♥

We found Purple Loosestrife at the end of a driveway~

 And across the street at the edge of the pond was Loosestrife too~

 And we found a single Balloon Flower~

 And not far from that - Toadflax!

 We love Phlox!  It smells so pretty☺

 Guess what I'm standing in front of?
A field of sunflowers!  We can't wait for them to bloom!

Happy Friday!

Love ya lots♥

Flower Friday

We are joining Arty this week for Flower Friday~

My foot is all better and I"m back to walkies☺
Do you like my new collar?   It's rainbow butterflies!

 Not long ago, Cammie and Maggie posted a picture of the Erect DayFlower and mom said to herself, "We have those too!"   They are the hardest little buggers to photograph!

 There are tons of them at the end of our driveway near the street.  We don't see many trueblue flowers so we think they're pretty special.

 The Phlox is in bloom~

 And so is the Staghorn Sumac~

Our Copper Beech tree is full of these prickly seed pods~

Mom thinks that I may have stepped on one of these pokey pods coming out to do peepee's.    I kept licking my toe until my fur was soaked and I wouldn't stop because it felt good.  She checked repeatedly with the flashlight and magnifying glass and there was no debris between my toes or between my pads.  I have had issues with licking my foot before because I can get bored and I've made a real mess of things and she didn't want that to happen again.  She applied the antibiotic powder and the boot stayed on for 24 hours and I lost interest in lickies the next morning. 

 Look what we found at the edge of the farmer's field!  Mom wouldn't walk over to it because it was surrounded by weeds and most probably lots of poison ivy.   The red is so striking surrounded by all of the green!

When we came home from walkies, mom noticed what she thought was a paper bag in our yard.   She went over to collect it and put it in the trash.  It wasn't a paper bag!   It's a huge mushroom and it keeps growing bigger!

Happy Friday, everybuddy!

My Evil Mom

I am NOT a happy AireGirl.   Do you see my foot?   It used to have a sockie on it with velcro to keep the sock in place - only mom discovered that I was licking my booboo right through the sock so she pulled the big guns on me.    I now have to wear this stoopid boot and for good measure, she put drops of lavender oil on it so that it would stink and I would leave it alone.
And she decided that walkies were out of the question.

It makes mom sad to see me unhappy and bored so she put a VERY few treats in my treat machine.   She said she doesn't want me to get phat eating too many treats and not getting my walkie exercise.  

 I am happy now, mom☺

 But it wasn't long before my FEW treats ran out~

 No - I do NOT want to play with Hedgie or with Lambie!

 I want more treats in my treat machine!

 If I can't have more treats than what is your next plan to keep me happy and entertained, mom?!

I hate having a bum foot. 

Love ya lots♥

They are soft treats and yes, mom did break them in half but that's okay because smaller means they won't get jammed in my fun toy!

 Mom put 3 halves in each of my 3 tubes.  These cheesy treat are soooooo yummy!

 Hummmmmmm - I think I got them all, mom.
