This has been a pretty good week
(except for the air conditioner in my car dying – grr argh sigh). Dr M posted a
lot of pictures from our yard – and his moon shots for the week – here.
I’m only using one of the moon pictures on this post – he has the best ones on
his blog.

Dr. M chased some butterflies around the yard.

One of our volunteer sunflowers –
she’s a little wonky, but so Lovely & Yellow.
I visited a friend in the
nursing home. The State of the Bug: Grateful.

Pinky, our pet geranium that we
grew from a can (6 years ago), has always had two colors of blooms. I love the
light pink, but the salmon is my favorite color.
Tomatoes…
The moon!

Ah Dale Earnhardt – even 12
years after his death, his memory is alive & well. I grew up in
NASCAR country, but it was never my thing (sure, baseball may be just as
endless as cars turning left for three or four hours, but it’s less noisy!).
One of the last daisies. This
one is huge!
A nocturnal visitor!

The Tax
Time Pig is in extremis!
This is Dr. M’s view out his
study window (that’s the garage & back yard). It’s a wonder he gets any
writing done!
Friday,
August 23rd
Our smaller sunflower is just about ready to open up.
Mr. G-Nome has decided that he’s living in a jungle now!
Saturday,
August 24th
Dr. M & I took a little road trip today & stopped to
get some barbecue (it’s really good, but I want to bring my own Carolina
mustard sauce next time). Anyway, they had a big sign advertising their
catering business & of course this little piece of it caught my eye.
A toad! He says it’s bedtime so go away & leave him
alone!
Go to Mamma Fran’s blog here
to see the blogs of all the other Project 365 participants. Have a great week!
I've never seen the Tax Pig look happier. Maybe he's an underwater tax pig.
ReplyDeleteHa! Maybe they're singing "Under the Sea" or something :-)
DeleteLOL, glad your night time visitor didn't leave you a "present".
ReplyDeleteStill think your hubby could sell his pictures. Those butterflies are gorgeous!
Thanks!
DeleteAwww, I love the skunk. I hope that flash didn't scare him too much. :)
ReplyDelete:-)
DeleteThat photo of the ready-to-bloom sunflower is fantastic. I can practically feel the fuzz.
ReplyDeleteDr. M has a million-dollar view. There's nothing better than looking at your own garden. Beautiful.
:-)
DeleteIf I had Dr. M's view I couldn't get anything done. I'd be too worried about when I was going to have to mow the #$%^* yard again. ;)
ReplyDeleteS
LOL! And the answer would be yesterday, but it didn't happen. I'm leaving it to the bees for another day.
Deletelove your butterflies this week! Can't wait to see you soon!! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm getting excited - need to get directions!
DeleteI love the sepia picture of you and your friend in the nursing home.
ReplyDeleteThe moon here looked very hazy on Tuesday, too, so I finally gave up trying to get a clear picture of the moon itself. Love the butterfly pictures! I can never get a decent picture of them, they are just flitting around too quickly.
Thanks! I did it in sepia because that was the day my car air died & my face was bright red - ha!
DeleteMike was pretty amazed that these two butterflies stayed still for him!
That toad has had about enough of you.
ReplyDeleteHa! Yep.
DeleteI love that toad but I refrained from printing this one's picture. He doesn't look friendly.
ReplyDeleteYou both get such lovely photos.
ReplyDeleteI think the tax time pig is feeling 'sequestered'...
Thought about you today as we rode in DC and stopped by the Botanical Gardens. Then on the way back out, there was a lovely rose garden...again, Bug's eye view popped to mind!
One advantage of being the last to comment is that I get to read all of the above.
ReplyDeleteAll the photos are extraordinary, as usual, (do those two concepts go together?)
so anyway, I will just agree heartily with all of the above, and especially Sara's about seeing you soon!
poor old TTP, being attacked by a squid!
ReplyDeleteLove the shots of the flowers
love the butterfly pictures! dr. m has a great view!
ReplyDeleteThat last shot of the sunflower....outstanding!
ReplyDeleteIt would make a great painting!
Blessings
