It’s almost 6:30 on a Saturday
night & I can hardly hold my eyes open. We’re such party animals around
here!

Dr. M harvested Big Sunny today. He put the seeds in with the rest
of the bird seed.
We found a volunteer zinnia in the same bed as our miniature rose
bush. So cute!
This marigold is planning to take over the world – it’s a monster!
Next to last hummingbird sighting of the year – we didn’t get
a picture of the last one.

A very sincere pumpkin patch.
Is it just me, or does this
picture make you think of Children of the Corn too?
Sunflowers!

The fog was really lovely on my
way to work this morning.
Dr. M noticed that Chloe the
Flamingo (dressed in her Halloween outfit), has a dragon shadow!
Silly bunny in the back yard – I’m
sure it thinks it’s completely hidden.

Deer family on campus.
I saw this license plate today –
made me smile.
Thursday,
October 3rd
Dr. M captured this picture of
The Deerstalker checking out the campus herd. Ready to pounce any minute. Yep.
Any minute now…
The shawl I made myself. I
finished it weeks ago, and finally remembered to take a picture.

Roses on Dr. M’s campus – so pretty.
I was a little freaked out when I opened Bloglovin’ &
saw my
post which contained a picture of the Burberry ad, below the actual
Burberry ad. Spooky!

October 5th
Today I went to see the sunflowers myself. Unlike Dr. M, I
did not park my car to get a really good shot (I am such a lazy photographer!). This is through the front windshield. It’s
really a terrible picture, but I love the little girl in her Ohio State
Buckeyes cheerleader costume.
P.S. As requested by Stephen, here is what an insincere pumpkin patch looks like :)

Go to Mamma Fran’s blog here
to see the blogs of all the other Project 365 participants. Have a great week!
Most of our photos are taken with a 12
megapixel Nikon D5000 DSLR, using a 55-200mm zoom lens. This is the camera that
Dr. M takes with him most days. He also takes pictures with our old reliable 7
megapixel Canon Powershot A710. The Bug uses our new Nikon Coolpix S6200 most of the
time. If you’re interested in which camera was used for a particular shot, just
ask!
Ha - this made me laugh: A very sincere pumpkin patch.
ReplyDeleteLove the fog picture!
And speaking of party animals...after we cleaned house this morning, we were slugs the rest of the day. I didn't leave the house once except for one step out the backyard to take a sunset picture. You're in good company!
Loved the fog picture, too! She did great with that one. I've been a slug all day today.
DeleteGreat pictures as usual, but I'm curious: could you show us a picture or at least describe an "insincere" pumpkin patch?
ReplyDeleteHa! I've added a picture of an insincere pumpkin patch for you :)
DeleteAwwww...I never thought it was insincere...poor Linus :-(
DeleteI loved "The Great Pumpkin" when I was a kid. I haven't seen it in years. I wonder if it's on YouTube?
ReplyDeleteThings look so incredibly AUTUMNAL where you are!
What is Bloglovin'? Did you originally see that Burberry ad there? That is VERY coincidental, isn't it?!
Bloglovin is what I use since Google Reader went away. I like it pretty well - keeps my blogs organized & lets me know when there are new posts on the blogs I follow.
Deletei rather like the cheerleeder shot - and the shawl looks lovely and warm for the oncome of winter. I see that the habit of dressing up inanimate objects is spreading from Tax Time Pig...
ReplyDeleteOh yes - we love to dress up our critters around here :)
DeleteCan't believe how much is in bloom at one time. Two weeks ago we were driving through the hillsides of Italy and the sunflowers were already gone by.
ReplyDeleteThe shawl is so pretty and I like that it has special meaning. You certainly keep your hands busy!
This sunflower field is planted just so it reaches peak in early autumn. That said, we cannot believe how well our marigolds and zinnias are still doing! And the roses at school are well tended and amazing. We are enjoying what is called Indian Summer in these parts. Frost will come soon enough, and it will all fade.
DeleteI'm reminded of 'sincera' in Spanish which broken down means 'without wax'. Hmmmm. However that adjective form can only be used with femenine nouns. Hmmmm.
ReplyDeleteHa! I guess those would be the less shiny pumpkins :)
Deleteyou have bunnies in your back yard!?
ReplyDeletemarigolds don't do well here but that doesn't stop the nurseries from selling them.
beautiful roses.
We have the occasional bunny, yes...our neighborhood seems to be a wildlife area! Squirrels, rabbits, skunks, raccoons, possums...we've seen them.
DeleteLove that moocow calendar!
ReplyDeleteWe call it our Cowendar...we've got one the last two years because the color scheme matches our kitchen and, well, it has cows! What's not to love?
DeleteIt’s almost 6:30 on a Saturday night & I can hardly hold my eyes open. We’re such party animals around here!
ReplyDeleteMy wife and I stayed up to 10:30pm last night watching Netflix. I went to bed while her intention was to watch another episode of Supernatural. But she told me this morning she was asleep on the couch a few minutes after I left.
Mike often falls asleep on the couch after I head to bed (& sometimes before I head to bed).
DeleteTerrific as always. No matter the team, I love to see little girls (and boys) with team spirit. Even the oneses on the babies.
ReplyDeleteI've been smiling because apparently some hospital in Pittsburgh has been putting the newborns in Pirates onesies since they made the playoffs. So cute!
DeleteGorgeous shawl! Should come in handy as the weather cools down. Ivan says we're leaving just in time :)
ReplyDeleteI love fields of sunflowers! Or even lone sunflowers. Actually I really like flowers of every kind. But there's something special about sunflowers.
I should be packing but instead I'm using this last opportunity (Tina has internet!) to read some blogs :)
I actually used the shawl last night - ha!
DeleteHappy travels!
