Your lavender Plectranthus is beautiful susanwv! Those 'Mona's seem to bloom forever. Yours is obviously a very happy plant. Great group of photos again today--cool bridge setting, autumn color [sadly lacking here :( ], and fun shots. This neighborhood cat was not very skilled at tree climbing in the first place, and on this day, was getting doubly insulted by an attacking mockingbird. Poor cat; what a rough morning he was having!

Lippizzaner horses during a training session at the Lipica stud farm in Slovenia. The trainer was very hard on the young woman who were doing the riding. One of them was on tears afterwards. Sorry the second picture is a bit fuzzy.

found this plum tree at the lake, while walking, picked all, even though I had to shake the tree to get the rest off. :) that's the size of them strained them after cooking them with the pit in, cause the pit was ssssoooooooo hard to remove in the raw plum cooked this canned the finished product. It is oh so yummy! Now, I wish I had smaller jars on hand... but I will next year. ;)

Aww, thank you, summer! We've been on vacation and just returned a few days ago. Been trying to get caught up with unpacking, laundry, the mail and all kinds of good stuff like that.
