This hot humid weather saps what little strength I have, so a puzzle has helped me put in the last few days. This one has a piece missing...makes me so mad!

Casey, your post would make a GREAT find the critter! LOL

Susan, I haven't seen that toy with 2 balls. We had one, and it would drive us crazy with Roxie whizzing the ball around in the middle of the night. We'd turn it upside down before we went to bed. :-)

I think Annie's photo would make a GREAT find the critter! I'd be looking for daaaaaaays! :0)

One of my little gardens around my yard. This is the Birdbath Garden.

Murraysmom - you got green grass! and the little garden is pretty too.

Casey, are you serious, you actually walk that that trail? ? ? ? I'm very curious about where you live, the pictures of your walks are amazing!!

Love your garden and the fence beyond, Murraysmom!

Rusty, I live in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada. That trail is called North Head Trail although most people just call it the Signal Hill Trail. It winds around Signal Hill. It's quite steep in places but at least there are stairs to climb. I typically start at the bottom of the hill (on the other side) and walk up the road to the top, then take the trail back down. Many, many people jog this trail but I am not a runner. It looks worse than it actually is, although there are no rails, only a few steps with handrails. In one section where the trails is especially narrow and steep there is a chain bolted to the cliff face so you can hang on to it. I rarely do, quicker to just go without holding onto the chain. It usually takes me 48 minutes to do the entire trail. I haven't done it much this year because I've been doing other trails but last summer I used to do it 3 or 4 times a week. It's a great workout!

Wow, Casey, better workout than the gym! Plus very scenic too.

Alisande, our boys used to have a similar track game.

I bought one for mine that had a mouse that had a motion-sensor inside that squeaked. Now THAT will drive you crazy. The stray tom would catch the mouse every time but couldn't figure out how to get it out of the plastic casing. He would lift up the mouse and unit together and drop it, lift up the unit and drop it over and over. ugh

CindyMac, what a sweet kitty! Jasdip, I have the older, 1-track version of that toy too. The ball disappeared, so I bought a replacement, and that disappeared too. I suspect my little grandsons rather than the cats. I suppose I'll get yet another replacement ball and make it the "upstairs toy."

The scenery there is breath taking! Here, everything is absolutely flat. I still can't imagine anyone actually walking the trail pictured today, no matter how much better it is than it looks.

Thank you for answering my question, Casey. Since I've discovered this thread, I check back every day, sometimes several times a day, just to enjoy all the beautiful pictures y'all share.
