This is one of the planters that my DD has been making - I use it as a vase.

Aspen would like to join Ivan in his pillow basket, but it's only big enough for 1 cat. ♥

Well, well, well. Look who I see on our yard cam.

Was trying to take a picture of a bee, but click on this pic to see what was hiding in the tall grass. I didn't see it till I loaded the pic on the computer.

"Culture Feeds Your Dreams". Writing statements on sheets to hang from windows seemed common in some neighbourhoods of Madrid when I was there, obviously commenting on a community issue of some sort. I like this sentiment.

Flower in my back yard

Last year I grew a tomato that looked like Jughead.

In honor of "Nittany" for the Badger Game yesterday. ;)

The sunset from our front portal last night.

We have had a flock of wild turkeys near our house lately. Have counted 11, including the adults. The juveniles are getting big.

Quick pick from my "Garden" folder.

The other morning I woke up with the urge to make relish. I haven't made it since Tom died.

Ran out and got the cukes, peppers and went to town.

Elizabeth, is that a bear??

Lgmd, I can't tell what it is. Mind you I don't see the bee either. :-)

Jasdip, No bee, it flew, but can you see at about center picture the brown ears. That is one of our many little bunnies that we have been entertaining this summer. I should say 'that have been entertaining us'!

Yes. A rather big bear if he was eye to lens with that camera.

I can't decide if my pumpkin is as big as it's going to get or not. I've never grown one before and didn't even plant this one! The "handle" is hard but who knows??? I am pretty thrilled I have it!!

This guy always makes me smile. He's such a character.
