Wordless Wednesday
Either this dog has mumps or he thinks he’s a chipmunk!
It looks like he’s got two balls in his mouth – maybe a tennis ball on one side and a ping pong ball on the other doesn’t it?
I’ve known of some dogs that would carry balls like that around most of the day. The ball would just be a gooey mess when they finally let go of it to beg you to throw it for them. Yuck.
What a name for a lovely autumn flower – Toad Lily. I wonder who thought up that name?
The photo that I’ve posted today is of Toad Lily flower buds. If you ask me they’re more than a little phallic looking. I took that photo a couple of weeks ago and now the flowers are blooming.
This is what the Toad Lilies look like when they are blooming –
Aren’t they so much more lovely than their name?

Puppies are so cute! But I bet some are born with poor sight. I mean, humans aren’t always born with perfect sight so why would we expect all puppies to be able to see well?
Certainly glasses on a puppy is a more practical solution than contact lenses? LOL
Wordless Wednesday
Ok we’ve all seen new stories that show cars that have crashed into buildings or that have been carried by strong storm winds into trees or the top of buildings.
Some commercial buildings place cars or even airplanes in settings that make them look like they’ve crashed into the building … Well, now even home owners are beginning to do their own take on “car crashes into building” scenes.
I guess this is a new art form?
Rich red snapdragons.
Mine are still blooming away thanks to the heatwave we had last week.
In fact just about everything in my garden that had any bloom ability left is blooming away right now.
The temperatures are finally at a more seasonal level – like 50 to 60 F rather than almost 100F. Perhaps my plants will now start to get the message that it’s time to go dormant for the winter?
