MCP Project 52 ~ Week 43

Week 43 Theme ~ Shadow

I wasn’t overly creative this week and as often happens, I missed yesterday’s deadline to enter my photo into Project 52. I did get out this morning before anyone in the house was up and take this picture. I was more interested in the frost on the fallen leaves and not so much with the “shadow” theme, but did manage to sneak it in. Look how the maple leaf in the foreground shadows the oak leaf at the back. Suttle, but I think it counts.

If “frost” had been the theme, I would have hit the jackpot.

Before I went inside, I saw our neighbor’s tall grasses looking very golden in the morning light.

And We Shall Call Her Frankendog

Daphne had a quick procedure this morning to remove a tumor/growth on her forehead. She did very well and was more bothered by the noise from the clippers as they removed her fur. She didn’t flinch when they gave her shots of ladocaine to numb the area. She didn’t even mind the actual procedure except that she had to remain pinned on her side. I was able to be with her through the whole thing and it seemed to help keep her calm. The tumor will be sent out for pathology and we will know in a week if it is anything serious. In the meantime she is all set for Halloween with shiny new staples in her head that will remain there for the next ten days. I have lovingly been calling her Frankendog. Perhaps next year we can just buy her a costume, it would’ve been much less expensive.

Lots And Lots Of Leaves

Sophia and I raked and raked and raked leaves on Saturday. We created a pile that was larger than we have ever had in our yard before. When all the work was done, Sophia rested in the hammock. When she was refreshed, we had some fun.
