Super Dog

Daphne is nearly 10 years old, but she still knows how to play like a puppy.  She loves playing fetch and tug-o-war.  Sophia wanted to see how far Daphne could jump when leaping off the deck to fetch her ball.  I think we were all impressed with her height and distance.

It’s not often that we see Sebastian in a shirt tie.  He was all dressed up to attend an end-of-the season caddie banquet at the local country club.

Most of my plants are done for the season including the garden vegetables and flowers. The deer have finished off anything that had remained except for a few blossoms on the hosta plants and one lonely rose.

The fall colors are beginning to show up on maple trees throughout the city.  I’m looking forward to capturing some of those changing hues in the weeks ahead.

Blue Iris

My favorite irises are about to bloom.  The Siberian Iris.

The first clematis blossom opened this week.  The plant died back quite a bit after our record cold winter.  It only has a handful of buds this year.

I spotted our friend “Chippy” filling up his cheeks under our neighbor’s bird feeder a few nights ago.

We see deer in our yard every day now.  Sometimes twice or three times a day.  The deer repellent has kept them away from my Asiatic lilies until a couple of days ago.  They ate all but two buds.  😦

The fog moved out this morning and we actually had an 80 degree day with peeks of sunshine.  We are hoping for another warm day tomorrow.  Fingers crossed.
