I always like these

They show up in the garden –

 

Purle box flowers

 

 

Dunno what they’re called, but I like them. They start out like a little box and then pop open. They’re cool.

The early morning light helps too.

The apple of my eye

Well, the apple on the tree in the backyard anyway –

 

Apple

 

Won’t be long and it’ll be apple butter.

Good work apple tree.

 

 

 

 

PS – Sorry about the lack of activity lately. Been busy playing house fixer-upper guy. (And doing a rather poor job of it at that, if I do say so myself.) Next week should see things getting back to a more normal pace.  

The MGMT

Rodents, be afraid, very afraid

The Hunter is on the loose –

 

The Hunter

 

 

Actually, he’s just trying to act cool. His sister is the hunter of the house. The only thing he’s looking for is a good bit of dirt in the sun in which he can roll around. It’s what he does.

Keeping the gang fed

The hummingbirds that is –

Feed

They tap on the windows, and give you a dirty look if this isn’t kept up to spec.

Keeping up appearances

Besides constant weeding, the garden needs watering –

 

Watering

 

 

Sorry if you’re in California and the sight of this makes you cringe, it’s our reward for 398 days a year with rain.

He’s not, but he likes to act like it –

 

Tough guy cat

 

He’s been enjoying the weather like a true Seattleite.

Good gato.

Keeping busy pollinating things

Good work on the apple tree by the way –

 

Keeping busy

 

Sometimes they don’t want their picture taken and turn their back on you –

 

NEXT!

 

As long as they keep the garden booming and don’t sting me, they’re welcome to stick around.

Disobeying Dr’s Orders

Doc – “And stay off the motorcycle.”
Me –   “You’re joking right?”
Doc – “No, I’m not. NO motorcycle. That’s an order.”
Me –   “That sucks.”

 

Last weekend, Mt Rainier, all 14,411 feet of her –

 

Big hill

 

Look how beautiful it was out. Like I’m supposed to not ride it in weather like that? Yeah, sure thing.

And I lived to tell about it Doc, so there.

 

PS – Nobody say anything to the Doc, else I’ll be in deep doo-doo.
