A toad was
snugged down in one of the bromeliads.
Emma, the cat,
helping me with my drawings.
The yellow 13
Acre Field was mowed.
The magnolia
tree is blooming.
The dewberries
have been providing me with fruit to go with my breakfast.
It was a spider
kind of day.
I know you can't
tell from this picture but this zucchini blossom was enormous, maybe
8” across.
Either Big Mama
finally laid her eggs or the fugue state that possesses her finally
passed, but she hasn't ventured out of her pond for a week and a
half. That I forgot to remove the bridge the last time we went to
the city and spent the night and she probably spent more than 24
hours in the yard, might have something to do with it. She does seem
to enjoy hanging out on the bridge though.
I'm in love with your turtle.
ReplyDeleteI've had little frogs be in my hose area. So small they can be.
The toad is a treat. Can't believe you found him.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great picture of the toad! And the flower & spiderweb pictures are fabulous. Makes me excited to go visit my dad at the end of the month (the flowers - not the spiders). His yard will probably be out of control.
ReplyDeleteloved this. all of it. but that toad snuggled down into that plant is too darn cute!
ReplyDeleteThat frog pic' is so cool. And I always like when you post pics and stories of Big Mama's adventures.
ReplyDeleteI told you we planted a small container garden, right? Well, we saw our first two blossoms on our tomato plants yesterday and you would've thought the dog had puppies we were so excited. I think the fact that we didn't kill them when we planted them was the most thrilling part. They aren't as impressive as an 8" bloom but we'll take it. :)
Enjoy your weekend.
All of these pictures are beautiful Ellen! The more I look at all the "things" outside, the more I come to realize I am hopelessly a city girl. It's been so humid here the last couple of days that all I do is stay inside with the AC. Hopeless.
ReplyDeleteFab photos Ellen. I love the toad!
