The Seashell Bra

 The Big Cat has been absent for awhile. This is because she has been partying all summer. Dressed in her seashell bra, she has really been into the summer season!




Did I ever mention that she has her own weathervane?


“Her seashell bra smelled faintly of salt and wild asters.”

Metallica

 Some people around here have been putting metal flowers in their front yards. When done right, they can be very pretty. And no watering! I almost missed this one as we passed by.


We turned around and went back for a closer look.









We also passed another yard with these, but they are not near as pretty.

Attack Of The Mummy Chickens

 A few weeks ago, we went to a local store and got a surprise. They were selling so many mummies! Especially mummy chickens and roosters! This must be a trend that I missed. We were greeted by this huge one standing guard outside the door.


He looked mad.


His tail was a skeleton claw.


More of the same inside.




No mummy chickens for me! I snapped and left.

Summer's Last Shout

 The last tree to bloom at the end of summer is the Crepe Myrtle. Do you have any? There are plenty around here. Mostly pink.






Next are the whites. Did you know there are over 50 species of Crepe Myrtle? I had always thought there was only one.



There sure are a lot around here. Finally, the reds. not near as many.

Cluttered

 I have posted this apartment several times in the past. For every occasion, they really decorate the front. With LOTS of stuff!! In fact, so many things that no one thing really sticks out. It is wildly done! This is for summer.





She does have lovely hanging baskets though. I finally happened to meet her, and she is a very sweet nurse.

School For Cows

 School started this past Wednesday. And the Big Cow was in the school bus and all ready!



He had his crayons.


And even an apple for the teacher. Hopefully he won't eat it first.
