The Longest Day

 Today is the first day of summer, the longest day of the year! And the Big Bull was ready!

He is all ready for a swim.

The Big Cat, on the other hand, chose to be very understated.

And so it goes on the first day of summer here.

“Time loosens its grip, letting the day wander where it pleases.”

A Wandering Ember

The front of the doctor's office building had a long row of Milkweed!

Butterflies love Milkweed and lay their eggs on it.

The bees love it too.

And then I spotted a couple Great Spangled Fritillary!

Too Cute To Stay Buried

 We happened to pass this last week. I couldn't believe my eyes! Especially since Easter is way in the past! Nevertheless, for your enjoyment...an Easter Bunny Skelton. Right in someone's small front yard.

Sunday Sunset - Blue & Yellow

 I just snapped these last night after a thunderstorm. In order.

The Answers

 The answers to my questions on my last post are here! These guitars are scrubby sponges.

And this one is a cookie jar. It may appear smaller than it really was because it was way above my head.

Guessing Game

 So did I buy anything at Buc-ee's? Yes, I bought this little broom and dustpan set.

Also the tiny chicken pitcher in the top right.

And now a fun quiz. Since a lot of things there are not what they seem to be, can you guess what the next two photos really are?

Clipped

 We recently went to Buck-ee's and the things we saw! First, would you believe these are all chip bag clips?

Bee measuring spoons

This is a caterpillar vegetable peeler.

And this is a guitar pizza cutter. 

Cactus glasses. There will be a test next!
