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.

The First Sign

 I was so excited to spot this house today! It looks like a regular house, but has something special.

Pumpkins on the porch. The first sign of fall I have seen this year!

This little dog was beside them. I believe him to be their guardian. He gets paid in bones.

Hidden

 I would like to know WHY some people grow gorgeous plants, and then hide them away from view!!

Like this lovely Crepe Myrtle is hidden in our neighborhood.

Here is a side view.

We had to drive around and look until we found it!

“She hid it, but it kept shining through the seams.”
