Reunion at my Place!
Convalescing at my house means sauntering through
the tall grasses and flowers while readying for some visitors ~~~
Daddy Jim has been rather excited lately
because some friends from the 60's
are coming to visit and to celebrate ~~~
45 years ago in 1968
they spent the summer together
and called themselves the
The L'Town Gang.
So Jim has been getting the house in order
with newly painted walls,
freshening up the hardwood floors,
and
straightening up the garden where needed.
When he has a goal,
his sites are set.
Look out
that's all I can say.
His pet peeve is buttercup!
I leave it at that!!
Even my next door neighbour, Milo had his eyes on us
as we appeared to be so industrious.
Mosquitoes are to Daddy Jim
like ants are to honey.
Then from out of nowhere
they appeared
'women'
my favourite people
on the planet!
~~~ Paulette and Dilly ~~~
You are right this is Dilly!
Cool name, eh!!
and this is Paulette,
she has soothing hands
I want you to know.
While they oohed and aahed over the rhodos and other flowers,
I sniffed the grass for munchies.
Mike, Dilly, Paulette and Jim really had a grand reunion.
~~~
There was plenty of food
and
Jim made a seafood chowder to die for.
The smiles tell it all!
You know how it is when you haven't seen someone for ages
and you pick up from where you left off
just like it was yesterday?
Well this is how they were the other day!
I, for one
was so happy to be part of their reunion.
~~~
Come again Mike, Dilly and Paulette.
My backyard is always open!

Buzzin' Bees!
This day was sunny and the garden was full,
literally amass, of bees.
I kept my eyes on them with trepidation.
These female bees
are hard at work
gathering pollen for the hive.
Head's up everyone ~~~
Here comes a very industrious gatherer!
This one is tucked away
inside this hellebore
almost like camouflage
for the stamens
and the bee are so very similar in colour.
Bobbing away on this small epimedium blossom,
you can see the pollen attached to the hind quarters
(pale orange/yellow just by the black body)
I stood there staring at this girl.
She just centered herself in the upside down blossom
and harvested all the pollen.
Off to the azalea blossoms,
so many!
Even other insects were joining in on the bonanza!
I feel much better about bees and creepy crawlies.
Ron just sits or stands quietly with Mr. Camera.
Sometimes I think he's a wee bit cuckoo!
All this excitement over these small fellers
when he could be playing
CATCH ME
with
MR. ORANGIE!

While it rains.....I dream
As the clouds roll in I sleep and dream of what I could be doing when the sun comes out...
....heading to the beach with my BFF, Clancey
....running like crazy with my fave ball...looks like Drake, the choc. lab has his fave chewy too
...waiting patiently with Clancey and a pal on the trail
....teasing DR(he`s so easy)
.....welcoming hugs from DJ
....sniffing rhodos
....following DJ home
...getting lost in the garden(click photo to see me)
or dreaming of just watching the garden and wait patiently for the day my pool comes out.
