Your Sunday Photo
O.K. It's not a poem, but you must admit, The Mighty Finn McCool is a bit of poetry in motion. Except greyhounds are notoriously thin-skinned (all the better to throw off the massive heat generated by their incredible bursts of speed) and are constantly crashing into things in their robust enthusiasm to be MeFirst!MeFirst!MeFirst. So Finn -- again -- somehow managed to slash the skin over his ribs (Dr. Truax, Finn's vet, loves me. Finn's put his kids through college.), but instead of wearing his (too warm) red Applebee's polo-shirt while healing, I found this swell basketball tank top at Big Five, on sale for. . . a big $5. Sorta looks like a racing vest. Pretty spiffy. You go, Finn!

That's beautiful... nice nasturtiums, too. (By the way, lots of bees in the garden this year, Ann.)
"Come on without, come on within, You'll not see nothing like The Mighty Finn... McCool."
Kinda Sunday Poem-ish ; -)

And it sorta looks like Laker gold! (Boo-yeah.)
What's that in front of him? Something he's waiting for you to put down the camera and throw?
Yes, one of his stuffies. It's genetically impossible for him to race out of the door without some stuffy in his mouth. I have no clue what that's about but it gets comical has he has to 1)leap up off the dog bed 2) race around finding a stuffie 3) beat everyone else to the door who's also lept up off their dog beds and are also running to the door, and do all that and get there first. Always entails a lot of toenails scrabbling on the linoleum.
and, yes. Lots of bees back in the garden this year. I've planted lavender everywhere and the mallow plants are going crazy, as are the nasturtiums -- great mounds of them.
"... it gets comical..."
I'll say! That made me laugh.

If that's also your backyard, on the right -- with the yellow chair -- your backyard looks beautiful.
Yep, that's The Summer Chair I wrote about a few years ago, located in Kifani's corner (wrote about him also). The pink flowers in the foto are the mallows, the green/yellow thingees are giant four o'clocks, which tend to run berserk but are really water thrifty no-care plants. And, yes, it's beautiful, bees and all, crows in the tall eucalypts out front, muttering, or in the dead pine tree out front in the right of way, a tree waiting for the county to get around to taking it out or having it fall over in a windstorm while taking out the power lines and burning the neighborhood down . . .
