August is here –phlox are abloomin', cats aprowlin'

Can you see it in the first photo? I spotted a tell-tale spot of green in the luscious pink phlox. Such a tiny, newly morphed tree frog!



Hubby hauls out his suit for hatchin', matchin' and dispatchin's. I liked the outfits for hauling in the garbage! The funeral, Tuesday, was lovely. Joy, tears, laughter. A true celebration of life and a life well-lived. Such a good man, whom I entertained with silly stories, photos, and, once, my deer sheds from winter. I worked with him for a year and a half.


Cats are up to no good, I'm sure. I don't know why Dorah came so close to lie down near Annabelle. Meantime, Daisy was down on the sidewalk below. Annie, you can see, has made herself at home!


I spent a quiet time down on the frog pond dock.

That looks like the hundreds of frogs we saw at Ompah the other day!

The cats might be speculating on themselves as to how long it'll take before they see the first snow.
