Scary Tabitha

This is what she does when she sees or hears something out of the window in her room. She turns into Scary Tabitha, the Halloween Cat. A big clap of thunder caused her to arch her back this time. Now it's raining. my photo - click to enlarge

Corgi in a Swing

He looks as if he doesn't have a care in the world, doesn't he? I never tire of the interaction between humans and their pets. This little guy is clearly loved. via

I found a video of this adorable Corgi too. His name is Twinky.  

Nice Paint Colors on Cottage-Style Home

Traditional Exterior by Bethesda Design. Photograph by Morgan Howarth. It's time to say good night. I mowed for almost 3 hours and still have lots to do. I haven't cranked up my riding mower for 3 weeks and the grass was l-o-n-g. See you tomorrow. Sweet dreams.

Radishes

The Many Views of Selling A House

This is how the seller sees the house.

This is how the potential buyer see the house.

This is how the lender sees the house.

This is how the appraiser sees the house.

This is how the county tax assessor sees the house.

What the buyers are thinking.

I wish there were a picture showing how hard the realtor has to work to get it sold.

Yellow Jacket at Work

This is the third paper nest this year I've had to knock down. I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw this one going up at the top of the door jamb between my living room and the balcony. That's a little too close to home for me. Doesn't he look positively wicked? The yellow jackets make the gray paper themselves by chewing on slivers of wood. The young are hatched and food is stored in the nest’s center or "core" of hexagonal cells. That's today's science lesson from the cottage. my Nikon photo
