as promised...

here he is...
Bebe the pink poodle...
good thing it was cloudy out today...
the temp is in the 70s and there is a soft breeze dragging this fragrant scent of the autumn clematis across the street and into every inch of our yard...
it is growing up and around a popular tree in the vacant lot across from us...
and it's just buzzing with all kinds of bees...
and these sweet pears are from our neighbors' tree...
she thought she was getting a miniature pear tree...
but these are so large and the tree is so full of them, every branch is drooping from the weight...
she yelled out the door for us take all we wanted...
they couldn't possibly use them all...
so when we got home, I told Craig he needs to go over and see if it's ok to pick bags of them for the food pantry this week...
I think these will find good homes and be so loved by those who cannot afford them in the stores...
the rose of sharon is about spent...
and things are quieting down in the flower gardens...
and the rust is creeping higher and higher on the corn stalks behind us...
and all too soon our hiding place will be open again...
and we will be exposed...
but the winds will be able to blow more through the flat land of this place...
and we have the windows open and lace panels have been fluttering all day...
watched an old Clark Gable movie this afternoon, part of it and I am taping the rest...
I know how it ends...
but it's still a classic...
"It Happened One Night"...
love all the old cars, clothes, hair styles, cabins and gas pumps...
just loved the interior of the bus in the beginning...
looked like a fancy train car...

we got .2 of an inch of rain last night...
still had to water today...
everything under the trees didn't get a drop...
hopefully, God will send more this week...
but the 70s are going to be so much nicer to deal with...
we might even get some outside cleaning done this next week...
have a great night!

  2. OMGOsh-That poor, poor pup! LOL Naked as a jaybird!

    Your pictures and words are as beautiful as they always are, Tete. I am glad you got some rain and will pray that you get some more.

    It is cool here today too. So much so that we made SweetCheeks put on her sweatshirt today.

    Hope your evening is lovely- xo Diana
