Away

 

Thor takes his work
(guarding the house)
seriously

Very seriously



Cam is much more laid back,
Although on call if actually needed




Plant ID please


Hot enough to make the Robins pant



Juv. Rose-breasted Grosbeak

Best reward of the day

Awesome birthday present

There was also really tender good steak that our boy grilled over at the race (where everyone else spent the day) which I ate on the way home. No knife or fork. Just took it in my hands and nom nom nom. Hey...what can I tell you?....I was hungry.

***As you may have guessed we drove out to visit the kids yesterday. They took the boss to Watkins Glen for the big NASCAR race, while I stayed at the house and kept the doggos company. Home by 11:30, which was not too bad.



I know, baby, I know
Grandpa can be kinda scary sometimes
but he is harmless, I promise

Oh, so much fun. That baby is just darling. And I LOVE the dogs.

The plant is moth mullein.

Looks like you had a grand visit with your family, dogs included. I agree with Denny144 that your yellow-flowered plant is Moth Mullein (Verbascum blattaria), a plant that can also have white flowers, both varieties with a purple furry center. Not a native wildflower, but not invasive, either. I think they are beautiful.

LInda, she is a dear!

Denny, thank you! It is so pretty and I have never seen it before

Jacqueline, it is always so good to see them. The dogs are hilarious! Thank you for your ID! I was thinking of you when I photographed them. They were growing here and there in the kids' garden and I agree! They were so pretty!
