Photo-a-Day Week 14

Our week started off wet, we need rain and were glad to have it! So without much ado, here are the photos for the fourteenth week of the challenge.

Day 90- 

Taking the dog for a walk in the rain with an umbrella is not easy. The business of the walk usually involves bringing a baggie back to toss into the garbage, adding to the juggling of all items while trying to stay dry. I added the challenge of getting a rain photo.

Day 91-

As I write this, I have a white dog nosing my arm, wanting to go outside. She has been known to bump my keyboard and hit enter while I am posting something on Facebook. She gets very insistent. This photo of Fiona jumping to catch the disc was taken from a short video. I really like being able to grab a single frame of action. She does like to play! 

Action!

Day 92-

If it isn't gardening, it is pets. Millie loves to snuggle into warm sheets. Every cat we have owned likes to 'help' put clean sheets on the bed. It must be a cat thing, as I have heard from other cat owners that their cats also assist in making the bed.

I love sheets fresh from the dryer.

Day 93-

This little guy was hopping around the flagstone patio one evening. I was able to get a photo of him and keep the dogs from investigating what it was. This toad was about the size of my thumbnail. I think it is a Fowlers Toad but am not certain.

Hop!

Day 94-

I have three Drift rose bushes near the front door. Before we took our trip to babysit our granddaughter, I sprayed a deer repellent on the roses and other deer candy in my yard. They came back about a week later and checked to see if it was still yucky tasting. Many of the flower buds were eaten except this one. Drift rose 'Popcorn'

Day 95-

We have glass block in our bathroom and outside the window is a Calycanthus tree/shrub. Every year when it blooms the burgundy and green colors make interesting designs through the window.

Day 96-

I keep my lemon tree in the garage in the winter. We have windows on the large garage doors and a side door as well, so it gets enough sunlight. When I brought other lemon trees into the house during the winter I always end up getting spider mites and they do not recover well. I pulled this one out of the garage about a week or so ago. It is full of blooms (and dog hair) and the fragrance is so lovely! You can smell these blooms all the way up the driveway.
