Congratulations!🍾🎉

That's good. And heartening. Have had dogs that didn't really go through dolly destruction before. But, also, have had ones that ate furniture, $700 work boots, stereo speakers, car seats, etc. The 2 we have now have been determined to leave no dolly in less than 20 pieces. Hugs to your good dog🐶🙂

Congratulations on another trip around the sun Gwen! And for sharing some of it via your pictures and videos.

Gabby has just started, suddenly, not de-stuffing her dollies and winning the squeaky prize at about 2 y.o. Good luck 😁. And hope it's not too long or expensive

Congratulations Greta! It's been wonderful watching you construct this pop tee. Thank you for sharing your process and the products of each step in your journey. I especially love the colors.

event sign over a wood satge awning with "Reggae on the Mountain" in progressive green, yellow, red. a crowned lion's face floats above a verdant valley that stretches into a pink and blue sky. 2 flag poles topped with Rasta, lion of Judah flags are on either side of the stage.in front of the stage to the right, obstructing view of stage is the top of a red and yellow sun-umbrella. Behind the stage is a wood gazebo and, mostly, oak trees (Quercus chrysolepis) all across the back of the photo.

View from the back of the audience field toward the stage (toward the right, appreciating a glowing sunset toward some oak covered hills, over the tops of tents, umbrellas and awnings . The trees in the back are in silhouette with the darkening sky

A day full of music. Weather was perfect.

go Teddy!

soooo.....aliens then 😳😱😆🤣
seriuosly though, thank you for the clarification. I figured you had already checked that, but was curious, of course.

Thanks for these, Steve. My mom & I have been discussing the i.d. of a critter they see periodically in her neighborhood, (no pics of course) for a couple of months now. I shared some of your pics w her & she agreed it's likely a young coyote they are seeing. Thank you for assisting the debate.

I wonder if there might have been a graft on a different root-stock with an new, un-noticed sucker from that rootstock that made-a-break-for-it with your last hard prune? Or it's aliens 👽 😆

reddish brown colored young mantid, looking toward the camera, sitting on white painted wood framing, against a greyish lavendar stucco wall. Mantis' legs and "arms" have black mottling along their length. The side of the mantis has a light colored delineation along its length..

@lovemotus.bsky.social forwarded this little mantid to me. Maybe trying to blend in to the stucco? I have not seen one so "red" at this young stage of development in our area before. I don't know enough to i.d. this cutie.

indeed!

My yards were filled with these. Until the feral cat came back. Now it's filled flies and mossies. I prefer the phoebes. They are such aerial acrobats!

🎊🎂🎉 such cutie helpers no matter what age 😁 Our friend has a doggy "away-camp". When we recently went by she had 7 Goldens in attendance. I was mobbed by a proper cuddle of Goldens! They helped me sit. all at once 🤣. still, was in heaven. Hugs to Riley!

Riley is helping!😁

🤞🏼cheap experiment with potential fresh produce reward? worth it!
