Blue Monday & Ruby Tuesday Too +

 Blue and Ruby in this painting by my daughter-in-law.  I'm not sure what the technique is called, pour or flow or tilted?  At any rate, I wasn't shown which was up or down, so this is how I display it.  I see a galaxy.

Here's some Monday Mickey-Mutt Mischief.  

Mickey can be a handful.  I know he sneaks into the herb garden to steal decorative items (ceramic mushrooms, abalone shells), but lately he's been pulling up entire solar light fixtures, laying on the grass, and chewing like he has one of his bones.  And I'm right out there with him!  Here's one I got back yesterday, along with the rest I proactively took out.  He chewed through to the wires in another last week. 

An extra Blue Monday shot of Canada geese on their way south.  Sort of south, more like south-east here.  South is pretty much the direction I was facing to take the picture.  Flocks are starting to fly over several times a day, and boy, can Mickey and I ever hear them coming!  He looks up, and I tell him "geese" or "goose" which is a bit confusing, because for all the other birds, I tell him "bird."  I also tell him "airplane," because he looks up to watch them.  My son tells me it's no benefit to teach Mickey vocabulary, as he'll never use it!  But, Mickey is curious and it's fun to see him know what I mean.  He knows the different between "bone," and "chewy," and can differentiate between toys, like with "Foxy Loxy," "Snake," or "Lobster."  He may have atrocious leash manners, but at least he has a growing vocabulary!

Have a great week.

Autumn starts in a few days!  The geese know what they're doing!
