Good Morning All!
I have been awake for the past couple of hours...
And very RUDELY awakened too.
...I had fallen to sleep on the couch once more, and was sound asleep when I heard Punkie begin to pace. This is that vague state of awareness that all mothers have when their babies make noise during the night. the awareness you have when you wonder if this is the real deal, or if they will go right back to sleep...
Miss Punk crawled onto the couch, licked my face. I was 'aware' that she had her face pressed to the window.
Then the bark came. Shrill. Loud in the dark of the night. Telling her to shush herself, she lay back down. A few minutes later came the warm, (no "HOT") penetration to my still sleeping nose.
"Permeation" is a better word...
Somewhere old Pepe~le~Pew had been wandering about in the night. And since I have not yet checked, I do not know if it is a matter of road kill, or if Miss Punk had startled the PEW right out of him... A very nasty way to wake up. (And in a manner that does not allow one to fall back to sleep either). It seemed to come in every window... I shall nap yet, because 2 and a half hours of sleep will not get me too far today.
Yesterday was a wonderful break from the hot and muggies. Our own high was about 69, with a nice breeze. (AND I didn't have to water my plants either)! Today should also be quite nice as I try to mow a bit more lawn. The trail to the woods is getting quite long...

But I cannot put these dogs off as they somehow KNOW that some of the mulberries are ripe already...
.
.
And I knew we would have a problem as soon as Miss Milly began rolling in the grass under the tree; and Miss Punk decided to try to jump to catch a few of them. (Not a good thing for her to be doing with her backside bent out of shape)... Grabbing a branch and giving it a good shake kept those 2 occupied for about 5 seconds. After that I couldn't pick them fast enough.
There is a black walnut tree about 20 feet away, and another about 30 feet away. i always keep an eye on these fruits too because they are just so yummy! Looking up, I saw this...

Speaking of funny colors, Miss Milly had a big old mulberry stain on her face!

And then the "Smiling Contest" between the two dogs seemed to begin...
.

Time then to head back home. Checking on my little weedpatch, I find this growing in the middle of the wildflowers...
Does anyone know what the big plant in the front is?

Since I have forgotten how to spell, I believe I shall take that as my cue to go try to nap a bit more!
I hope you all have a grand Wednesday! (Leave comments silently please, I shall be fast asleep)!
ZZZzzzzzzzz.......
XOXO
