Nature

I have some pictures of animals and nature in my life this week.  Thought this would be more pleasant than talking about my travel worries.

First up ... dogs :)  I got some cute pictures of Polly for her profile.

One of the big fellow bears was spotted in our yard in Asheville.  Neighbor sent me these pictures.  Trash isn't ours since we brought ours home after the weekend -- thankfully.

The little cucumber plant who could.  Man, she's producing.  This was yesterday.  4 more big ones to pick before I leave tomorrow.  They are delicious -- crisps and not an ounce of bitter.  Working on fall "garden" plans.  Lots of learning to figure out when to start growing, etc.  More on this soon.

Full day today with prep for the trip.  I'm in good shape to get it all finished though.  Have a great hump day.  Stay well.  Later gators.
