Recently I took a short bike ride (~8.5 miles) along roads rather than bike paths. My helmet and vest are both neon yellow. It was at a time of day when traffic was very slow, so I felt relatively safe. I came across this Airstream sitting in the parking lot of a mom and pop…

Doodads — August Toads Plus
I mentioned spotting lots of baby toads and many butterflies around the property when I mowed last week. The monarchs seem to have moved on since then but others are still fluttering here and there.

Doodads — Queen Anne and Witch Hazel
Do you ever wonder why they name plants after women? I just wondered when I saw the two flora I am including are named Queen Anne and Witch Hazel. Anyway… the first pic is a lovely patch of lace out near the road. It grows all over here. There is a plant that has gone…

Doodads — Hair Goes Electronic, Chet Atkins, and Johnny Cash x 2
