A Substitute

Hello!  It is I, Willie.  I thought you might have missed me.  It has been awhile.

I hope you can see me okay.  It was a little difficult taking these pictures.  You know the opposable thumb thing.  I don't have one of those new iphones yet...I thought I might look better in black and white.  I am, after all, black and white!

Mom said her "word bank" was empty today so I thought I could take over for her although I am usually not very talkative.  

She left her camera out while she was away and I decided to browse her pictures.  I always like to edit those she takes of me.

Here are a few shots she took yesterday when she was walking around the yard.

These are some of her favorites.

I try to remember not to water them for her.

  She pruned her knock-out roses a few weeks ago,

 and wow...they have exploded again.

A few surprise azaleas.  I don't think she really likes  azaleas to bloom in the Autumn.  She likes the old-fashioned spring blooming ones.  She can be a little opinionated like that.

The last of the New Guinea Impatiens.

I don't really get the dead stuff in the basket.  It scares every time I go out the front door.

Autumnal collections.

I'm going to catch that pesky squirrel that is snacking on my Mom's pumpkins.

My Mom will be back soon.  I know she finished a book last night.  I am sure she will find words to talk about it.

uh-oh, gotta go....they're home!

(I hope she remembered my 

favorite snacks) sh-h-h! 

W-illie?  What have you been up to?
