Hazy Days and Lazy Nights of Summer

We're winding down here in Middle Tennessee. The kids have all gone back to school; first full week has come and gone. The hub and Frankie enjoy a stogie in the evenings on the front porch.

Gone too are the county fairs.

But there seem to be plenty of bunny sightings these days. I don't know how they survive so close to "Dave's" house (the cat). Very surprising that we haven't had any bunny-part presents this year. That's a good thing.

Bella doesn't seem to care. She is actually using her new cat "bowl" bed. (Don't tell her, but I rubbed it all over Frankie's bed first since she seemed to enjoy that dog smell. Hmmmm.)

The back trees are needing a little assistance in the watering department.

Unfortunately, the poison ivy seems to be quite content with no help from me at all. Now, if I could only remember to get some ivy killer. I would hate to end the summer with that stuff all over me! Ugh.
