THE GREAT OUT DOORS

CHIRP CHIRP THE SOUND OF A TREE FROG IS PRETTY. OL STICKY TOES ARE EASY TO CATCH WHEN YOU FIND OUT WHERE THEY ARE HIDEING. THIS ONE HITCHED A RIDE IN THE DOOR WELL OF MY CAR NOT KNOWING HOW LONG HE HAD BEEN THERE . I JUST HAPPENED TO SEE HIM WHEN I OPENED THE BACK DOOR.PICKED HIM UP AND TOOK HIM IN THE HOUSE TO GET PIX OF HIM. THE GOOD OL TREE FROG STICKY FEET HE SHOULD BE CALLED.

NO THATS NOT A PAINTED TURTLE IT,S A SNAPPING TURTLE, VERY YOUNG INDEED. ABOUT TEN YEARS I WOULD SAY. THEY LIVE FOR A VERY LONG TIME.

NOW WHO WOULDN,T LOVE TO SEE ONE OF THEASE IN THE WILD. THIS ONE WAS ONLY A FEW DAYS OLD. A SIGHT FOR SORE EYES FOR SHURE.THE GRASS IT,S IN IS NEARLY A FOOT TALL.

THIS PRETTY LITTLE FLOWER GROWS ON A VINE . NOT VERY MANY I SHOULD SAY. I HAVE ONLY FOUND A FEW. MABY FROM SEEDS DROPPED BY PASSING BIRDS. BUT VERY NICE TO SEE.

AMAZEING HOW THEY SMELL LIKE PERFUME

THE GREAT OUT DOORS

TAKE A WALK OUT BACK OF MY HOME IN UPSTATE NEW YORK AND YOU WILL SOON KNOW WHY I LOVE THE OUT OF DOORS. YOU WILL SEE MANY VERIETYS OF TREES ,SHRUBS, WILD FLOWERS AND WEEDS. BUT THERE IS BEAUTY AND ODORS OUT THERE THAT I WISH COULD BE BOTTLED UP AND SOLD. TAKE FOR INSTANCE THE MILK WEED PLANT. WHO WOULD OF THOUGHT THAT THIS STICKY FUNNY LOOKING PLANT COULD SMELL SO GOOD. YOU MIGHT NOT NOTICE IF SEEN ON THE SHOLDER OF THE ROAD OR IN SOMEONES GARDEN BUT IF YOU STAND IN ONE OF MY FIELDS RIGHT NOW SORROUNDED BY THEM YOU WOULD SAY UMMMM THAT SMELLS GOOD.

DAISYS AND BROWN EYED SUSANS ARE EVERYWHERE THIS TIME OF YEAR. THEY MAKE BEAUTIFUL FLOWER CENTER PIECES. THEY ARE VERY PHOTOGENIC ALWAYS SMILEING. AS WE WALK THROUGH THE FIELDS MANY ODERS HIT YOU FROM THE MANY DIFFERENT SPECIES .MEDOW LARKS SING AND A RABBITS RUNS FOR SHELTER FROM THE INTRUDERS. IF YOUR LUCKY YOU MIGHT HAPPEN APON A NEW BORN FAWN. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME ONLY ONCE IN THIRTY YEARS.

DADS PRIM ROSES ARE STILL GROWING BACK THERE IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT PLACES . THEY LOOK LIKE A BUTTER CUP BUT ARE BIGGER. AND THEY ARE EASY TO PLANT. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THEY DON,T LAST THROUGH THE SUMMER. THEY GROW THICK AS YOU WANT THEM. DAD USED TO SELL THEM FOR 5 DOLLORS A DOZEN, I THINK THATS WHY I SEE THEM IN SO MANY DIFFERENT PLACES.HE SOLD A LOT OF THEM.HIS LAND LORD BROUGHT THEM UP FROM PENN. AND THEY HAD THEM ALL AROUND THE HOUSE.
