Speaking of Stella, we went on a picnic for Labor Day, but she was gone camping with friends, so I thought of what would she take pictures - she has a gift for that. Here are my fav flora - cockleburrs & salt cedars - of which one I love the scent, and the other I always hated pulling out of my socks!

Also - Our neighbors had built a fire this morning - Sully & I noticed the smoke as we left for school, and tonight we have a freeze warning. Good grief, isn't it barely autumn.
