Mom was admiring these tiny blue flowers growing on a shrub in the “Healing Garden” just outside the hospital room where Dad is resting. I took this picture to show to Mom at some later time.

Happy Thanksgiving!
Pink Moth Orchids
I got these a couple of weeks ago, and they just keep getting prettier. These will be present on our Thanksgiving table tomorrow, even though they are not the ‘traditional’ centerpiece.
Have a very happy Thanksgiving!
Big Red
Last weekend at the Fire Expo, I got this wide-angle shot of an extra-large road grader that the County Fire Department uses for a variety of chores. They use it for everything from making roads to get to a fire, to actually pushing fully involved vegetation and structures out of the advancing fire path. This is a very cool machine for being red hot. You can see Verna admiring this beast at the right. Click for bigger image.
Out with the Old Red, In with the New Red
Still doing well in the planters by the front porch. These have been providing color to the entryway since late September. I’m going to be replacing these red zinnias with red poinsettias for the Christmas Season after Thanksgiving. I’ll post pictures of those after they’re planted.

The Happy Bear
We have been trying to desensitize “Bear” to going for a ride in the SUV. She usually gets a little hyper when she thinks she’s going for a ride. Since we’re planning on taking her on our next vacation, we have been getting her to take short rides so she can (hopefully) get bored with it and just enjoy the ride with us.
I took this picture after she finished her ride while we were on the front porch. Click for a bigger picture.
