The Land of Melting Shadows: Cat Tales ~ Garden Shots

The Land of Melting Shadows

There once was a land, no further away than your imagination. A Land where the Trees’ whispers can be heard on the wind. And the squirrels chitter and chatter as they scamper to and fro amongst the branches - playing their endless game of tag.

A Land where the Brooks babble endlessly amid fern covered banks. Fish and Tadpoles play a game of Leapfrog in the clear, cool water and Turtles sunbathe nearby.

A Land where the tall Grasses sway in the breeze as if dancing to a distant tune. Wild flowers wave their petals at the busy Bees who fly by; Beckoning to them. Enticing them.

A Land where the Deer graze peacefully in the lush, green valleys. A Land where the Birds and the Faeries gather in the bushes of an evening to share the day's gossip. And the Frog serenade, with Cricket accompaniment, continues well into the night.

A Land where the morning sun melts the night into the shadows of the day. And at sunset the shadows melt into night. But there are times when the shadows melt into things best left to one’s imagination.

A Land of Melting Shadows.

Mommy said she'd be here tomorrow with photos of the wedding. So until then here's a few garden photos for your enjoyment.

Oh.... And beginning today, Me is going to have a Pumpkin update every Monday on Me's post.

So, first the garden photos, then the Pumpkin photos.

The wee little Pumpkin Plant that many people pondered over, has quickly grown into a behemoth.

It has grown across the front sidewalk and into the other flower bed. Mommy has kept the leaves trimmed back so people can get up and down the steps. Mommy found a pair of kid's socks amongst the leaves the other day..... I hear mutterings in the house about "having to keep an eye on That Plant....." and "should the postman go missing.....". But Me knows that The Pumpkin is a strong young plant that only wants to claim enough area to raise a family.

So far there is only one baby. And what a BIG baby it is! This nice looking Jack is only three weeks old and is slightly larger than a basketball. Mommy says it may grow as big as the front step. Maybe I can talk Mommy into measuring Jack before next Monday so We can see how much The Pumpkin grows in a week.

Justine’s Halloween said...: That Angel's Trumpet is beautiful! How exciting to have that healthy of a pumpkin growing. I've seen lots of pumpkin horror stories around the blogosphere lately, so you're lucky!; July 30, 2012 at 3:11 PM
Jeanne said...: Yes, We all feel so lucky to have such a strong Pumpkin plant in our front yard! Mommy told Me that she would go measure Jack tonight.

Robin, Mommy said she didn't think there were any neighborhood kids missing. Mommy said that she heard some of the Loud, Noisy, Sticky Little People that she calls The Grands talking abut 'feeding' The Pumpkin to make it grow bigger. And knowing those Little People, they would feed it their socks. Who knows what else Mommy may find in the Plant!; July 30, 2012 at 5:03 PM
