I consoled my loss by enjoying a beautiful Bottle brush tree on the way. It has started to bloom, which is early, and which, if old wives tales are to believed, means a long hot Summer.

October 13th Walks With (Stubborn) Minnie
Well our Little Miss may have just celebrated her 11th Birthday, but she definitely still has all marbles intact and knows her own mind. We were out for our walk today, and I decided at one point that when she went to make a left turn, we would instead go straight ahead. That was okay. Until we got to the next possible divergent point in our route. She wanted to go left and I wanted to go straight ahead again (a longer route). Well you may not believe this is possible, but we actually had a tug of war on the roadside. Not just once, but up to 5 times, and guess who won?

That looks like one mean guard dog. This is a beautiful flower. Is it a carnivorous flower?

I don't know about mean W, but she certainly is stubborn and got her own way. The flower is not carnivorous, and we commonly refer to them as a bottle brush as that is what they look like in full bloom. No real scent as such, but very pretty.
