A Dark and Foggy Night

“The, uh, omnipresent low fog hugging the thicket of overgrowth… Wait – is that a hound I hear baying out on the moors?” ~ Scully

Wobbles Needs a Home

Stephany — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 03:48:02 +0000

Not one of my usual posts but this gorgeous boy stole my heart and I wanted to try to help his foster mom find him a forever home.

Wobbles, a collie mix, was owned by an elderly woman who passed away earlier this month. Her family was unable to take care of him and he ended up in a kill shelter. His story got passed along from several websites the day before he was scheduled to be put to sleep. A network of people joined forces and Wobbles got a Christmas miracle – a wonderful foster home. Now he needs a forever home.

He is blind and his age is up for debate – some sources said 7 years, some said 11 years. Whatever his age, his foster mom says Wobbles is “a good boy with loads of personality”. Being blind isn’t a problem for him, he gets around just fine. Click here to see a video of him climbing the stairs at his foster home.

He’s housebroken and does well with other dogs and cats. He is also neutered, up-to-date with his shots, heart-worm negative and has been microchipped. If you are interested in adopting Wobbles, please leave a comment and I will put you in touch with his foster home.

This year’s new ornament is a little Nisse (sans beard) that I crocheted.

Click photo for gallery.

Most of these photos were taken at Lake Hickory, the rest are from my neighborhood. The camera my son gave me has a setting for Fall colors and all but three of these are (resized) as-is off the camera. They’re a little slow to load. I saved them in .png format so the compression wouldn’t mess up the reds and blues.

I’m combining memes because I really liked the photo I picked out for Watery Wednesday in sepia tones. See what you think…

The Haunted Lake

From ghoulies and ghosties
And long-leggedy beasties
And things that go bump in the night,
Good Lord, deliver us!

Happy Halloween!

The holly is dark when the rose briar blooms…

My Peace Rose is putting on one final show as we head into winter.

The photo above was taken on Thursday. We’re still under freeze warnings at night, so, I cut the rose and put it in a vase inside of my fall basket. If you look close, you can see a few raindrops on the petals.

Head over to Today’s Flowers to see more blooms from around the world!
