PECO

This is one of our dog's.

His name is Peco and he was not happy that I woke him from his nap to take this picture!

ALL BLOOMED OUT!!

BIRDS TALKING

Just look at that mess down there!

We were supposed to stop there for a bath but I'm not getting into that mess!

Me either, Henry.

Let's keep flying until we find a bath the the owners keep clean.

I think that we shound report these conditions to the Bird Community.

OK, lets stop at the next tree and sing about the mess like birds!

We will spread the word in the bird community that No one should stop here.

What a mess.

The people who own this bird bath should be ashamed of themselves.

OK, Ready Henry?

Ready...

Start singing!

THE BEAUTY AND PROMISE OF FALL

SWING INTO FALL

SUMMER CHAIRS TALK

Man...it's gettin cold out here!!!!

I know. I slid down to stay warm and now..I'm stuck.

Can you scoot over this way and help me?

Hey, I told you not to slide down and you did it anyway.

Well...Excuse me for asking for your help!

Maybe, the people who live in the house will come out and take us inside.

I don't think so.

Why not?

Well, I talked to the tables on the other side of the yard and they said that they stayed outside all last winter.

Well, thats just dandy...We will freeze, I tell you...freeze!

I gave those people the best years of my life and look what it got me.

Just hush and try to look pretty. Maybe, they haven't forgotten about us.

Maybe, they will come out and take us inside.

I just thought of something...I bet we are going to be replaced!!!!!

I won't believe that until they throw us in the trash.

Just wondering...Do you think that the trash would be a warm place??

Would you be quiet...I'm trying to sleep.

OK...

Talk next Spring?

Yeah.....If we're lucky!

FALL COLORS

BRICKS IN THE RAIN

THE END OF THE GROWING SEASON...TOMATOES TALKING...

I can't believe they left us out here to freeze!

Me either...

But, look over there at Fred...

Ugh, he got smashed last night!

Yeah, there must have been a big party because alot of our brother's and sister's looked smashed! Why weren't we invited?

I don't Know but...

I don't like being lumped in with all the smashed ones.

We are still green with a dash of pink and still whole.

The people who planted us have NO Heart..I tell you...

NO HEART!

Just think..

We could have been....

FRIED GREEN TOMATOES and now look at us.

Yeah, I know..It's a lost season, brother. A lost season... Hey, just had a thought....

Let's get smashed too!  It might be fun! We either get smashed or freeze to death.

OooooKkkkkk....

Smashed it is....

You Go First!!!!!!!!!!!!
