It's Tuesday

 Greetings Blogger Buds. Did you have a restful weekend? Is your week going well?

I've discovered Pumpkin Spice English Muffins. Oh my gosh they are so good. Has anyone else tried them? 

AND In the garden.

The mums are  beginning to bloom. 

 Looks like this mum has grown a tail:)

I got a new butterfly bush. It's only supposed to grow to two feet, which is a little bit more dwarfy than I wanted, but I love the color. It's called a blue pugster. 


Anybody know what this guy is?(Besides a spider;) He's hung out there for about a month. Minding his own business.

And last but not least, the Leaf Collector. He collects half the garden in his fur.  This time I found a locust husk, which is much better than the slimy, squishy things he sometimes wears.


Got pumpkin muffins? Colorful spiders? Mums? Butterfly bushes? Leaf Collectors?

You know, this is not a popular opinion but I whole-heartedly dislike pumpkin anything. LOL Sorry, but it's true. But I am glad it makes you happy :) Love your photos! Happy week to you.

I've never had those muffins, but I would love to try them. Your garden looks great, except for that spider! Frankie is beautiful, as always! Hugs, Valerie

I can tell you the spider's personal name. His spider friends call him Tiger.

Leaf Collector is looking gorgeous.

I don't love pumpkin, but my late husband would have loved them.

Love the garden. And the spider. Yes, we have a leaf collector here. And a collector of other less desirable things too.

I prefer my muffins plain, but glad you like them.
That's a funny photo bomb!

Pumpkin English muffins sound yummy. Oh, that plate! Looks similar to plates from the 70s that my mother, MIL, and then me got from the grocery store. A piece a week to make a set. The patterns were daisies and strawberries or just plain. Since I didn't know where we would be living, I opted for the plain. Wow, memories! The color of the butterfly bush is amazing though I will run screaming by the spider. 😱

Aghhhh! First reaction to seeing that spider. I first saw one when I was a kid. It made this web across our living room window and my brother and I just watched it for...forever. The colours were mainly yellow but with some orange. The next time was many, many years later. I came home and the entire web was across our front door which I almost walked right into. To say I freaked is an understatement plus the willies. My mom got rid of it.
I am not a lover of pumpkin flavour but I am a lover of butterfly bushes. This one I love!!! We have 4 but not this colour. I love the mums but never knew they came in lavender/blue. I would love to find one like that. Your pussy cat is so sweet.

Your garden looks fantastic! I love your leaf collector. I'm afraid mine just collects dust! The muffins sound fabulous!

Christine said...

Never had pumpkin spice muffins nor seen such a spider!

Sandra Cox said...

My husband doesn't like pumpkin either. Me, I love it. Have since I was a kid:)

Sandra Cox said...

Thanks for checking this out for me, Val. Looks to be a female. I love the term zipper spider;)

Sandra Cox said...

Those muffins are so good.
Thanks. The first time I saw the spider it gave me a bit of a start. Now we just pretty much ignore each other;)

Sandra Cox said...

They are yummy:)

Sandra Cox said...

Tiger it is:)
Leaf Collector is now resting after a hard day of patrolling the garden:)

Sandra Cox said...

Sandra Cox said...

I hear ya on the less desirables. Sigh.

Sandra Cox said...

Thanks, Alex. Do you put peanut butter on your muffins too?:)
Glad you liked the photo bomb:)

Sandra Cox said...

Wow, memories indeed. We got ours in the 80s when we lived in WI. And definitely a piece a week to make a set. We also got the pots and pans, which the only one remaining is the throw up pan. (So named for when the kids were sick and hurling and needed something to aim for;)

Sandra Cox said...

I hate walking into spider webs. Ack.
Pumpkin flavor isn't for everyone:)
Sweet....hmmm:)
Hope you have a pain-free day.
Hugs

Sandra Cox said...

Works for me. I love pumpkin. Although, not all the stores carry these. Had to hunt for them.

Sandra Cox said...

Thanks, Yvonne. I adore them too;)

Sandra Cox said...

Good on you for keeping the critters indoors. Luckily, our critters have a safe play area.
Motor oil. Ack! I bet you weren't a happy camper.

Sandra Cox said...

Thanks, Jeanie. Guess you're going to have to use Lizzie for a dust mop:) Frankie's tail would work too.
:)
The muffins are wonderful:)

Sandra Cox said...

The muffins are delish. The spider....interesting;)

Sandra Cox said...
