September at Sasebo Gardens, Pirate Style


Ahoy Mateys, Cap'n Rosy Sparrow here! 
Tis another Friday where we take a peek at nature throughout the lands and meet some new deck hands! Sail along with me to the South Seas of Sasebo for a peek at the flora and fauna in this great month of September.


The grounds be all manicured and raked. 


with pretty trees everywhere.


There are even still signs of the warmer weather....


I wondered if my pirate ship might fit in the pond. Then I realized the monster koi might attack and sink it. Best to steer clear!


Some lush fauna...perfect for hiding buried treasure!


Aaaaaaarrrrgh, if it weren't for the monster koi we could search the caves behind that waterfall for treasure!


...and by treasure, of course,  I mean foodies!

Mam' made one of these new fangled slideshow/videos featuring the Pagodas and statues of the garden (along with some relaxing waterfall sounds):




The days may be warm, but Autumn be sneaking into the Sasebo region.

These leaves be a turnin'


Very appealin' reds an' yellows don't ya think?



We be seenin' some strange lookin' pods with shiny pearls in 'em.
What do you think, should we plunder them??


The berries be a turnin' red and shiny too.  A sure sign that the colder months are on the way!


Thanky Mateys for comin' along on this journey through Sasebo on Talk like a Pirate Day.

We hope all our Mateys get out and see some flora and fauna this weekend!

Thankful for Outside Time


I sure am thankful for the cooler weather September brought. Most mornings Mama brings my blanket outside. This way I can relax while she drinks her coffee and points out any new birdies that TC might be filming. Then we brainstorm what future Backyard Wildlife Wednesday where we may want to feature said birdy.


 
Rosy may enjoy her morning walks, but I am very thankful for my outside birdy brainstorming time with Mama!

Sneaky Texas Road Trip Peeks (Last Day)


 Mama is wrapping up her Texas road trip adventures today. You know, the trip where she abandoned Sunny and I at home with Daddy. Yes, Daddy gives us cheese and spoils us rotten...Unfortunately,  Daddy does NOT make puppachinos for us every morning! 

Anyways...here are some peeks at Mama's long drive back home!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The drive home was full of giggles, good food, napping(my niece) and listening to Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter and other upbeat tunes!

But first, breakfast!





The Blubonnet Cafe opened in 1926. The restaurant holds so may special memories as we have been coming here with  my parents since they moved to the area in 1999. My niece (now 26) has been coming here every year since she was born!


Always in search of "off beat" coffee stops, Mojo Coffee was a fun and delicious way to start the long drive back!

Buccee's Forever!
Texas is the "birthplace" of Buccees, so we made sure to make it part of the ride home!





You can't leave Buccee's without buying something. I thought this Cowboy Duck air freshener made a nice addition to my collection of quackers.

By the time I got home , I felt a lot like this little green guy.  The wonderful weekend spent with my niece and my Dad made it well worth the drive time!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
Thanks Sunny, for letting me share my trip to Texas with our friends.
I suppose it's ok, Mama, but Rosy and I expect double puppachino's for at least the next seven days!

Bee-having on Nature Friday


Welcome to Nature Friday, where we get to meet new friends and share a picture or two of what nature looks like around Blogville.
Today, we have some Buzzy Bee pictures from the ABQ Botanical Garden.

Mama really enjoyed taking these pictures because the colorful lantana made a beautiful background....


...and the bees were almost posing for her!


Mama even got some video:


(As always, feel free to visit our YouTube Channel HERE)



It's almost like the bees color coordinated with the flower!



Mama is amazed at their cute little furry bodies...




Can you see their beady little shiny eyes?!



Ok Mama, I'll behave...They were "cute" little 
beady eyes.

Thanks for joining us for a look at some cute little buzzy bees and we hope all our friends get out to see some nature this weekend!
