Tara:

Hello Aunties!  Cato has been telling Mum off for falling behind with the blogg dictation.  this woz our Monday walk - that is ages ago, isn't it?  Bad Mum!

Cato wanted to give AuntieSophie'sHaven something to read when she has her morning coffee.  I do too!  Only I want to show you pics of ME!  Cos they are more interesting than boring word stuff.

Here is a flower.  No one knows wot is is, but Mum likes it.  But then she is flower mad.

Look, nice Mr Council Man has cut me a path in the grass.  But he did it too early.  If he had waited, until just now, I could have got nice green foots.

This is Cato pretending it is HIS path!  Pah!

Mum says I have to show you this.  She says it is a Fairy Ring of mushrooms.  Yeah, I know.  Silly, eh?

That brown Spaniel person is horrible.  He is only a year old and his Dad lets him run around like mad, and he comes charging up and wants to play, and it is very very scary.  He is too big and too bouncy and I hide behind Mum, or just submit, and then he just runs over me!

This is me following Dad down the steps.  He always walks up and down the steps cos then I can follow him.  He knows I like steps.  I love Dad.

Cato:

Rose things.  Mum says they are frothy.  Wot is frothy?

This is the path I'm not allowed to explore. :(  It looks soooooo interesting and sniffy down there, doesn't it?

These are the cherry trees in the summer.  And Tara.  She has found something sniffy before I did.  But I sniffed for longer. :)

Buddle.  Buddley.  Buddleah.  Mum says it is to do with butterflys, and it will be amazing.  I think butterflys fly too high.

This is my new friend.  I don't know her name.  She is old cos she has a grey muzzle, but I like her.  And she was very gentle.  She has nice sniffy knickers.

Another rose.  Don't humans ever get bored of flowers?  They are soooo stinky.  And not in a good way, like poo is stinky.  Flowers are just bleughh.

So happy you told mom off Tara  :prop: I was beginning to wonder had I missed a blog saying you all were on holiday this week.....Missed you and brother terribly.

The grass circle mom called the fairy ring of mushrooms...Can you ask mom to explain what that is? I'm not familiar

Mum::cheezy:

Weeeelllllll, traditionally fairy rings were circles in the grass where fairies had been dancing.  I am afraid I don't know much more than that, but here is a link:

http://www.ancient-origins.net/human-origins-folklore/do-you-dare-enter-fairy-ring-mythical-mushroom-portals-supernatural-003677

But for the more practical of us, it is a ring of darker grass caused by fungus.  Sometimes you see a ring of wee mushrooms on the outer edge of the circle.

What happens is that a mushroom grows, and then spreads in a circle around the original, year by year, the ring grows (some can be thirty feet across, and you can tell their age by their size).

What a great walk you both had........and yes you must amuse us with Mum's  flower pictures as we love seeing flowers of all kinds. My butterfly bushes are in bloom but with the heat the blooms only look good for a day.......now my crypt myrtles are blooming do they also grow in your area? They stay looking good even thru the hot weather............how nice of that gentleman to mow you a path to take your walk.......interesting folklore about the Fairy ring of mushrooms............
