A few questions on this posting; Where were you taking Kumo that involved a trip down Congress?
Have you recently purchased a new ladder?
Is your little girl trying to make poot noises with her hand in her arm
pit?
If she is, where did she learn about it?
What did the winner of the pill bug race win?
Are you ever going to class up in the boot department?
Are you ever going to come to another you know what?
Other than these few questions, a great post with excellent pictures as usual. The downward pictures are great.

Hi Bob.

Let me answer your questions:

Kumo was on a return journey from The Great Outdoors. His “top hat” turned a lot of hipsters heads on South Congress, especially when my new steed gurgled to a stop in front of Joe’s coffee shop where he waved his regal paw out of the window in a somewhat dog-condescending manner.

No but I need to.

What do you think? I am quite proud of her progress, and I have no idea where she discovers such things…what? She did suggest that we should start the first family armpit band! I did consider the creativity of this proposal for at least couple of seconds.

The winner of the pill-bug race won life!

No, I love my Timberland boots, and I put boots through hell. Oh and they offer the support that I look for…ahem.

Yes on the “you know what”.

Thanks Bob.

ESP.

Aw, I remember holding roly-poly races ( a long, LONG time ago). Wow -those burgundy burners are quite the show stopper, though I’ll admit the deep red of that passion vine makes me a bit weak in the knees….

Quick question: I’d read somewhere to avoid Vitex due to their propagational proclivities. Are you having any trouble with unauthorized upstarts?

Hi TD.

The pill bugs provided at least half an hours worth of entertainment for my halflings…pretty good when I am trying to work (I am thankful for any distraction).

Red passion vines and burning burgundy cannas…two favorites of mine, can you tell?

I would not advocate avoiding Vitex, actually I would if you are not prepared to put some work into it, (shaping, pruning and general tweaking). I have not had any serious issues with unauthorized upstarts. My tree / large shrub has only had two siblings that were easily pulled and taken care of :-) It is a great tree for pulling in the insects and butterflies, well worth a bit of shaping effort in my opinion.

Thanks Cyndi…and yes, always plenty of drama in and around the Patch it seems…some of it good, some of it requiring a large amount of screaming!

Exceptional story! LOL.
So duct tape for the canna lilly – clever. Like the drama of the KT papyrus….well, all the drama found here.
