Mostly Wordless Wednesday: Barn, Mushrooms, and Dogs

47°f/8.3C, mostly clear. No rain in sight til the weekend.

This old barn is on my son's property. 






Wish I could remember the name of this wildflower.



Along my son's road.



And up by Sarah's cabin,  Larry spotted these mushrooms and thought they were Chicken of the Woods.  Unfortunately they were actually Jack-O-Lanterns, and are poisonous.



We went to the shelter yesterday and found a dog. Buddy is thrilled to have a playmate! His name was Mr. Pibb, but we are calling him Pip, which he seems to like. Pip is 6 months old and had been at the shelter since he was 2 months old,  so he has much to learn. Everything is scary and wonderful to him!

    Welcome to the new member of your family, Pip! He looks like he'll fit right in. Loved your pretty photos of fall colors.

    A new chapter and a new adventure!
    We released 14 rehabbed raccoons today. What a job.

    That old barn has a certain beauty to it, though it looks like it might fall at any moment. Wonderful to see Pip has joined your household!!!

    What a cute and sleek looking pup. Hope he's not a wanderer.

    That is a most wonderful dilapidating barn, and I am sure that young Pip is wonderful too.

    Pretty pictures of the barn, but it doesn’t look too safe. You’re in for some good times with a new puppy.

    That poor old bridge looks about to collapse. I like the red vine that seems to be growing right into the building.
    I'm sure glad you recognized the mushroom as poisonous!!
    And the puppy looks so cute 🐶🐶🐶

    Pip! Love the name, he will eventually come around and be so happy there. Ah, if that barn could talk, I would love to know its history.

    Oh, Sue, I'm so glad Pip has come into your lives. I'll bet Buddy is happy to have a playmate and will be a good teacher to him. That's a long while for a shelter. I hope he adjusts quickly!

    There is nothing like a new pet. Cat or dog. Enjoy!
