Doggie Doorbell

This is our back door. (Ahem.) We’ve always had dogs (Labrador Retrievers and some mixed breed rescues) and over the years a few of them figured out how to let us know they were ready to come back inside: they scratched the door. Scratched it right down to the metal that started to rust. Dogs are quick to pick up habits that favor them and this one did. They scratched, I opened the door. Who says I’m not trainable?

Thursday is for doors over at Norm 2.0. (The doors I usually post are a lot cleaner than this one. Oh, well.)

Pumpkin Pine Cone

Artists are interesting, aren’t they? Someone thought of creating a pine cone in a pumpkin shape. Or a pumpkin with a pine cone shell.

I borrowed this Pumpkin Pine Cone from Pat. (Fortunately for me, she lets me borrow a lot of objects to photograph. The two small pine cones are mine.) When I looked at the image on the computer screen, I noticed I didn’t quite get all of it in focus. Oh, well, better luck next time; I’ve already given the Pumpkin Pine Cone back to Pat.
