Such a sweet cuddly scene!
4-degrees in Canadian degrees is almost 40 American degrees. So we're lookin' at 4 to 5 Canadian degrees every night this coming week here in Utah -- which is above freezing so
YAY!
There seems to be quite a bit of grown-up and pretty Susie Derkins fan art online. Just type in Susie Derkins grown up.
One example:

Brrr. I'd have thought it would be warmer there. Y'all ARE farther south...
Not sure how I feel about the C&H fan art. I wonder what Bill Watterson thinks? I know there was a notable thing about Calvin growing up. I haven't looked at much of it.

There's always "fan art" of pretty much any character or entertainment franchise. Probably even more now with AI creating images with a few keystrokes. No talent required.
I'm surprised that people are still generating C&H fan art. I mean, it's been gone for
thirty years now.
Your photos are certainly colorful. The eyes on that little mini are spectacular, both in color and in ekspression. She's intense.

Onyx is really pretty. Her eyes matched the flowers nicely.
Early for pic-a-week this week; more quick snapshots out back. Catherine's turn this week.

Late this week for pic-a-week, again.
I
shot them this week. It counts.
It was cloudy, not very bright, and I should have used a tripod.

Lots of daisies on the way last week. Are they all in full bloom now?
Cute pink 'n' white color scheme this week.

Yes they are. I left some patches in the backyard, but was sad to mow down pretty much everything in the front yard. I used to do creative mowing out there, but, the fewer flowers in the yard, the fewer targets for the horde
...
Very late this week, after a round of computer glitches (thanks for the update I didn't ask for, Microsoft?) and a brain glitch (ugh, life). More photos to come but I'm done for tonight.
This is probably the biggest mushroom I've ever seen out back. There were several, but this was the biggest.

That is an impressive mushroom. It looks like a fat pancake or a flying saucer! The fairies must have been working their magic!
Did you catch any of the Tall Ship parade on television? The broadcast network coverage was terrible, but I found a halfway decent website that tells a bit about each ship.

I'm looking forward to the Five Sisters Cup race on the 9th.
