While walking along in Fincastle the other day, this little dog started barking at us and I stopped to take his picture, at the same time his owner came to the door (probably to hush him) and then he turned his cute little head to look at her and I had to pretend like I hadn't just taken a picture of her house haha...
Look at the eyes on the tree. I'm not going to lie, I think they are creepy and don't know why people ruin a perfectly good tree by putting those hideous eyes on them! Poor tree is probably embarrassed!
Taking the boys to see Monster Jam tonight. Christian won 2 tickets at school and then Braden and Dalton were invited to go with a few of their friends. I said sure, thinking this all worked out perfectly until I realized the day Braden and Dalton were invited was for Saturday, right during their basketball game. So I had to tell them no but bought tickets to take them tonight with Christian. They were really upset since they really wanted to go with their friends but sports obligations come first. I think they'll get over it by the time the show starts, I hope!
Linking with Friday Fences! Have a super weekend...last I looked, the weather peeps were saying there was a possibility of 2-5 inches of snow Friday night/Saturday morning...gosh, I hope not!
This post made me smile...the dog looking at the woman at the door while you were pretending not to take a picture, the creepy eyes on the tree and remembering those monster truck shows that my boys loved so much and how sports had to be a priority. Love it! Hope you escape the snow. We have had a very mild winter here in WA state, but very gray and dreary. I can't wait for spring! xx
ReplyDeletehaha! The things we do for photos! I like the fence. It's not the usual kind you see around a home. The tree eyes are cool!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog via the BNB party.
ReplyDeleteI'm your latest follower!
Oh have fun at monster jam Tanya. Eyes are creepy:) :) oops more eyes. B
ReplyDeleteSneaky you!
ReplyDeleteAnd I have to admit we have those "eyes" on several of our trees thanks to the husband. I don't really like them either, but what can you do? :)
Love the dogs, hate the eyes...I'm with you...it's got to be humiliating for the tree.
ReplyDeleteDitto to the above. Why desecarate a lovely tree. Nice fence though.
ReplyDeletemonster jam sounds cool. At least they didnt put a big nose on the tree.
ReplyDeleteHaha so cute! I don't know about the eyes on the tree. Kind of creepy! Hope the snow misses you guys!
ReplyDeletethankful i have yet to have a moment like that. that would be so embarrassing indeed. talk about red faced moments. ha. ha!!! have a great weekend. enjoy your quiet time. ( :
ReplyDeleteHa! I get more creeped-out by the lips that I sometimes see on trees: "The better to eat you with, my dear!" Yeesh!! Enjoy your weekend!!
ReplyDeleteSometimes we do have to be a little sneaky when getting that perfect shot. It is so hard to schedule activities with kids these days...there is always so much going on.
ReplyDeleteWhoa, monster jam, you better take some ear plugs.
ReplyDeleteEyes on trees, hmmm. I had an art teacher who tied ropes around trees and took photos, called it his tree bondage series, he was a strange person but I learned a lot about photography.
i like the fence and the pup. :) we have one guy in the 'neighborhood' about 2 miles down the road that keeps the eyes and mouth on a tree.
ReplyDeleteI've seen a few trees adorned with similar eyes/nose/even mouth and pondered what the heck was the owner thinking - except the one at the beach and I'm pretty sure that one had ties to a few too many adult beverages on the beach, perhaps with a twist of lime.
ReplyDeleteSend the snow our way. We're not expecting more than a half-inch or so.
ReplyDeleteOh, sweet little pup! We've a tree around here and it's got the nose + lips too, eek! They're kinda funny but, I agree!, kinda creepy. Hope you guys get a nice wkd break:) (Oh, I loved your comment about the baby belle cheese, made me crave some myself yesterday, haha)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful dog! Terrific pic! I hear you about that tree. I can't imagine that those eyes do much for the tree's self-esteem.
ReplyDeleteEwwww...those eyes are pretty creepy! Hope the snow holds off.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great 'undercover' shot, have a good weekend!
ReplyDeletei have to agree about the eyes, creepy... and ruins a good tree! =0
ReplyDeleteLittle dog???? That looks like a 'big' dog to me :). More snow for you. Oh boy. That means we have more coming our way...ha ha! Your photo is just wonderful. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI agree. Those eyes are dorky. The kids will survive the change of plans. Learning about responsibility to the team is a good lesson for them.
ReplyDeleteThose eyes are creepy!
ReplyDeleteI think the eyes are funny.
ReplyDeleteThe eyes would scare me more than the barking dog! So do you have snow?
ReplyDeleteHehehe, love the eyes on the tree, so cool....
ReplyDeleteThe tree looks like it stepped out of The Lord of the Rings! I hate when people catch me taking a photo. It's always so awkward.
ReplyDeleteNeat picture! Cute dog.
