Hangers-On, for Outdoor Wednesday

It is absolutely Fall, as the entry to our sunroom reminds us every time we return to That Old House!


But some things don't know when to quit.

It's been dropping into the lower 30s some nights around here,
and still some of our summer stalwarts just keep on keepin' on.

Like the hibiscus on the patio:

And some of the gazania in the shriveling border:

And of course, the wax begonias.

Are they amazing?

You know who else doesn't know when to quit?

Mr. Dion DiPoochy, who has found something
interesting under those bloomin' begonias!

Let's just stick our dopey old dog head even deeper into unknown territory

and see what's lurking underneath the begonias.

This is how Mr. Dion ends up in so much trouble.

But not this time. Mean ol' Mama is hauling him away.

The memory of that whopping weekend vet bill from a dietary indiscretion on
Dion's part prompts me to choose to not let him explore the unknown any more!

After all, it's still some days till Trick Or Treat time.
