dandelion stems

Usually when I hear that phrase, "a couple-two-three," I cringe. But this morning, when the TV meteorologist (who says this regularly) said it during her weather forecast, I had to smile. Because this Wisconsin phrase was going to be the perfect title for my post today.
I really do just have a couple-two-three little things to say today.
First, there are definitely some benefits to walking our old Beau-doggy these days. He strolls so slowly, that I get plenty of time to look around me. This morning I couldn't stop looking at what was left of all the dandelions (in the top photo). We had some very powerful storms, with high winds and pounding rain, yesterday. The dandelion seed puffs are all gone now, leaving behind these gorgeous stems. They remind me of Edelweiss, the beautiful little Alpine flower. Do you see it?

I also have had plenty of time to look at our pile of firewood, and noticed some more log ends which I find incredibly beautiful. I love the different patterns of decay.
And the inside of the bark intrigues me as much as the outside these days, too.

And, did you know that tomorrow's full moon is known as the supermoon? That's because it will be closer to Earth than normal, and BIG. You can read more about it here and here, or just do an internet search.

And finally, I've figured out part of the problem regarding lost blog comments on this blog. With Blogger's new interface, some of the comments you leave here end up on my Blogger spam folder, and I haven't found out how to access them from the new Dashboard. I am only able to find them using the old Dashboard configuration. When I receive notification of a comment in an e-mail, I can click on "moderate comments" and then I'm able to see that there is something in my spam folder. I hope they fix this glitch soon.
So anyway, I hope everyone has a great weekend and has at least a couple-two-three wonderful things come your way.
