The Magnificent Magnolia

Purty, aren't they?


We've somehow never discovered this until now.  I think it's because all of the magnolias are blooming, rather than just bare branches like everything has been for so long.


Must investigate.  Magnolia Tribute Garden - lovely.


Lovelier.  Just needed a little Airedale-ing up.


Apparently George Washington was an aficionado of the magnolia.  The more you know...

Ok, enough of that learning stuff.  I HAVE TO POOP...

Love,

Soda and Surgery

Did YOU know that Lutraphobia is the fear of otters? Well, I sure didn't. Glad I passed this sign today.

And of course this... the home of Dr. Philip Syng Physick, the Father of American Surgery AND America's First Soda. Wowza. Surgery AND soda. That Dr. Physick was a BUSY guy.

I am inspired to perform some surgery of my own - on these sticks. And then I may get thirsty. But first I have to wrestle them away from mama who thinks she's helping me by carrying them but in reality is just annoying me. Allow me to demonstrate. First a good pull...

Then slowly lay down on the sidewalk - preferably where lots of people are walking - while still maintaining a Dale Death Grip on the sticks.

Distract your mama by turning your head adorably to the side, so that she has to acknowledge the people walking by and saying how cute you are. This buys you time. And time is sticks, my friend.

For the final bit, face your mama and SMILE BIG. She will release the sticks while laughing and then the surgery can commence in earnest.

Love,

Bogart

High Society... Hill

Da-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-Batman!

We took an evening stroll around South Street, this is near the Magic Gardens...

Rather than always walk down the same streets, mama and I enjoy taking little detours and seeing as much as we can. Tonight we saw these two frisky characters:

And "A Man Full of Trouble". Mama says she needs one of these (perhaps without the parrot, though).

Venturing through the Society Hill area, we found this cool shop sign...

In my eternal quest for new greenery.

Hey - over there - I see a park I haven't peed in yet!

Ah... grass. Being a big city boy, I can really appreciate even the smallest patch of grass. It's nice and cool on my toes, and feels even better when I get to lay on it for a bit.

Lots of statues around, posing magnificently. I too can pose magnificently.

Ready to go! Must explore!

Love,
