The "Pussy Toes" ground cover apparently seeds like milkweed and dandelions.
Someone left one on the coffee table, and a day later, it had delicately expenanded with a gossamer scaffolding around it.
I used to think my toes were cute but the older I get the weirder
they look. Maybe because I never look at them from this angle.
Just a bit more to color to chip off before I polish them again. LOL!

Um ... yeah, I call them toes, but they are really too dang SHORT to be considered toes, don't ya think ?!?
I don't know why--maybe it's the CP--but he has the curliest toes. It's hard to even see that second one.
where in the world did the expression "pigeon toed" come from? It's supposed to refer to people who walk with their toes pointing more inward, but as you can see looking at this guy, pigeons aren't pigeon toed! Well, they are, but not in that sense!
Expressions we use all the time can be interesting. Usually we don't really think about them, but when we do, some seem very strange.
In the 1990's I walked through Fredericksburg, Virginia. I went into The Rising Sun Tavern, which had been owned by George Washington's family. There I learned about an interesting expression most Americans have used and have no idea about, "Mind your P's and Q's". In the 1700's, taverns attracted travelers who stayed upstairs, and spent most of the evening downstairs in the bar, guzzling their ale and beer. The men would get quite rowdy by the end of the evening, so the barkeep would lock himself in a cage where they couldn't get to him, and would say, "Gentlemen, please mind your P's and Q's!" Basically, that meant he was done serving, and they should finish their pints and quarts, and go home, or go upstairs to bed! Of course, the men weren't always too happy about being cut off, hence the reason for the barkeep's cage! I found that one to be a very interesting piece of trivia!
My feathered friend here was a very good poser, pigeon toed or not!
