Seen along the side of the road

Revisited the place where I saw the wildflowers in this post.  Driving by, I thought the purple flowers were the same kind of asters as those near home.  Turns out that while it is an aster, it's blue wood aster, not New England aster.  

 

Discord, doubled

9/24/24:  In Le Monde, an article headlined "La suppression de l'aide medicale de l'Etat, leitmotiv de la droite et pomme de discorde".   That "pomme de discorde" was a new one to me, so I looked it up.  

9/25/24:  Filling time until the beginning of the 7:00 volleyball match, I turn the channel to Cartoon Network.  Within a minute, one character approaches another, carrying a golden apple bearing a K.  The other character demands, "What are you doing with the apple of discord?"  

Something like that happened once before, with the word "myrmidon".  I posted something about that in 2022.

Another Orb Spider

 

Rescued, but still fearful

One of the dozens of cats rescued from a hoarding situation and currently living at Tabby's Place.  A visitor lies on the floor near where they are hiding, seldom speaking, except for a few soft words which are meant to get them used to human company, and from there, perhaps they can be adopted.
