Stopping to smell the flowers

All is quiet on the road to the pig farm Saturday morning. 
The dog and I walked down to the pig farm on Saturday morning.  The temperature on Saturday morning was in the low 70's and very comfortable.  The sky was cloudy but a front was passing through so clear weather was inevitable.  I am not sure why the Iphone causes photos of cloudy skies and trees to appear like something from a dream but I do like the effect.  I believe it is the HDR setting I am using that is causing that.  As we walked along I saw a honeysuckle vine poking out into the road from the bushes.
Wonderful smell but aggressive
I walked over to take a look at the flowers and smell of the pleasant scent they produce.  These white ones are not native to this area.  Our native honeysuckle is red or orange and will not move too far from where it is planted.  The white honeysuckle will cover a wide area in just one spring and summer and will pickup where it left off when winter is over.  We arrived at the farm and lingered for a moment and turned to head home.
I never know what he will bring home.
The dog found a very large stick in the woods which he grabbed and ran down the road with.
My dog is a big collector of "things".  I have been stacking his "things" next to his house and the pile is getting very large again.
The collection is growing again. 
  I will have to get the wheel barrow out and move the stuff back to the pile in the back yard soon.  It baffles me why the dog collects like this. I have tried to make a connection with what his wild cousins may have done but I can't seem to decipher any similarities.  If anyone out there has an answer let me know.  Thanks for reading my blog today.  Bye.
