2. Nice car! NICE PICS!

Okay, quiz time. What are the fuzzy green things in picture 8?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. Thanks for your enthusiastic response, my dear Permanut!

I have no idea what the fuzzy green things are. I photographed them because they drew my eye!

9. Fuzzy green things they shall henceforth be called.

34. The fuzzy green things are body snatchers.

If you go to sleep near one, it will replace you.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

35. Body snatchers??? REALLY???

Good thing I didn't buy one!

[Lionel Mandrake]

41. Maybe you'd think my replacement was an improvement. n/t

7. Beautiful pics!

My Audi is now 10 years old and running great. You can pry it from my cold dead hands. It’s an A8 and they don’t have that engine any longer. It looks brand new still. But, I take good care of it!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. Congrats on your wonderful car! Very smart to take good care of it.

Mine's electric and pre-owned. It's a 2023 model, and I'm not sure what its name actually is.

This might be its name: 2023 e-tron Premium Plus quattro. It's a great car.

And I'm glad you enjoyed the photos.

10. Well WOW Howdy Audi! Beautiful automobile Peggy. With regard to No. 8 -- according to google images --

This plant is identified as Dianthus 'Green Trick' (also known as 'Green Ball' or 'Kiwi Mellow'), a unique variety of Sweet William. It is prized for its perfectly round, fuzzy, lime-green flower heads that resemble mossy pompoms. These are versatile plants used in both formal garden borders and modern floral arrangements, known for being long-lasting. They thrive in full sun to part shade and prefer consistent moisture but can tolerate some drought.

15. Thank you so much, my dear Allan! Glad you enjoyed my photos.

And I really appreciate your finding out about my photo #8! It's very interesting, learning about this fuzzy flower.

20. Many years ago white Audi in sloppy slushy snow on gravel road by my house........Iowa Caucus season!!

So many Shiny Happy People out in flyover country knocking on doors.

Health and Happiness CaliforniaPeggy

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. Thanks for your mysterious comments, my dear IA8IT!

Audis are great cars. Perfect for flyover country ahead of the Caucus!

I'm pretty happy these days, most of the time. The health is taking longer to appear, but I'll be OK eventually.

Thank you for your good wishes!

21. As usual, you have outdone yourself. The flowers are stunning,

and the vegetables are making me hungry. Actually, the asparagus is making me jealous! The only asparagus we get around here is barely bigger than a regular drinking straw! Very strange.

Your new car looks great. Are you feeling more comfortable with it now?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

24. Thank you so much for your always empathic and tender comments, my dear niyad . . .

I've seen (and eaten!) the tiny asparagus and it's yummy.

Thanks for your comments about my new car. Every day I feel more comfortable than the day before. Since I must have a car, and with the circumstances that brought me to get this one, I'm struggling with my own reaction to the whole situation. This period of my life has been tough. Hopefully the traumatic memories will fade as I get used to my new car. Then the road will get easier.

[niyad]

26. Vibes for your continued recovery and healing, Ms Peggy. Please take

good care of yourself.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

27. Thank you, my dear niyad. I'm doing my darndest. ...n/t

23. Beautiful pics and sweet ride, Miss Peggy!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

25. Aw, thank you so much for your lovely remarks, my dear Diamond_Dog!

Glad you enjoyed everything!

[MIButterfly]

28. Great pictures, CaliforniaPeggy!

I liked them all. Your new car looks very nice; I hope you have many happy years driving it. The flowers are pretty and the asparagus and snow peas (?) look delicious. It's hard to find produce that looks that good in the supermarket.

Thank you for sharing them with us!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

31. Thanks so much, my dear MIButterfly! I'm so glad you enjoyed them.

Our local farmers are proud to bring to market their organically grown produce! We enjoy it so much.

I hope to have many happy years in my Audi. It has a lot of complex technical computer stuff and hopefully I will learn enough of that to be able to have those happy years!

29. Omg

Such vivid colors. Thank you 😄

[CaliforniaPeggy]

32. Thank you, my dear SuzyandPuffpuff!

Colors draw me in to get the best photos I can possibly get!

30. Nice wheels! Cautionary tale:

Years ago, when my mom totalled her car, she lost her bumper stickers. Mom got a new green car and my sister drove her to a store to replace the stickers. It was back in the Bush era, so the bumper stickers were like "Bush lied, People died" and "Some Texas village is missing its idiot". Mom headed out to the street curb in front of my sister's house and started plastering her new bumper. My sister's neighbor wandered out, looking quizzically at my mom; Mom was mistakenly plastering HIS green car. The neighbor was nice and Mom apologized while peeling off the bumper decor. So, maybe, with a new, unfamiliar car, double check before applying bumper stickers!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

33. Omigod, what a great story, my dear Dear_Prudence! Love the ending.

I've pretty much stopped putting bumper stickers on my cars. We live in a very tolerant area, but my heart's not in it these days.

37. Thanks for the nice photos. Sharp new car.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

39. Ah, thank you so much, my dear Walleye! Still getting used to the car; it's bigger than my old one.

I bought it on the 7th, and so I'm new at driving it and figuring out all the different things it does!
