Fog...it's what's for dinner. And Breakfast. And Lunch.

The lovely fog that shrouds this town each July cannot discourage Mr. Cat A. Pillar, an industrious worker who spent all day working his way up the corporate ladder...only to find out...it's lonely at the top:
This fog that keeps mere mortals hunkered inside sipping hot soup while elsewhere, there are people basking in sunny backyards, cannot keep Ms Spi D. Er from knitting fantastic webs across my cactus leaves:
This fog that makes trees weep their tears of summers lost upon your clothes as you studiously mow the wet lawn cannot keep Mr and Mrs Spare Oh from hanging out on a wire for a bit of peace away from their squawking brood:

This damn fog that makes weeding a disgusting, wet, soggy nightmare cannot keep things like tiny ass peas from growing in my yard:
I mean, what the hell? Can I even eat these?
This thick, wet, white wall of visibility reducing cotton cannot keep the leaves from gathering their daily drink:
This selfish, constantly spreading, hellbent on ruining everyone's day fog cannot keep the delicate dandelion from blooming:

This "doesn't know when to leave" guest that we call fog cannot discourage the lovely daisy from opening its petals in the pathetic hope that today will be day the sun shines again:

This fog from the devil's own lair of hell cannot discourage the garden bugs from getting it on:

This MOTHER F'ing Fog that won't give anyone a glimmer of the possibility of some summer warmth cannot keep the pansy from parading it's colors:
THIS THING THAT HOLDS US IN ITS COLD, DEATHLESS GRASP OF SMOKE AND ICE CANNOT KEEP THE CACTUS PLANT FROM SUDDENLY SPROUTING SOME BIZARRE LOOKING THING:
Will this bloom? Does it need sun to do that?
and then there are some creatures who aren't bothered by the fog at all:

after all, it's easier to sneak up and kill things if you are shrouded in fog, right?

Bitter, much? "Tears of summers lost". Very poetic.

By the way, this is totally NSFW. I open it up and see hot bug action.
