our ingénue in the car – a Lakers toboggan when it's 97 degrees?

All exquisite, pineapple pants included, but the Laker's hat "ingenue" gets the prize! Lovely, lovely, lovely.

Actually a Luna Moth! Gorgeous!

I think that is a Luna Moth. Helen and her neighborhood friend are big bugologists, and a luna moth is a very big deal!

Ha! Joanna beat me to it. I think that finding a luna moth on your doorstep bodes very well for your Hollywood projects. It is a sign!

Nice pants.

Great photos. LOL @ Lucy in a winter hat. The Luna moth is absolutely gorgeous, too, and certainly a good omen, as others have suggested.

Congrats on finding your pants, but, well, um, let's just say I'm happy not to have to see them at my house first thing in the morning. ;-)

Never let weather interfere with fashion, I always say, and evidently Lucy agrees with me!

Wow, you've gotten slim!

Lucy is beautiful.

That insect is evidence of survival of the fittest, with its camouflage...always cool to see. It reminds me of those green bugs that look just like leaves.

I've seen a Luna Moth once in Iowa. They are pretty rare, and no doubt becoming moreso.

RE: the Pineapple pants -- those are definitely the acme of go to hell pants.

Ian, your clothes-houndedness reminds me of my always nattily clad granddaddy Matt. He had pants and a sportscoat for seemingly every occasion--holly berries, madras, seersucker, great ties...

He'd have worn the hell out of some pineapple pants.

Love Lucy's 'toboggan' too (which refers to her hat for all of you'ns that don't know). In western NC, a sled is called a sled and a winter hat is called a toboggan.

Oh yeah, don't forget to hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.

Beau pantalons.

Daddo's pineapple pantapoons are precious! Very slimming...I need to get me some! :)

For the record, that hat was left in the car by Barnaby Q. Lakerfan, who stole the hat from his mom. And yeah, he probably left it in there three weeks ago when it was blood-freezingly cold.
