Day One Hundred Forty Five

Berry Pickin' (And Eatin') Time!

Our Mulberry tree in the back yard has once again sprouted a bumper crop of berries, already ripe for the picking.

Grand son Elijah and grand daughter Shelby love picking the berries off the tree. Their mom (daughter Holly) did, too, when she was about Shelby's age.

Shelby is tall enough this year to easily reach the berries.

Elijah can reach some of the lower ones, but I pull the branch down so he can get to them and pick his own. He only wants the black/deep purple ones. No reddish ones, please. They're still too tart.

Enjoying the harvest! They even picked some to share with their mom and dad. Then it was off to wash up and brush their teeth. The berries will be around for about a month. One of these days, I'm going to have to try to make a Mulberry pie. Yum!

Goodbye, Jack

'24' ended its 8 year run tonight and what a ride it was! Neil and I may as well sell the TV. There is nothing left to watch. I miss you already, Jack.

Day One Hundred Forty Three

Blast From The Past

Here's grandson Elijah back in 2007--three years ago yesterday. Since I didn't take any photos today, I thought I'd share a blast from the past with you. They usually end up being Elijah. But that's okay. He's way cute, no matter what year.

And so long to one of the best shows ever on TV--'LOST' ends its six year run tonight. Hate to see it go. If you haven't seen it, watch the whole thing on DVD this summer. You won't regret it!

Day One Hundred Forty Two

I just love day lilies! They're the prettiest thing in our yard right now.

T.G.I.F. At The Nashville Flea Market

That's the great thing about the flea market--you can wear just any old thing and nobody cares. Red heels, green bag, sequined gown. Let's go junkin!

These cast iron mermaids were my favorite thing I saw all afternoon. There was a fourth one sitting all by herself in a chair. Wouldn't they look great perched on the side of a swimming pool? Well, maybe.

Lots of vintage trunks to be had at the flea market. This was a nice one--if you like pink. It was probably bright red in another life.

Flood damage at the Nashville Fairgrounds. A vendor who happens to be from Cookeville told us the Nolensville Road entrance to the fairgrounds was under twenty feet of water during the worst of the flooding which buckled the pavement, tore down fences, and made a huge mess.

We enjoyed our traditional dinner at Olive Garden in Mt. Juliet with daughter Kelly. Yum!

Homeward bound on I-40. We were blessed with such an unexpectedly beautiful day! Happy T.G.I.F., everyone! Have a great weekend!
