Day Two Hundred Seventy Seven 2010

Gnarly

Found this most gnarly pumpkin at Wal-Mart today, so of course I had to have it. And of course I had to take its picture with my cell camera in the Solaris color setting (which seems to make everything a little gnarlier). Wonder if it would make a good Jack O Lantern? Stay tuned.

Day Two Hundred Seventy Five 2010

Read Rock Relax--Saturday Rules!

So this is how I spent my Saturday afternoon--in my favorite wicker rocker on my front porch with my feet propped up, reading a novel on my Kindle. October rocks and rolls and I'm loving this sunshine and cool breezes and can't bear the thought of staying inside on a day like today. Even if the Tennessee Vols are (were) beating LSU (and then shot themselves in the foot with a stupid technicality at the last second, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. This is why reading a book is way more relaxing than watching a football game.)

Day Two Hundred Seventy Four 2010

OCTOBER!

October has always been and will forever be my favorite month of the year. Sunshine in my face, a deep blue sky I could swim in, a cool breeze blowing, temperature in the low seventies. Plus, it's TGIF! It doesn't get any better than this. I snapped this sunshine picture with my cell camera in the Solaris color setting. Welcome, October! Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

Day Two Hundred Seventy Three 2010

Riding The Rails

Grand kids Elijah and Shelby checked out a vintage piece of L&N railroad history at the depot this afternoon.

I think they were impressed by its size. Pretty cool. Did people who had to travel long distances this way think it was fun way back then? I'm sure these two would have been asking, Are we there yet?
