Ever Lovin October

Beautiful Saturday in October! I hope you enjoyed the day as much as I did.

Day Two Hundred Eighty Eight 2010

Can You Hear Me Now?

Hubby Neil and I took advantage of early voting today in this mid-term election. Some of the items on our ballot are state reps, a new governor, the right to hunt and fish (in Tennessee, are you kidding me?!) and whether or not to allow liquor to be sold in package stores here in our hilly little town. It's all important and it begs a response from everyone old enough to vote. Mine is only one voice, but I'm not the only one pushing that red button. Happy TGIF, everyone!

Day Two Hundred Eighty Seven 2010

"I cannot endure to waste anything as precious as autumn sunshine by staying in the house. So I spend almost all the daylight hours in the open air." ~~Nathaniel Hawthorne

Picture Postcards (In Solaris) From 'The 'Side' (Mom's Place)

Family gatherings for lunch at my mom's place is always fun. We did manage to go outside to soak up some of that brilliant autumn sunshine and enjoy the roses still blooming in the garden and say hello to their resident kitty. We call him 'Persian', but Elijah calls him 'Butter'. We ended up at Jane's house to watch 'A Hard Day's Night' and eat candy corn. Not too shabby, eh? Good time autumn days.

"Bittersweet October. The mellow, messy, leaf-kicking, perfect pause between the opposing miseries of summer and winter." ~~Carol Bishop Hipps
