Grandson Elijah and his first grade class visited a nearby pumpkin patch last week. This is the pumpkin he picked. He decorated it at school and brought it home today.1029021512a
It’s a pretty cool pumpkin. I especially like the mustache. Nice touch, Elijah.

Day Three Hundred One 2012

"Winter is cold-hearted.
Spring is yea and nay,
Autumn is a weather-cock,
Blown every way.
Summer days for me.
When every leaf is on its tree."
- Christina Rossetti

Day Three Hundred 2012

Flea Market
1026021116
Here’s one for Mom and Jane.
1026021118b
Can’t escape politics. Even at the flea market.
1026021124
Neil bought this thing. It is creepy. I don’t know what he plans to do with it.
1026021145
Santas were all over the place today.

This was probably the strangest thing I saw all day. He must be so embarrassed.

This looked like a cross between ‘Jaws’ and the spider in Stephen King’s ‘It’. It was made out of dried gourds.
1026021305
Just so you know…..
1026021323
Now!
1026021335b
I imagine this hanging in some church on the Gulf Coast.
1026021513
After the flea market, we dropped in to visit grandson Knox and daughter Kelly.
1026021749
If you received a call from Neil’s cell phone this afternoon, this is why.

Knox got a kick out of listening to Grandpa’s cell phone ring tones which kept him distracted while his mom shoveled food into his mouth. We enjoyed our visit as always. Good time Friday.
Happy TGIF!

Day Two Hundred Ninety Nine 2012

I love the leaves
IMG_6919
I do not know why.
IMG_6986
Is it their colors or how they fly?
IMG_6969
They crunch and crinkle under my feet.
IMG_6976
I pile them up
IMG_6936
and take a leap!
