Rebecca will have Ella Mae's Barn Gathering open, too...

and they have several barns!

of course I get first dibs...but you all can fight over what I don't bring home...

take your truck to haul it all home in...

Amid the shadows...

if you have never tried taking photos in the dark...

grab your camera and go outside...

gazing ball...ahem...bowling ball in its past life...

I got so tired of the others breaking...kids...mower...wind...

so I bought 2 bowling balls at a rummage sale...

$1 each and my friend painted them a metallic bronze...indestructible...

you will need to practice on how far back to stand...if the flash doesn't reach it...it won't be in the shot...

they are turning pink...these in bloom are great in the after dark shots...

always on duty...

this is cool...caught in the act of making a web...a master weaver...

I wonder if she knows Charlotte?...

munches are eating the leaves...

give it a try...you never know what lurks in the dark...

the cats get more use out of our chairs than we do...

this is how he lays on top of me when I'm sleeping...

one paw and each side of my head and his nose in my ear...

 

we have been invaded...

they were so small when we got them...

but now we are outnumbered...

good thing they like us...

they have to...

they haven't learn to open their own food and can't turn the faucets on...yet...

my eye opener this morning...

I had to start with the printer...which I can do asleep...

and I had to start right off with the chopping...which is scary...

to make the tags for the hang tags...and I still have all my fingers and toes...

then I bagged these...only did 2 cause that's how many albums I had laying around...

and before I got wild with the glue stick...

I tied on the eyelash yarn to make leaves for the sucker flowers for the gift pots...

eye lash yarn and glue sticks do not mix well...trust me...

I don't have photos of that...I was kind of stuck to my work...

got the visual ?...good...

really didn't need the photo after all...

then came out the glue stick...and I glued the labels on the tags...

then I stuck them in the bags...2 of them back to back...

and stapled the tag on...

so simple even a caveman could do it...

yeah... I couldn't resist...sorry...

tada...the finished product ready to sell...

bagged to wait...it feels good to be ahead of the game...

doesn't happen often...

so what was your eye opener this morning?...

another photo album cover...

this one is for Halloween...

the dawn came this morning with no gold and no shadows...

the clouds are hanging...

the clover is blooming...

and the birds still sing...

In the middle of the night...

I create...

when the thunder rolls...the natives get restless...

on top of me...

and the dog tried to tunnel under...

makes it a long night...

I'm going to try it once again...

everything has calmed down...

wish me luck...
