Craig's visit with Tia this evening...

this is as country as it gets...
Tia lives out of town a few miles from us...
and the same railroad that passes by us, passes by her grandparents' home also...
he told me he wanted to take the camera with him this time...
the get photos of the roadside...
and the rails out there...
they found a little prince...
it's amazing how big these bolts are...
and how appropriate to find the resurrection lilies...
just after Christmas in July...
God's little reminder that he started the fad first...
The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to an opponent, tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to your child, a good example; to a father, deference; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself, respect; to all men, charity.
 -Arthur Balfour

today's projects...


3 brushes make fast work...
first coat being applied...
it needs to cure 24 hours and hit it again...
it's going to take 3-4 coats...
before...
tomato...
and after...
we wired tomato cages upside down onto the chairs so that the tomatoes will have more room to climb...
and in the nick of time, too...
pleasant evening to all...

It's a happy, happy day...

Mr Wiggles loves everything...
the life they lead...
it got down in the 60s last night...
there is some humidity...
but not like it has been...
I used to have so many of these...
but this is all that's left...
Resurrection lilies...
my brown eyed susans are back!...
I thought they died out in the flood 2 years ago...
yeah!...
the free tomatoes at the end of the selling season are doing great...
and the ice cream chairs are working out fine...
morning glories are blooming on the edge of the field...
and here is our first visitor of the day...
and dark tortie...
pretty baby...
then on to dead head the roses...
can you see the two different colors on this one?...
from the northern line...
and our second visitor...
Chrissy...
fresh from getting her hair done...
she had to have surgery on her hind leg about 10 days ago and she is still limping a little...
and back home again...
jiggidy jig...
have a spunky Monday!...

A man ought to live so that everybody knows he is a Christian... and most of all, his family ought to know.

Doug's nightly walk in the moonlight...

yeah, his momma taught him that...
