cloudy day cruisin'...

another building on Main Street...

a friend of ours runs this now...

it housed the newspaper years ago...

then sat empty for a number of years...

not sure what all has been in here from 1910...

a project to do, for sure...

and the next building to it...

all the old awning hardware is still on most of the buildings...

we have old photos of the awnings up and of them down...

the cold front did go through and cool us off...

got down to 58 last night...

had to find a sweater this morning...

these are all up and down the streets around the school...

this one is on the street that runs beside the football field...

there is one for every guy on the team...

its almost time for football to start...

and fall harvest will be right behind it...

I thought it was fitting to show both in one shot...

it was another day of clouds...

awesome clouds...

do you know what that means?

the ears drop when they are ready to pick...

all they have to do is wait for it to all dry out...

its coming soon...

you might want to dig out the fall stuff...

doing brunch here right now...

got feeders to do again and one a little sickly on me..

hand feeding her...

I have a goal of doing just a tiny bit more every day...

without flaring...

the farmers around here will be hauling in on Labor Day...

heard our town elevator is offing half off on drying...

and there will be a few who take them up on it...

I need to get moving here...

have good days where ever you are...

find something good in what you see and do...

give a smile to everyone you meet...

someone just might be having a bad day and need one...

;0)

back later...

been trying to catch up after taking a day off and then taking a sick day...

and here it is the middle of the week already...

didn't have to do this today...

we finally got some rain...

just a third of an inch last night...

but there's a 50% chance tonight again...

the corn is drying out in the fields now...

and there's that rustling sound happening...

the fall flowers are starting to happen...

I have been having a hard time finding the pretty in things the last few weeks...

I just wasn't seeing it like I usually do...

so I prayed for it back...

and grabbed my camera and out I went...

its been here all along...

I just didn't see it...

got leaves down already...

I like sedum... 

need to thin this out and spread it around more...

this knock out is getting its tail feathers cut way back this fall...

it has not produced very well this year...

this is what we did with the bricks we hauled home...

we will let this settle through the winter...

then pull them up and put sand under them in the spring...

we had 70s today...

a nice break from the hot...

had a coyote walk right through the middle of the yard just before noon today...

I was over here picking tomatoes...

Craig walked around the back of the house...

and there it was...

a great big one...

went into the corn field...

those are green bean blooms...

I am not where I was a year ago...

I have lost some ground...

planting hoes...

I will let you know when I put the hardware store out of business...

these are the kind of clouds we have had today...

so going to be working on me more...

if there are not a lot of posts sometimes...

just know I need the time to do what I need to...

to get back going again...

so I feel better...

and can do more...

;0)

Happy Birthday to me!

I am sharing some more of the photos that I took on Saturday of a place here in town...

trumpet vine and wisteria hang from the pergola...

it is a most fun place to see...

the potting shed/ fun house was the old garage...

and its been cleverly transformed into such a fantastic place to relax...

and they bought this house next to their property and are in the process of transforming it into a B&B...

the pole barn is coming down and being moved to the golf course...

that will open up the views from the B&B to the B&B...

I will most definitely keep you posted on the upgrades as they occur...

this is the same couple who have the store up  town with the fancy fun window displays...

so much talent and we all get to enjoy their works in progress...

I am doing what I want to do today...

just hanging out and playing on the computer...

need to find something to eat here soon and then taking a nap...

have a good day!

(OH, I asked for paint for my birthday....;0) )

going to finally get the kitchen make over started again...

couldn't do it with all the babies here...

;0)

Have a fun day!

yesterday's photo shoot...

for the last several months, I have been posting my photos of our area on a facebook page...

and a couple here in town asked me to shoot their potting shed...

so, here are the photos...

this was an old garage that they have wonderfully created into a gathering place for friends and family...

it is filled and surrounded with the most fun things...

I just took shot after shot after shot...

its is most certainly a place I could hang out in...

the doors are on sliders...

and they completely open up the space inside when they are open...

it so welcoming...

warm, cozy and well planned out...

hoping to get some bricks laid today...

but not sure when or if the rain is coming...

the guys sleep in on the weekends and here I am...

up for hours already...

hope your Sunday is a peaceful one...
