63f this morning, cloudy. Looked like rain all day, finally started showering about 5pm.
I haven't been doing a thing worth writing about this week, just a town trip, making a little cider, the usual cooking and cleaning and getting ready for visits from granddaughters tomorrow and next week. So I went back through my photos to see what I had not yet posted.
I will link to Tom's Signs2 tomorrow, because I think this sign is just too funny. I saw this at the festival Saturday.
The weather, while too dry for my liking, has been perfect for the farmers putting up hay.
Spotted on our winding drive home Saturday.
This might seem humdrum to most of you, but Catholics are scarce in our area. Probably more of them in this cemetery than in a two-county region! Well, I am joking but I might not be far wrong. I am not sure why this is, but it surprised me when I moved here all those years ago.
A foggy morning a couple weeks ago.
Just a garden shot, with Buddy the Photobomber.
Sun through one of my favorite paperweights.
Our young neighbor Gerald is having this new fence put up. I told Larry I think Gerald is trying to gentrification this wild ridge! Seriously, it does look nice. We used to own this 50 acres where the fence is located but sold it to finance drilling our 723foot deep well.
The very busy Charleston, WV Airport. Actually it did get pretty busy a few minutes after I took this photo.
I liked the look of the sun on the roadside grasses.
I believe these are
False Solomon Seal berries. Growing along our road. The berries are edible but can be bitter.
Sneezeweed (
Helenium autumnale) also growing along our road, looks very much like miniature Black-eyed Susans from a distance.
Time to get ready to go out to dinner with my son and a bevy of granddaughters, so I will sign off for now.

I think many farmers here have had a hard time with haymaking this year, lots of showery weather at just the wrong times. The wheat harvest was also affected. I hope you had a good meal with all the family.
ReplyDeleteQuite a potpourri - and I love that paperweight. Enjoy your family time :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, that sign... that´s what I really have to do, or I cough my head off...
Enjoy!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope that you had a great time with your son and his family. Buddy was for sure having a fun time!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful random news post. Have a great time with your son and granddaughters.
ReplyDeleteI love that photo of the fog through your window.
ReplyDeleteSneezeweed? That is a new one to me! You week was much like mine, not a lot to write about but your pictures guided you through.
