for today

for today

outside my window... 64F/cloudy/scattered rain showers @ 12:40am

i am thinking... the songbirds are gone :( the mornings are so quiet

i am thankful for... the last warm, end of summer days

i am wearing... denim jeans, white T shirt, Born sandals

i am going... shopping for Certo!

i am currently reading... 

"dip it!"

~ Rick Rodgers~

i am hoping... it stops raining!

the North Fork Dam failed, the creek overflowed it's banks

into the pasture, and stopped just short of the barn *whew*

on my mind... gas @ $3.57/gallon, milk @ 3.99/gallon, butter @ $2.49/lb

pondering these words...

"when the goldenrod is yellow. and leaves are turning brown -

reluctantly the summer goes in a cloud of thistledown.

when the squirrels are harvesting and birds in flight appear -

by these autumn signs we know September days are here."

~ Beverly Ashour, September ~

from the kitchen...

green beans, with ham & potatoes

fried green tomatoes, with southern comeback sauce

BBQ ribs

around the house... chinese lanterns

one of my favorite things...  elderberries

i'm creating...  the September Challenges @ The Lilypad

a few plans for the week... grocery shopping, laundry, yardwork

from my lens:

* North Fork Dam FAIL *

creek flooded the pasture
