Back Yard...

This is the back yard of the mountain office....
the color is starting to creep in...
Mid-October should be the peak..
then it's all down a snowy hill from there into Winter..

Hummm...??


Hummmm..
I'm sitting here listening to the news about the major soda companies reducing the amount of calories and sugar they will be putting in their products...
Is this really for the betterment of our health or because their sales have dropped 46%?  Plus the fact that bottled water/health drinks sales have increased...
Hummmmm...
I'd say...$$$$$$..!!

Grits.....

My fur babies like Grits...
Strange dogs..
Every morning it's a whine fest until i finish and they can lick the bowl..
Wonder what they would do if each had their own bowl of grits...?

Helper...

Lula Belle...
She spent all day helping the Dillard Brother's in a supervisor way..
she rushed from area to area making sure the mowing lines were straight and that the new rock was placed just so......
I think she was really chasing the little critters that ran out of the field..
But
She may have been a little helper
(Shrug shoulders here)

The Dillard Brothers!!

Did I tell You...

...this is what it looks like outside right now..?

Did I tell you that the grocery store CityBoy works at closed it's door for the last time this past Saturday?
Did I tell you we spent the hours of 12:30am - 3:00am in the ER Thursday morning...?
Seems in closing and packing up the store CityBoy pinched a nerve in the space between your shoulders and lost the use of his right arm...?
Did I tell you we spent 3 hours yesterday....going from pharmacy to pharmacy trying to find the Rx for CityBoys shoulder....?......we finally found it at a CVS in Boone....
Did I tell you I called into work yesterday...sooo...that we could find his Rx and then came home and took a 3 hour nap....?
Did I tell you it's been a fun...fun...fun .... 48 hours up here in my little world...?
Did I tell you....i'm beginning to feel like "Annie"....
Tomorrow....tomorrow.....there's always tomorrow.....!

Those girls are soooooo talented..!
This quilt is metal with a laminate finish..I supplied the photos...the girls designed it and sent it away for processing...

It is so life-like that when Max first saw it, he growled at it for over an hour...
Silly Boy...!
