A Fall Walk






A hike to the base of Fall Creek Falls.
The hike back up isn't so bad, don't let anyone tell you it's not worth it.
Glad we didn't listen.

Beauty


Beauty is life when life unveils her holy face.
But you are life and you are the veil.
Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.
But you are eternity and you are the mirror.

Rainy Day

It's been soggy the past few days.  The sunshine is starting to come out.  I reckon it's gonna get humid.   *giggles*
So, I'm sitting here thinking about Huckleberry Finn and what I'm going to do when the lil man starts school this fall.  I've been asked a few times. 

Never really thought hard about it. 

First, I am going to become a woman of leisure.  I'm going to paint a bit, maybe a lot.  Paint upstairs, downstairs.  Outside on the ground. Paint inside and every wall.  Paint flowers, paint trees, paint whatever I please.  : )
I'll read. : )
I'll garden, expand it and take out the yard. : )
I'll go for long walks in peace. : )
I'll take a nap under the big Oak tree for everyone to see. : )
Maybe I'll write a book or draw one.  : )
I'll figure out where the wind is blowing me.  : )

Second, I'll. . . well, that's thinking too far ahead.  Meaningful work would be the obvious direction.  

Let me sit in this place right here.  I reckon, with all that painting and strolling, I'll come up with some mighty fine ideas.  Yep, I think that suits me just fine.

Wonderin

Just wonderin if I'm ever gonna take a hike this summer or if I'm just gonna sit and stare at our garden all summer.
Maybe I should go on a hike.  Hmmmmm. . .  Brandy has off tomorrow. . .  A nice long, shady, stroll through the woods.   Bring along some paper and pencils and maybe a fishing pole and have a peaceful walk and a little sit somewhere quiet. 

Maybe I should set up a separate garden blog?  What do you think?  You have my number.
It's certainly taken up all my time and thoughts lately.  Hmmmmm . . . might be fun. 

I love summer.

The Paper Hat


When placing a paper (newspaper hat) on in our house you must become someone
else. . .



Today, we are wearing the Obituary.
Kinda weird, but ok.





Sun hat coming next. . .
