The Asphalt Caravan





A couple Saturdays ago I woke to find the house surrounded by all kinds of construction equipment. I had a need to investigate further, from the top porch. They were going to put an asphalt sealing on the parking lot of the shopping center around the corner. It did not take long for them to complete the job, and they were gone.

Early Autum Flowers





Mid September garden. Hosta, wild sunflowers, Chinese lanterns, tansy, purple coneflower, the dried seed heads of columbine, the leaves of the ditch day lilys and some annual I bought this Spring because it grew tall enough to add interest to the back.

They look nice in a photo. They are a bugger to keep from taking over. Thank goodness for gas lawn mowers to keep them tamed.

My computer did not do well with a recent Windows update. Everything had to be re-installed. Photo shop is still waiting. This leaves my options limited to paint box and rotate. I soooooo miss the crop feature. Thank goodness the photos were taken when the sun was up. There is no way to brighten, either.

The 4th picture is Cassie adding air to her tire. I like the way she reflects in the back quarter panel of her truck.

Max and the Alabama Cousins take a ride

More Lucy and Kristie with MaxKaileigh went last in the Max work out.



Max and the Alabama Cousins

Kristie took the children for a buggy ride with Max while she practiced for fair competition. Keegan went first... and then my battery started to wear out. The y had to be lightened in photo-shop because of the contrast between a very dark horse and very bright walls.


Lucy was the next passenger.
