Rainy Day Blues

For some reason Blogger isn't working right for me today. So this blog is in two parts.

I love blue and white dishes. On another forum people were showing beautiful blue and white plates they had found. They were going to break them to use in mosaics. I couldn't bear the thought, and told my cousin, Janice. She laughed at me. The next year for Christmas she gave me a set of blue and white dishes. She told me I could put the hammer to them. I told her no way!! I have them displayed in my china cabinet.

I love blue and white dishes!!

Rainy Day Blues and Whites

Today it is raining. A soft gentle rain. Good for the flowers. The maple tree out front is beginning to lose leaves. Fall is coming.

I love blue and white dishes.

Welcome

This is a welcome sign given to me by my sister, Carol. I love it. I hung it by my front door. It hangs by a rawhide string on a nail driven into the mortar. It is made of slate. She knew I love light houses. I am expecting to meet my future Grandson-In-Law and my future Granddaughter-In-Law soon. I expect to have this welcome sign out. If you ever come see me and don't see this sign, don't think you are not welcome. Sometimes when the wind comes out of the northeast it makes this sign bump against the brick. I always fear the slate might break, so when I hear the bumps, I hurry out to get it and put it inside to keep it safe until the wind dies down again.

Wednesday Morning

This fellow is standing guard at my font steps. I've had him for quite a while. He once stood in one of my bird baths. That was in the days before I knew to put bricks in the bath to keep his feet out of the water. Because I didn't know, he lost part of his feet. I called around to ask what to do. I finally stood him in a box of cement and let it set. He now has a very heavy base and stands at the end of my front sidewalk. This is also where I put my bird feeders on shepard hooks in the winter. He gets decorated from time to time with bird droppings, but being the ever faithful soldier he takes it and never flinches. (Those are volunteer impatiens that have come up behind him.)

Just Regular Old Stuff

Some days you just do stuff. Grocery Store, Doctor's Office, Post Office, etc. Today was one of those. Here I am at the corner of 2nd and Lee heading for home. You can tell that our town is small. Tomorrow, Meggie, I'm planning a hair cut. Cross your fingers for me. LOL
