Barbie Cars

Before I stored away Halloween and Thanksgiving I got these out from behind where those totes go....The Barbie cars I had saved from when our girls were little...two bottom ones were some generic brand and the two on top were actually Barbie brand. I am looking forward to seeing Emily's reaction when she sees them....and to see which one she picks to take home first.

And this one was down there too..a  RV type van. You can tell the kids played with all these quite a bit.....

and then I saw where one wheel was broken off....amazingly it still kind of rolls...But...why on Earth did I keep this?  guess I just couldn't let it go! ha! 

Sunday Morning

I was wakened Sunday morning at 3:30  by the sounds of a woman screaming....by the time I figured out there had been a wreck by our place there was a deputy arriving....and lots of volunteer firemen, trucks, and ambulance and a roll back...much lights and noise in the early morning....the girl had ran off the road, hit this big ditch, took out the sign and continued on over the mae driveway and back onto the highway...quite a ride!

dug up quite a bit of dirt and rocks when she hit the end of the ditch

Sunday morning we walked down to check it out...found this bird and stuck it in the fence....wonder how long it'll stay there.....I haven't heard, but I am thinking the girl wasn't hurt much....

Sunday Sunset

The sunset was pretty this evening....Saturday's sunset was spectacular, but did not have a camera with me...

These were taken at the old charcoal kilns

Dry Run

Have been having quite the dry run on the blog.  Have been super busy but just can't seem to come up with any posts.... I found this piece of a Pepsi bottle in a mole hill in the Mae Place.

I rubbed on it with some water and some of the paint came off..

Some Fall color from last week

I took all the screens off a few days ago...something I do every Fall.  The inside of the windows are washed and hopefully the outsides will be washed within a day or two. Saturday morning here was like Spring....The spider had built a web outside of our kitchen window...a perfect web in which it caught a few little bugs.  As the weather person promised, a cold front pushed through and the spider disappeared.  After quite a bit of wind, it's web was half gone..

Full Moon

Two pictures of the last full moon heading over the Western horizon early in the morning...

and at the same time, the sun was coming up in the East!

the Pin Oaks are so pretty this year

Burning Bush is always pretty!

Saturday Drive

Scenic view south on Hwy 63  Pictures don't do the colors justice....

Belle Chutes, looking upriver....see the eagle?

Here it is!

Bonus points for you if you know what great place this goes to!

Mute Monday

Day with Emily

Sure had fun with Emily Thursday! It was a beautiful day and we spent quite a bit of time outside...the trailer hitch here was her horse....the chains were reins!

This is the beginning of her "leaf angel" she wanted to make! 

She was a lot of fun to have around!

Stickers

We spotted this vehicle at the Conservation Dept. this morning....This person has lots to share!

Foggy Morning

Pictures from this morning....the fog sure didn't last very long, but was pretty for a bit.

These are looking North from our house.

several contrails early this morning to the East

Not sure why I took this picture....other than most of the rest of the cows are black and were out in the field..

Sure had some nice temperatures today!
