Comparing color

This shot was taken October 22, 2009....

And this one was taken today....

Isn't digital photography wonderful!  For knowing the date the pics are taken? 

It has been overcast and the sidewalks and roads have been damp all day long, but I have not seen it actually raining.  It was warm enough to sit on the porch and read a while.  It is usually too cool to eat breakfast outside now....I miss that and miss sitting out there to read.

Tomorrow they are saying we may get up to two inches of rain.  At least I have a good excuse to go down and fool with my sewing.  I did a bit of cleaning down there this evening, but only a drop in the bucket. 

Of all things I found some crumb blocks that I had started the other day--started but not finished-- and I have been fooling with them again.  I really don't want to get into making another quilt of them so not sure what I will do with these few blocks.  I am making the bigger than my usual 6½ inches...though I can see myself cutting them apart to go back together a different way.

$3.00

Another shot from the flea market...I did not notice that the price was there until I downloaded my pictures.  I might have re-arranged if I had.

It was overcast all day this day.  I had to run to Walmart to grab a couple Halloween card for Lorelei and Jackson...Jackson's will be late.   But better late than never.

Usually our little town has two nights for trick-or-treating, but this year they are only allowing one night.  Two nights is really nice, though....it gives the kids a chance to go and to stay home and give out candy.

It was overcast all day long, but just tonight started raining a little bit.  I am glad Roger got the garden spot cleaned off yesterday, and got the yard mowed.  Knowing our luck, we will still need to mow it again.

Stove...

This old stove was at the Veedersburg flea market.  I have never seen one quite like this. I do not know why I didn't take a photo from the end.  Well, I know, but it is no excuse.

We did not make it up there till late in the day on the last day it was open.  We were trying to hurry through and not miss any of the booths still there...some had already left.    And others were packing up.

Notice the name Acme Wildwood on the side...I can not see or hear the word Acme without I am back in grade school and it is Saturday morning and I am glued to the TV watching the Road Runner show.  (Only in winter were we clued to the TV on a Sat. morn...in summer, we were either playing or had work to do.)


Did anyone else enjoy  it as much as we did...all of us loved it.  And Neal and I still laugh about it. 

And remember how when we were kids, there were cartoons on Saturday mornings, and on most evenings there was either a half hour or hour of them...and we thought we were so lucky to have that much. We would never have imagined having TV channels just for kids all day long.
