Country Road....Take me Home

NAME THAT TUNE...

 Fall colors and a country road....don't ya love 'em?

Whenever I see a country road it always reminds me of...

 a song by John Denver...

"Country Road, take me home".

Right about now you should be glad you can't hear me singing it.

God you have a great imagination with your colors.

Thanks for visiting my part of the country,

A Western Sunrise???

I took these pictures a few months ago.....this was when we still knew what clouds were. LOL

 I'm not a meteorologist but I was always taught that the sun rises in the east, so then why when I looked out the window to the "WEST" this morning did I see the sun shining in the clouds?

You can tell from the photo how dark it still is out.

I had to grab my camera ASAP and snap a couple of shots to show you all that the sun now can rise in the West.....

at least her in my part of the country,

Thanks for visiting,

This Ol' School House

This is an old school house that is a couple of miles from our house. 

I stopped by this last summer for a closer look.

No longer in use, and out in the middle of "No whereville" .

Complete with a merry-go-round, 

and a slide to play on.  

I wonder if kids still know what some of these toys are....no batteries or internet here.

No indoor plumbing either.

Not even indoor running water.

It was a simple time.

Just a look at an Ol' School House...."Remember When"

My husband said that it hasn't been used for a school house for 75 years or so 

and is used on occasion for a "community building" now.

A Dry Beautiful Summer & Fall

 Yes we have had a dry summer and now a dry fall,

and yes we have had a hot summer.

But this country life can still be a beautiful,

at least to me.

We are still praying for rain,  it is needed so bad in our part of the country,

Thanks for visiting our brown and beautiful country,

My Pumpkin Patch

I haven't carved pumpkins in a few years, but still love my pumpkins, I just paint them instead.
Many years ago I painted this set of pumpkins, brick fences and blackbirds

Let me introduce them...well the pumpkins at least.  

 This one is a girl with her umbrella and fan.

This is the smart one of the group.

 My farmer with his pitchfork....not too happy, it must have been a bad year farmin'.

My baseball player with his bat.

 There is always one joker in the group.  Don't ya love those curls? 

 This one loves to eat....not pumpkin but popcorn.

The school boy with his backpack.

and what pumpkin patch would be complete without a cowboy and his rope,
and of course a mustache.

Happy Halloween!!

The Ceremony

 Here is my son Kyler, the brides brother, he played all the music for the ceremony.

It was a proud moment for me to have her brother play the music for his sister to walk in to.
He was extremely nervous because he wanted it to be perfect for her special day.
(side note:  got his guitar strap for him when he started playing many years ago)

 Two proud men gave her away...

My husband, her stepdad, Randy (on her right) and her dad, Byron (on her left),

and in the middle......a beautiful bride.

I think my husband was more nervous than Kayla was.

 

 He was so honored to walk her down the isle...

He is a bit proud of her to say the least.

 Poor Macy....

he stumbled a little with his words and his bride had so much sympathy for him....NOT

she thought it was funny.

Communion and prayer.

I love this photo.

Mr. & Mrs.

It was a beautiful and meaningful ceremony,

well, that's my opinion and I'm sure I'm not the least bit prejudice.

Thanks for sharing the ceremony with us in our part of the country,

Jana

It's all in the Timing...

Sorry for this one...

Nothing else to say
