Sunday Lights

This morning it naturally came up that the topic of lights was
going to dominate this blog post.  This morning I noticed how
subdued the colors were outside. This was from our backyard
and it was 37 degrees.

I do have a thing for lights.  This morning I put a glass
enclosed votive candle inside my latest new piece of glass,
perfect for the fall season and Thanksgiving.

I just have to share that this beauty was found at KARM,
the Knoxville Area Rescue Mission thrift store.

Cost: $3.27.



This glowing school bus caught my attention yesterday in the
parking lot at the fitness center.  It was amazing to me
the way the rising sun lit up the inside so evenly.  Almost spooky.





This was a scene on the main road off our lane about three weeks ago.  The police
cars were there for over an hour.  We then noticed a car was
being towed from the sight.  It might appear a girl is handcuffed in the photo.  

 That's all we know but  the blue and red
glows got our attention when we went out to get our paper.

(I zoomed in from a distance and used no flash to draw their attention)



An ultimate little light maker from nature.  In the early spring here, we noticed
lightning bugs in our back yard.  I tried video taping them and making
photos using my camera to no avail.

The next morning this lightning bug was waiting and posing for
me right inside our front door in the living room.

He smiled, I snapped his picture and then safely deposited
him outside.

On another note, I'm very excited today.  We are going to a play!  It has been too long since we have been to a play.  I love plays.  I love theatre.  Tomorrow I hope to give a report about the play.

October People, Places, Things and Thoughts




Yesterday Canyon sung with Clint and he is here showing him
his 12-string guitar.  Canyon has an interest in learning
to play the guitar. 

Please ignore unmade daybed in background ;-/

 



Recently I bought this candle and loved the scent
description on the candle:


Golden nectar, juicy mandarin and red delicious apple blend
with toasted cinnamon,  mulled cider and freshly harvested berries.


Oh, by the way ... it smells heavenly!



 

A rainbow this week.  My daughter called me to
inform me of it and I was able to tell her I had already
made  photos of it.


We think alike.

Spanish moss that to me appears as a ghostly
apparition on the morning we left North Myrtle Beach.


I didn't want to come back home.  We had such a wonderful time.  Next year I had
thought of renting a  place on the beach for an entire month.  I wonder if we could
pull this off?  :~D

Fall scents and smells from Starbucks.

A picturesque little scene when we stopped for gas in Chandler, NC.

A little treat Canyon picked out  yesterday.  He announced he did not
like the "white stuff" but said he liked its brains ... the cake inside
the top.


(I don't want him to eat junk like this often and he doesn't)

One of those moments when several weather conditions come
together with that dramatic lighting.

Clint and I have begun to watch Breaking Bad.   We started with this
DVD of the first episodes.  I had not expected to like it but
it has captured my attention.  Bryan Cranston has won the Emmy
Award three consecutive times for Lead Actor in a Dramatic Series.

Hard as I may try, I can't stop taking photos of some of these sunsets!

Canyon presented me this drawing.  I think it's very good.  He
informed me he did not know until he finished that it was heart shaped.

Yesterday morning I was hearing loud male voices yelling outside.  The driver of
this truck was delivering the home (double wide) of our new neighbors that will be right behind us.


We aren't exactly happy about it.   I just hope they aren't loud, have the "Redneck
Yard of the Week" recognition or target practice at home.  The "hedgy" growth
 back there is thick but we may plant some kind of evergreen trees along the fence.

This sky reminds me of the background of "Gone With the Wind" when
Rhett and Scarlett are fleeing a burning Atlanta.

Clint and I got new phones a couple of days ago.  Oh my goodness ...
so much to learn, it is almost comical.



Tuesday my son-in-law drove himself to the ER.  Canyon is sitting here
in the waiting room at the hospital.  There is something wrong with this
picture.  My son-in-law was at another hospital known as St. Mary's.

How confusing!  The guy behind the ER desk seemed bewildered that
there could be a mix up.   One is called St. Mary's North and the other St. Mary's in
North Knoxville.

My son-in-law had emergency appendectomy surgery on Tuesday.  He had to return to the
hospital yesterday afternoon.  I am hoping and praying he gets to come
home sometime soon.  He's on our minds today.
