From my front porch

This tree is in our neighbor's front yard.
The tall pines and blue sky frame it nicely

Gracie the Highlander basking in technicolor

Then I just had to play with it in LunaPic

I'm really enjoying Black and White 

Then we had a very heavy frost
Gracie was icy

as was the bed of Ajuga

BUT 

No frost on the pumpkins

Uncle and I enjoyed the video and we are just 

so very proud and happy and delighted that you and your

family are able to take this trip and share with us.

Today I have the last of my NC State Fair photos

No words needed for these amazing mum displays

I think you can make arrangements to buy them when the fair is over.

  

Different groups set up their own gardens for judging

here are a few

 October was Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Here is a sea of Purple Hearts, which have a pinkish purple flower

Garden Railroad 

 Beautiful cinnamon color bark of a Crepe Myrtle

This was the last area we visited...a covered outdoor  meeting venue with a

spectacular stack stone fireplace

Thoroughly Poetic Pictorial Thursday

Today we join Two  SPOILED CATS 

Angel Sammy and Teddy for their poetic pictorial poem.

Today's inspiration

Hockey Sticks

This is getting old

He has been told

put my paper in the special box!!

"don't throw my paper in to the snow"

Now it is time to scold.

It makes me say HBO words such as 

He-double hockey-sticks

by the time I finish my coffee will be COLD.

Poet's note:  I took a little creative liberty here.

Obviously anyone shoveling snow in their bathrobe

is angry about something.  I decided it was his missing newspaper. 

He went out to get the paper which was buried in snow!! 

We have issues with our paper delivery too.

Just a few words from Kat

Hosted by Comedy Plus

My nephew, Kat,

would like to share some breathtaking moments with you.

They are in Nevada

I think we took a wrong turn somewhere, and ended up on the moon. 😹Mom says we’re at Lake Mead National Recreation Area in Nevada.

The lake is at approximately 40% of full capacity, due to drought and increased water demands, but it’s  still a beautiful site to behold.

We had a gorgeous sunset,

then a full moon.

OMCs/OMDs Kat and Pup these are the most amazing photos.  I had no idea about the breathtaking Nevada state Parks.  WE have been to Hoover Dam and around but saw noting like this.

Lovingly your Aunty Hic 

On Nature Friday Pup is going to share a most AMAZING video he and

our peeps made....STAY TUNED
