Photos and Peanuts

 

I have to mention about Linus and Charlie Brown pictured below, these boys were great! They came to visit where I work and they were just adorable, Linus kept asking me to hold his "head" while he walked around visiting and chatting with everyone. His eyes were a bit too high, so he would bump in to things while wearing his Linus head. Their awesome mom helped make their costumes and they paper mached beach balls for the heads. Very clever indeed!

My family loves "Peanuts" gang, so this was really neat to see. Great costumes!

Autumn

Seeing the Old Mill in Pigeon Forge reminds me that fall is indeed here.

Although there is no fall foliage seen here, you know it's not far behind. 

 

 

CAT NAP

An iPhone photo post,



Should I sleep here or over there? I could sleep just anywhere!
A box, a bag or under the tree, too many choices, I'm tired you see.
I need a drink, from the sink, please, please just let me think!
Aww that was good, I feel refreshed, I'll need to nap before I'm bushed.
I'm so tired I do not care, I need somewhere to lay my head.
Hey this is good here on the bed, upon the mail, I do declare!
I need to rest now I'm so tired, I'll stay right here and nap awhile.

Green Mountains Majesty!

Great Smoky Mountains National Park

I know they say the best time to visit here is in the fall,
 but I just loved all the various shades of green everywhere.
Everything was so lush and beautifully green.
I always love visiting anytime of the year and
discovering little bits of nature and history
I haven't seen before.

What's your favorite part of the Great Smokies?
If you haven't been, you need to plan a visit.

Blue Eyes!

This Alpaca dropped by for a special "Pet Therapy" visit,

he enjoyed the apple treat!

What beautiful blue eyes you have, thanks for visiting!

Seriously?

It may sound funny, but I guess my word for 2012 would be...Seriously!?!

EXAMPLES:

If someone drives crazy, I've caught myself saying, Seriously!?!

If someone does something dumb, I'll say, Seriously!?!
 
But I guess what made me realize I say this in reference to a lot of things, is what came
in the mail today.

Seriously!?!

I know I am getting older, but I'm only 40!!!!
I am now getting offers for Senior Discounts in the mail?

Seriously!?!

Here's the proof!

Protecting the Nest!

It was a nice cool evening, so I opened the window in my bedroom. 

I wanted to get some fresh air, and I knew Beamer would also come and get some fresh air. No sooner had he got settled, a bird immediately appeared on the roof of my Jeep, he hopped back and forth from my car to Dad's car squawking at Beamer. Of course Beamer wouldn't be undone, he meowed right back, but knew he was separated by the screen. 

The bird did not notice or care about the screen, it was protecting the nest near by. 

This went out for about 45 minutes, and I couldn't stand it any longer, I figured the bird would eventually give up, but no, it just kept right on. I finally had to shut the window and close the drapes. So much for the fresh night air. I guess the bird felt triumphant-it had won! I didn't realize a cat's tail can wag just as fast as a dog's tail can!
