Lily and Vet Visit, Ace, Antique Store, Lunch and Water Feature

Image
 On Tuesday I took Lily to the vet.  I had to leave her cause they needed a urine sample and her  bladder was to small. Pumped IVs in her to pump that up. While she was at the vets I  did some running in Fairview cause home and coming back would be 30 home and 30 back.   I hate leaving her, broke my heart. I stopped at ACE Hardware which is new in Fairview, which is growing fast. Nashville is moving out this way now. After my Ace ran I stopped at Bowie Park. We usually drive a bit to go to Montgomery Bell Park for taking family pics but I told Amber we needed to do this place or better yet,  once the temps cool off, pack the  grill and head here for a family picnic. There are several places, covered with tables. One over by the lake so folks could  fish, a brand-new playground for the kids, awesome place to picnic. After the park I headed to the antique store. There in one in Fairview I like going to. It has rental booths and price are so good....

Dry Creek, The Sky, Fossils and Lily Bit

Image
Temps and humidity were down on Monday so I got out and  actually cut the backyard today. Grass was still wet and the mower was struggling but I got it done. Then I unloaded the bags of  rocks from the car and poured them into the dry creek. Course I need more rocks. I  figure I will need four or five more bags. But I am loving this. I watched the area before putting  the rocks in to be sure it was flowing correctly. I did have to curve the end of it more a bit so that it would flow right how it needed to. FYI...there used to be a time that a project like this would have been finished in a day, no longer than two. I hate aging and this body. Monday evening I walked out of the kitchen and all the sunset lighting flowing in through the window was  yellow. Looked so strange. I did not go out however and check it out but a few mins later Braden called and told me to go out and look at the  sky. This is over Carries house. One direction had a hint of pink. And b...

  HOWDY!! I know I have touched on this before but, 20 to 25 mins down the road from me, in the county seat of Hickman County,   Centerville.  Those who know of Sarah Cannon also knows that she was the famous and  funny woman known as Minnie Pearl. If you know who Minnie was, you also need to know that she was from Centerville Tn. The reason I brought this up is because, I typed out the word HOWDY and that made me  think of her. That was how she  greeted everyone from the stage, loudly and as the word rolled off her tongue, it got more high pitched at the end.   As you enter Centerville there is a ridge of rocks right before you cross over  the bridge there is a statue of Minnie.  Over a year ago during a storm, that statue got blown off the spot where it sat. Just recently, a week or so ago,  Minnie was repaired and placed back in her spot upon the ridge. Welcome back home Minnie. Two days ago I posted about the jams I bought ...

 Hi everyone. Hoping you have a beautiful start to your day. My post yesterday about stopping at the Amish store and checking out the varied amount of jellies, jams and preserves brought some comments that I thought I would address today. Miss Merry over at the house with the picket fence, commented that the  bacon jam is good on a burger. Oh my gosh, that sounds like it  would be amazing. I will have to pick up a jar of that next time I am  out there and try it out. She also stated  that Traffic Jam was her favorite. I checked that one out and it also sounds great, a mix of different berries. Even  though it sounded good, I was in the mood to try something different. One of the  others was also a mix of berries,  just different ones then what is  in a Traffic Jam. That lead me to check out the berries that are in Traffic Jam and  Frog Jam. Traffic Jam has peaches,  strawberries, red raspberries, cherries and  cranberries in it...
