Humane Shelter, White Bluff, Charlotte and Jam, Coffee and Ant Hills

 From my house, and out of my  county into Dickson Co., through the city of Dickson and out to the city of  Charlotte there is an Amish store that I  love going in.  The other day, sitting here at the house without internet, when I have other things that I could be doing, I decided I needed to leave the house. Then the question was, where to go?  Into Dickson Co., or the other way into Maury county, which by the way,  where I live sits just about on each line. With no decision made, I got in the  car and headed to get gas. Then I weighted the direction, and since I had donations for the  humane society and ours is not open yet, I opted for Dickson's society.  On a side note, donations did not  get delivered, cause I ventured off into  another direction of Dickson that I have not been to in 30 yrs or so. I went to white Bluff Tn. They had some interesting places to eat  lunch and it was lunch time.  I stopped at one pl...

ATT SUCKS, The Bond, Bicentennial 1976

Hello everyone, I have been without internet since the evening of July 8th. Storm whipped though, but as soon as the wind blew, it went out. This has become an issue and with what  I pay, it should not be. Last summer this happened and after a  few days without, a tech made it out here,  checked the boxes inside, the wires and  what knot outside and found the issue  down the road where the box is and all  the wires lead. He fixed it. No issues. UNTIL, the first of June this yr. With a storm,  it went out, I waited a day then I placed  the call for a repair. Few days later, the  day before the tech was to arrive, it came back on, on its own.  Since then there have been at least if not more times that it went out with storms, but in a couple of hours later, it came back up. That was not the result this time. I  waited till the 9th, placed the call which caused me to be on line with that voice mail crap for an  hour, after making ...

 Tuesday, I headed out for my allergy shot. From there I took my  sewing machine that I bought last week back to Wally World, there was missing parts.  After that I headed over to the  Pumphery and Beard coffee shop to drop off some 2.5x3.5 cards for the  vending machine. Figured I would make one more stop at the antique store. Then home... Pumphery and Beard Leaving the coffee shop this is  what it looked like outside. I had to take a pic of this can at the  antique store in there outside  area. I wondered if it had been shot up or just rusted out. I so want this for the yard. Visitors the hummingbird feeder. Oh my gosh, isn't this little dude so pretty. Gorgeous Ruby Throated hummingbird. I put up feeders in spring of 24 after my winter move here. After putting up feeders, this male showed up, floating around with  no effort at all, darting in and out, taking a nip here and there. Like all birds, the male is the  prettiest and more col...

Saddlebag House, Rodents, Rain, Mushroom, Ants, The FlowerBED

  A Saddlebag House Do you what that is? Saddlebag houses get their name from the layout  of two rooms on either side of a central  chimney, resembling saddlebags draped over a horse. The practical design was common in 1800's architecture because it was easy to heat with a central shared chimney and easy to expand as  families grew. This one is located in Morgan County, Ga., and was built in the late 1800's. I love when I stumble across things that make me learn, things I never really wondered about, but things that are so neat to  learn about. Okay, so I really didn't out smart the squirrel! Damn rodents! Yep, still a tad too warm for me to venture out and put the rock in the dry creek bed. Hoping that tomorrow will be better. And with that thought, I  decided to look and see what the temp would be tomorrow... and this is what I see. Did my walk about at almost five pm on Monday. Talk about being late! I do walk abouts in the yard to see what is blooming, ...
