Foto Friday 16 ~ Let's Talk About Orange

 




For those that wanted to see the change- some of the flowers are turning orange.
I thought it would put out new flowers, but instead they just changed colors, backwards from what the nursery said, but I'll take it.   I thought I knew what I was talking about when I said it put out new flowers.  Obviously I know nothing about mums, y'all.  :)


Walmart parking lot putting on a show.  I knew I wouldn't make it home in time for a better shot. People were just driving right on by, and I thought you all need to slow down and check out this sky! 



We had a blast last night at the trunk or treat.  I got to hold my newest great grand Jillynne, while her siblings rode the train and the hay ride.  This is my only (so far) gg boy, Bo.  He  was busy collecting candy and riding with his dad on the hay ride.  


I spent a couple of hours at a cemetery this week, trying to find a man that someone else said was buried in a different cemetery.  Anyways, I found him, on the back of his wife's stone.  Also found footstones, which as you can see, are embedded in a pile of the  devil's own insect, the nasty fire ant.  By the time I finished walking around the whole cemetery I had a total of eleventy- seven bites.  (Actually just 7 on one foot.)  But it FELT like many, many more.  I'm thankful I got out of there with my feet still attached.  They were everywhere. My husband said they sure do like this cemetery! Actually, they just love the rain, because that's when they surface. 


I hope everyone is having a good weekend.  I'm thankful that I can turn off the tv and make my blood pressure go down.  I'm thankful for my church and my community and most of all, I am thankful for my family.  Don't forget to set your clocks back tonight.  (I sure wish we could do away with that!)

Stunning sunset! Fire ants, I know the feeling, we get them in our garden, and I've been bitten a few times, quite painful! Have a great week.

That parking lot wasn’t a bad place for a sunset show. It was a pretty unobstructed view.

Ten Four on turning off the tv to lower blood pressure. I am doing that more and more often these days.
I love your Walmart sky. It's amazing how many skies one can see in the big store parking lots if you just look.
Interesting about finding the name of the guy you were looking for on the back of his wife's gravestone. Struck a nerve for me because for some reason, my folks put their children's names on the back of their gravestone. Makes me feel a little strange actually.

I love your Walmart sky. I have seen some good Target and Costco sky photographs as well so you are in good company.
Glad you found the guys name but it was on the back of his wife's gravestone. My name is on the back of my parent's tombstone for some reason along with my sister and brother's names.
Them fire ants a devilish little critters. I grew up in the mountain west where we had red ants which were nasty enough. I got introduced to fire ants when I moved to Texas. They are tiny but they are powerful.
