Impatient

Waiting for dinner....

PS:  no dogs were starved in the making of this photo...

The Keeper

More from the apple orchard visit.  Not sure if this guy is keeping guard over the porta-johns to prevent rioting by the skeletons, or to keep the lines in order on crowded days, or to make sure everyone uses the hand sanitizer when they come out...but guard he does. 

Drunk Duck?

Went to the cider mill a week or so ago...there was a great kids area including this duck race game.  You pumped the water into the trough by way of an old fashioned pump.  This little guy could not stay upright...think he drank too much hard cider...lucky he didn't drown.

Little Tin Soldiers...

Ok...so they aren't tin and they aren't little...but it looks like they are guarding the liberty bell, of course it isn't the REAL liberty bell...yeh yeh yeh..its ALL fake...

Back in July I was at Bronner's Christmas Store...open everyday but about 3.  Periodically you will be seeing scenes from there...After all, its only 103 days 'til Christmas (and somedays there is a dearth of photo ops).

PS:  I sat my bad self down on the bench, but those two boys totally ignored me...sigh...

Sundog

Yesterday was the apple orchard visit..quintessential autumn activity here in Michigan.  We looked up and the sun was surrounded by what appeared to be a halo..in fact it is called a sun dog...Had never seen one actually surround the sun...Now I have to wonder...when there is a ring around the moon...is that a moondog?

Not Any More

These are no longer "standard" equipment, but I remember them well...as a child, ours was wall mounted.  (Viv, I was ready to post this the other day and saw your dial phone...freaky)

Colors

Just because I like it...
