Hungry

My first photo taken this year.  And it's with the iPhone.  But I just had to turn around and get this.  Too bad that fence post is right in the center.  Seems there is always a car behind me and I rush.

Gone to seed

Broccoli gone to seed in my husband's garden last spring.
Currently, his garden spot is grown up in weeds as he was not able to plant anything this year before he died.  I'm not sure what I'll do with it next year, but I'm going to keep the fence up and keep the weeds beat down this year until I decide.  I have visions of becoming the old widow woman in the gardening hat with hoe in hand in a garden full of flowers.
We'll see what next year brings.

I am going to halt The Barn Collective for now.  I don't know if I will continue it at a later time or not.  I will be happy for someone to pick it up.  Just let me know.

Thank you to everyone for your kind comments and emails.  Words can be of such great comfort in times of grief.  We are very fortunate to have friends who have visited both at the hospital (two hours away) and at home, brought food, ran errands, looked after my mother, fed the cats, and even mowed the lawn.  My son and I are plodding along with each day.  He will be starting his permanent job next week after a delay due to the illness and death of his father.  I am glad he has something to occupy his mind.

Until next time.

What an awesome experience to stand next to these huge pillars and imagine what it must have been like to live in a home such as this.  The home survived the Civil War by being occupied by the Union Army, just to burn down in 1890 from a carelessly thrown cigarette.

The sky was disappointing the day we were there, but the websites below have some better shots.

Edsel 2

At car shows my husband looks at muscle cars and I look at Edsels. 

What does that say about me?

I feel guilty when I post a beautifully kept/restored vehicle to Rubbish Tuesday, but hey, it is old.

A Barn Collective message

Barn lovers, I'm going to skip The Barn Collective this week due to the Thanksgiving holiday.  I know everyone will be busy and I am two weeks behind on visiting your entries.  

It will return the Sunday night following Thanksgiving.

Thank you for your participation thus far!

Have a great holiday week!

Taking a poll here . . . who would be interested in participating in another barn link up?
If there is enough interest indicated by comments on this post, I will do a trial run maybe next Monday-Tuesday.  I do not want to commit to a regularly scheduled one until I see what the time obligations will be for me.
So, no promises for an ongoing meme, but let's do one round!

Thanks,
Amy

Harvest

In keeping with Madge's post today about harvest, this is what happened around my place today.

An enormous garden spider at my in-laws' a couple of weeks ago.

Huge.

About two inches at least.

Got it all here.

Sometimes we avoid the interstate going back and forth to Nashville.

We found this gem this week.
