and has written an encouraging piece to go with it.
I do hope you will go read what she has shared.
And Please take time to visit the rest of her blog.
It is encouraging, and inspirational.

Thanks Cindy.

Hiking "Around" Mt. Pisgah

In July we went for a hike.
Since it was too hot in the afternoon to hike up the mountain,
we just walked on the trails by the river.
A perfect day.

It's all part of Mt. Pisgah Arboretum.
Lots of little signs in areas
to tell what various foliage was.
There were several trails in and around the area.

This bench with seats on each side.

Is where we sat to have our picnic lunch.
Next time we will go earlier so we can hike the small but steep mountain.
And here aer our sweet granddaughters at a local park.
Smiles, hugs and blessings on your day.

OOOOPS! It's Tuesday!

Nothing like making time go faster than it already is.
Did you notice I had my white Wednesday post up today?
I could not figure out why Kathleen at
Faded Charm did not have her post up yet.
maybe cause....
It is only TUESDAY!!

That's OK.
I also thought I was turning 63 in September
I'm only turning 62!
And I thought in December it was going to be our 43rd anniversary.
Nope. Only our 42nd.
So, if anyone else is confused about anything,
that should make you feel much better. =)

blessings on your day. (Tuesday!)

Rusty Stuff Day

Cute tin sewing box.
Blues in it of course. =)
Inside is rusty and holes i bottom.
Someone used it for a planter.
But it still looks cute just sitting here.
(Oh, don't miss the yellow handle,
and yellow tatting..
It's yellow day too you know) =)

Rusty plant stand I just acquired.
Too rusty for you?

I got two of them.
Thinking of maybe spraying one white,
and letting the rust show through.
What do you think?

Happy Blue/yellow Thrifty Monday.
Please go visit these other fun places.
