Hello, Readers.
Happy weekend.
We are enjoying a rainy fall evening
at the Lamp Post.
It's a rare night when we are home this evening,
honoring the time for a little rest.
We've had a beautiful week,
but with today's wind and rain,
you can feel the turn coming.
We are coving the insects chapter in my
Master Gardener class tomorrow.
Maybe there will be some clue
to the winter
with this guy's colors.
The Honorable A Team,
my weekend morning companions,
enjoyed what was probably the last of the really nice weather.
Greenfield Park is always one of our favorite stops.
They head immediately to the playground
to give honor to their childhood favorites:
Natalie the swings,
and Erik the sandbox.
We walk the paved loop,
and always sit on the big, green swing at the end.
Pssssst.
Most Honorable Harborcreek Community Parks People.
I want one of those swings around our pond.
How can I help us get one?
Just trying to be useful.
This gal would probably argue
with Emerson.
Life IS about being happy,
says Natalie.
Natalie's Happy People shirts are now for sale.
We are taking orders this weekend.
The color for the season is gold with black printing.
She has to make the final tweaks of the design
when her Most Honorable Sister
stops at home to help her this weekend.
She and her friends from Canada and Colorado
are pushing through the last weeks
of their first semester of Grad School.
This is a photo of them last weekend,
after I insisted that some
homemade spaghetti sauce
and some red wine
is just what they needed to recharge.
Natalie is selling tees for $20
and crewneck sweatshirts for $30.
Message one of us to reserve yours.
Call.
Text.
Post.
Come to the Lamp Post on horseback.
Just let us know your size
and if you want a tee or a crew.
Watch our facebook accounts for the actual design
and shade of gold.
Let's take a moment to honor this unique snapshot
I captured yesterday at school.
The red,
orange,
and gold of the school van
look stunning
against the blue sky.
Let's also honor this shot
of my nephew Dan fishing
in the wilds of the Allegheny National Forest.
The Most Honorable Samuel the Southpaw
signed the book for the
National Honor Society this week.
Well done, Son!
If any of my relatives on my mother's side of the family
are reading this blog,
note the striking resemblance Sam suddenly bears
to our kinfolk.
His height has grown from our sturdy,
German roots.
When I think of roots,
I think of trees.
The dogs and I came across this
hole
in
the
trunk
the other night
while looping the high school.
A hole in a tree trunk
just makes me wonder
what magic could lie within.
I love how Momma Bear
is reading to her children.
It is the single, best thing
you can do for a child's early education.
Read.
READ.
READ!!!
the next meeting of my
Anything But A Book Club Book Club
is Sunday, November 19th,
2:00-4:00 at the Lamp Post.
Anyone is welcome,
and one of my favorite things
is seeing who shows up.
The format is more like an elementary school
Show and Tell.
But it's about books,
so it's a Read and Tell.
If you are looking for some good,
cozy,
holiday reads to balance out the craziness,
come and find out what's good!
I love the outdoors and typically host them outside.
But it is 43 degrees and raining,
so I'll let you in.
Eloise
