Around here it will be the green of fir, pine and live oak trees, right now all the big leaf maples are a brilliant yellow, pretty soon all that will be left is the bare branches.

Had a nice weather day earlier this week. Decided to do some pressure washing. Pulled out the empty fuel cans to wash off all the dust and grime. I counted 31 cans on the trailer. The others that are full didn't come out for washing.
That's somewhere around 155 gallons of gas at $5 a gallon it will cost almost $800 to fill them.

Oh, and call me in the morning
Had this happen a few times. They usually tear the hay ring to pieces before getting out.

My friend got called over to a mutual friend's trailer. Heater set this outlet on fire. Fortunately one of the friends living there turned the power off in time.
Not enough amps, just a bad connection to the plug prong.

My hubby likes to do stuff like that. Our first house he painted one living room wall to be a view of the neighbors house through open studs with insulation around the edges.
I didn't like it, but the house sold quick in a housing crash when we moved over seas during the 80's.
I like the stairs above, but he would probably paint something creepy into them, these days.
Our farm house had eyeballs and gremlins peeking out of knot holes in the natural woodwork he did for the ceilings and cabinets.

Space and Rocket Center Memorial Day night. The rocket caught my eye, so I went to the parking lot and took the photo.

Madison AL gazebo next to the train tracks that are still used.
This use to be called Madison Station way back when. But this is center of downtown Madison AL.
It reminded me of Christmas card when I saw it last night.

Nice shot of the Saturn V, always my favorite rocket! There used to be one standing in a visitor center or rest area on I-65, way up at the top of the state. Maybe it's still there, that was practically a quarter-century ago... did rockets get 'canceled' by the woketards?
Also, that gazebo is reminiscent of the towers on the Hotel Del Coronado... reminded me of the old 'Victorian Fire Hazard' when I saw the pic, lol.

Here's the Saturn V that was in another section of the Space & Rocket Center. This is like the one at the State Line welcome center.
Dad was a working on calibrating the gyros for the Saturn V. Uncle was working on the static test stand, and Mom worked with the human factors folks for where the buttons and switches went in the Gemini capsule. I'm a space brat.

That's still out front, but it was too dark to get a good photo of it the other night. It didn't have spotlights on it.
A few from my daughter's world. I think she's underwater more than above water these days.
A few more.
Here's the Saturn V which stood (an possibly still stands) in the visitor center & rest area on I-65, up at the top of the state:
Kind of a fuzzy pic, but it is what it is, lol. I was using an old school 35mm automatic camera at the time, not a digital camera like we have today.
On an unrelated note, here is the China platter I used for the turkey I roasted the other day, once the bird came out of the oven. I threw in a shot of a plate from the same set, these belonged to me beloved & dear departed mum:
Since I had the platter out after washing it, I figured I'd snap a shot or two, lol. This 'China' was actually made in Japan by an outfit called MJTA, dunno what the letters stand for in the logo but the dishes are pretty nice. I saved 'em to use as a way of honoring me mum's memory, 10-4?

That same Saturn V is still there the last time I looked. And I love the china, it's beautiful.
