Post 51.... some morning "rainy pictures"....

Couldn't resist a second post this morning, when I noticed I was at 50 post ~ time flies... already thinking of 100 th post giveaway ideas - would you like a "Mary Kay Andrews book"? Or maybe some vintage ephemera? How about a pretty piece of vintage matte white pottery? Do you like vintage textiles ~ & lace? Would you rather have a combination from the "village" with some "hag" touches throw in?

I'm planning so let me know what you like....

making up our bed.... I saw this little squirrel watching me, sitting atop the fence around our patio. This view is from our bedroom, so I can see what he is up to... Will be glad when I can get some "posies" for the porch, daffodils blooming already here so, I'm ready for some pretty baskets & assorted flower pots.

"getting ready" this morning, noticed the neighborhood squirrel ls playing in "puddles" ~ they don't seem to mind. guess its easier to find where they hid their "nuts".

do you see him in the middle?

"Jamie" is ready for the rain, he has a "comfy spot" on the garage table at "Nannie's" with his own umbrella. Lucky kitty~!


More about "Autumn" ~ Mary's squirrel soon, you will "adore" this story...

out to play in the "puddles" on my way to work.... ~one vintage hag

"still, Raining..." Snow is on the way.... " ~ "Sand Castles" for day dreaming..

happy birthday "girly" ~ Theresa, (Time Worn Interiors) - she is in Iowa on her birthday having a blast at the "Pink Chateau".... have a great one~!

My "blog" picture for this rainy morning ~

poor little "wiener dog" ~ has to wear a slicker like that to do his business ~ bet he has "galoshes to match" ....that would be a great way to keep your "feet dry".

for today, I have something new and very interesting to share. Until we get snow..... tomorrow, brr~! (i'm sorta hoping the weather man has that wrong again.., I'd rather have a snow day during the week - a "bonus" day with David to build a "mini snowman" - we live in Georgia ~ usually we get "dusts" of snow...). My friend & "village" antique dealer ~ Lisa sent me a complete email of all the 2009 Oregon Sand Castle Competition. I was amazed at what can be done with sand, and the detail of each and every entry - makes me want to go to the beach and see if I could cast a "junk truck" packed to the gills with treasures....Those are just some of the pictures above. Cool, really~!.

If you'd like to see the whole email,

I'm happy to forward to you - just need your email address.

still raining in Georgia ~ "shabby in the city" commented that one "blogger" hated getting her socks wet when she walked her "puppy" ~ guess she will need some galoshes..... I have a darling "puppy" ~ you've met "Sebastian" ~ I "never" get my socks wet when walking him, you avoid the "puddles" in that situation ~ so as to keep the little "dog" as dry as you can. You know "our brat" gets dried off when he comes in if its been raining - he will stand "shivering" with a pitiful look if you aren't quick enough with the big shower towel to wrap him up ~ gets better... most of the time, he likes his "whiskers" - you know they are bushy - he's a schnauzer ~ dried after he gets a "drink" -

you know he hates to look soggy... always intends to be handsome.

Don't we all?

For today, a "remarkable crew" for a busy rainy Saturday... they are the best, offering up traffic and lots of sales... the "tlw's" (said she might bring some potato soup, yum..), "sam", "fox" and this "hag". Come see us, we'll be ready for you ~ "great load your truck" crew today ~ I know already to expect "laughter", "hold me comments", great "eats" ~ and rainy days usually bring out our "valued asset" our customer to spend some money with something "pretty to look at" when it snows...

I'm sure you have been told this many times, but here in the "south" ~ yes, today's forecast will send everyone around to the "grocery store", shelves will be bare by late today - everyone buys "milk, bread and a paper"... think they eat "paper" sandwiches? Actually, they will buy anything that is left on the shelves.... funny stuff...For us, if we wake to snow on Sunday, a big pot of soup on the stove (in really bad weather and no power, I've cooked on the gas grill...) ~ whatever the "fridge" has to offer up... and some cornbread for "supper".

where ever you are today in what ever weather ~ happy Saturday...it will be what you "make it".

"Rainy" Day in Georgia, Working at the "Village", I love "rain puddles"...

"Rainy Day in Georgia" ~ did you see the movie "One Fine Day" ~ It has George Clooney & Michelle P.. Great movie, great scene where they play in "puddles" ~ guess that is what we will be doing here today. "Nannie" used to want me to wear "galoshes" as a child when it rained, guess she didn't have any idea how humiliating that would be for a child at school. Needless to say, I never wore "galoshes".

Squirrel's like "Autumn" don't mind the rain, they almost

have a rain repelling coat ~ and that bushy tail ~ shakes with fervor.
I'll tell you more about "autumn" some day soon.

Now, I don't know about you but any self taught "junker" needs a cool
yellow rain slicker ~ i have one, yes I do.
Our children used to call me "Paddington Bear" when I'd head out to the
original Lakewood wearing that ~ I stayed warm & dry each step
of the way, so I don't mind rain slickers. They do serve a purpose.

So it occurred to me this morning, first thing~ that I mislead some of you with one of my "peeves" post ~

the top of the list almost was "puddles" ~ I do hate puddles ~ on my counters,

on tables, on our check out counter at the "village" ~ you know
annoying places. But, there is one type puddle I like.

"rain puddles" make me laugh....

guess in an Atlanta suburb we'll be playing in "puddles" today...

off to play in the rain... ~one vintage hag
