A walk to the fountain

Howdy there, Mr. Squirrel!

I just love these old iron fountains and Charleston has so many of them. No matter where you are, turn right or turn left, there is nearly always a pretty fountain within easy walking distance. I love to walk to them, around them, and to sit next them just relaxing and listening to the splashing water. Even on the most muggy and sultry of days, sitting next to the water makes you just feel cooler, doesn't it?

I like to bring little granddaughter to the fountains and watch her throw pennies into the water as she makes a wish, she sure enjoys that!

And a picnic by a fountain is always so very nice, in any season!

I spotted these pretty flower bouquets in the store last night, aren't they pretty?

Even if I don't always buy them, I usually stop to admire them.

Do you have fountains in your town? How is Fall treating y'all in your neck of the woods? Has anybody had frost yet?--not here, it's still pretty hot.

ORANGE night

It's an orange evening in the hot city.

This was a walk we took sometime back in late August, I think. Every night we walked this week it was just as hot as summer and I was sweating so bad, so our walks were short, even after the sun goes down.

Meet me at the gate and we'll walk!

this is my other kimono I told you about!

They are fun to wear.I posted my first one here:
My long kimono

I love it when we have the "blue hour" only we  jokingly call it the "blue minute", because it seems to be there, and then GONE..... so quickly.

I carried this pocketbook SO MUCH THIS SUMMER! If you know me, you know how much I LOVE pocketbooks and fun jewelry and scarves.

My favorite purse charm, got it this summer!

Thinking back to these orange pictures........I made these back in January. They go with this post I think--so I am putting them here.

Headed back in now for a big glass of sweet tea on lots of ice!  I cut lemons too----do you like lemons in your tea or water? I'll see you on the next walk! Always glad when you join us!
It's the weekend!---y'all have any fun weekend plans?

Flowers up high

I didn't even notice the flowers way up there until Mr. Front Porch pointed them out to me!

Sun is setting, it will be dark soon

rainbow love beads and a smooth polished rock thing! LOL

I've been collecting peacocks the past year or so, I just think they are so colorful and pretty! I enjoyed them so much on my birthday over at the plantation, where they wander wild all over. I made lots of pictures of them that week, The only other place I ever see peacocks is down at Weeki Wachee springs, in Florida.
