Mary's House

Well, it took me almost ALL SUMMER to finish this book. It's a BIG ONE. And full of history. Not really light or easy reading, well unless you love history! ( I do!) LOL

I loved reading about Mary and her family

I found my new embroidered pocketbook at the thrift store---I love it! I love embroidered things---scarves, blouses, pocketbooks, pillowcases and tablecloths.

my copy--I love autographed books

"arm candy" today---my big chunky cheap fun plastic chain bracelets! I wore them alot this summer! They are going with my Fall outfits too.

a glance at some neat arthitecture:

I have photographed this old masonic building many times over the years

curved windows, I think?

there goes a bachelorette party!

There are dozens of these every weekend and some on weekdays as well

old old bricks in Ansonborough

crowded streets. Everybody still wearing shorts here this past weekend. It felt pretty hot to me. Not as bad as deep in Summer....but hot. The humidity was down though, yay!

these ladies are taking a break from the heat!

I made these crepe myrtle pictures below back in the late summer. They are pretty much done blooming now.

my zinnias from this summer. They are still blooming!
Happy Monday, hope your week has started off great!

Hi Debbi! Still hot here too, although cold at night and in the mornings, and as you said, that wonderful low humidity! Makes all the difference on the daily walk! xoxo

Tonight's Micromoon--we watched it rise over the Battery tonight, it was red and orange

Skywatchers in Central, Mountain and Pacific time zones will get a view of the full moon tonight (Sept. 13) at 11:32 p.m., 10:32 p.m. and 9:32 p.m., respectively, while East Coasters will see the moon at its fullest at 12:32 a.m. on the 14th. Regardless of time zone, the moon will appear just a bit dimmer than usual (eerie!), because it will be at apogee, or its farthest distance from Earth. That means that the moon will appear about 14% smaller and 30% dimmer than when it is at its closest point to Earth, which is known as perigee. (Livescience.com)

LETS END KILLER WHALE CAPTIVITY!!

Please research the captive killer orcas that the SEAWORLD franchise holds captive. It is animal cruelty at it's worst. Those killer whales need to be FREE, NOT HELD CAPTIVE BY us humans and forced to do 'tricks' for our amusement. (and to make SEAWORLD a lot of money. ) Please go watch BLACKFISH when y'all have time okay? also read "Killer at Seaworld". You will learn so much and I doubt if you ever pay entrance fees to enter SEAWORLD or any of it's affiliate parks again.........because you will learn what the money really goes for........PROFIT. Their profit...........the poor whales gain nothing. But life captivity. Sad lonely lives in bathtub size enclosures where they cant even interact with their own pods and offspring normally. Many of them are so sick and die very painful deaths.The 'breeding' program is a joke. They are not even allowed to procreate in a natural and normal manner. The whales that were caught in the wild were taken from their pods and their mothers in a very cruel and inhumane fashion---it is heartbreaking. It's awful sad. Please research and then let me know what you think, okay? Whales are magnificent creatures, I love them. I tell everybody it's okay to love them and to want to go see them......but please go to areas where you can view them in the wild either from the beaches or cliffs or from boats. Not from cement swimming pools where they are mis-treated, gawked at, and forced to 'perform'. God created them and intended for them to exist in the seas! They really need to remain free........................
