I hope everybody is enjoying November.
Enjoying a walk on a dirt road recently:
 |
| some pretty little flowers |
This was on a Sunday, so after church, a nap, and coffee, I settled in with some magazines and new catalogues which are now arriving daily, hoping for Christmas sales. Do y'all get alot of catalogues? I love to browse through them, even if I'm not ordering. |
| some fun Christmas sweaters here |
 |
| those furry wraps look cozy! |
 |
| Lots of pretty stuff to look at |
This was a page in one of them.....lots of the pretty doors in Charleston, I thought that was neat! I showed it to Mr. Front Porch, and he told me I've stood at and photographed pretty much every one of those doors, ha ha LOL. |
| I think I recognize all of these! |
Thanksgiving is on the way and I send Merry Thanksgiving wishes to you and your loved ones!
We've already shopped for our Thanksgiving supper and I can't wait to cook it, LOL.
OHHH, to gain entry via that RED DIRT ROAD!! Pray tell me that it's your Iron-bearing land that gives that henna-hue to the ground, instead of the decades of hauled-in-red-gravel that accommodated the horses, buggies, and then the cars and pickups and tractors of your neighbors' travel. I DO LOVE A RED ROAD.
ReplyDeleteOur Delta Dust was kinda greyish all over the billowing fields of plows and harrows, but our roads of my childhood gradually took on that HILL RED color.
Almost all our kin were HILL folks, with us right on the dividing line between Delta Flat and the hills of our ancestors' raisings. I don't think we ever visited kin out there without the minutely-microscopic grit of road-dust between my back teeth. That hill-dust was different, somehow, from Delta dust---ours would billow out behind your car, but you could still SEE the car. The iron-clad Hill Dust cloud grew as you went, into this opaque screen obscuring road and landmarks, and marking your passage like a great tawny-red bubble floating down the road.
I will, however confess that I scrolled FASTFAST through your catalog pages---shopping for clothes is the Second Bane of my life, and those colorful pages don't BRIGHT me at all. Give me the toy pages, the shower curtains, the kitchen gadgets and great piles of fruitcakes and the accompanying tiny sausages and cheese nibbles that seem to shrink exponentially from year to year, til I fancy Harry and David will be shrunk as well, sharing real estate with the Keebler Elves.
THOSE are the catalogs I look forward to.
Happy Thanksgiving! I have a turkey breast already thawing in the downstairs fridge, but when we finally opened our 2023-ordered new Air Fryer last month, I misplaced the little rotisserie rods, and so we may have to resort to an oven bake after all. Much love to you and yours, r
Loved catching up with you and wishing you a blessed Thanksgiving!!
ReplyDeleteSomehow I missed this post again. I don't know why they slip past my feed. I love seeing you walking on the road, and I love the photos of the doors in Charleston...I know I've seen you post them in the past. So colorful! I love the catalog pages and magazines. I don't get many catalogs because I rarely order from them, but it's fun to see what they have. Nothing like the old time Sears and Roebuck and JC Penney catalogs we used to pore over when we were kids and they sent the Christmas catalogs, right? Oh how I loved those!!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Ours was marvelous, but I've been paying the price ever since with this walking pneumonia. Hopefully this will pass soon so I can get on with the Christmas activities that are piling up! God wants me to "Be Still and KNow That I am God" during this season. I'm trying not to stress over things. Praying for you and yours during this holiday time. Love to all.
