Beautiful.... Late Summer Morning in Iowa.
Another Incredible Morning... in Iowa.

Somehow... Coffee tastes even Better,
Crisp... late Summer, mornings...
outside.

Sat... under John's Old Oak, admiring his 'sheds'.

Got a little trimmin' done, yesterday.
Took the little Bose speaker... outside, set it on The Ford... and
Rocked...
to
Dwight Yoakam...
while Gettin' Pretty Aggressive with The Brush!
: ) : ) : )
Was gettin' pretty shaggy... around The Rabbit Hole.
Couldn't hardly keep up, this year.
Have a Long Way... to Go, before Fall Harvest Sale...
Time.
Was planning on working there, again... today, but...
received a call, from a Girl... while trimming, who is in need of some HELP, advise... at least...
for an Estate Sale, in North East... Iowa.
so...
Pal, Bill... and I, are heading to see her this morning.
Couldn't say no.
Sounds like she's in a mess.
: (
The Dear Friend, I wrote about... yesterday, was admitted to the hospital.
Was relieved to hear that.
: )
Hopefully...
there will be some...
Rest... Rest... Rest.
: )
Pickin' up more Tomatoes... from The Farmer Gal, this morning, before Bill and I head North.
: )
They are The Best!!

The Beautiful People.
Was up... early, early... this morning.
It's an Incredible Morning.
Sat outside... under John's Old Oak...
sippin' Coffee, watching the steam roll off of it.
First time... this year.
{Won't be many of 'these' days... left.}
Didn't even bother to get dressed. Wore my old... old... men's flannel bath robe...
miss matched socks... figured I'd scare most anyone away, who decided to visit before 7 a.m.
: )
{did wash my face, and brush my hair... just in case. : ) }
Miss. Peanut... enjoyed basking in the early morning rays.
: )
<3
It's lovely... here, before the Highway gets rollin'.
<3
Friend, Pam... shared the above with me a long time ago.
: )
Truer words were never written.
I've sure been Blessed, to have had... and to Have...
some 'Beautiful'... People, cross my path, for sure.
<3 <3 <3
Sure have been thinking a lot... about Our... Peg.
<3
Mary Sellon, too.
<3
Wrote a long post, yesterday... then, deleted it all.
: (
{Fell down a 'Rabbit Hole', that wasn't so good. : ( }
Posted about the wonderful Tomato Refrigerator Relish.... I threw together, yesterday.
: )
The Tomatoes... from The Farm Gal, are Outstanding!!
Working on the yard, today.
Cutting Brush.
Wanted to get some of that done, yesterday... but, couldn't make it happen.
Have to start preparing for The Fall Harvest Sale.
{October 3 - 6 }
Want to get Every Building OPEN, this Fall.
{oh... dear. }
May not get much done... here, today... either.
Received a text, a little after 6 a.m., concerning a Dear Friend, that was taken to the hospital, this morning.
Waiting for an update.
I've been very concerned about my Friend.
<3
Prayers...
Prayers...
Prayers.
<3
Better get crackin'.
Love to Ya...
Prayers for All.

'And In Our Dreams... Oh What We See'.
Indeed.
; )
Above... is a Beautiful Gourd, Our Peg...
'The Mad March Hare'
<3
Created for
'The Mad Hatter', in 2010... after I shared Quite a Dream... I'd had, with her.
: )
: )
oh... my.
: )
In that Dream... I was attending an Amazing Farm Auction.
: )
A Tom Sandersfeld Auction.
; )
I was Beyond... Excited, at that Auction.
There was UNBELIEVABLE Primitives... there.
{in my Dream}
: )
the Bad News....
Every Single Time... I tried to speak, or 'Bid'... on an item...
some of my teeth would fall out.
?????????
It was like my mouth was Filled with Gravel.
'Teeth'
: ( : ( : (
?????
WHERE Does 'THAT' Kinda 'Sh!t... Come From???
Hahahahahahaha!!!
Hahahahahahaha!!!
Peg ROARED... when I shared That... Dream, with her, then...
Surprised me with the Beautiful 'Dream Gourd'.
<3 <3 <3
{Peg... 'Stole' the above Necklace out of my Stash, I'd set aside... at a Sale, here... that Pal, Bart...
had brought.
I... Couldn't Understand... Where... That Necklace had Gone, when I went to pay for it.
?????
Peg SWORE Everyone to Silence, at The Money Table, where I set my 'stash'.
: )
They All had to Lie to Me, as I was LOSING my Mind... Frantically...
Searching for That Amazing Necklace!!!
Hahahahahahaha!!!
Peg... later, said... She 'Had' to Have 'That' Necklace...
when she saw me it set aside...
for The 'Dream Gourd', because the tiny Hearts, and Moons reminded Peg... of 'Teeth'!!!
Hahahahahaha!!!}
<3 <3 <3
Priceless.
<3
I've been having some VERY... Vivid Dreams, recently.
They Seem So Real, sometimes... when I wake up... wonder, if... I was actually sleeping.
WOW
The Good News....
They've been Very... Very... Good Dreams.
; )
and...
haven't lost one single tooth, in any of 'em.
; )
Thanks So Much to The Awesome Gents, at The Blairsferry Road AT&T Store...
Today!!!
Oh My Gosh!!!
Grandson, Justin... was having HUGE Issues with a phone, and an AT&T phone card...
he purchased at The Dollar General, two days ago.
{GADS!!!! : ( : ( : (
When Purchasing a Phone... in my opinion... Go To a Phone Store!!
; )
not a.... 'dollar general'.
: (
The Dollar General... wouldn't let him return, or exchange the unused phone card.
I... get the phone, not being able to be returned... but, the unused card???
hmmm.
: (
The Awesome AT&T Guys... Got Everything Set Up!!
; )
Grandson, Justin... was So Grateful... He Shook Their Hands With a Monster Grip!!
: )
It was a MESS!! Even for The Pros!!
GADS!!
: (
'Phone Stores'...

Perfect.
I'll never forget... when John shared the above... with me, on FB.
; )
John... was being a little... sarcastic, with 'Barbara'.
: )
{John... was Gifted, to say the very least... with, let's just say....
A 'dry'...
and Extremely...
Quick, sense of humor.}
; )
<3
John shared the above... after... we had a bit of a...
well, 'tense' moment.
<3
; )
John had been so ill... fighting what we thought was vertigo... from January... thru, the first part of March, 2014.
only....
to find out...
the 'vertigo', John...was suffering so horribly... from,
wasn't from an inner ear issue, it was from a cancerous tumor on his brain.
{won't 'go there'... today. : ) }
I... pushed John, pretty hard... during that 'journey'.
Oh My Lord....!!! He'd Get So Angry with me...
when... I insisted... he 'walk'... shower.... and... get dressed, daily.
: )
John...
was hurting... so weak... it hurt me...
to
Push John, more... than he could've ever known.
: ( : ( : (
I...just knew,
{thought... I did. : ( }
if...
John didn't keep 'moving', he'd be done.
: (
John... Hated It... when I brushed his hair.
: ( : ( : (
{CAREFULLY... So Carefully, Especially... after the surgery.}
<3
Had We All Known...
John, would leave us... on May 25, '14....
Trust Me...
'Things' would've been Much 'Different' around 'Home'.
; )
The Lucky Strike Stogie Smoke... would Still... be Hangin' in The Air.
<3 <3 <3
{it... kinda, still... is. : ) }
Here's The Deal.
Ain't One of 'Us'... Gettin' Outta 'Here'... 'Alive'.
; )
We're All... 'terminal', from our Very First Breath.
Life is Short.
We'd Better 'Live' It.
; )
and...
never forget,
You Don't Require Anyone's Approval,
to...
Live It.
: )
<3 <3 <3
{Thanks to John Helm, for posting...
Jack, and the perfect message. ; ) }
Love to Ya...
Prayers for All.
