Welcome to another photo collection of life in the Ozarks!
TitmouseThis blue-tailed skink was FAST!Autumn has come to our river birches.Beautiful yellow mum.Bringing the season to the front porch.Cooler weather means it’s time for soup π.My mid-afternoon snack as I enjoy the leaves falling all around.The last Pineapple Whip of the year π’.I made these little pajama bags last month πΉ.It took two weeks to finish because my MS wasn’t very cooperative, but I finally finished my new robe yesterday π»!I guess Laudy approves.A couple of weeks ago, I finished reading Andrew Carroll’s My Fellow Soldiers about General John Pershing and his leadership/relationship with the American troops during World War I. Unlike most of my generation, my grandfather was a soldier in WWI (he and my grandmother didn’t have my dad until late in life). Grandpa Frank fought on the front lines with a Browning Automatic Rifle during the six-and-a-half week, bloody Meuse-Argonne in the last major battle of the war. My Dad has a lot of his memorabilia including this photo showing him missing a button on his woolen uniform coat. Grandpa Frank shown among his fellow soldiers of the 89th Division, 354th Infantry, Company I.Ready for Mess somewhere in France.Grandpa sailed on this requisitioned passenger ship to France in April of 1917.Grandpa’s pocket watch survived, just like he did.I don’t know what he used this little box for, but it looks like it was well loved.Y.M.C.A. receipts after he got home.
No post is complete without my two favorite cats!
