Good Morning Peeps! We have been having some gloriously “Virginia Fall-ish” weather the last few days……………Mom says the leaves are TIRED of being green and staying on the trees and are “giving it up” and she may be right. She snapped these in the backyard over the past few days. Anybody needing a “Fall Fix” – help yourself!
Mom and I worked on the Haunted House a little bit……….but not a lot – she says there’s plenty of time and I say why wait until the last minute?? We also photoshopped TWENTY (so far) entries in my Caber Toss for Kyla’s Highland Games on October 27th. TWENTY!!! They’re way cool too – just wait until you see them all in the slideshow I’ll be posting for the event……Mom and I giggle every time we look at them if THAT’s any sort of a hint what you’ll have in store!! It’s not too late to send me your head shot photo if you wanna be included in the fun. Just email to me at junekimm (AT) AOL (DOT) com. Need an update on what Kyla’s Highland Games is all about? Click below!
Now for the reminder that tomorrow will be our usual Tuesday Teaser…………..as if you needed reminding. I think you guys get as excited as I do about Tuesdays and this Tuesday it’s a photo from my parents’ photo albums – not a Guest although we have some doozies lined up for future blogs with Guest Teasers so be FOREWARNED!
TEASER TUESDAY!
SO – remember – the post for tomorrow’s Teaser goes “live” at a random time chosen by my very capable assistant “Mom” – so you just never know when it will pop up – be on the alert – you wanna be first – you KNOW you do!
Mom is ending this post with a little something we did together using FOTOR………….since I had colorful photos of Fall, we went black/white with this…….just for funzies!
Have a glorious Monday – I hope it’s colorful like MINE will be!
Hugs, Sammy

My Mom actually likes the word Autumn better than Fall but then on the other hand all we have is stuff falling (leaves) so it makes sense to just call it what it is – FALL!
