So cute !!

I fell in love with this cute 

little Dirty Faced Drama Queen.

who was playing in the bleachers at our 

last soccer game,

The whole world is her oyster...

Fall is soooo close

Our Eldest Son grew him some corn for the second year in a row, and they really came out good.

A lot better then last year and I'm sure not as well as next year.

However, this year we all had a ball with the harvest.

His handsome little patch

nice big juicy ears...

...all his plants in a nice row.

Three of our lovely Grandbabies,

Naomi, Janae, and Zach

And Grandpa's Harvest picture.

The total history of almost anyone would shock almost everyone.

One of the things I really enjoy is taking

candid photos of people in the crowd.

I took the opportunity to do just that 

at the last soccer game.

I get a kick out of soccer.

Today we had to privilege and fun of  watching

a dear friends of our's Son start

his second year of soccer.

Ian is #9

he was really aggressive and played well.

he also played goalie ..

and held his own there too.

he played his little heart out.

and I bet he takes a good nap when he gets home.

A little pre-fall follage

I got my new glasses today after 

my cataract surgery. And EVERYTHING

was so clear and fresh...

My honey and I took a little 

ride in the cool fall air..

I couldn't help myself, I had to stop.

The colors were so bright and vibrant...

...and my shutter finger was going crazy.

okay, so I modified this one a little...

The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.

Almost on a daily routine, I pass the old

home of a dear neighbor who passed

not long ago.

with his passing so has his home slowly

died with him...

yet, life goes on.

Tell them dear, that if eyes were made for seeing, Then beauty is its own excuse for being

Sometimes true beauty just 

can't be explained in words.

Families are like fudge - mostly sweet with a few nuts.

Quietly I made a couple of portraits of our

eldest Grandson Tayler 

and his Sister Kelsey.

Kelsey is in her Senior year of high school.

Both are wonderful kids
