Grapevine Fences

While I was at my daughter's and we were visiting the Vineyard, I took some pictures of the grapevines on the fences.

September

September

by Helen Hunt Jackson

The golden-rod is yellow

The corn is turning brown

The trees in apple orchards

With fruit are bending down.

I learned this poem way back in grade school.  We used to take field trips in the fall down to the river...about a mile from the school.  On the way we would see the golden rod in the ditch and the corn in the fields.  I always loved those trips.

That is as much of the poem as I can remember.  But I always think of it in September.

A few more pictures of Fall.

I hope you are all having a good September so far.  I am loving this cooler, drier weather.  It helps my breathing.

Thanks for stopping.  See you next time.

South Dakota Barn

I snapped a photo of this old South Dakota barn on my way back from Sioux Falls

I had an angiogram in Sioux Falls because I had failed a stress test.  The angiogram showed everything was fine with my heart!  That's the good news.  But still don't know what's causing  the shortness of breath when I exert myself.  They are thinking it may be exercise induced asthma.  So I'll be having more tests.  Good excuse for sitting around, not doing much.  :0)

Thanks for all your prayers and concern.  Have a great week.  I'll try and catch up on all your posts.

Until next time.

Abby and Brittany

I first saw Abby and Brittany in the grocery store in Waconia when I lived there.  I couldn't believe my eyes as they walked down the isle toward me.  They are conjoined twins. They smiled and said hi as I stared at them wide eyed.
Several years later they babysat my grandkids for 2 summers. I got to meet them and am amazed at what these girls can do.  It was fun to watch them work together and use the computer.  Many times they would give the same answer at the same time to a question.

They are staring in a reality show starting tonight on TLC at either 8 or 9 pm.  If you want to be amazed at what these conjoined twins can do, watch the show.  Let me know what you think.  You can read a little about them and see a video  here.  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/11/conjoined-twins-abby-and-brittany-hensel_n_1760552.html

Barn Charm 100

On the way to the winery, when I was at my daughter's, I spied this old barn through the trees.  I turned around to get a few pics.

I'll be taking another little break.  I've been having some health issues and am going to Sioux Falls for tests and perhaps a procedure.  I will let you know the results when I get them.  I'll visit and comment when I have time.  Have a great week.

Until next time

Surprise at the Winery

My daughter had told me about a new winery on the north shore of Lake Waconia.  I decided to check it out.  This is the first thing I saw as I drove in.  A big black barn, horses and fence.  I've never seen a black barn in Minnesota.

I went back to the winery with my daughter and her boyfriend and I'll show those pictures later.

Back to the 50's

One of the fun things I did with my grandson, Kiefer, and my daughter's boyfriend, Randy, was to go to an old car show.  It was held at a drive-in restaurant that has been in existence since the 1950's.  They still serve food and were playing 50's music. It was fun to see all the old cars, since I grew up in the 50's.  I'm not sure what the oldest car there was.

Here is Kiefer with Randy's 1952 Chevy.

Here are a few of the other cars that were there.

There were many more cars.  I just couldn't photograph them all.   I hope you enjoyed seeing them as much as I did.

Thanks for stopping by.  Until next time.

Yellow Barn

I'm back after having a great time with my daughter and grandchildren.  I'll show pictures later.  I also spent time with my cousin.  We were out looking for garage sales when we spotted this yellow barn.  We drove in and asked the lady if we could photograph her barn.  She was happy to let us.  She said the barn was her pride and joy. She and her husband had restored it and added a new roof twice.  I'm sure glad they did because it is a beauty.
