Aren't these walnut trees pretty?
They are at the farm we buy our produce from.
They have big community events all the time throughout the year.
They are now gearing up for the Christmas season.
What's been eating these leaves?
The "shamrocks" enjoy cool wet weather.
We've been having some mild rain since yesterday. No big storm.
On one side of the patio, the sky looks like this.
The other side -
One more coat of paint on the posts and it will be done.
The curtains will get hung and we'll put everything in its place.
I just got tired of the white posts -
I forgot to mention - when I painted the ceiling fan and all, I found a crack in the glass lights - so we had to use the old ones. I don't care for them and will look for cheap/free replacements after the new year. They seem to be stained just from the years.
What can I say? It bugs me...
A few years ago I saw an outdoor ceiling fan that used clay pots as the shades.
It was so cute!
My husband said they might be too heavy and I hate to admit it, but he's right.
I'm now leaning toward painting them. They do make spray paint made for glass...That's probably what I will do. It's less expensive than trying to hunt for 5 clay pots - the size that would accommodate the bulbs.
Two Emu out for a stroll. I don't think their owners knew they were out. The animal control came out and they caught them after they gave them quite the struggle.
This really touched my heart.
As always I will continue to pray for Israel
and AGAINST the Antisemitism that is rising up around the world.
Good grief, emu as pets there!! I hope you have great luck with the rest of the project!
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking they must be pets.
DeleteThe walnut trees are so pretty! I love the emu strolling down the street. :)
ReplyDeleteThat last photo touches me too. I stand with Israel.
It looks like they are escaping.
DeleteI would be so surprised to meet that pair walking on my road. That's a beautiful train. And you are so right, we must fight against all this hatred and discrimination.
ReplyDeleteMany here have ostrich's and those types of birds -
DeleteNice seeing the two emus walking down the road made me smile, not something I would see around here as emus are not seen in the suburbs
ReplyDeleteI believe the are pets.
DeleteThat's something you don't see every day, a couple of emus walking down the street!!
ReplyDeleteInstead of clay pots perhaps you could used the plastic kind?
That's a good thought.
DeleteThanks for sharing all of your photos. The patio is looking great. I can't believe those were walking down the street!
ReplyDeleteWe'll have less to do come spring. Next summer we have to devote to our front yard which we neglected due to the back.
DeleteOh wow, those emus must have been a sight in the neighborhood! So glad you got some rain! Your sky photo is pretty. I like your idea of painting the posts black, that's different. That would have warmed my heart to see that train decorated at the farm. I have a soft spot for trains, as my grandfather worked for the railroad. Look at those walnut trees in full Autumn color! I wonder what has gotten your shamrock leaves? Let us know if you find out.
ReplyDeleteHave a good November week, Debby.

Thanks Sheri. The rain was nice and now we're enjoying sunshine and 70 degrees.
DeleteI love the black fan and the posts! Funny seeing the emus walking down the street!
ReplyDeleteThanks - it's different and I just wanted more pop
DeleteWow, do the people that own the emus raise them for meat, or eggs? Or are they just pets?
ReplyDeleteI like the black posts.
God bless.
some raise them for meat but I believe these 2 were pets
DeleteWow, those Emus make my Sand Hill Cranes look like little birds...I'm glad they were able to corral them. They can be quite difficult to handle. Love all the work you've been doing...you are very industrious. Did you ever read one of my recent posts https://pamelasopenwindow.blogspot.com/2023/11/friday-foto-friends-novemberthe-season.html I had a message in it for you about the Bald Cypress trees and some pictures of some here. Those are the trees that I believe your clock was made from. Oh, that picture of the wall of faces in Israel touches my heart too. Continuing in prayer for Israel and Antisemitism here and everywhere.
ReplyDeleteYes I just went over to read. I guess I missed your post. I'm running behind. Those trees are different and I know my folks said the trees were from Florida. In fact, I believe there is a stamp on the backside of the clock. One day I'll actually look...
DeleteEmu can be really mean!!! I met a lady who had a chunk of her leg missing from an Emu!!!
ReplyDeleteI am praying along with you!!!
Carla
OM Goodness, that is awful. Yeah they can be mean, I have heard that.
DeleteWell definitely not a sight you would see every fay with those emus. Am not a fan of walnut trees. The squirrels here hide them for their Winter food and most times they forget where they hid them and then we have small trees that pop up. The seed pods to these trees are also vert messy...but they have a nice fall color to them. Cute locomotive! Janice
