Thoughtful Thinking Thursday #95~ Water on Its Way to the Creek

 Water flowing from the top of my house.....

 ..... and on its way to the creek behind my house.

 Did I put anything to pollute it.....

.... on its way to the creek?

I don't use herbicide or fertilizer.

I admit, I fight the ants.

We used to say the dirt filtered our water.

Does it still?

*******

Think about it.

Wordless Wednesday #221 ~ A Barn that Makes You Smile

 Everytime when we travel this way, usually going home,

this barn just south of Bardstown, KY, USA makes me smile.

It's been on that barn since back in the day when the "Smiley Face" came into our world.

Monday Memory 54 ~ Memory Dress Patterns

I was going through my many patterns the other day.

I've never gotten rid of a pattern, so I have every pattern I've ever used 

from high school.

I found the pattern I used in Home Economics to make my senior prom dress. 

It was like view 3 because I used trim on the neck and empire waist line.

It was yellow.

A couple of years later, I used the same pattern to make dresses for my 

maid of honor and brides maid. 

Above is my wedding dress pattern.

I used view A to make my wedding dress. 

It was a cotton with a layer of shear cotton.

Nothing super fancy.

It was an outdoor wedding.

I took pride in not spending much at all on my wedding.

It was a September wedding so on rehearsal night after we finished with the rehearsal,

the whole party went out in the field and picked golden rods to

 place in baskets I'd acquired from the throw away pile at the cemetery.  

Yes, I did.

The flowers & baskets were adorned with yellow ribbons.

Thus, the only flowers we paid for were the flowers I carried and the boutineers for the guys.

I thought it was a big success.

I notice these patterns were a dollar each.

Wait until you see how much the cost of patterns jumped for the next generation.
