Halloween

Our Jack O' Lanterns for 2009.

 

Last Halloween

I was reading Granny Sue's blog and she posted some pictures she took in Grafton this weekend. One of them was loaded with orbs. It reminded me of the evening Freddie and I spent at the cemetery next to Glenville State College last year on Halloween. Here are a couple of pictures with orbs. I think if they had been insects, they would have been in all the pictures. Plus, I'm a bug magnet and I didn't come home with any bites.

Glenville!

I think CreateWV did a great job on this!

Ramps! The King of Stink

I'm still trying to get this to post to my facebook page.

You can now follow my website on Facebook or Twitter. I'll try my best to upload the dinner info.

Unfortunately, neither Hacker Valley or Reynoldsville will be having fall ramp dinners. Hope everyone has some in their freezer. Sadly, I don't.

I'm so negligent!

I really should post more often! I went to the Aurora ramp dinner again this past spring but had no camera! My trusty camera of 4 1/2 years just went kaput! At the dinner I met up with Tom and his wife, Jonell. I couldn't do "Ramps! The King of Stink" without Tom. For the last 5 years or so, he has kept a constant watch on the WV newspapers and listened to local radio stations as he has traveled around the state. He sniffs out dinners that I would never find out about while I'm living in Maryland. It was finally good to put a face to his name. But since I had no camera, I don't have a picture!




















I finally did get a new camera in June. I took this awesome picture at the carnival grounds one night.





















I just realized why I'm so negligent. I have trouble putting the pictures where I want them. And it takes forever to upload them.

Anyhow, saw this down the road a couple of weeks ago. Sundogs? I'm not sure if they have to be roundish or not.




















I have a yard fowl now! This guinea actually belongs to the menagerie across the road but he likes to visit during the day. There used to be three of them. I don't know what happened to the other two. My cat's afraid of him even though he's a big fraidy cat. He runs every time I go near him. I saw the guinea and a squirrel sitting right next to each other the other morning. The guinea was eating some seeds from a weed and the squirrel was enjoying some popcorn that I had thrown in the yard.

1930's Marital Scale

It's official. I'm a poor wife! Must be because I don't iron his clothes.

41 As a 1930s wife, I am Poor Take the test!

My DH

I just wanted to say something about Jimmy's hobby. The last couple of years, he's been taking pottery classes at the Frederick Pottery School. Here he is doing his thing! Someone at the school took this picture.



This past winter he took a wood fired class for the second time. It's held at Monocacy Pottery. Here he is stoking the kiln. Debbi, one of the ladies in the class, took this picture.




It gets really hot in the kiln. Debbi took this picture also.




Doesn't he do lovely work. This little vase was from the last class.
