Almost over...

 Playing in the garden one last time,
still have carrots and celery to pull
and if I'm lucky, some brussels sprouts...

 AND...my new strawberry bed...
you can never have enough,
so this new 10x10 bed will help
feed my addictions.

 Had to share this idea with ya...
why not use an old metal kitchen cabinet
for a chicken nesting box, since
the real ones are hard to find and pricey!

Now where shall I put this fence I
pulled out of a dumpster...heeheehee...

Patience...

 When Scratchy hears a mouse...
nothing gets in her way...

 When she kills her squeaky toys,
she know she's done her job...

 But in real life,
she's a natural born killer...
a mouser,

 and it's why I love my tenacious terrier...SCRATCHY!

Trying to stay focused...

 As I greet another sunrise...

 I try not to freak myself out
as military helicopters are more
everpresent in the sky...

 I try to focus on work
making the best of it
in the worst of times...

 Setting up a work station in the pink shack
for ol' man winters' indoor play time
more jewelry for the Candle Shed...

 I find myself wondering if I'll garden
 next year
if the soil will still be usable
after all the chemtrails have settled...
I'll grow more carrots if I'm still around...

 I'll continue to paint and sell furniture 
and dream the dreams...

and I'll continue to continue...

Alas poor Yorick...

 The witching hour will soon be here...

 but I'm getting a jump on it at

Sister's Garden...

 black painted furniture

as black as the night

decrepit skulls and warnings

of demons in flight...

 amber lighting softens the glow

you may try to hide

but there's no safe place to go...

 yummy new soaps in smokey gray hues,

Queen of the Nile

Twilight in the Woods

Moonlight Tuberose

to stir up your moods

 and just in case you're into the whites,

we have white tinted skulls

for your creeped out fright nights...

get yer ol' bones

out to Sister's Garden and Bloom

we're gittin' ready

for the fright nights of

Halloween gloom...

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...

SAD...

Yup, it's sad, but Manley's have been in the biz
for many years and want to retire...
sorta...

The sale will be going on till the 20th,
great deals to be had throughout the store...

 Still lots of cool stuff, I'm sure gonna miss 'um...

 and all the cool vignettes LeeAnn comes up with,

 She's one of the best in the biz and has a great eye
for the primitives...

One of Muscatine's best shops, they will be sorely missed...
but they will still be doing their booth at another shop
in Galesburg...you can never really get out of it...
it's in the blood!
