We adopted a 14pound rescue Terrier mix (Teddy) two years ago. A few months later we then found a 75 pound rescue Doberman (Logan) in need of a home. The boys got along great and so we adopted Logan, too. Both were estimated to be about two years old when we got them. Two years later “The Boys” are still the best of buddies, and we love them both! We are so blessed!


These two lazy things were known as Mylo and Maynard. Mylo (the one with white) was Mr Mellow…Maynard had a couple screws loose!! A little manic and couldn’t quite get with the program.


We had a rat named Ralph. One of our dogs was at the time was a Bullmastiff X. Ralph would hide from the other dogs dogs but would lay between Belle's paws while she would groom him, wrapping her tongue around him like a burrito.

"Stay away. Don’t tune in."
But I can't completely tune it out -- I still need to go to the grocery store...

"...just don’t make yourself sick over it."
Who said I was making myself sick over it? I said I'm sick of it.
I think you're missing the point of this thread -- the Christmas feeding frenzy is getting earlier and earlier every year.

Timberline has a program where you upload a photo of your house and can try different colored shingles. A soft, light gray would look great on your home. Brown seems wrong.

stone homes, the first media operation I looked at in your link makes me question the rest of it.
I view NPR as left-leaning and hardly in the middle of the road as it suggests. Media outlets that try to keep a balance, as with NY Times' Op-Ed department, have representatives of the spectrum of opinions. NPR seems not to bother doing so.
I consider myself to be mostly in the middle (with some exceptions) and I long ago decided that NPR's views were too extreme and off-putting for me to want to listen to its broadcasts. Maybe others feel differently.

Thanks for starting the thread, @Sherry8aNorthAL.

Beautiful pictures and it has been an absolutely gorgeous fall - we are just past peak color in northeast Ohio. This is my cornfield from a few moments ago - the corn worn't be harvested until sometime in mid November, it is still partially green.

My great-great grandparents bought this place back in 1892 and I am 5th generation here.



I tried to get one of my hens to sit in a KFC bucket for a picture but she wouldn't have anything to do with it. Not sure why. LOL

Indigo Rose ~ I believe mine was/is known as Cimicifuga racemosa species, possibly 'Brunette', altho I no longer recall what I bought so long ago.

My apologies for not having the technological capability to post a link -- I am an elderly neophyte when it comes to that sort of talent. I did manage to become familiar with horseless carriages - tho I do not drive them - and I no longer haul the laundry to the creek to scrub, but the workings of most things in this modern world puzzle & defeat me. My brain simply will not function in the direction of technology. Sad, so sad, but I manage to live with the dysfunction. So far! =)
And the flowere are still scenting the whole kitchen this morning. Woo-hoo!

Like so many birds gathering.
