It is also Opening Day at the Track.

.

And he has gone to work, for a couple of hours, in the family drug store.   He doesn't have to.   He wants to.  It gets him down in the center of town, on the Big Opening Day.

.

Where he has been, for the last 58 years...

I award myself, a GOLD STAR!!!! :-)))

Autumn advertising...  Already....   Oh I suppose stores are full of back-to-school stuff.  But I don't go into stores, except when I need something.  So I haven't seen it.  But here came the on-line Victorian Trading Co. mail.  And silly me, it caught me off guard. 

.

Then again, why am I surprised at Autumn selling?  The Black Eyed Susans are beginning to bloom.  And they are a late Summer into Fall flower.

.

Getting a "lot of mileage" out of these lovely Tuberous Begonias in the big pot, on the front step...  :-)   We always put these flowers, in this pot, and they always thrive.  This is facing North, and does not get hardly any direct sunlight.  It stays quite moist.  They just love it!

.

There!!!  I award myself a Gold Star.

.

I got through a post,
.
without a rant.

Tonight is the Full Thunder Moon.  So obviously, the Native American Indians who lived where I live, experienced many thunder storms, at this time of year.

And here are some pretty Faerie illustrations, which she feels are important too.  :-)

Important to keep to our usual ways, and to show beauty.  And not let all the hate, constantly drag us down.

.

So here are the pretty flowers photos....   I'll tell you, my heart is not fully in this....   Showing beauty thing....

.

I am still furious...   Yesterday...  "A 17 year old Afghan asylum seeker who police say carried out an ax attack on a German commuter train pledged loyalty to the Islamic State before slashing at least 5 people, according to a video released Tuesday by the Islamic State."

.

And Obama and Hillary, keep bringing them into our country!!!!!   HOW  DO  I  JUST  POST  PRETTY????
