Lord, I Hope this Day Is Good...

I'm certainly eclectic in all areas of my life, 

and music is no exception.  

I love classical and contemporary, 

country and pop, 

poetic lyrics and rhythms that make your feet want to dance.

 Although I'm not at all feeling
"empty and misunderstood,"
the lyrics from
Lord, I Hope this Day Is Good
 have been running through my mind this morning.

Don William is a favorite, 

and Fee and I were lucky enough to see him
 years ago at the Strand Theater.
He is as personable and down-to-earth
as his music and lyrics.

Perhaps my very favorite D.W. song 
(and I know I've posted about this one before) is

Good Old Boys Like Me: 

  

"When I was a kid, Uncle Remus would put me to bed..."  

Uh, huh.  Me, too.
And how I loved the Briar Patch and the Tar Baby.

Good Old Boys that Don Williams mentions include:

 The "Williams boys, Hank and Tennessee," 

 Wolfman Jack

 (born in Brooklyn, 

the Wolfman was actually a DJ in Shreveport in the 60's),

and Thomas Wolfe...  

Don Williams runs the Southern Gamut:
Country and Literary.

I've been trying some new projects, 
leaving so many WIPs abandoned
for the moment.

Thanksgiving decorations don't inspire 
the same enjoyment as other holidays.
Turkeys and Pilgrims are nice,
but kind of generic.
I mean,
you can't really mess with the idea of
Thanksgiving like you can with
Halloween.

But I do love autumn decorations.
The season of lovely leaves
(although that doesn't seem to be 
happening this year in our area), pumpkins, 
goldenrod, scarecrows, hot chocolate, 
soups, hayrides, and comfort foods.
So much for which to be thankful.

I glued birch bark to a tin can

 and used it as a vase.

Of course,

it can't remain here in the Evil Triad's 

sunning spot,

but must go on a shelf, out of reach.

I removed all of the book page butterflies
from this wreath and replaced them
with autumn leaf shapes.

Another quick and easy project.
Well, except for cutting out the leaves....


Have a great day, y'all!
