Just Married

Someone got married and their car was parked in front of a restaurant in a little town not far from here. I was tempted to go inside and check out the bride and groom, but did not. Bet anything they would have been pleased to have me take their picture.

Across the street from the wedding car, I saw this bear bait sign. Now I can't decide if I should call Gene OR Butch OR just let the bears go hungry.

Now here's a good idea if you're trying to sell a house. Put it up on wheels. That way, the buyer can hand you the cash, hook the house up to his truck and drive away. Don't think you can see it on the photo, but it does say SOLD at the bottom.

There are prettier scenes of Queen Anne's Lace, but this field was across the street from the house on wheels and I thought it looked pretty. QAL is everywhere around here during the month of August.

Here in the upper Midwest there aren't too many days left where a boy can run wild with his water gun while Lucky, the golden retriever, stands guard. The boy is my grandson and Lucky lives next door to me.

  1. The QAL is wonderful- always a favorite of mine. Your grandson is a doll, like always.

  2. Donna,
    I am such a fan of quirky and cute igns, you captured a litle bit of quaintness with these and I love it! I want call Butch about that bear bait.
    The field of QAL is lovely.
    I think your grandson likes waterguns as much as my son! He loves to shoot water down on me when he is standing on the deck.

  3. Donna,
    Now my computer is acting flaky with the typing. I mean signs.

  4. I am sooooooo grateful Joshua out grew water guns. Blessings are one thing, but water guns blessings ... well, I'd rather have the blessings ... chuckle!

    What a fun post, Donna. TTFN ~Marydon

  5. I love the QAL. We used to pick some and put them in vases - each with a different colored food coloring. The kids loved to watch the flowers turn the color of the water.

  7. I am laughing here! People can be so funny without even knowing they are giving folks a good hearty laugh! Good for us: laughter that is!

  11. You found all the silly spots in your town today, what fun! And I love the field of Queen Ann's Lace. I've been admiring ours for weeks, in every field we drive by. I agree with you that March leaves much to be desired, as does November. Blah!

  12. Love the house on wheels. Makes you want to follow it and see where it lives next. I keep water guns on the pontoon boat for my grandchildren and they have a ball shooting us and each other.
