Oct. 19th – Music Monday

It’s another new week, another new Monday and you know what that means! I came across this video on Youtube the other day and thought it would be a good candidate for a Halloween video for this month of October. Some may think it’s not all that frightening but I think it definitely could be considered disturbing, or at the very least, an assault on the eyes…and ears for some. I’m sure you will get a kick out of the “soloist”.

Oct. 12th – Music Monday

Well maybe just eat candy, not really into the blood and gore of horror movies, but I do like a good suspenseful movie, just don’t need the other stuff that most think a horror movie needs.

I thought about posting a song about October or had the word October in the title, and then I thought well maybe I should look for a song that had Columbus in it since it’s Columbus Day, but I wasn’t in the mood to google to look for one. However, one is always in the mood for a little Roy Orbison…. or they should be, such a talent!

2fer Tuesday

Just a few things that have something in common.

Blue? Purple? Somewhere in between? You decide, but I thought it was close enough to count as two plants in similar shades. Hydrangeas and asters…

Shades of red, or starting to turn red. Along with being two different varieties of sedum. One upright, one more of a creeper.

Two plants in shades of yellow. I took these two pics last week intending to post but never got around to it. The wild sunflowers are still blooming, but the goldenrod is starting to turn and isn’t as vibrant yellow as it was. Interesting enough, the trees haven’t started to turn much in color yet at the moment, except for the walnut trees which never do turn a pretty color, but the leaves just seem to shrivel up and drop early.

I’m sure there is more out there to take pics of, but I was in a hurry, my nosey neighbors were out, and I was being followed by a kitty, (also yellow) who kept demanding treats.

Have a good week bloggers!

Oct. 5th – Music Monday

Isn’t that the truth? A couple of mornings have gotten to just below 50 and it has me ready to close things up and turn on the furnace. Thankfully we have been warming up into the 70’s by the afternoon, but I am not looking forward to the colder weather that will be showing up soon.

I came across this song/video on Youtube yesterday, and it is such an upbeat song and fun video that I decided to post it for today. Mondays can use all they help they can get to put one in a good mood.

Music Monday – Sept. 28th

Hard to believe it is the last Monday of September. I only hope winter goes as fast as this past month has gone. Hopefully we don’t get the amount of moisture we have had this month, or I will never get dug out this winter. Over 16 days of rain and finally sun is forecast for today and then the moisture moves back in, ugh!

For this last Monday of September I went looking for a song about Autumn to fit in with the theme for the month. I came across this oldie from back in the 70’s. It does have that melancholy feeling that autumn always brings…

Sept 21st – Music Monday

It’s been awhile since I posted anything from this musical group. Hmm, come to think of it, not sure if I have ever. But I wanted a song that was peppy to get one humming and tapping along so I chose this song from ABBA…. However, I don’t need a man after midnight, I would prefer one after 8 a.m. when I will have a long list of of chores for him to do, lol.

Music Monday – Sept. 14th

Good Grief, we are already half way through the month of September! This week looks rather wet so I won’t be getting a whole lot of outdoor fall chores done liked I hope. I’ve also got several appts. so most of the month is busy with other things. Such is life. Crossing my fingers that October is decent and I can still manage a few more things then.

I came across this song the other day and was impressed by the sound of this group. They are regulars I believe down in Branson and have a wonderful tight family harmony. I thought this was a great rendition of this old Eagle’s classic, and I hope you enjoy it as well!

Sept. 7 – Music Monday

As this Monday rolls around on Labor Day, I thought I would post a song about work/labor. I alot of songs came to mind, but this is the first one that popped into my mind. I remember when this duo was huge back in the day. Time sure does pass quickly the older you get!

Whatever you have planned for the day, I hope it is a good one and you get to take a break from any work! I have a few chores to do but then I am hoping to surf online and check out a few Labor Day sales. I’m thinking new curtains today and maybe some garden stuff. I’ll do my best to rein it in and not go to crazy.

Enjoy your Monday!

Aug 31st – Music Monday

Well here we are at the very last Monday of the month of August. Let’s hope the upcoming month is kind to all of us.

With Dolly Parton’s passing this week, I felt like I needed to post a song of hers. I absolutely love the harmony she did with the “Trio” of Linda Rondstat and Emmylou Harris. So many great songs they covered, but I think this one has to be my all time favorite.

Waiting for Fall…

Yes, it is currently flirting with 100 and the “feels like temp” is 108. I know many others across the country are dealing with high temps. Please remember to stay hydrated and put water out for the birds and other critters.

I’m waiting until almost dark before making a mad dash out there to water some planters on the West side. It’s still in full sun out there. Thank goodness I got most of the watering done this morning and the hummingbird feeders refilled. They are still migrating so if you are feeding them, make sure to change their feed out often as it spoils quickly with these hot temps.

Have a good week everyone!
