Decisions, Decisions for Fun Monday October 8


Oh please help me make a decision. VOTING CLOSED. AN OCTOBER VIEW - YOUR OCTOBER VIEW IS THE HANDS DOWN WINNER

Robin had a wonderful idea last week about writing of a childhood book, or any book for that matter that left a forever memory.

I really want to revisit Fun Monday's origin and see the beauty of spring or fall (depending in which hemisphere you reside) from your front door, or back door or side door or any view you want to share close to your home.

The hubby thinks the story of your "first kiss" should be the assignment. I don't think I've ever told him about mine, even though he has shared his story. (His is better.)

Please vote! I should know by Wednesday morning which way the blogosphere leans.


What should be the subject of October 8 Fun Monday?
The first book that impressed me or that I remember from my childhood.
October View from My Front Porch
My first Kiss

October 8 is Columbus Day - and a holiday for me and many others. I hope that won't keep everyone from joining in.

Fun Monday is open to anyone who wants to join in the revelry.

Next Monday's Fun will be my maiden voyage! I'm excited and I voted for first kiss. The view from my front porch, eh... if you had said BACK porch, now we'd be talkin'.
Anyway, I'm another Pamela. Excited to be joining in :)

I'm conflicted. While I prefer the show and tell type Fun Mondays, we have done the View from the porch in both Summer and Winter.

I'd like to see "a view down my street".

Count me in. I voted for the easy one. The others will make me sit and write. And try to remember and oh how the memory is failing me some days!

I voted for the book option, but the picture out the door would be fine. As for the first kiss, well we will see.

When I voted the view post was easily wining and thats what I voted for also. I agree with Fianna the others would make me have to think and write more. Mondays are sometimes hard to get up as it is! Besides I've shown lots of back door pics I suppose I can do a front door one!

(**whispering**)

Shhh! I'm supposed to be on a blog break. Don't tell anyone I'm here. It is so funny that you wanted the view. I had volunteered with Robin to host next week and that would have been my request except from the back door. And then I read her post and saw the origin of FM and thought, ooo fun to come round circle. I prefer a back door view of our yards and beyond, though.

Anyway, I'm not here but I am signing up for Fun Monday. Thanks for hosting.

I voted for first kiss story, mainly because I have a hilarious story on that subject. :) At least I think it's hilarious.

I voted the book option as we've done the porch. I'll join in but if it's the kiss I don't even remember so it couldn't have been very memorable!!

This week I can safely say I am in no matter what topic wins! I love the childhood book idea but I liked your fall view from the front/back door just a little more...I like the voting thing Robin started!
Thanks for hosting!!

Front porch all the way for me. It's a tad more nib nosey. Not that I like that kind of thing.

I'm torn between the book and the first kiss! So I haven't voted. I'd be happy to participate in either one of those. I wouldn't mind the Fall view from the front door, except I probably wouldn't get around to taking the photo and would end up opting out. To me? Writing something is much easier than wrestling with uploading photos when hubs isn't around to do it for me. ;)

I'm glad I'm not alone in voting for the picture from the front porch... I'm such a Peeping Tom. Heh.

An Old Cold Spot

Image
My brother Mike emailed me this photo last night.  He said this was a goodbye salute that he snapped today in his garage where this old freezer has been chugging away since 1988.  That was the year our mama decided she was tired of bending over and digging through it.  Besides, she no longer needed the capacity and hadn't for several years. Mike and my sister-in-law  spent the next 25 years "digging" through this old freezer.  My sis-in-law was very good at keeping it and the cupboards stocked.  The two of them kept promising each other that "It is going to die soon, so we will just keep it until that day." Twenty-five years may seem like a very long life for a freezer.  It is MUCH older than that. Sears only sold Coldspot through 1976.  I thought that my parent's purchased this freezer in the sixties.  My brother said he put the serial number 'on-line' and it matched a 1953 manufacturing date.   Here is a close up of the make and model that

Apparitions in my Garden

Karmyn is the host of Fun Monday this week with a subject that is near and dear to her heart. Not to mention her knees and fingers. But I mentioned them anyway. The subject? --- What's Growing In Your Garden. As soon as I signed up I grabbed my camera and headed out the back door. Alyssum, lady's mantle, gaillardia, Jupiter beard, and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember is blooming in this photo. We didn't put as many annuals in this year so I miss all the yellows and reds that we often enjoy. But, something else showed up in that surprised me. Can it be that my yard is haunted? Cheeky little ghost! A shot from the deck near the hammock shows off some ornamental grass, petunias, pond plants ... and that bold apparitio

Bird Voyeur

The sweet little digital camera that the hubby purchased (after I dropped our old one) has encouraged me to do a little more walking. Last week I took it with me when I walked up the "creek" path, which doubles for joggers and bikers as well. I've seen beavers, mink, deer, birds, birds, birds, and once the tail end of a bear run running away through the brush. Of course, without a camera. Now I carry it often. This time I was watching the Belted King Fisher performing an acrobatic display and chattering at the ducks and geese in his fishing territory. I was zooming in on him in a tree across the water when I spotted what I thought was a huge wasp or hornet nest very high in the tree. (Thanks to Susan for bringing up bee's today.) The heavy binoculars were at home, so I continued to try to see it through my camera. Then, a weird movement caught my eye. What I thought was a giant paper wasp nest was really a Great Blue Heron sleeping on one leg with his head ben
