10.06.2021: Between rain showers, I ventured out to our back yard to add some bird seed to our feeder. I got an eerie feeling that I was being watched. Oh well, must of been my imagination.

Such a rainy night in Georgia
Lord,
I believe it's rainin' all over the world
I feel like it's rainin' all over the world"

10.03.2021: When I was around 8 or 9 years old, I remember visiting my grandparents in Missouri and wondering why they spent so much time sitting out under a big tree in their yard, talking or reading or just staring off in the distance. Didn’t they know there was a lot of exploring to do on their 30 acres of woods? Years later, after a stint in the Air Force, I arrived home only to find my parents sitting in lawn chairs in front of the opened garage door. They were just talking and killing the time. Didn’t they know there was a festival downtown or a big football game at the high school? Then a few years ago, I realized that just sitting on your porch, or under a tree, or out in front of your garage while doing nothing … was quite enjoyable. It’s great to sit outside, relish the breeze and recall exploring my grandparents’ woods, going to festivals or high school football games and even closing my eyes and hearing my parents and grandparents talking and laughing about their days of youth. And often, I take a magazine with me, so that the neighbors walking by think that I’m actually being productive.

10.02.2021: I recently relocated the skull that appeared on our neighborhood's hiking trail. I put it on a tree in hopes it will keep door-to-door sales people from pestering us. Worse case ... it's a nice Halloween decoration.

10.01.2021: Due to a lack of qualified candidates, the city of Kennesaw was forced to hire an untrained Scarecrow to direct traffic at their busiest intersection. Mr. Scarecrow agreed to work a 12-hour shift for just $3.00. He could have gotten much, much more … if he only had a brain.

9.27.2021: So, I tried a different trail today and did not see one single deer. However, I lucked out and was able to get photos of several other wild animals. I highly recommend Zoo Atlanta for a fun day. Especially if you have a couple of your grandkids along.
