 Husband walks into my office today:

He says: "Well, I've finished the wiring project so I guess it's time to move. My 'list' is done".

Then he laughs.

Me: "So, why is it we always get a house perfect and then we have to move?"

He says: "I don't want to move."

Me: "So why is it you have been talking about Colorado and Michigan and Vermont if you don't want to move?"

He says: "Because you said you want to live by water."

Me: "Colorado has no large body of water."

He says: "Well, I do all of these projects I suppose because I get bored, not so we have to move."

Me: Blink Blink

 Me says: "Well, I have a project for you."

He says: "What's that?"

Me says: "I need all of these framed photos hung on my walls."

He says: Well, I'll do it someday when I have nothing else to do. Put it on my list."

Me says: "Where is your list?"

He says: "On my iPad."

 I was reading an article from a local newspaper online.

A lady made a comment that she is" trying to convince her husband that the state of Iowa is not flat".

Me: Blink Blink

Umm, I grew up there and it IS flat!

I guess she must have lived in the one county that has a hill.

Or maybe she was referring to the Loess Hills of Iowa which are 200 feet high!!!!

Makes me dizzy just thinking about it and how thin the air must be way up there.

 So, life has been slow today, and because I did nothing, I am posting a photo of Tinker Mountain which I passed by on Sunday going into Roanoke.

It's a teensy bit taller than a Loess Hill.

Here is some info on Tinker Mountain regarding it's elevation and how it compares to other mountains in Virginia and the U.S.

Early November Views

For those of you not on Facebook, here are a few of the recent photos I took this past week as I stopped in a nearby town that I passed through numerous times over this past month while doing errands.  The autumn colors are all very subdued, and with today's heavy rain most of this color will be taken down until next October.

These were all taken from the same vantage point atop a hill, except for the last photo which was taken closer to our home with a view of the Allegheny Mountains in the background. It was a windy day so the leaves and grasses were all waving about and caused a softer look due to a teeny bit of blur.

All taken with my pocket camera, a Canon S95 that I have had for a couple years.

Please enjoy the views.
