Good, Random Fun.

In all the hustle and bustle of us getting ready for Christmas (and believe you me, I am hustling this morning) hehe... sitting here at the computer, I am. But, I will get busy. I promise.

Remember the old tv show and they would say 'It's Howdy Doody time'?  Well, this morning it is blog time and I will say 'GOOD RANDOM FUN ' time. It's also time to post a MURAL 

How about it? Will you join me? Oh, come on! Won't take but a minute.

GOOD.......... the feeling I got last night during a Christmas performance at church. Things like that put you in the right thought process for what Christmas is all about.

RANDOM..... One day I was wandering around the farmer's market in Smithfield. I came upon this beautiful dog and just had to take it's picture. Of course, I don't remember which breed she is, nor what her name is. But, isn't she gorgeous?

FUN.......I love finding unexpected little or large works of art in the most unusual places.
                                                              This one is LARGE.
It covers the side of a building in Smithfield, Va. where Smithfield hams and bacon come from.
                                                   Ta Da.....Hence, the pig farm mural.
 

So, now I am off to do some last minute Christmas shopping. See you back here real soon.

  5. Awesome mural...great photos and comments on all this Christmas hustle and bustle! And cute dog! Got your awesome email and will answer soon! I also got your comment on my most recent post....BUT I have been waiting since Friday for you to comment on my Willy Nilly post and the LINK to my piece-fulness post. You often miss my Willy Nilly posts (and don't seem to be participating as much anymore either) and they are often things I most want you to see. I also am anxious for you to see all that sewing and crocheting, etc. I've been up to!!!! So, please scroll back and visit those two posts.

  7. I love it when towns memorialize what life is like (or was). Nice capture. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.

    We're settling in on an ice rain day! We don't do too much over Christmas.

  9. Latane,

    I thank you so much for your sweet comments on LAWN TEA! This is my second try today, for my comment on your book below came back in my e-mail as undeliverable, though I'd just posted it on this comment spot.

    In case you didn't get it:

    What a happy, fulfilling day! You are so lovely and stylish, and your BOOK
    is simply so elegant and beautiful---as my Mammaw used to say, you must
    have just busted ALL your buttons! I'm behind on everybody's doings this
    fall, and just hadn't gotten in on the excitement of your great
    accomplishment. I cannot imagine how it must feel to have folks lining up
    to BUY your WORDS.

    I did have my entire blog printed back in October, all six years so far,
    and just to hold those beautiful, colourful volumes in my hands and know
    they're solid and real---isn't that absolutely amazing?

    I just stepped in to say thank you for dropping in at LAWN TEA, and am now
    off to claim a copy of my own. This is so exciting---I know an AUTHOR! What
    thrilling times these must be, and if ANYBODY can claim to be busy, it must
    be you. I've heard what a whirlwind that is when you've published a book.
    Oh, well. I can dream.

    What a joyous, dream-come-true day---simply splendid all round.
    Congratulations.
