Sunshine on a Rainy Day

Vala was a lovely anecdote to a sleety day.

 

A Glowing Thanksgiving

With the sun behind him, this guy had a certain aura.

 

Spreading Good Tidings

Young artists are spreading good wishes but the signs aren't rain proof so they are dissolving. I appreciate the sentiment though.

 

Park Music

 

Nice that they provide the music to go with the instruments in Franklin Park.

 

Connecting

So much fun to watch Adam and Vala talking.

 

Hello, Llama

Dad took us to meet the animals at the American Royal. It appears we are going to feed this fellow, although Hayden has reservations about that idea.
 

Leaves Be Gone

We had mounds of leaves for our neighborhood leaf pickup. Glad they came through before the winds expected today. Lowell was demonstrating how high our leaf mountain was.

 

Ready to Roll

The Ferguson girls were loaded for a trip to the park.

 

I Wonder Why

What do you suppose this duct tape is intended to fix? I'm always curious when I discover such repairs as this.
 

Fantasy World

Fun display at Family Tree Nursery for the Toys for Tots collection. Cool octopus watching as the train travels around.
 

Toddler Rock Climbing

 Lowell mastered climbing this wall at the playground on the second try. She's fearless. You get to go down the slide once you reach the top.

Buried in Leaves

Adam enjoyed all the leaves that have dropped at our house, especially the giant sycamore ones.
 

Dad and His Books

His grandchildren – Hayden, Alex and Stacy – helped Dad unwrap the books he requested each Christmas. All non-fiction, of course.

 

Kindness Rocks Inspiration Garden

Johnson County Arts and Heritage Center has created this rock garden outside its entrance. You're invited to take one or two if you feel inspired to do so, and help water the garden by adding rocks of your own. Some are professional, some amateurish, all delightful.
 

Skeleton Road

This pile of cement in the street looks like a skull to me. What do you see?
