Will I dream, Dave?

May have been a warm and sunny Sunday...But you can tell by those flowers that fall is here.
current event
Sunshine daydream.
Allright, since these last 7 photos are so boring, I declare it's time for a PAR TAY! Right here, in the field. I've got a cooler full of livations and my grill's goin' with burgers and taters. Who's got the duct tape?
Editor's note: Hi Margaret! What kinds of images pique your interest? Thanks in advance for the input! -Katie
Reminds me of Thanksgiving! Every year all us kids play tag and such on the haybales!!! fun tradtions!!!
That's not OUR Margaret.
Kids these days have it easy --- Toys R Us. When I was a kid sometimes all we had to play with were bales of hay. If we got a tractor for Christmas, it was a real tractor and then we had to go out and plow forty acres. And we liked it!
Wow! Margaret gets yet another message from the Editors!!! Impressive!
I'll bring the marshmallow blow guns and the pony - he loves a good party! On the photo: Giant mutant daisies dwarf other crops - story at 11
Katie-I don't know about Margarets ideas on Pics, but I'd like something on Paul Newman. Is there anything on The Wire that's current? I met him once and he was true to life, same off camera as on. Or, for a weather thing Kyle would be good. Pitch in bloggers and help the editors.
I don't know about Margaret but I like pictures of cute animals like lions eating zebras, things like that.
It's like an Indian Summer.
I'm with Ed. But I would also add sharks to the list. Any old shark will do. Or maybe Tony Alamo. I need to vent. Oh, and about the pic....nice.
And as for the party...HB made some fantastic Rum Runners on Friday. I have the kids' bounce house all ready to go. And a brand new pair of black Nine West 4 inch pumps.
He loves me... He loves me not... He loves me... He loves me not.... He loves me....
Michael...Have to agree, Paul Newman was pretty down to Earth. One time, I was pumping my own gas at a gas station here in Maine. He pulled up in his car and started pumping gas on the other side of my pump. We exchanged words for about 5 mins or so. Just like two Mainers would do. What impressed me is that he initiated the conversation. He was very likeable. He will be sadly missed.
Well, golly, Katie... I didn't think you actually READ the crap we post here. Most of us don't. BUT... I don't know a women alive who wouldn't enjoy a candid photo of the late Paul Newman (yum yummy). We like these artsy-fartsy pics fine enough, but at least once a week, we need something about which we can argue, otherwise we get cranky. Now, on to the party: oregon's absense is noted but not appreciated. Someone get a blow-horn and we can shout "Ducks suck" a few times; that should get her in here. And who has been drinking mai tai's out of Krista's stiletto?
This brings me back to my childhood. I'd love to be able to go back right now and not have the stress that I have right now.
Ed - That would be cool!
What a day for a daydream!
Katie, you should know by now that as a group, we are way too hard to please. Myself, I would like some nice fall shots (like turning leaves) to get me in the fall mood. Kids and furry animals are good, too. But I like Ed's idea also. If the theme stays political, can you find a shot of a genuine, honest group of politicians making a decision solely based upon the needs of the people, with thier best interests at heart? Kind of an enigma, huh.
Siamese-twin daisy. I wonder what the radiac-meter would say.
Well, I like the picture above... such a carefree child in a world full of turmoil! "Daisy, Daisy give me your answer do I'm half crazy, all for the love of you It won't be a stylish marriage I can't afford a carriage But you'll look sweet on the seat Of a bicycle built for two" On a lighter note: The hay bales around us usually gets wrapped in white plastic coverings... makes it look like a field of giant marshmellows!
The photo would have been perfect without the human in it. still beautiful though.
this is an image that hits me, if only the whole world could be happy and sunny, like the boy and the daisies.
Pushing up daisies? Nice cover photo for season three on dvd.
He loves me, he loves me not, he loves me, he loves me not, he loves me, he loves me not, he loves me, he loves me not, he loves me, he loves me not (whew!), he loves me.......
I really thought Margaret came close to putting her foot in her mouth - she didn't! Hail to the queen!! CFfromDallastx...Even cooler - A few photos of lions eating lawyers and politicians! SL...Every time I hear that song, Hal from the movie 2001 a space odyssey comes to mind.( the computer on valium? )Daaaiiissy..Daaaiiissy AP...I'm glad you guys weren't wiped out by that storm!!! My old summer haunt Galveston took a pretty good hit. I always go during summer than in the fall when the gulf coast has spectacular weather.
AP-Yup, Paul was a consumate human being. I used to clean pools here in Santa Barbara, and Montecito where Pauls racing buddy Bill Freeman had a house. I went there on New Years day, 1980 I think it was, and Paul came out and asked me what in the Heck I was doing. "Cleaning Pools", I said. Paul says "I can see that, but what ARE you doing?" I answered, "Working on New Years day". As cool as can be, he says, "Exactly, go on home and take her easy". He turned heal and pointed to a crumpled car in the drive and muttered, "Darn wall got in my way, not too happy about that...." And with a wave of a hand he was gone.
DUCKS SUCK!!!! DUCKS SUCK!!!
I'll bring the cider and stereo rig, along with a bushel of CD's, and my iPod. I'll pick out some vinyl and invite some non-blogging musician friends to play tunes. Of course, there'll be dancing 'till midnight. Or until the cops shut us down, whichever comes first.
marg-are you talking about the salad dressing guy?
Sigh. Yes, christa, I am, in part, referring to the salad dressing guy. I'm also referring to one of the best actors of any age, one of the most handsome and wise of all people, and a truly generous soul. The man was the bombdiggity.
SL - are you going to dance again for the party? What is the theme of this party? earl - I like your idea too. OK. I'll bring the lion. Mickey will bring her Party Pony. My lion will not hurt anyone except laywers and politians, so it will be ok. And for the record.... your pony looks good in krista's new Nine West pumps! AP, Ken - who will be a the BBQ pit this time? oregon - We HAVE to have ducks in the bounce house!!!! Krista - Remember a few pics back? You asked me what a California Howdy was? I did answer. It just didn't get posted. I put up a sling shot swing. Who wants to be first?
Christa...you're dating yourself. Paul Newman may possibly have been known for something other that salad dressing.
DUCKS SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!! DUCKS SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!! oregon, you out there??? PLEASE come back, we miss you! christa: you are too cute for words, luv. Ill bring jello shooters, and hot guys!!! ;)
Good thing Mickeymassie came on over to my neck of the woods to let me know about the poop being flung around here.... My-my you gilrs talk a big talk. Lets see......Michigan is 2-2 UGH......no wins at all in the big ten. And good luck getting by Penn State. Now my sweet Kay.....umm....your quite loud for someone who has 2 top ten teams coming at them in the next few weeks. Virg. Tech spanked your butts....But you know how I feel about Bo so im waiting to see him work his magic. SL is actually the only one ill take crap from altho I dont see LSU getting by Alabama. DUCKS.....63 COUGARS....14 OREGON STATE......27 USC......21 GIGGLING MY A** OFF. USC WHO.................that will never get old. miss ya all. Thank you Mickiemassie.....i know who has my back. and as always......GO DUCKS.
MT---I will go for the fall pictures---but finding an honest politician----what about a politician trying to ride a zebra----that might bring a smile.
Not only is she here, but she's got her het up. Yayy!! NOW it's a party.
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. sigh.
Christa, I don't know what happended to this post the first time, but let's try this again: Your homework assignment is to rent a few Paul Newman movies. We want a full report on Monday. Might I suggest Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, and The Color of Money.
Good example of how the whole can be less than the sum of the parts.
It's 11:00 on Wednesday and I could really use a double CR on rocks. And since the queen has declared a party, let's party. O'girl, let loose the ducks. MM, take the harness of the pony and let her romp. sparky, pass those jello shots around. AP, any suggestions for the barbie? Krista, could you make some more of rum runners and don't forget to wear the new shoes. C, you've got a lion? Yahoo! christa, sorry, only Shirley Temples for you again. michael, only 70s R&R at this party with lots of Led Zep. NEOSHO, name your poison. bayaga, how about some zebra racing? jk I really did learned my lesson the last time.
Let's bring the elephant to the party, but I'm NOT cleaning up after him this time!
I want a pick of Palin, so we can argue about her, or how about the Alaskan road "that leads to nowhere".
YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY WB oregon!!!!!!!! I knew that would get yout attention. We missed you!!!!!
and further more Bayaga....what the hell has happened to Tennessee this year.....ugh
bay - And the zebra has a bad case of attitude. Or maybe have the lion chase the zebra with a politician on it's back. Ok. I'll shut p. That's about as political as I will get. Next picture.
Ha, Ha...Oregon! I knew I could get your attention!! Yeah, Virginia Tech did give us a whoopin'...I am still waiting for the Black Shirts to make a return!! (Remember, I really like the Ducks!) don't wait so long next time.....we missed ya!!
Hey, O-girl -- GO DUCKS! Welcome back! CF - the pony says thanks! (OK, he actually snorted and head-butted, but that's really his way of saying thanks!) Of course, now he wants matching accessories! And food! michaelSB - midnight??? why quit that early! you better have that camera ready - the ducks and the pony are real party animals!!! (yuk! yuk! I crack myself up sometimes! OK, I know, I need some sleep!)
By the way, Editor Katie, please come to the party and bring plenty of photos of Paul. I too would like to see his photo on the blog and read more tributes to him.
sounds like the party is off to a good start. All we need now is a little "Rainstorm"...what say you, Stryder??
LSU... LSU! *** giggling *** Go Ducks!... quack quack oregon, thanks for taking my "crap"... it's all in good fun! :0) Of course I'll be there - at the party - to dance till dawn! That's how I keep my girlish figure! If you look at all the pictures of the ladies in Roman times... yes, I have a girlish figure!!! Hahahahahahahahahahahaha.... hick! Okay, okay... I'm calm now!
ShelliTX: I've been meaning to ask your opinion on Gov. Palin. Stryder: make mine an Absolute n Cranberry, tall and heavy.
Stryder-I'll be drinking with christa. A diet dr. pepper would be lovely.
Kay - now where did I put that recipe? My memory is the second thing to go, and I've already forgotten what the first was? Damn, not even 50 and I'm falling apart.
This pic is just pure joy!! I wanna go play, pick a daisy and relax. Winter is a coming - play while you can!
ShelliTX - - ALL roads in Alaska lead to nowhere. Some of them have bridges.
Stryder....To get the party really going I'm going to bring over a van full of illegal fireworks! If the police show up - don't worry! You think A Bong full of smoldering skunk weed tossed into the backseat of Ed's car would create a good diversion?
earl - a bong? You've got a bong. Hmmm, I'm not sure if I remember how to drive one of those. Oh yeah, I was in college in the 70s, so I'm sure I must have used one of those, but I didn't inhale. OOPS, maybe I did a little. Of course, if you remember the 70s, you really weren't there. ;o) Bring on the M-80s and giant bottle rockets!
Stryder - I need....um...I forgot. Oh yeah! What you said. And don't foget NEOSHO and christa. earl - Are you sure that's shunk weed? Weed that stinks? I know what that's really called. Stop that. Just bring the fireworks. See who's on the trampoline? Dare you to sneak a firecarcker under the trampoline and see what happens. oregon - your ducks are teasing the pony about his choice of drink. And his accessories. SL - You have one tennis shoe on and one pump on. What kind of dance are you going to do? Cman - Good idea. The elephant can be part of the band. He can blow his trumpet. Well.....after he blows his nose of course. OK!!! Who is going to keep on eye on the elephant?
Where has Bull been? Havent heard from him in a while.
The triffids return as huge dasies thinking a softer look give the the edge this time.
Uh-oh! The pony is chasing the ducks! He's very particular about his accessories! There they go, bouncing off the trampoline (um, sorry ed, the pony didn't mean to stomp on you!) and into the bounce house -- Look out Southern Lady! I think I need a drink - a BIG drink - before I chase after them!
Stryder...Maybe we should do a Texas Barbie this time. OK... who's got the fixin's? Let's see was that Stryder or someone else who asked about the 70's...I forgot Oregon...WB...Just in the nick of time. ;) CF...Hmmm...KGB, Sinsy, Williams Wonder, Mean Green, Pepe' La Pew. Any of those ring a bell?...uhhh, never heard of them.... Cf and CMan...Oh by the way. Let Intlmanomystry take care of the Elephant. He/she might learn something. Earl...Skreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!.. pow, Crackle, pow....BOOM!!!.........Sounds like a plan. NEOSHO... you can bring the music.
Chargergirl - The day of the Triffids- great story! I thoroughly enjoyed the book and I saw 2 movie versions, one British (a miniseries - very well done) and one American, which was rather cheesy. Speaking of cheese, who just sprayed me with processed cheese-spread in a can.... Stryder was that you? I know you think I'm too old and slow to catch you, but you better WATCH OUT!!! ;)
It was me, Mickey. Sorry. I was aiming for Margaret. She loves that stuff. It goes good with the Cab. Did you know she drinks her wine through a twisty straw?
When I fisrt saw this picture I did not realize that was a child on the bale of hay. Thought it was some kind of animal. Could not figure out for the life of me what it was until I read the caption under the pic. LOL :)
AP..flowers are deceiving this time of year, but always pleased to see them yet at harvest Margaret..if boring means bringing on the par tay, then par tay it be Christa..Paul Newman will be sadly missed by all ol' movie watchers, and even ol' movie watchers did not know about the salad dressing thing that he did for proceeds toward being philanthropist that he was..sometimes and sadly we learn more as ppl pass on than when we knew of them living.. NEOSHO..you know Margaret an all persons who blog here; you're marvelous to know personalities in such a non-personal environment as this..you are truly remarkable extaordinary :) Ed..real experience and insight to how it is.. MickeyMass..observer, you know it..always impressing on all ppls hearts..and always one to look forward to for more insight michaelinSantaBarbara..can always google what you want see in photo or whom you want more info, may not always going to be in picture format here..same goes to Margaret.. to be continued...
Wow, where did the weekend go? My how fun flies when you're doing time. MM - there you go blaming me again. I'm innocent, honest. It really was Krista. And, btw, you did a good job controlling the pony this time. Margaret - roger, heavy it is NEOSHO - diet DP with just a little vanilla added for flavor As far as the barbeque goes, we do mostly beef here in the southwest. I'm partial to brisket, but ribs are good too. But considering our diversity here on the blog, I suggest for our next party that we have Tony Romas cater for us. They have enough of a variety of sauces and meats that everybody should find something they like. And that way, no one has to clean the kitchen.
AP, make sure you put some vegetarian burgers on the grill this time. (Watch out for the protestors) Who's bringing the Newman videos? Now, how many of these balloons will it take to get the elephant in the air? Earl, I saw some fireworks from ANOTHER Ed (calls himself "crazy") SouthernLady, you're bringing giant marshmallows?
AP - Good idea. Intlmanomystry is in charge of the elephant. Whoooo hoooo!! Haaaa Haaaaa! Sweetie elephant is showing Intlman a little love! Krista - drinks her wine through a twisty straw? Now you better put on your running shoes. Mickey's after you for the cheese wiz incident. Wait. She just had a detour. Some sort of loud bang lifted the trampoline, causing the ducks, lion and pony to fly into the air. It's ok. They landed in the bounce house. HA!HA!HA!HA Oh nooooooo! Guess who was in the bounce house? SL - good job on the dancin' Keep it up. You have the go-go boots on and you can do "the monkey" pretty good too. Pass the TX BBQ Stryder. I said pass. Not throw. (ducking down). You just knocked oregon off the rope swing. AP - Back to you. What's going on with the fireworks now? And FYI - I've never heard of those names you mentioned earlier(snicker). Another jello shot please! Face paiting table is set up. (pssst, pssstt, hey...ed. look. it's not really face paint. I have permanent marks. shhhh.) YOOOHOOO who wants to be the artist and paint faces? The qualified artist has to have had at least four drinks first. Step right up.
C - too funny ;o) CMan - veggie burgers? Dont' you know those things will kill you.
OK! My 10/6/8 post. Sorry!! I didn't spell "painting" correctly! The face p-a-i-n-t-i-n-g table it set up. I had four before I posted that. ;) Stryder - You have a good pretty idea about Tony Romas. Can we also have Dickey's BBQ? I throw a pretty mean elbow, in case someone cuts in line at Dickey's. Just FYI!
MissD-I'd like to say that I am just very intuitive, but I communicate with several of our blog buddies outside of the photoblog, through emails and myspace. We have some remarkable and varied people here!
Well, if you don't want to wake up to a messy kitchen, I'll try to pass out on the playground.
Am I too late for the party? My philospy is it's not over til someone calls the cops.
TpotinFlorida - The cops haven't been called. Your next at the face painting table. Jello shot or ALRIGHT!!!!! WHO JUST PEGGED ME WITH THE MARSHMELLOW GUN? The gloves are off. I have loaded the elephant's trunk with water ballons and he knows how to "rapid fire". TpotinFlorida - If someone asks you to lift the pony's tail.....DO NOT do it. OK?
MissD - awww, thanks! how sweet! CMan - I brought the marshmallow bazookas, so SL's giant marshmallows are needed no! Hand them over, SL - I need to get a shot off at Krista! (btw, Stryder, the pony is a "he" not a "she" - he's a little sensitive about that, being a gelding...) C - I think you just qualified yourself as artiste du jour!
Well, now I know now who used the permanent marker on my face at the last party I intended. I just knew I could not trust my dogs at this party. They are safe at home. Don't think I want Intlmano close to them. He might be the kind of person who totured small animals as a kid. That's why he could never have a pet. Do NOT leave the elephant in his care, unless we can get the elephant to sit on him. MM, watch your pony closely. They have been know to have had too much beer and then ...... Ed, yes, life was hard for us growing up. Did you have to walk 5 miles to school too? And it was all uphill on the way there and back home too. I'm late getting here again so I've got a lot of catchin' up to do, so bring on the rummmmmmmmmmmm. I'll take a few jello shooters too. Food, need some food. Ribs look great. Really nice photo and evokes warm memories of childhood. It could be US as well as Germany. I just have to say though, that I really love the 7 years I lived in Germany.
lonewolf...What part of Germany did you live in? I Lived in Mannheim for a year and Kitzingen, just outside of Wurzburg for two years... And yes I loved it there too. Sprechen sie Deutsch?
Sie, ein bitschen. Wohen ich bei Flugplatz Hahn 3 jahren und Zweibrucken 4 jahren. OK, now, that's hurting my brain and it't broken at best. I have been to Mannheim a few times and to Kitzingen two or three. I have a beautiful photo of their 'leaning' tower. Oh, for a jagerschnitzel. When I go to Charlottesville, Va I try to visit the Ludwig's Resturant. It's the closest 'real' German food I can find. Oh for a brotchen. I don't have the little overhead double dots to put in the words. LOL. Now for some good Auslase.
Okay CF yer on! I'm aimin the pony yer way. Skip the jello shooters. Make mine Tequila, neat. Then we'll talk about that face painting...Picasso anyone?
If Jordon shows up at the party, ya'll, let him lift the pony's tail. Make sure it's had plenty of beer too! Geez, my mean is coming out. "Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy...."
