The sun sets

As the sun sets over Nashville this beautiful Sunday evenin,one wonders what to do with themselves. Out comes the imagination for a wonderous tour and guided walk through our enchanted garden. Remember the word imagination!





I was sittin on this Hollywood squares thingey out in the back alley way.......Why do we have this Hollywood Squares thingey in the back alley way? One never knows what one will find out in the back alley way,but it was quite interestin ta say the least. It was worth a photo for bloggin sake.



Next I was by this birdhouse tea pot. Can ya'll say Mad Hatter in the garden? That was what I was thinkin while ponderin if life did in fact exist on other planets. Sorry....my Sock Monkey mind tends ta wonder a bit at times. Could it be that my Polyfil stuffin moved ever so slightly to the left? It'll make your button threads go all tangled on ya!



It's a backyard with a view! The trash cans go nicely this time of year. A smell only the flies could love.


If ya'll remember,this little birdhouse had snow on it in one of our winter blogs. So now I just sit on it and perch. it's only on the fence. No birds have ever lived in it.



Ever count how many times the electric ring goes round in the meter box? Me either,but I thought it would give my Possum's something to wonder about.



Just walkin about in the flowers! House leeks bloom this time of year.



What garden would be complete without bamboo wind chimes? Can you say "that's so 70's"? Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!


This is what happens to teapots that have lost their use. They get turned into flower pots. I have a drill and I'm not afraid ta use it!



The tiniest rose ever!


That's about it for a quiet lonely afternoon!Bubba

The Sunday afternoon Jarga

Brown Sock salutations on a wonderful Sunday afternoon! The temps outside are magnificent! Ya'll might want to sit a spell out on the porch. Mike and I wondered over to the train track for a photo moment.



I was sittin here wonderin if a train was gonna come along and run me over, cuttin me in half. I know Possum's! Not a pretty sight ta think of on such a wonderful fall day! Now don't go sheddin a tear, it was just a thought. We Sock Monkeys can come up with a lot of strange thoughts.


On a brighter note...Remember little Winnie Cooper from the Wonder Years? Her real name is Danika Mckeller. She and her husband had a baby boy and they named him Draco. Congrats Winnie!



Happy Yellow Daisey fest to those livin in Atlanta.Bubba

Hey it's Friday

Here it is early on a Friday mornin and it's tryin to rain!The coffee is flowin like the Nile river and it's all good.



The biggest goldfish in the world was caught and then put back in the water. Try to flush this one!


Well just have a Sock Monkey cupcake! It'll make things so much better.



Perhaps a fall leaf cupcake would be the thing for such a great mornin! I just know coffee will have to be served as well.


Angela will agree with you!



It's cosmic if ya'll ask me!Bubba

Wenesday again

Hello Possum's on another Wenesday mornin! Two days ago it was time for a bath again. Mike has to hand wash me because I'm considered delicate. Here I am in dryin mode. Sittin in front of the airconditioner to dry. And yes I'm smellin of Ivory soap! Nice fresh smell instead of the usual dust collectin smell we Sock Monkeys alway have. We celebrities have to be washed ever so often. Not a pretty sight mind you. The hand ringin out of water is a little uncomfortable,but something that has to be done. So here I sit dryin! Have a great week!Bubba

Labor day lunch

I guess all my Possum's are a wonderin what old Bubba had for his Labor day lunch! Did I drag out the grill and grill it? NOT!!! I went on down to the Chinese buffet for a tasty and fillin lunch. The grill is to much work. So what if it's the last part of summer. I say goodbye to it all. Summer and it's hot temps be gone! So happy Labor day to ya'll!Bubba

Labor Day

Greetins from the city of Nashville Possum's! Mike and I decided to head down town and walk about. Here I am at the walk of fame right across from the Conutry Music Hall of Fame.



A bright brisk cool mornin. Made for a great day for a walk in town.



Celebratin Labor Day I took the time to stop and smell the roses. Ain't that's what it's all about?




Here is the famous Batman buildin. Mike and I can see it from our backyard.


Pardon me while I take care of some business.



We walked around the streets of the city just so ya'll could see what's what.







Here we are at the Nashville symphony house! Pretty buildin!



This here is the Shelby bridge. It's a bridge ya'll can bike or walk across.



The Nashville statdium Off in the distance.



And there ya have it from the city of Nashville TN. Happy Labor day Possum's!Bubba

Chihully

Good afternoon Possum's, Peeps and general Sock Monkey lovers, Sock Salutations from the Cheekwood botanical Garden of Nashville! Boy did I get the shock of my life! Mike and I went to see the Scarecrow exibit in the garden. When we got up to the desk to pay for our entry fee, we were told the Scarecrows would not make an appearance in the gardens this year! WHAT!!!!!? Instead we got a great adventure to another exsibit. Chihully neon sculptures in the garden. The one you see above weighs 4600 lbs.


I'm here ta tell ya Possum's, that neon was stuck in places ya never thought ya'll would see neon before. And quite beautiful if ya'll ask me. We should have gone at night to see it all lit up!





My favorite ones were the pointy ones! Looks really cool!





They had them in the ponds and I bet they look mighty pretty when their lit on the water at night!



This boat full of neon was pretty cool!



Then onto the Japneese garden for more sculpture fun!


I don't think I have ever seen round ball neon before.



Little tiny waterfalls here and there. I wanted to dip my toesies in but Mike gave me that look your Mother use to give you when you thought you were gonna die when ya'll got home!



More neon in the foilage. Blue and green make a pretty combo!





This one is a close up of the one brfore it. Ya'll can see a bit more detail.







These three pictures were all in the same reflectin pool!



This one was in a fountain at the mansion that is on the grounds and part of your entry fee to tour.




It was a wonderful thing to tour the gardens this afternoon.



Ya'll know I couldn't resist! Mike's face turn three shades of red on that one! I wasn't really payin attention but I think his feet turned purple as well.



The bubble thingeys in the water was really cool!



I wanted to dip my head under this one,but Mike was livid! Plum jerked me up by the ear and off we went to see more neon!







Isn't this the coolest display?










This pic here is one of my personal favorites. Spikey thingeys in the water garden.

Have a great afternoon and evenin Possum's!Bubba
