The Scarecrows

Okay Possum's! Bubba squared today! Something mathmatical but we won't talk about that nor can I remember after so many years of being out of school!



It's time once again for the walk through Cheekwood botanical garden and view the scarecrows for October! The first one I'm not even sure how it is seen as a Scarecrow, but I'll go with it!



Let's not get bug eyed over it! I mean really Possum's! They are the local folkart from the Nashville area!



It's the pink of things! Have ya'll ever seen anything so pink in all your lives? The crows would have to wear sunglasses around this scarecrow girl. They were blinded by the pink!



So get yourselves a cup of coffee and sit back. This is gonna take awhile. There were lots of scarecrows for me to see on this adventure.



And Yes!...I did have to be in every single photo for this. My photograph staff thought it would be fittin for me to be in all the pictures! I think they were think what it would be like for me to be one of the scarecrows as well.


I always enjoy my trips to the Cheekwood gardens. And what a lovely fall mornin it was for such an outtin!



I only do these kinds of things to get into the spirit of this month bein the month of Fall time, Harvest time and Halloween all rolled up into one.



I shall sit here by the pond and think about it just for a moment.



It's Pumpkin Head! Run for your lives! I think there actaully  is a movie with a Pumpkin Head character in it.


Western girl? What's she gonna do? Ride the crows out of here? No Horse girl....think horse. It's a western not the Wizzard of OZ!


Talk about eattin crow! Crow pie? What are ya'll tryin ta teel ole Bubba?


The pie goes along with this S.C.










Did ya'll see all these? Scare crows were everywhere!



Mornin glory break! The flowers were a welcome distraction!

 





Sorry about the fast forward Possum's! What can ya say about this many scarecrows? I shall leave a few for tomorrows blog. Until then this is Bubba's Sock Drawer signin off! Bubba

Celebrate Nashville

Hello Possum pretenders! And welcome to another episode of Bubba's Sock Drawer! Got antoher adventure just waitin to be told. Kay! So in the park where our very own golden girl stands in her Parthanon buildin...(yawn) that part makes me yawn! The cultural festival had taken place. My very own Possum staff and I took in the festival to see what this was all about. So it seems........This was a celebration of all the people that have come here from other countries.



Bring in the May pole and let's get started with all the festivities! A dance around the May pole to bring in the fall time. It usually signafies the coming of Spring time.


Enter the dummers! Beat those drums! Draws a crowd everytime! I stood there for quite sometime. They were really good! Beats loud enough to cover up the sounds of country music!


There was lots of fun for everyone!



The Indians even came out to join in all the fun! Check out their Tee-pee! This is a real one! Not some movie set deal!



They had loads of musical instruments and everyone was invited to pick one up and play! My Dad...if ya will use to play the clarinet back in his day and so the tradition continued one last time. He said it was his farewell to the clarinet.



Folks from all over the world came out to show their cultural talents.


The rappers were there and they were rappin the stories of the bible. It was a sight to see!



This is the yawner I was talkin bout earlier! The parthanon. Makes no snese that it's in Nashville, but it's here! I'm just sayin!



Well I'll be a squared sock monkey in my own right!



Tye dye it and stick it in a bottle! That's what I always say! Well...almost never, but it sounder perfect for the moment.



And there Ya have it Possum's! All from the cultural festival! Have a great week! I know I'm gonna! Bubba

Starbucks in the mornin

Hello Sock Drawer Possum's! I was sittin here in my Sock Drawer this mornin...Thinkin I should wonder into the kitchen and put the coffee on! NOT!!


Well Starbucks it is! I took the easy road for today!


Once I had my White chocolate moucha I headed out to the Starbucks patio to check my Sock Drawer messages on my I phone. My secretary wasn't present with me to tend to all these things. The text messages and voicemails were staggerin! I just turned it off and sipped my coffee. The fall mornin was wonderful! I just wanted to escape for the day and put my celebrity status on the shelf for a bit. So I sat and thought for a moment as to what I could do for this me time.


I went for a walk torward the city. I found this curious antique along the way! WOW! I haven't seen one of these in a while. I was surprised to see it discarded on the curb by someones trash. My I-phone will half to do for the present.



Along the way I found this fall display in someones flower garden. I stopped for a bit and enjoyed the scarecrows and flowers. Very colorful and pleasent to look at. It's right on time as October will start on Saturday. The month of scariness as Halloween is right around the corner.




My next stop was at The Arcade for a bit of lunch. Really cool place! I had a deli sub and my usual Diet coke.



My love for art had me walkin around the upstairs of the Arcade. Many artist studios reside there. The dark red flowers kind of remind me of the vampire thing. I guess it was the colors that gave me that impression.


This paticular street corner is a favorite of mine. The church across the street is from the 1800's. Still in use to this very day.

It has been great to just enjoy the day and the sights of the city. I love walkin around the city and talkin with my city scape Possum's. I always have time for my fans. We sat on this street corner where there is a Starbucks across the street from that church I mentioned a little earlier. we had coffee together...I signed a few autographs...and made a few pictures with my number one fans!


So thats it for Bubba's Sock Drawer today. I'll close the Sock Drawer for Thursday! Bubba

Owen Farm

Kay Possum's! Here's the thing! The pumpkin pose for this year has been canceled and I'll tell ya'll why... I happened to take my celebrity self to Owen Farm fall festival today and I found a farm with many pumpkin poses and I decided this would be the thing this year. It's official! Fall time started Friday. This morning was the openin of the fall festival! I decided to go.


There were pumpkins all over the place! Rolled up hay pumpkins and all!


I was having the photo session of a life time!



There were so many pumpkins at this festival...my camera crew had a hard time keepin up!



This was disturbin,but entertainin at the same time. Now I know these things are mainly made for children, but aren't holidays mostly for children anyway? We adults have to make our fun. But hey! It doesn't bother anyone that old Bubba makes his appearances at these funtions.


It signafies fall time and I do enjoy a good decoration. What better way than to do it on a farm right? Harvest time they call it.



Lots to see on this outtin! My human grew up around the farm life and had a good time.



The winnin pumpkin pose for this year was a truck load of pumpkins! Wow! Right out of the pumpkin patch.




They actually made for train ride for the Kiddies out of barrels! Very creative I must say.



Happy fall time Possum's! From down on the farm!


I mean everywhere we looked there was another pumpkin display!



The goat agreed!



The chickens were doin the pumpkin chicken dance on such a jouyous occasion! I think I did stop and take out my unicorn horn and dance right along with them.


Ever take a bath in a corn field? I could have today! Not sure why this tub is out here in the corn field,but I'm sure the folks that own this here farm have actually taken a bath here at some point.


But Hey! I'm corny!


I started into the corn maze for a closer look at what this might be. Now I've been in various corn mazes in the past,but each one is different in it's own right!


Still walkin the corn maze........



Now this is more like it! This one's for you JuJu! Please excuse me Possum's! JuJu is an old friend from my Atlanta days. Hey JuJu! I wavin from the tractor!



This is your pumpkin on drugs! Any questions?



So all in all...It was a good trip and about 30 minutes out of Nashville! Not bad for a Saturday outtin!






This is Bubba's Sock Drawer rollin up it's socks for the day! Have a pleasent and happy fall weekend! Bubba
