Autumn Red

The RED hues of autumn are especially bright right now among the dogwoods,

 and there are many in Old Live Oak Cemetery.

Our World, The Last Bounty

The season's first hard freeze is expected tonight, so I gathered the last

 of our garden bounty on Monday. We are not looking forward

 to 28 degrees F with a much lower wind chill! We are thankful that

cold snaps like this only last a couple of days!

Welcome to the Bridge Tender's House

The pale yellow Bridge Tender's House adorned with a few bright flowers

 is a welcoming presence in Lafayette Park. Situated right on the river bank,

 the historic abode once served as home for the bridge tender whose job

 was to open and close the original swing bridge for boats.

That bridge was demolished to make way

 for the Edmund Pettus Bridge in 1940.

Skywatch, November Sunrise

The sunrises are earlier now that we are no longer on Daylight Savings Time,

 and oh my, what a spectacular one we had earlier this week!

Q is for QUILTS

Q is for QUILTS, and I love the colorful QUILTS made by TwoJean Designs.

 She makes all kinds...for the bed, the couch, the wall, the kids,

 the table and even inexpensive mini token quilts. 

The Selma quilter often sells her creations at crafts shows

 and has an Etsy shop online.

It's that time of year when arts and crafts shows abound in our area,

 The next big event is the West Dallas Tractor Show 

this Saturday, Nov. 9 in Orrville.

Heights, Replacing the Valley Creek Bridge

It's Theme Day for City Daily Photo Blogs, and we're featuring HEIGHTS.

Construction cranes have dominated the West Selma skyline since early summer

 as the bridge over Valley Creek on Dallas Avenue is replaced.

 The new crossing should be in place by spring.
