We're getting several rainy, dreary days in a row, which always makes me realize how dependent I am upon sunshine. I guess it's a good thing I don't live in England or in the Pacific Northwest. I'm posting some odds and ends of photos, some of which some of you might have already seen.
I took this pic a few years ago when I was checking out the vintage country school I attended in first and second grades. As I was backing out of the driveway, suddenly there were two little goats who appeared to want to get into the car. No kidding, they chased me down the road about a quarter of a mile! And yes, when I was far enough ahead, I stopped to quickly get this photo before hopping back into the car and speeding off. I wanted these little creatures to go home, and not be out on the road where they could get hurt!
Blue skies and the old feed mill in Stillwater, Minnesota. A grain elevator (feed mill) has such a recognizable shape here in the upper midwest and all across the Great Plains.
In case anyone has a husband who isn't interested in accompanying them on a shopping spree, I guess this is Stillwater's answer to that problem. Actually, what I liked even more than the sign was the reflection of the buildings across the street.
Smokey, getting equal screen time
Marcia, from Birds, Blooms, & Books blog, mentioned in a comment on my Wednesday's post that the movie 'You've Got Mail' is a remake of the old 'The Shop Around The Corner' with Jimmy Stewart. I hadn't known that, nor had I ever seen the Stewart movie. So yesterday, Smokey and I watched 'The Shop Around The Corner.' What a cute movie! I do like the newer one better, especially because of the group hug with the dog at the end. Of course, Jimmy Stewart was wonderful, and I think that Margaret Sullavan was just as good as Meg Ryan in the role of the charmingly confused correspondent.
Smokey and I will have to watch 'You've Got Mail' to see if she agrees with me.
