A portal to Hell has opened in my backyard. Last week I almost fell in on my lawnmower. Had to call a friend with a tractor to haul me out (thank you, good friend). Now I keep hearing voices from the hole. “Carolyn, come closer. We want you. Come to the edge of the pit. It’s always toasty in Hell. Come on down.” Should I be worried?

This has been a hard year of doors closing. When you’re young, doors open almost magically. New beginnings are so exciting. First date, first job, first semester of college, fist car. As time marches on, we learn about endings. This is life. For everyone. Money can’t protect you from it. I lost Beulah and Red from my animal family this year. And human losses too. Covid had made every single bit of it harder. For everyone I know. This is why I prefer dawn to dusk. Beginnings are filled with hope.

The beauty of fall coming. It's a beautyberry. A native shrub that is a gift to wildlife. 💜

This is my little Sorrow. I was horseback riding in the woods when I found her. She has aged into a sweet dog. She was a demon in her youth. She had her spleen removed yesterday, but the report today is that she's doing good. I'm going to visit her at TLC in a little bit. If she continues to improve she can come home tomorrow. Thank you all for your kind and healing thought and prayers.❤️🙏

It has taken me 3 days and 2 pairs of clippers but Tundra is shaved. I scalped her in places and couldn’t get others.. but the nasty snarls and hair clogs are gone. And I built a bonfire too. A farm gal’s work is never done. These were really good clippers--or so they were advertised. And one pair was new. And cost an arm and a leg. Her hair was just awful. And she squirms and acts like I'm killing her. What clippers do you guys recommend? Tundra hates being clipped, but she loves the results. She's acting like a puppy this morning. I normally don't have this much trouble but her hair was freaky bad this time.

New haircut. Thank you Trish Patterson, hair artist! Trish does such a great job I actually put on makeup to get the cut. We laughed about it. Yesterday I realized I really am a senior. How did that happen?

We had a crazy fun time having a water pistol duel in Columbus, MS! Author Miranda James challenged me and I accepted. It was a draw. We all got drenched and will have a rematch one day. I love mischief and being with friends ❤️

These are the fallen flowers of the Confederate rose in my yard. It has a huge almost white flower that curls up like this and falls off.

Minimal damage. No power. But no injuries and all is good. A little update. All is well. Animals are good. Family and friends are safe and accounted for. Many blessings. Power is 4 miles down the road—do you have an extension cord I can borrow? Ha ha ha. Hopefully the hardworking crews will get it going here soon. I’m on the tail end of an old-outdated line that is always the last to get service.

Amy White requested some flower photos. This is what’s blooming at the farm today. The rain has beaten them up a little. Swipe to see them all 🌺🌸🌼🥀💐

Wild asparagus in a gentle rain. It's a beautiful fern for flower arrangements. Only the base of the stalk are edible.. these plants are 5 feet tall so very shrubby and full. 🌿
