Lily is still not well, and we don't want to leave her for long periods of time, so we broke out our cameras in Sunny's house and found some interesting things to shoot there. Here you see the hands of an antique French clock which has been in the Archibald family since the 1800's. The small hand on the right is the second hand and it moves from dot to dot, clicking off 60 dots every minute. The hand on the left is one of two that keeps track of the hours and minutes.
10:31 a.m.
Here you see a picture along the bottom of the face of the clock.
Each of the dots above the picture represents a day of the month.
10:33 a.m.
Detail of an antique mirror.
10:42 a.m.
Panel of a wall hanging depicting a wedding feast.
This was hand embroidered in Ecuador.
10:50 a.m.
After another cup of coffee, we loaded up our gear and headed out.
At a little park nearby, we found a survivor or two of July's heat.
11:56 a.m.
I often see this beautiful new home nestled near a pond and a weathered barn as I drive to Sunny's house.
The contrast intrigues me, and I have always wanted to stop and get a picture.
Today was the day.
12:13 p.m.
A heron flew over the pond and settled in.
12:18 p.m.
A nice spot to sit a relax for a bit.
12:25 p.m.
Lunch was next on the schedule. Sunny knew of a great little place in downtown Broken Arrow called Main Street Tavern. But I remembered that there was also a great little CHOCOLATE shop downtown, and I just happened to find a parking spot right in front of it!
After lunch, we introduced Jeanne to some excellent refined sugar....
1:45 p.m.
Little French Chef guarding the chocolate.
1:46 p.m.
Traffic came to a standstill as a train crossed the road on the way back to Sunny's.
1:56 p.m.
Back at the house, a loyal sister is at her post on a pillow beside Lily's cage.
Sassy faithfully stands guard.
2:22 p.m.
And that, Gracious Reader, is how I spent my August 12 of 12. Thanks for stopping by.
See you next month!
