Tall Tales from Kansas

Howdy from Lawrence, where the trees have suddenly decided to do their thing. Amazing what a little sunshine will do to sharpen up the fall color. .

I took these photos while on a drive through old west Lawrence earlier in the week. It was one of those drive, pull over, jump out, snap snap snap, get back in the car drive, look, repeat.

I am taking my mental health in my own hands this weekend and flying to California to see sister. Yes, when I have been fully informed that flights will be cancelled. I will be channeling my inner Dottie, who always travels with the attitude of “it will be what it will be“. It is my way of revolting against the current state of affairs.

I will bring projects to entertain myself when I begin to get annoyed.

I have always wanted to visit the ginkgo trees at the Huntington in the fall. So here I go, come hell or high water. Sister has talked me into going with her to a swim class at the Rose Bowl Aquatics Center. She has warned me about laughing in class and being a buffoon.

She has been assured I will be on my best behavior. Besides, she is the one who usually gets us into trouble, not me.
