Helping YOU Live YOUR American Dream...
(not so) Speechless Sunday...
Friday, was one of those cold, damp, dreary days so atypical of the late autumn weather patterns here in middle Tennessee, not the early part of the season. Nevertheless, the beauty of the solace of a deserted rural road, the eerie silhouettes, and the last hurrah's of Indian summer, warmed the heart of this photographer on what most folks would call a morning not fit for man or beast ☺☺☺

Fireplaces - Hidden Dangers...
With old man winter just beginning to clear his throat with the first cool snaps of the winter season, many Americans begin firing up their fireplaces. But before you start enjoying the ambiance of the warm embers glow with the blanket, a bottle of bubbly and your sweetie, is your fireplace really safe from the hidden dangers that most folks do not even know about?
Statistically, over 1/3rd of Americans use solid fuel (wood) as their primary source of heat. Most of these are in rural areas. Statistics also show that 36% of residential home fires start in the fireplace or wood burning stove.
When was the last time you:
Be safe.
By practicing a few "rules of the road" you and your sweetie can cuddle and enjoy the bubbly☺☺☺

Friday's Fotos - Autumn...
Throughout time, Autumn has often been denoted as a time of change. Whether you are in the autumn of your life, or the seasonal equinox; autumn has several meanings. To me, Autumn is a time when the summer foliage pulls off its mask and the radiant hues burst forth in a of mix of vibrant and subtitle colors that the masters wished they could capture. Colors that only the Creator's pallet can generate.
Autumn is a disquieting time when the cycles of life and death, intermingle. For all that composes, decomposes. Only to start the cycle of life anew in the spring☺☺☺
