No Room at the Inn

The plan WAS to go to Door County next week during the week to not only get some fall color Door County photos but also talk to the Dovetail Gallery and perhaps a couple others galleries. We like going up the 2nd week of October as it's typically less crowded!

So we were looking at dog friendly places to stay and . . .OH OH they are all filled! hmmmmmmm There is a serious lack of dog friendly places. Julies next to Peninsula State Park is full, a place in Baileys Harbor is full and The Shallows near Egg Harbor is iffy! Not sure if there are any other places. We use to have a cabin we stayed at but the last time I looked it was now a multi-million dollar amazing house instead. So we're sort of scrambling looking for places and might have to stay in Sturgeon Bay which, while it's IN Door County it's not what I call "Door County".

Elwood and I were assessing the tower wall and it seems that while we are away it grows, almost triples in size but then when we go to look at it it's back to normal.  We started to make plans and we believe all the plants we need are in my current rock wall at home.  DIRT is the one problem we are facing. We're going to need a lot of it to fill in cracks. One bag at a time.

We're going to have wild flowers in the wall also in a number of places! But - it's a long long term project.

Good to see the new shows I like are getting good ratings. Detroit 187 keeps getting better and is the #2 best new show according to a poll in the USA Today.  Blue Bloods and  Hawaii Five-O and The Defenders are all up there.  Nikita is up there but have not had a chance to see it.

Check out our Sweet Autumn Clematis and Blake. This is it's 2nd year (and Blakes 14th).   The plan was for two more around the deck (the plant, not Blake) but I was concerned about bee's. The reviews all said it had a VERY fragrant aroma but in reality it is not much at all and I have only seen on bee on it.  

So next year two more will go up! hmmm seems fuzzy - sorry.

Have I ever shown you what my canopy looks like?

I see FOX News has employed every 2012 Republican presidential nomination who isn't currently holding office that might run for office and is not named Mitt Romney employed on there fair and balanced staff.  Many people are saying this is going to be a big problem  because they will have problems staying  fair and balanced.  But . . . .will it really be THAT big of a problem? They are not fair and balanced NOW.  I feel they are the biggest threat to democracy pumping out blatant lies, misinformation and half truths!

O'well.

Have a GREAT rest of the week!!  Awesome weather
