Another week is in the books. We took a quick trip to Nashville to visit our daughter and family. I want to tell you, my faithful readers, that I am going to drop the follow.it email feed. I will continue to post here on my blog site, "The Queen of Seaford," but I will also be posting on Substack. On Substack there is a way to sign up to receive emails of new posts. As I figure it out, I will be sure to post about it here. I won't cancel follow.it quite yet, allowing for an overlap.
So without further delay, let us continue with last week's photos.
Day 265-
In my daughter's neighborhood in Nashville, they go all out for Halloween decorations. Our son-in-law pulled out some of theirs while we were there. The grandkids love it. The younger one was carrying a life-sized skeleton around with him, he's two and a half. Sunrise accentuated the bats and skeleton hanging on the porch.

Our drive home took us through Chattanooga and Atlanta. Saw a lot of signs for both Rock City and Ruby Falls. I remember the 'See Rock City' advertising on barns. It was an iconic sighting. Met a woman a few weeks ago, and the conversation somehow got to the 'See Rock City' signs along the highways. She had never heard of them. I was dumbfounded. So for those who haven't seen a 'See Rock City' sign for a long time, here you go! They are no longer painted on the roof of barns along the highways but signs of their own, mimicking the barns.

Day 267-
The Golden Asters are in full bloom. They are nice native blooms, blooming at the same time as most of the Goldenrods we have popping up. Chrysopsis mariana is the most common one here in South Carolina. Common names are Golden Aster, Maryland Aster, and Maryland Golden-aster. I like the shaft of sunlight hitting the flowers, making them shine.

Day 268-
This Gnome house is a favorite of so many of us in the neighborhood. I saw activity with the gnomes and thought the owner was just moving them to cut the grass. Next time I drove by, she had set up a yard sale for the gnomes. It is so cute. I'm eager to see what she does next with them.

Day 269-
Driving home the other night, we finally got a little bit of rain. I think my rain gauge reading was 2/100th of an inch...not much! We did have a few raindrops on the grill of the truck.

Day 270-
While waiting for the show to begin, I took a few photos of the Peace Center, where we were to see Lyle Lovett. He puts on such a great show. By showtime, the seats were all filled. When I bought the tickets the floor seats were already sold out. We were able to get row A, center seats, in the first balcony. Really like the seats.

Day 271-
This native flower is such a nice burst of blue color in the fall, where there's a lot of yellows, oranges, and reds. Blue mistflower, Conoclinium coelestinum, is perennial and will spread where it is happy. Mornings are a great time to capture the sunlight sparkling on the blooms.

That's all for this week. Next week I will include a link to my Substack page.
A great week for your photos--as is always the case. Thanks for taking us along for your trip. It looks like they have more Halloween decorations up than we do up here! Have a great week ahead!
