How goes your week? Did you have a good weekend?  We saw the grands, so needless to say, ours was great. Miss E. had a volleyball tourney and their team won. It was a nail biter. Tight and fast.

 

There was a visitor on their patio Saturday:)

 

 The leaves are turning, which made for a pretty drive.

 

On the drive, we saw several cotton fields.

 AND

Remember this guy, we picked up at one of the grocery stores a couple of weeks ago?

 

Last week they were giving them away. 

Which is definitely better than pitching them, but I can't help thinking a little bit of water would have gone a long way towards keeping them saleable.
