October is ... another Saturday poem
[Texas Lighthouse at Point Bolivar]
October
October is a cow, a female cow
She will moo for you and make you a shake
You have no choice but for you to rejoice
October is a pig, big old spoiled boar
He won't pay you never mind so you think
Walk past him quickly, he is gonna grunt
October is a baby chick, come quick
see how fast it learns, today tries to crow
Tomorrow it is to scratch, dig for worm
October is all the pets on my farm
Donkey Don, Billy goat, Cilly sheep, Shep
I've named them all, won't bore you with no more
Well except just one more, my favorite
October is my trusty horse, my love
Harley cares for me, nuzzles and gives me rides

~~ Friday’s Hunt v.2.16 -- "P" is for ... [sign says]
Friday's Hunt for the week of October 14th: (1) Starts with "P"; (2) Week's Favorite; and (3) Whole:
1. Starts with "P": Sign on the road said, "Pick your own Pumpkins."
Sure, you can pick from one of these or from any of those below. Also there are other's inside with the vegetables. Pumpkins are my favorite vegetable, baked in a pie. We first heard of that ruse in Vermont, south a bit from Stowe. Only it was apples this time, with a big sign before out on the road of course.
(2) Week's favorite: Do you have your Pneumonia shot yet? People over 60 should get one every five years. When I first started getting them it was every ten years. This was my first year for that five year thing.
There is a new Mexican restaurant across the street from the subdivision where we live before moving. Mrs. Jim and I stopped there to eat a bite. So we ordered off the 'Lunch Menu.'
Mrs. Jim and I each ordered the same plate. Actually we got two plates for a total of four. I had a beef taco and a guacamole salad on one and the other was two chicken enchiladas, rice, and a small bowl of beans charro. Before these came we munched on Corn Chips with sauce from three smaller bowls. That was all for $5.99. And since they didn't have their liquor license yet, drinks were free also. The food was great!!
(4) Bonus: I generally have a car of some kind. On our trip to Louisiana last weekend we came up on this vehicle full of little green aliens from another planet.
Click on it to get it large enough to see the green aliens inside. Some days they hide.
