A Weekend In November

 I thought I would share a typical weekend in November. Michael and I  went to the Les Amies Arts and Crafts show located in the Events Center in downtown Natchitoches. I didn't buy anything but I came away with some interesting ideas. We then went riding the back roads so I could take a few pictures.

 The following photos were taken on the road between I-49 and Powhatan, LA. Michael and I love the scenery along this stretch of Louisiana. The tree above reflects the lovely colors of Fall.

 Pastures, bayous, cypress trees, and a barbed wire fence all in one picture. (All things I love)

 I love to see cattle in open pastures. It always brings a serene feeling - a connection to the land.

 This last photo is my favorite - note the old jon boat on the bank. I love the silos- this one is a keeper. After a long ride we went junking.

 I always start junking at Johnson's Corner at the foot of the Grand Ecore Bridge. Ms. Joyce always has a nice selection of junk.

 Once again I did not buy anything. I have become very picky when junking. However, it is my FAVORITE thing to do. I thank Michael for tagging along - he is very patient junking partner.

 The next stop was the Goodwill - I usually don't go on Saturday (amateur day) but since I had not bought anything I thought I would make a stop. I did find some vintage books and few odds and ends. I did not take pictures, but we visited with my mother-in-law and other family members for quite awhile. After not eating we were starving.

 A trip to El Nopal seemed in order. This is our favorite Mexican restaurant and we find the food and service excellent.  We headed home after a great meal. Some relaxing, then washing and folding  clothes, and minor housework.

I awoke Sunday morning to a lovely fire in the fireplace that Michael had built. The weather has turned cold and it finally feels like Autumn. I know it will not last but I will enjoy it while it remains. The rest of the day involves football, cooking, and crafting. I love this kind of day. Share with the readers what you did this weekend. Thanks for viewing my blog - I really enjoy hearing from my readers.
