Do You Know Someone That Knows Someone And They Know Someone Else? Great. Shown An Idea Today Driving To & From Franklin.

It was a pleasant type of day today. I went on an early morning appointment. Then I was off to Franklin. On the drive there and coming home I was listening to August Rain, "Show Me the Light." Maybe the title is not quite exact. As I am heading towards the area where the Renaissance type of castle is located I get this thought …  they never had the Renaissance Festival this year and what about renting the outdoor space and have a Harvest Worship Festival. I went to Whole Foods and purchased the items I needed. I inquired while there about the local farm fresh brown eggs. Someone inquired for me and found out that the local farmers are having a hard time getting the containers to put the eggs in to sell them in the store. Inquiring minds want to know so they ask questions. I did buy some fresh eucalyptus also.

Next, to TJ Maxx and I found a flavored coffee "butter rum." I will try it out tomorrow morning to see if it is truly flavored or does the label just say it is. I then felt led to drive past the building where I used to work when I first moved to this state. Then I get this nudge to go full circle and head to the Kroger and pick up a few items. As I am heading there I was so happy to see Tupelo Honey Café was still open for business. I first went there in Chattanooga. On my list was flowers. I walk into the Kroger and see yellow sunflowers. I like really good deals so I searched out the reduced flower section. Nothing there today that I liked. I then went back to the sunflowers and approaching them from a different direction I see the most beautiful sunflowers of a different color: Fall red orange tone with little stripes of yellow in them. I bought them for only $4.00 a bunch. My mind was working, they would be lovely mixed with the eucalyptus.

As I am heading home I go past the Renaissance castle and the thought rises up inside me again, Fall Harvest Worship Event outdoors. I continue heading back home and see a sign to purchase tomatoes. I decide to go a bit further because I knew there was a local farmer that had a vegetable stand on their property. You had to go up a winding type of driveway. I get there and drive up to the top only to find there was nothing there for sale. Maybe they stopped selling produce? So, I turn round and head back to find the tomatoes. Found them and what a pleasant surprise. A little sign posted that the person who grows the tomatoes had won ribbons for them for several years at a local County Fair. I love this local practice, a container is there for you to put the cash into it for the produce you buy. Honor system still in place got to love that.

I was a bit tired when I came home so I laid down and rested for a little bit. Woke up refreshed and packed up my DVD's into a container. I found a Gary Oliver cassette tape and I loved listening to a portion of it. Maybe the rest tomorrow.
