Social Season

Selma's fall social season begins with Sturdivant Hall's Barbecue on the Green.

 Tables decorated with autumn foliage spread across the courtyard

 for an evening of musical entertainment and barbecue.

 The event benefits the museum.

Central Alabama Dry Goods (Signs, Signs)

Central Alabama Dry Goods Co. was here.

How neat that so many of Selma's old buildings still bear

 the signs of yesteryear's businesses!

Empty Bowls for KENYA

If you craft a bowl and fill it with soup, people will come

 and eat and help feed hungry school children in KENYA.

That formula earned Selma's version of the Empty Bowls Project

 a large crowd Tuesday night. Sponsored by the Selma Art Guild

 and held at Carneal ArtsRevive, local potters made the bowls,

and a lot of good cooks made the soup and cornbread. Donations go

 to Integrity Worldwide's school lunch program at the 

Meto, Kenya Primary School. The Selma-based charity

 makes frequent trips to Kenya and focuses on developing

 "these rural Maasai communities through health,

 education and ministry programs."

Now the Day is Over

Now the day is over,
Night is drawing nigh,
Shadows of the evening
Steal across the sky.

We've had some really remarkable sunsets lately!

(The verse is from the prayer hymn, Now the Day is Over, the words of which 

are comforting any time but especially during the week that we remember

 the evil events of Sept. 11, 2001.)

Ye Olde Phone Booth

I'm not sure what the story is here, but there was no phone connected

 when I attempted to use it! :)

However, it sure makes an interesting attraction along Broad Street,

 and I appreciate that it was wheelchair accessible.

Harvest

H is for HARVEST as in muscadines!

Muscadines are ripening every day, and most are free for the finding.

 The vines are prolific, and this summer's rains brought an abundance. 

We boiled the juice out of these tasty fruits and got several jars of jelly.

 There were more, but we have shared!

Hummingbird

A hummingbird pauses atop a garden cage just waiting

 for his turn at the feeder nearby.

Catching these hyper little birds in a posed position for even a moment

 is a challenge, but my son had the patience to wait!

The Labor Day Buck

What a beautiful sight this Labor Day morning!

Our son spotted this whitetail buck across the fence from our backyard,

 and our daughter-in-law grabbed her camera. If you look closely, you can see

 how tall the deer's antlers are and see that they are still in velvet.

In the Pink

It's September Theme Day, PINK, over at City Daily Photo Blogs, and pink boots

 seem to be all the rage these days. Have you noticed how many boots are pink?

 Would you like or do you have a pair of pink boots? Selma certainly has a good supply!
