There's a thriving Amish community out in eastern New York, where we went for Thanksgiving.  I've just posted some photos of the beautiful countryside in that neck of the woods.  Come see!

Oh, and while you're there, you might want to become a follower.  In just a few weeks, I'll be embarking on another year-long project, and it will take place over there.  It's hard to believe that this 365 project is coming to a close!  It seems like just yesterday that I posted my first post. Thank you all for sticking with me this long!

This is a real street in Harwich, just a few miles away from this street.

I've strayed just a little off-theme in my daily photos lately -- but as the blog header says, the theme is to embrace words, actual or implied.  And way back last January, I set up some rules for my 365 project, and one of them was: Thou must stick to the theme, OR twist it to thy liking.  So, in that case I've succeeded. 


But today I've got not only words, but a sign, and books! Three of my favorite things.  And now I'm back on track, and all is right with the world.

Sort-of ready for business at The Burger Queen in Provincetown.

Just behind that door and down the hallway, you'll find that justice reigns supreme.

...and suddenly, up ahead on the trail, a sign appeared.

First there were 6-word stories.  Then there were 10-word stories. 

Leave a comment and tell your very-short-story in 6 or 10 words.

In case you weren't aware.

Hurricane Earl fizzled.  Now the sun is shining and it's a beautiful Labor Day weekend. 

This bridge over the Centerville River attracts lots of teenagers who like to jump in at high tide.  But I'm not sure -- is jumping allowed or not allowed?  Click the photo to see it large, and you be the judge.

There’s a crow flying
Black and ragged
Tree to tree
He’s black as the highway that’s leading me
Now he’s diving down
To pick up on something shiny
I feel like that black crow
Flying
In a blue sky

We have to have some birds to go along with yesterday's bees, right?  The sign above is located outside the very cool Black Crow Gallery in Sandwich, where I went with my fellow funky chick pal Sherry.

And the funky chick below is one of Sherry and Gordon's new chickens.  Her coop is right beside  the honey bees in yesterday's photo.  Fresh eggs and fresh honey ... delicious.

Some things are hiding in plain sight.  You just have to look a little harder.

Pilgrims only.

We all have a mental image of the myth of Sisyphus -- a little guy pushing a big boulder up a steep hill, only to have it roll back down again (in the Bugs Bunny cartoon version, the boulder would smoosh him flat as a pancake in the process).

But like this sign implies, I think life is more of a gentle uphill climb -- some days a little steeper than others.  But other days we get a nice downhill stretch, with a beautiful view and a cool breeze.  And that makes all the difference.

I'm heading outside today, to tackle some hills.  May yours be gentle and easy.

My daughter and I spotted this at the hairdressers, and send it out to all our fellow gingers out there. Lest we forget.

One stop shopping -- salvation and a dining room set. A heavenly combination.
