A morning stroll down Magnolia Lane with Mae 🌸
And of course Peaches is keeping watch from the shop window. Where should Mae walk next?

Small-town kindness still counts. 💛 A wave from the porch, a casserole when you're sick, a ride to church when the car won't start. Thankful This Week, day 2: good neighbors. Who's shown you a little kindness lately? #SmallTownLife

I managed to grow a sunflower, and it has bloomed amidst all of this shifting of weather we have here in Autumn ☺️🍂

A small, yellowish orange sunflower has bloomed amid a background of blue sky, tall trees, and an assortment of terracotta pots and black grow bags. A compact SUV hidden under a white cover and a wooden picnic bench are also visible on the right.

The county's got a new pumpkin, a missing rooster, and a suspicious vintage Pyrex casserole dish at church. Oh, and a free recliner that's seen better days. #CigaretteMom #FunnyNews #SarahBethTerry #NeighborhoodWatch #SmallTownLife
