Kudzu and the Good Old Days

I really appreciate all the folks that read my blog. I am new at blogging so I have much to learn!
I want to figure out how to post a link to other blogs that I read regularly. That is just one thing of many I need to learn how to do!!

It is warm here now like summer again, except for all the leaves flying off the trees! In the wind today they were really coming down. I sat out on the porch this morning and drank my coffee. That is always pleasant!

I talked to my brother today. He said that he had just gotten back from a pleasure trip. I asked him where he had been. He said he took his mother-in-law to the airport!! I hope his wife didn't overhear that comment or he will have a lump on his head!! LOL

I'm sure that anyone from the southern states will recognize the picture above! It is kudzu, a vine that will spread like crazy and it covers poles, lines, trees, and anything in it's path if it isn't stopped! I think it's so pretty though! My Dad always liked it too, and tried to get a start of it in his back yard. My brother said, "Pappy you are crazy if you get that stuff started! It will cover your whole house!" It probably would have too, but he was never able to get it started!

My brothers always called our Dad "Pappy", but I always called him "Daddy." I was the baby and the only girl so I was pretty spoiled, and I was always "Daddy's girl!" I would much rather have been out working in the fields or helping feed the animals, gather the eggs, etc., than to be in the house! I guess I was what they called, "a tom boy!" Ah, those were the good old days!
