Reaching for a Snack Driving through the country, it's not uncommon to see a cow reaching its head through a fence to get a piece of tasty grass growing tall outside the pasture. In the case of this pachyderm, the tasty hay was up high and slightly boxed in. It was something to see this guy use his trunk to twist the hay out the side of the wires and pull out a huge clump to munch. Watching the end of the trunk feel around the box where he couldn't see and twist the hay out was amusing to watch. The reward must have been worth it, because he seemed to be having a good time.
Outside St. Mary de Castro This little church on the grounds of Dover Castle in England is St. Mary de Castro. The present Saxon period church was built on the Eastern Heights around AD1000 inside the castle walls. Walking up to it for the first time, I wasn’t really expecting much, but inside, it was quite impressive. It’s another wonderful example of the great surprises you find when visiting Dover Castle.
Out with the Turkey, In with the Tree I have a rule in our home. We don't even think about pulling out the decorations until December 1, or at least sometime after then. Maybe a week or two later. Ok, sometime before the 25th. At least you can't accuse me of jumping the gun and getting my holidays mixed up. This is a scene from last year at Sugar Land Town Square at a rare moment when someone wasn't getting their photo taken in front of the tree.
