Home in Alabama

I took a break from this blog for a while after my father died recently. I went home for his funeral. I try to keep this blog on the light side, so I don't have a lot to say about that, but I did take some photos. I went walking in the woods with my aunt, who took along her dog:

I noticed that she was using an untraditional leash... She lost the leash and instead substituted an electrical extension chord. That's how we do it in Walker County :).

Also to make sure my mom can defend herself with my father gone, I taught her how to shoot a rifle. She was dressed somewhat inappropriately, but in a way it was appropriate since intruders don't wait for their victims to get dressed.

My tomatoes survived the trip home. I soaked them thoroughly before I left, and they looked good when I returned.
