HARVEST, CORNICOPIA, BONFIRE



I love fall time. It's so awesome. I'd like to redecorate the blog so it feels like Autumn, but I don't really know how. And by the time I figured it out, it'd be time to write about how much I love Christmas. What if I decorate by throwing some random fall-ish words around like FOLIAGE or CIDER. That way when you glance through the page, it looks at least phonetically festive. What do you think? Ya, kind of ridiculous.
Here's a couple pictures though to help the vibe along...and a few clips of songs. The Autumn songs start and end with Dave Brubeck and they're all music, no words. You can find them over to the right and listen while you read or do homework or play farmtown on facebook, or whatever it is you're doing :)



PUMPKIN PATCH


Since the tour ended last week, I've been getting cozy at home after my move back to the great Buckeye state. The Gartley men had one last afternoon motorcycle trip while the weather was warm enough. We took some country roads to the world famous G&R tavern, home of some disgustingly unhealthy and regretfully delicious fried bologna sandwiches in Waldo, OH.

Where's Waldo, I'm sure you're asking?



CORNCOB PIPES!

I used to love these books :)

BUTTERNUT SQUASH

Oh speaking of puns...I wanted to work one in about how my dad's name is Dave (or David rather) and how He and one of his sons owns a Harley Davidson (my brother dick, not me). Something like:
Harley...David's one. or Harley, David's son's?
I know these puns are terrible. Even worse than Busch League. I probably can't make a good one because I own a Honda. Send me some ideas.

SCARECROWS


Dave and brother dick, the G&R, our bikes, a truck, and a mailbox

SPICED APPLES



Probably the most interesting thing I've done since being back is going to a Columbus Crew soccer game. I haven't lived in central Ohio since the MLS started, so it was a new thing for me. I was totally into it. (PILGRIMS) Granted it was nothing remotely close to the rest of the world's love for the futbol, I still love how rowdy these soccer fans are and had a great time.

So that's about it for now. For the most part, relocation has been pretty simple. I do still miss my friends in Nashville, and I miss how easy it is to get decent Mexic(HARVEST FESTIVALS)an food, but here there is Sauerkraut on pizza and people play Euchre...pretty awesome.

MULLED WINE
CORNMAIZE
COLORFUL LEAVES!

I'm out of Autumn things. I'll catch you later.

I am sitting in a long boring meeting and doing workerly things like checking your blog. It made me laugh. I'd better start paying attention again now. Oh, You posted a picture but didn't mention the utterly fabulous stuffed pumpkin dish your mother made.
