I'll show you mine/you show me yours - Sa 10/26
Comments (20)After the Revolutionary War (War of Rebellion), a new country, the United States of America, was formed during the 1780s. Up to this war, the colonial monetary system was a Hodge podge system of bartering and the English Pound. Tobacco and nails were commonly used as money. (Maybe you've heard of a 6 penny or 10 penny nail?) After the Revolutionary War. the federal monetary system took some time to fully establish itself. Did you know that at one time individual states issued money? Tennessee was one of those as found on this promissory note where my g-g-grandfather promised to pay in 'the current money of Tennessee'. The note reads: "By the 25th of December next I promise to pay John Hord(ner)? the sum of Eight Dollars inthe current money of the State of Tennessee for value received of him this 8th of May 1827." Notice that the old style of writing the double-s appears in the word Tennessee. The first s is highly elongated above and below the base line. It has the same height and descender as the letter f and is commonly confused by transcribers. The differences are: The f's upper and lower loops are both on the right side of the vertical staff; For the s, the upper loop is the same but the lower loop is on the left side of the staff, like an elongated numeral 8. Sometime during the 1830s, this style of writing ss changed to the present modern form....See MoreI'll show you mine/you show me yours - Sa 8/10/24

I think this is a cute little shed w/ a Russian Olive tree. I'm told it's dropping thorns. Is that possible? Roses have thorns....and they don't drop them...?

I love that place! Also my niece works at the R. I. zoo. I have pics of her there with animals but won't post without her permission.
In my garden, these obscene looking things keep coming up, but I have not been able to catch one standing upright. They must emerge after dark and collapse before daylight.
They pull from the ground easily. Identified as Stinkhorn Fungus

He had the most beautiful eyes. He snuck up behind my husband and stuck his wet nose on his neck lol. Her planted his face in my bucket of food. I had a hard time holding on to my bucket!
