I'm sharing Everyday Images of late using the prompts provided by Kym at A Fresh Cup Of Coffee. She posts new prompts every other Thursday and the most recent are-

Beauty in the neighborhood...

Not a super interesting photo, but four buckets of rocks are sitting beside the lower level garage waiting on a small waterfall repair. 

The repair was supposed to happen last week so hubs turned it off so it could dry out and then it rained. It's funny how much I miss the sound of the waterfall. You get used to that and it's the perfect soundtrack for relaxation. The repair (as I understand it, which I'll admit is not very well) requires a little bit of concrete so it needs to be somewhat dry. This is the waterfall sans water-

Lots of rocks though! Once the repair happens (fingers crossed for tomorrow) we'll add a few more rocks where needed. 

And it goes without saying that by 'we' I mean the hubs.

The weather was gorgeous here yesterday so after lunch we decided to take the boat for a spin and fill the gas tank. We let the little brown dog come along for the ride and let's just say he can kind of wreck the tranquil feel you're aiming for. 

He's cute though. 

Pulling up to the gas dock means the dock boy must get the bumpers out and attached before we 'park'.

Hey, guess what? I'm the dock boy. 

I know. It surprises me pretty regularly too. 

We have four bumpers on the boat, but conveniently only needed two today. Nobody was on the lake so the marina wasn't rockin' and rollin'. The sweet dock girl (actually employed by the marina) who filled our tank and handled the lines like it was no big deal, also happened to be the owner of not one but two Boykins.  

We had a nice time chatting about all the naughty things they get into and how many belly surgeries they've had (hers is recovering from one currently), and how they can swallow a sock in the blink of an eye but we love them anyway. 

at my feet~

Water.

Hubs and I went out to breakfast Saturday and the restaurant has a coffee station where you can help yourself. Part of helping yourself means choosing a mug and I picked this one for hubs. Go Big Orange! 

A picture I snapped on a walk in my neighborhood last week. Gotta give the hometown team some love too, right? They definitely need it this season. 

Porch pumpkin close up...

Coming under the bridge today. That circle may originally have been red, but when you mix red and yellow (the sun) you get orange...

True story...when we were in uni we used to go to a friend's lake house and hubs was a maniac on water skis. The guys would ski under the bridge and get as close as they could to the bridge sides to see whose spray went the highest.  

Probably why most lakes now have no wake rules under bridges. 

new and/or used~

Are you watching the newest season of The British Baking Show? My daughter2 and I watch it together apart. What that means is she watches on her television in Tennessee and I watch on my television in South Carolina and we text the entire time. We watched the newest episode Monday night. 

We love Nigella and are going to work the word unctuous into our vocabulary this fall. 

books~

This stack is on my nightstand as I type. Not a single library book because I'm determined to read through some of the books friends have given me recently before I check out anything else from the library. 

Also this stack is on the bookshelf in my office. My parents had a pretty amazing reference library, their own church library if you will, and when my mama passed away my sister still had some of her books from when my mom lived with her. She sent me some pictures asking if I wanted any and I said send me all the C.S. Lewis. 

So she did. There's more but these are in a section all together so it was. easy to snap a photo. 

These photo prompts are fun and stretch your brain a little too. Why not give it a try?
