I prefer Delta Graffiti over the other sort

July 15, 2015 By Talya Tate Boerner 2 Comments

I prefer Delta graffiti to typical gangster graffiti. Delta graffiti is clear and to the point. Easy to read.

Really, it can be considered true signage.

Words to the wise.

Country song lyrics.

Yes, it may be grammatically incorrect, but still, there are no confusing symbols.

Plain, simple, countrified.

Delta graffiti.

Lake Signs

June 17, 2015 By Talya Tate Boerner 10 Comments

Happy Hump Day y’all! As I look though the photos I’ve taken while enjoying family time at Lake Norfork, I realize I’ve snapped lots of pics of lake signs. Not sure what that means (if it means anything), other than I like signs that remind me of the lake. Some are handmade, others are vintage, others simply signify a special place.

This is the twig sign that greets us at our little resort. Perfect lake sign!

Lake Signs - Welcome to the Lake

On our front porch. We have a fabulous view—gently sloping and clover-filled that leads to a quiet cove.

When the water at the end of the road means the lake, that’s a great thing.

Road Ends in Water Sign - Lake Signs

A great street name for those lucky enough to live at the lake.

Lake Signs - Dockside Drive

Old vintage sign. Love it!

Lake Signs - Boats for Fishing

After years of being stranded here and there in every remote cove on the lake, we have a glorious new boat. Believe me, we’d gladly “plant one” on ours. (Although she’s not an outboard.)

Is there a theme to the pictures you take? I also take lots of pictures of food and flowers. Especially obvious on my Instagram feed.

Carry on,

Cotton and Okra. Kissing Cousins.

Did you know cotton and okra are cousins? The plants are botanically related from the same scientific family Malvaceae.

The veined leaf shapes are very similar with a reddish purple spot at the base of each petal.

okra and cotton = cousins!

The blooms are similar too.

The final product!

okra and cotton - related plants!

One fills our bellies, the other covers our bellies. I love both!
