It’s Black Walnut Festival weekend. I’m nuttin’. As in, Black Walnuttin’.
I’m festivalin’ and carnivalin’ and footballin’ (Roane County Raiders defeated Clay County in a 61-16 smash in the Black Walnut Bowl!) and ridin’ in the parade! Bear with me? Full report (of my, of course, ridiculous parade experience) in pictures tomorrow!

And if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got to go get some funnel cake now.

P.S. We did not come home with a puppy this time.

Roane County nailed Clay County in the Black Walnut Bowl, 61-16, even when they put in all JV in the final quarter! Ha. I love my football boy.

Think about what a good well Betty drilled; it is still providing Sassafras Farm with natural gas! I'm sure her relatives have a sense of peace that Betty's cremains are at the well on your farm. The... - princessvanessa on The Goings On
