It's About Time!

It's almost time.  I can feel it in the air.  The early mornings are a little cool and crisp, and the oppressive humidity that we had just a few weeks ago is gone for now.

Earlier this week I saw my first yellow sulfur butterflies of the season as I drove down the road.  My friend Joe once told me that the appearance of the yellow sulfur butterflies was another sign that it was almost time.

Time for what, you ask.  Why college football of course.

Go Hogs!!

 And since college football, especially Razorback football, is one of my favorite things, I'm linking up with Laurie for Favorite Things Saturday.  Stop by Laurie's place to see other favorites.

P.S.  Look what I found sitting on my doorstep when I went out to get the mail today, and from none other than that sweet Laurie.  She is so thoughtful.

First was this cute brass plate holder.  Laurie remembered how much I liked it when she showed pictures of hers a while back.  She recently found this one at an estate sale and thought of me.

It works so well with my pig plate that I think I'll have to use it as a serving piece for the Game Day Watch Party we're having at our house September 4th.

Also in the box were these beautiful eggs with the sweetest birds painted on them.  I think they look very French.  Laurie said that she has lots of these, and she remembered how much I liked them from one of her earlier posts.

I guess sometimes it just pays to covet your "neighbor's" things!
