That can mess up your whole day. My computer decided it was time to add the latest QuickTime, iTunes and ActiveX Kilibits update all at the same time.  Something had to give and it gave. Thankfully,  I use Norton Save & Restore on this machine and I used my Symantec Recovery Disk to get myself out of a mess. The utilities let me run CHKDSK /f and I was able to reroute the corrupted file around the bad blocks or sectors. It worked. I ran all kinds of tune ups tonight and seems to be nice and stable again. That’s a good think because I have a lot going on tomorrow. Typography, color breaking, web site work… and some stationery.

Working on some drawings based on my series of shots at Tanner’s in Ivyland, PA

We found really nice Mums and Gourds at the Farm & Garden Station here in nearby Ivyland, Pennsylvania. Not too far from here out old Almshouse Road in (depends on your source of infor­mation) Ivyland or in Warminster, Pennsylvania. I notice the same problem with Tanners in the web look-ups. The shots that I have here were done on October 10, 2009 in the afternoon. The tracks were quiet but the New Hope & Ivyland Railroad crosses near the property — hence the name “station”.  It was a nice day and my wife Sue wanted to go bring home some Fall decora­tions.  So that was exactly what we did.

The shop there had a couple Enormous Pumpkins on display. If you guessed the weight of the large one inside you could win it. Then you would have to figure out exactly what you were going to do with the rotting hulk and seeds… Clever. The store at the Station doesn’t really have a great deal to sustain it during the winter months. It gets pretty darned quiet around January there but each Spring they continue to be a good source of Mother’s Day plants and flowers. Lots of nice hanging plants. Anyhow I enjoyed bringing my camera and catching the color and light patterns. Here I’ll share them with you in a little NextGEN Gallery. Incidentally the NextGEN Galleries are very compatible with CoolIris and it makes a nice little slide show of the images.
