We are preparing for a trip to the lake, today.
Labor Day weekend is the last big weekend of Summer 2010.
I have a post started in draft for Saturday Photo Fun II. The image, above, is included in that post.
Something New
I added something to my sidebar, very early this morning, I hope will become a regular feature.
While looking at the list of blogs I follow, I saw a delightful post from Vignette Design. It inspired me to begin the new sidebar feature.
In this first edition of Posts to Take Note, I used one of my own images. In the future I hope to add the blog authors’ photos. The feature was a spur of the moment idea, in the wee small hours of the morning.
As you can see, from the image, we are fans of Coppola Wines, as well as fans of Coppola.
Delores’ (Design Vignette) photos are beautiful. Her post about the Coppola Winery is well written.
I was taken with Francis Ford Coppola’s quote.
Enjoy!

Pat, what a beautiful mum. Hope you enjoy your weekend at the lake.
What a beautiful photograph and sweet idea. I would have missed that post, but I am clicking over there right now to read it. I love how one blog leads to another.
Have a great weekend! Busy weekend here too, but I am looking forward to reading more about the photography! Thanks!
Have a wonderful weekend away. We are preparing to spend the weekend at the Oregon Coast with family and then on to another coastal community for a week of vacation. The last get-away for the summer! Looking forward to visiting you a time or two while I'm away and have access.

Hello Pat- I love your new side bar feature. Your right, Vignette Designs photos are so beautiful! I love the message in Mr. Coppola's statement concerning the development of his winery and how he would wish for it to be enjoyed by others. I love coming to your site for it's beauty, stories, and teachings so that others can be inspired to grow. Thank you for everything you bring to your blog. It's a joy to visit. Kris
As you prepare for autumn, we celebrate the 1st day of spring tomorrow! Your photo is beautiful, have a good weekend and I look forward to seeing more of your beautiful photos are your return.

Hi Pat! What a great idea! I'll look forward to seeing your featured posts! I scrolled down to peek at your fall changes...beautiful! I love your mantel! simply elegant! I hope you are having a great week!...hugs...Debbie
Have a fun and safe weekend. Pretty photo.
Enjoy your trip. Ours are here at the beach for the week, and then back to school. It sure went fast.
Of course, September is still loaded with summer here, and the water is warm and the beaches quiet! My fave month!
Have fun!!!
I know you are going to miss going to the lake. I would, too. I hope you have a great last weekend there.
I love your new feature and think it is a great idea. I read Delores' post and it was good. Love your photo as always!!

Hope you enjoy your weekend at the Lake-It is kind of bittersweet to know that this is the last big hurrah and signals the end of Summer for most of us~ Diana
Enjoy the holiday! I'm looking forward to some grilled burgers myself~even if I have to get out & do the grilling!
I visited Vignette Designs too and thought that to be a most interesting post. I would love to visit that winery especially since I also enjoy some of their wines. The quote is wonderful and BTW, LOVE you pic of the mums. That color mum is amazing. I have been planning my Fall garden and trying to decide what color to plant in terms of mums. You helped me make that decision. My search is on for that mum to plant en masse at the end of my driveway and also by my front mailbox.

Great idea about the new feature of your blog, Pat. Beautiful flower!...Christine
Ahh Pat, thanks for the mention. That was so nice of you! I like your photo of the Coppola wine too. When they open the pool area, I'll send you a photo. Have a wonderful long weekend at the lake. Sounds like fun. I can't believe summer is winding down--I'm not ready. We send our son off this Sunday to Italy for fall semester, so we are staying home for a change.
Thanks again for your support! Delores
Hi Pat, This is a very special weekend. I know you will enjoy Labor Day weekend at the lake.
We are going to my brother's 50th wedding anniversary. It will be a family reunion. It will be held in Waynesville, NC, which is less that an hour from Franklin.
I am off to check your sidebar. I know it will be as wonderful as Back Porch Musings. A nice idea Pat.
Have a great weekend at the lake.
Hugs, Jeanne
Just found your blog and wanted to say,"Hi". Can't wait to follow you on all your adventures. Have fun at the lake :o)
PS. I've also added you to my blogroll...hope you don't mind!?!?!www.galleryclassic.blogspot.com
what a beautiful idea. I love the floral photograph. Can't wait for the next photo editing lesson!
Nice photo but nothing new about that. I did not know there was a Francis Coppola winery - interesting! W.C.C.
Enjoy the lake! I like the idea of your "feature" posts.
Pat, I'm late on seeing your previous fall post with the mantel - I just love it...so pretty. And the colors of the chairs in the breakfast room are perfect! Have a wonderful weekend. Linda
Have a fun-filled grandloves weekend...:)
Great idea Pat! I'm just getting caught up after a horrible week with Allie's little crisis. Have a wonderful weekend! We're expecting Hurricane Earl to hit our beaches this weekend!
xoxo Pattie
Hi Pat, I thought I passed you last week on vacation. Did you happen to visit Mt. Vernon?
