A low light shot gives me some blur. The moon is almost full again. It does look like a fall sky with color of blue last evening. The yards are so lush and green again and it is good to go into the fall with some sub moisture to support plants in the winter.
To have a little more variety on my blog, I shot this photo. My dad's old torch from the farm kept being moved from place to place. I moved it from his town garage to my place about 15 years ago. I remember watching my dad using this to solder something with the flame flaring out of it. We were back in the old machine shed and he had a metal tool with a corncob handle, heating up that rod. I can still hear it's pumping sound as he built up the pressure on the tank. I have yet to clean it up but now that it is in a newer place again, in my garage, maybe I can get that brass shining again. The wooden handle is is great shape considering that my dad started farming in 1951. I am sure he picked this up at a hardware store back then.
This old Art Deco cup is not functional as it is glued to gather from being dropped sometime in its life. I think it came from an old auction box.
It is a shorter blog for me today. I hope everyone is well today. Thanks for stopping by today.

I enjoyed the photo of your dad's old torch. That red handle is in good shape - reminds me of the rolling pin handles on mama's rolling pin from 1947. Don't work too hard today.
Maybe the Morning Glory will return tomorrow :)
My granddad had a torch like your dad's I remember him using it to remove old paint off the door before he repainted. I doubt if they even bother doing that step nowadays !
