I am joining Bleubeard and Elizabeth for this week's T Stands For challenge found here.

This is my summation of the past week:

Those are more photos of Teddy that I took during our trip to Ash Creek Open Space a few weeks ago. We went there shortly after a Summer thunderstorm had gone through, toppling some of the trees along the water. Both this tree and the one shown last week were fallen trees.

I needed a ticket into this week's T-gathering, so Teddy graciously offered to pose with magazine images of drinks. I now have enough drink related photos to use as tickets for 15 weeks. Teddy said to tell Elizabeth and Bleubeard that in about two months, an image that he thinks they will both love will appear in my T post. Teddy wanted to start with drink images with a Massachusetts reference, which he thought CJ might like. Teddy said if you look closely above the "C" in Cornucopia, you'll see a cocktail.

The weather was nice this past week, but definitely feels like Fall. Spring and Fall are my favorite seasons. On Wednesday (9/4/2019), some severe thunderstorms went through the area, and an EF-1 tornado touched down in Coventry and Mansfield, Connecticut around 5:40pm. Fortunately the damage was mostly to trees and not people and buildings.

I think I had mentioned to Elizabeth that an EF-1 tornado touched down in Bridgeport, CT back in June 2010, and I think it crossed I95, besides damaging buildings. I think two lines of thunderstorms passed through CT on Wednesday. The first one was more severe where I live. And it turns out my cat is an early weather warning alert system:  around 4pm, my cat became agitated, and around 4:20pm, the thunderstorm was overhead. A few weeks ago, the same thing had happened, and a very bad thunderstorm passed overhead that time, too. (This one didn't have as many close lightning strikes as that one did, though, thankfully.)

I'm in the process of going through my UFO (UnFinished Objects & Projects) pile to complete them or throw them into the scrap heap.

I made some postcards: Dragonfly Swirl, Mermaid 2, Girl Jumping Rope, and Hands.

I made an ATC: Rhinoceros Playing Card.

I took some photos: Great Egret Scratching, Snowy Egret Scratching, Colorful Boats Stormy Sky, Jetty Stormy Sky, Jetty Stormy Gray Sky, Very Small Shore Birds, Clouds and Sunrays, Herons and Egret, Statue Boy Fishing, and Harbor Boats.

Over the weekend, we watched The Ghost (1963) (DVD), Dementia 13 (1963) (DVD), Dominique is Dead (1978) (DVD), The Illusionist (2006) (DVD), The Wicker Man (2006) (DVD), and Dream House (2011) (DVD).

Dream House took place in the fictional Fairfield County, Connecticut town "New Ashford". I always find it a little amusing/odd that while Hollywood movies set in California use real town names, they tend to use fake names for ones set in Connecticut. (There is an Ashford in Windham County, Connecticut, and a New Ashford in Massachusetts, but no New Ashford in Connecticut.)
