"My daughter, walking through the stubble of a North Idaho wheat field. This picture reminds me of an Andrew Wyeth painting" -- Family Phil.

*Above all else, make sure you check out the new blog started by Trish Gannon, ace reporter/editor/all-round-good-gal for The River Journal in Bonner County/northwestern Montana here. I'm excited to add Trish to the North Idaho Blogroll (when Blogmeister Ken returns Monday). She joins Marianne and Cis to give us even more good coverage from the north country. BTW, you can read the online version of The River Journal here.

*Cis Gors/From A Simple Mind shows why we don't need the West Lakeshore Drivers' steekin' part of Sanders Beach to enjoy the north shore waterfront with photos of Tubbs Hill here and here. Meanwhile, Mari/Dogwalk Musings provides her account of the day with Cis here. And Stebbijo here. (Can't believe you ladies didn't swing by the SR office to say, hi.)

*"Another season has come. The fall palette is awakening with vibrant colors as life gradually disappears from the myriad of green leaves which popped into an expectant world from their birth buds just a few months ago" -- Marianne Love/Sight Detour here.

*Sue Turner/Tumblewords shows us her way with words with the poem, "On The Cusp of Sunday," here.

*Toad/Synpatic Disunion reacts to a package from HBO's favorite Brit, Marmitetoasty, here.

Danger, Danger, Will Robinson. HBO notes that MikeK/Idaho Kennedys and newboy Cinnamon Spice haven't posted in two weeks. C'mon, kids, we're depending on you to make things even more interesting at HBO Central

Meanwhile, Bayview Herb bird-dogs Waterford Park homes here, OrangeTV enjoys Huckleberries print exposure here, CDADave's still out there somewhere alookin' for a new home here, Kale reacts to Congressman Foley's resignation here, and The Perambulator sends YouTube greetings from London Bridge here.
