Weekend Round-Up

Along a busy county road that meanders past several lakes stands Foxie Roxie with a  friendly wave to all who pass by. 

Each weekend her attire changes sometimes even twice a day. This outfit came from the Longville thrift shop, Tossed and Found. She's ready to party with her boxed Barefoot Wine nearby on the stump.  She makes me smile every time I pass her by. Foxie Roxie does her community a service. She's  across the street from a busy lake entrance and manages to slow the traffic down to check her out. 
Foxie Roxie has become lake favorite. She now has her own Facebook page.
