Down in the Woods

We went down in our field/woods several days ago...Here is the well the feds put in to monitor the water for contamination.

tree along the creek barely hanging on

Big culvert the city put in..I like all the junk they put in as fill.  ha

bird nest safe in some briars

wonder what lives there!

Freaky Friday

I did some exploring while Richard was working on a survey  a week or so ago. This picture was taken from the entrance of one side of the shed...would have been fun to go inside and look around, but didn't feel comfortable doing that...

 Stuffed bunny laying out in the middle of the yard


My Little Pony...I wonder about who played with these items!
Will post about some of the plantings here also..

Turtle Discovers Spring


We were down on the mae place Saturday and saw this turtle coming out of it's hiding place..




looked like a good place, burrowed under grass,leaves and dirt and under the safety of a big Sycamore root

He looks rather serious!

Rockets

From four years ago....annoying parachutes and rockets blasted off over at school that ended up over here...one time I was relaxing in my living room and kids came running by the window chasing their rocket stuff...about scared me to death. and it should have scared someone at school....kids running off of school property like that and across a state highway!

Out of Place

Random Pictures

I would like to take a ride in this boat!

Not the best picture, but was a neat boat!

breakfast of champions!

lots of truck traffic in Memphis

plane landing

this guy has a sense of humor....and don't think it had been on here very long, as it looked to be in pristine condition....perhaps a fun use of older stuffed animals?

landscaping rock that looked like a seal to me....hahaha yeah I used my imagination!
