Some Random Recent Photos

 Hi everyone. Happy Friday.

 Nicole is not posting for Friday Face-Off this week, but Gillena is still posting her Friday Smiles, so let me share a few  very random photos from October and these first few days of November.

This first photo is taken on Main Street in my town, not Abbey Road in London. I couldn't get the 4th turkey in the line in my camera's field of view, so what I saw through my windshield doesn't really work for this photo. All I could think of was the old Beatles album cover as I stopped to let these 4 ( or the 3 you can see) wild turkeys cross the road.

In Barnes and Noble one day, I was trying to get ideas for a 2024 adventure.  The Greek Islands would be nice, wouldn't it? (dream...dream...dream).

Here's a bread baking bowl I did not buy but liked at King Arthur Flour. I may try the actual ceramics shop that makes this bowl to see if they sell them  as this bowl is made not too far from my house.)

Here's some interesting morning shadows in my house.

I stopped for a drink at McDonalds on one of my road trips.  I may not Jump for Joy being at McDonalds, but it's a good way to approach life. 

I liked the stonework around this drainage pipe. My road goes over it which you can see better in the  photo after this one.

I also like how this tree lost its leaves.  It almost looks like someone decorated it.

These clouds around the full moon made an interesting view.

Here's the front of my house in this next photo. Yes the front of my house is not finished. When we bought the house it was already 15 years old and not finished. It's on our list to finish it. Someday.

 I took this next photo since my big fall project has been to clear away the saplings that have been sprouting up close to the house. I weed wacked, used loppers on some saplings too big for the weed wacker, and I also  took the pruning saw and chopped down a few younger trees over in the woods. I still had a bit left to do when I took this photo. Maybe next spring we will get to putting in front steps and a walkway.  😏 I don't want to do anything more with this space though as no one ever uses the front door-even if there were steps, and I have so much going on in my backyard that I don't need any more yard maintenance. (But I also don't want trees growing up right along the foundation.)

While out working I also  spotted this huge hornet's nest on the outside of the screen porch. That needs to be removed so that to the list. 😏

And finally, we just recently had our first cold nights and frost.

I love how the hydrangea leaves get those beautiful purple color before they die and fall off.

Some leaves that have already come down get some pretty frost coverings.

And when I walked yesterday morning, I noticed there was already some ice starting to form in this little brook along the roadside.
