The recent full moon came up on a night with thin cloud cover. This image was the result from the iPhone, with editing to a Black and White presentation.
We trust you are making the best of things and staying safe and healthy!
A lot of stuff
Happy Thanksgiving from Roadtirement
This year is soooo different. But Thanksgiving, like the river, keeps coming.
Sher and Maj wish you a Happy Thanksgiving. We are grateful for all of our blogging friends who have blessed us by visiting Roadtirement this past year.
A great pair of ducks
Back again with another obvious (and blatant) ad for our Etsy online store. Today we listed more items, including this fine pair of solid brass duck head bookends. These weigh in at a respectable 1 pound each and will support several of your most treasured volumes.
Update: The bookends have sold. Please visit our store from the safety of your home, especially this year. Here is the link: Roadtirement Vintage Etsy Store
Awwww……. is what you’ll say
This is a very cute and fuzzy kitten I saw on my walk today. Two of its littermates took off and hid when they saw me. This little guy just hopped up on a step and turned to look at me. Then he slowly sauntered off like he owned the world.
The pandemic is still going strong. Don’t let your guard down friends!
Pumpkin’s watery grave
This Jack O Lantern probably graced someone’s front porch last weekend for Halloween. Even though you can’t see the face, the top removal is evidence of some decorative artwork. How or why this pumpkin found its way into the center of this shallow river is a mystery.
No more campaign ads, now we just have to get through the counting and lawsuits. Be safe! COVID’s getting worse just about everywhere.
Sunset on election eve 2020
No politics here. There’s enough of that #*@% everywhere else. Just for you here’s a couple of sunset shots from Roadtirement’s sky.
Make sure you vote tomorrow if you have not done so yet.
Our Halloween Blue Moon
Hope your Halloween is a Happy and a safe one
A surprise reptilian visitor
We were planting some new bulbs today in our herb/flower garden. We also moved some Asiatic lily bulbs from the front of the house to the back yard as well. When I looked into a bucket we used to move the lily bulbs I noticed this colorful little guy. He is a Five Lined Skink. He is about 5 inches long, and he has lost a part of his tail. We’ve never seen one around before. He’s now making a new home in our bulb/herb/flower garden.
River reflections, color and moss covering
One of the routes I use for my daily walks follows along a small river. Here is another photo I took today. Sky was overcast with intermittent misty rain. A cool temp of 55 degrees coupled with a steady 15 mph breeze made for a somewhat invigorating hike.
Carpet of leaves
A true sign of fall can be seen in yards and forested areas. A carpet of leaves has developed in our yard as can be seen in the image. You can barely see the fence and mulched bed circling the maple tree.
