Our day out.....

Ever find that when you start on one job it leads to another, and then whilst you are doing that job you realize you don't have this or that and so the list of what you need at the hardware store begins. Well yesterday hubby and I decide that this would be the day that we complete our list and go out to the hardware store. Now for most of us that doesn't seem like much, but from where we live it is a 55 km drive to the store we need to go to. So we get ourselves organized and off we go.

Have you ever heard of the song "Heads Carolina" by Jo Dee Messina? Well it's a song about taking a road trip and flipping a coin to decide the direction they are going to take. That is exactly what we did.....at the end of the road we flipped to decide whether we take the old scenic highway or put the top down and take the new highway. The air was crisp but the sun was shining....and another decision had to be made....top on or off......we decided off

I meant the roof.....should we drive with the top of the Mustang on or off...... So off we go. We near our destination when the weather decides it is going to change. It starts to sprinkle...but just a little....then it decides it wants to snow/hail. That is when it was time to pull over and put the top up. Oh we chuckled....how funny we must have looked. But really it was sunny when we left home.

We arrive at the hardware store. Looking for this and that.....I think I ended up getting more of this than that....you know the things that weren't on the list....like the metal ornamental rooster that I just had to have that would greet you at my front door....or the two rose bushes I just had to have that would climb up the arbor that my hubby now has to make. Oh yes it was one of those kind of shopping days. As it turns out this store didn't have everything we needed so off to another store we go. We get what we need and it is now time to make our way home. The coin is flipped and we decide to take the old highway home. Top up, weather to unpredictable.

We make a few stops on our way home. One of the stops is more of a stop for nostalgia than anything else. We are travelling down this road.......

When what should cross our path but this......

Yup that's him....a turkey....to funny....you know that joke....why did the "turkey" cross the road? We just found this so funny....right out in the middle of know where and here is this turkey walking along the side of the road and then in front of us....it just seemed to be a picture moment....here are some more shots.....he decides to make it off into the shrubs and then hops up onto the fence.....

After watching his antics for a little while we decide to head further down the road to the waters edge when what do we see but this.....

Yup there were another 4 of them down at waters edge. It was all to amusing.....along the road we had noticed a tree had fallen on a fence......I guess the ol turkeys thought this was their chance to go out for a Sunday stroll. I don't know how the owner would have felt about having to gather up the turkeys but it certainly made for a interesting picture opportunity and entertainment for the end of our drive.

Happy Monday all!!
