Surprises!!!

You may be wondering why I'm posting with images from this Fall in the middle of Winter.

This post I had started back in early October and never posted after a walk we took along the shore of our little town. I had named it "Surprises" and though I could have picked from a few others I thought the name was appropriate.

You see today I sit here..... not at home or at work but in the public library writing this post.

My computer is in the hands of geeks(I say that with all respect) and only they will tell me the fate of it.

I'm really not all that "surprised" because it had been giving me trouble for the last year or so. I found the original sales slip the other day and it showed that I bought it 4 yrs ago. 5 years is the average time for a computer so....... it was in the cards so to speak!!!

Procrastination is my middle name so I desire what I get.

The good thing is that I had been backing up files and all photos had been moved to my ext. hard drive right before it happened. I knew something was wrong with it right before it happened.

In "happened" I mean it wasn't like it went into some crazy bizurk mode like I've heard some do. No, it just wouldn't start back up. Not a good sign but I have a good feeling it'll be OK.

Maybe it's my new optimistic outlook I've been trying to have.

See it's working!!!:))

Ok, back to this post......

On our walk that day along the causeway we spotted a raccoon in the stonewall....I should say George spotted him. I think he blended in too well for me to have noticed him. It took me awhile to even see him.

It wasn't until he turned his head that I saw him. Sorry it's really blurry I was trying not to scare him back in the hole.

These very resourceful critters find their way almost anywhere.

He went back to his routine after he knew we weren't going to disturb him. This time of year it's pretty quiet here so he can do as he pleases without being spotted by us humans.

Another wildflower that seems to grow everywhere.

Another happy surprise!

When we saw these 3 wild turkeys at Fenwick I was excited enough until

we saw even more....

I think we were able to see a total of 11 in all.

This is one of my favorite homes that we passed by....not overly fancy for this area but I'd love to see it from the inside. So many windows... it must be wonderful during the day and the view here is one the best. Except for this........

Sadly it resides next door......... which appropriately has caution tape across the front. I think it's been condemned for a long time now. What do you think of the rooftop garden ??? nice touch don't you think????

We saw this right before Halloween and couldn't help think what a great Haunted House it would make. Not sure the neighbors would go for it.

This was the last picture I took that night. It was late and completely dark out but you couldn't tell from the way it came out ( no photo editing this time)

The sky was so blue like nothing I'd ever captured.......

an other wonderful surprise!

Hope to able to get my computer back on Tuesday and have good news.

Meanwhile I'll be hold up in the library working on some orders that I need to finish up for our Spring season.

Yes I know it's cold outside and maybe it's even snowing where you are but us growers are preparing for the time when the public will be eagerly wanting to get back in their gardens.

Hope to able to visit you all again soon!!!!
