THINGS I SEE ON MY ROUTE

Hello Nice People,

A few weeks ago, Rachel from Life 'N Stuff had a good post on the things she sees on her way to work. She always gives me a good chuckle with her stories. HER morning scene includes a pooping donkey. Well, she got me to thinking about some of the things I pass day after day. Sunrise on the East Coast is at 7:15, so my early mornings on the road are spent pretty much in the dark at this time of the year. Just about the time the sun is coming up, I pass these little guys

Now I don't know much about pigs, but they are the cutest little things. Early, just when its getting light they are sleeping in a pile. there are six of them. I guess they keep each other warm. After about an hour, I come back the same route and now they are up and routing around. If I stop and open the door, they come running over to the fence. I know not to get to attached to them because one day I will come by and they won't be there.

Here's another odd sight.

I have never seen a mushroom like this before.

Maybe this is a common mushroom but its sure a new one to me.

About two weeks ago, on my usual route, a two lane highway, there was a dog laying on the yellow line. He must have been hit by a car not long before I came by. Up ahead, a trash truck and 2 or 3 trash men emptying cans. I kind of had a feeling they would be the good guys and move him out of the middle of the road. Well, they did.....and every day for the past two weeks, the poor little thing lays there in the grass silently waiting for someone to come along and claim his lifeless body. He has lain there through four days of rain last week and one or two this week. Its supposed to rain tonite and all day tomorrow, and I can't help thinking of him. I think I secretly wish that the rain would reconstitute his little stiff body and he would just get up, stretch and continue on with his adventure. I guess I think too much!
