Phone Photo Dump

It's time to purge my phone of some photos for you all to enjoy!

The other day while walking past the retention pond in our community all the geese in the water were honking like crazy! When I looked to see what was causing all the commotion, I saw this beauty flying overhead. 

He circled the pond a few times and then flew off. I got a pretty good video and this blurry picture is taken from that. It's a rare sight to see an eagle around here so I was pretty excited!

On the nights that I work when I leave at 8:00 I always turn and scan the field next door with the car headlights. 

There is almost always deer there and I caught these two just chilling and enjoying the evening! 

I know this is a little hard to see but this is a display in front of an old house in DT Plymouth. 


In case you can't tell it's a bunch of Madame Alexander dolls. I thought it was pretty unusual. 

I have about 12 Madam Alexander dolls that my paternal grandmother gave me. I used to get one for Christmas and one for my birthday until I turned 18. Then she stopped giving them to me. They were getting too expensive for her anyway. She made sure I knew that! 

I should do a separate post on her. She was a hoot! 

I don't think they are worth much anymore, anyway. I guess not if they get displayed on a front lawn! 

Rich and I were at BJ's warehouse the other day and their inventory robot was going around. 


It makes a funny little tone that sounds like it's saying, "excuse me". 

My shoulder feels pretty good. So good that I made the mistake of carrying a large purse on it for a day and ended up making it hurt more then it already was! I was scared I did some damage but my physical therapist checked it out and said I just irritated it! Back on the inflammatory medicine I went and it is slowly getting better! 

A local funeral home donated some flowers and plants for our residents to enjoy. We kept the flowers but the executive director did not want all the plants around so she told us anyone who wants one can take it. 



I snagged this peace lily. Looks how giant it is! 

We had my brother and sister-in-law for lunch yesterday. We wanted to say goodbye as they've become snowbirds and are heading to Myrtle Beach SC for the next 6 months. Lucky them! 

That's all for me for now. See you the next time and thanks for stopping by!

  1. I always enjoy your photo dumps! The deer are sweet resting there in the field and wow on the eagle! They are magnificent! I guess I wasn’t that into dolls because I never heard of these dolls. They look kinda scary scattered on the lawn like that. I wonder why? I guess a part of their Halloween display? Lastly, WOW on the peace lily. That was awfully nice of them to let you have that. It’s very nice. I’ve not ever seen one that big. Mine have always been small enough to fit on a shelf.
    Always good to hear from you and glad all is well with you and your job!!

  5. Love that you saw that eagle!
    How crazy is that lawn with those dolls on it? Wonder what their thoughts were on that?
    One of those inventory things was in our store the other day too, I wasn't sure where to go because it kept going in front of me.
    The peace lily is beautiful!

  6. The eagle is a rare delight and I would have made a fuss myself! Also, for the lovely deer resting for the night.
    We have a Madame Alexander doll in our 'stuff to find homes for' and I don't know what to do with it; it's old!
    I've not seen a robot on the store, yet.

  7. Apparently there are eagles around here but I never see them, I hear stories that other people tell about spotting them.
    That plant is awesome.
    I have a friend who's brother does photography. He often uses dolls for his spooky Halloween shots.

  8. We have a lot of eagles around here but it's hard to get a photo of them. The peace lily is gorgeous. I'm glad you didn't do any more damage to your arm and that it's continuing to heal. That has to be a big relief. Happy Halloween!!

  12. Jeanette! Don't lug around heavy purses! I feel so bad that I have not encouraged you enough during your recovery. I am so glad that you're fully healed! Shoulder surgery, I am told, is one of the worst joint surgeries to undergo. I'm glad it's behind you. Not your shoulder, but the surgery, haha! I have never seen an inventory robot; they must not have those yet at Costco, hahaha! Not sure I want to encounter one. Mercy can we just go back to the good old days? Hahaha! Dagny and I were going to Walmart the other day in the rain and we saw a deer staggering along a fence line, looking as though he wanted to be inside the fence (which was more or less woods) ... we felt so bad for him! xoxo
