Saturday

64, lovely morning. Rain predicted but it didn't happen, sadly. Never reached 80 today. What a relief. 

Auction pickup today, over in Ohio. Drove through Corner and Veto and Tunnel--what evocative names! We stopped to check out another covered bridge too.





This bridge was right by the county fair grounds.


 Loved this determined Sycamore tree.



A pretty, covered footbridge led to the fairgrounds. 


And then we went back across the river to almost heaven.


We stopped in Ripley for lunch and some errands, then a short stop at a friend's store, and finally home. We were supposed to go to another friend's home for dinner, but I still don't feel well and had a low fever, so we decided not to spread whatever bug I have. Hated to miss out, though; it would have been a lovely evening. (I am taking some meds and feel a bit better.)

And then, whole browsing Facebook,  I saw this: 


Now who would want to trade a prosthetic leg for hay???  It boggles the mind. But it does remind me of this post from way back.

Bedtime! Night, all.

  4. Love the covered bridge! I wish I understood the reason those were built (why roof a bridge??), but whatever it is, I find them totally compelling!

  6. Facebook marketplace gets wild! Trading a leg is a new one for me.

  7. A funny coincidence: I wanted to start an eBay shop called "That Ain't Hay" and sell everything I own but don't need, in order to fund my constant purchasing of hay. Apparently one cannot use apostrophes in an eBay name, which kind of slowed me down, at least until I can think of a better name.

  8. Your mention of "almost heaven" brought back some wonderful memories of John Denver. We have friends who live in Colorado who used to say everyone there hated him because he was luring too many people to their state with his songs.
