FINAL FICTION FRIDAY

The truth is stranger than fiction: 

Our not so Jolly Green Giant Trash Bin was the object of a Hit and Run\

The Scene

About 8 pm on Monday, November 16, 2020 I was snug as bugs in my jammies watching NCSI: New Orleans when  I  heard a very loud boom/bang. I thought it came from the TV.  My husband was upstairs in his train room.  He sprung to his feet to see what was the matter...what to his wondering eyes did appear as out the window he looked? Our huge City trash can, that was sitting by the curb awaiting collection on November 17,  had been tossed up into our yard and was on it's side. It was dark but he did found a side view auto mirror by the can and one of the can’s wheels missing.  Someone was exceeding the 25 mph to knock a full trash bin from over the curb into our yard.  There were several cars parked on the street too. Tuesday, November 17 at first light we found more evidence.

Exhibit 1:

Not so Jolly Green Giant Trash Bin split down the front and brace dislodge

Scratches on the side

Exhibits 2

Missing right wheel

Exhibit 3 

Right side view mirror and pieces and parts from the vehicle

We don't know WHO DONE IT but we do KNOW someone is gonna have a rather expensive repair.  However, if we were playing Clue our guess would be a burgundy vehicle with black plastic trim.

Judging by all the scuffs and scratches on not so Jolly Green Giant Trash Bin

they have some significant body damage too.

The city will deliver a new bin and take away the not so jolly green giant bin, in the meant time

our very nice neighbor let us put our weekly house trash in her bin for early morning pick up on November 24.

I am happy and thankful to say at almost 10 am  Tuesday, November 24th, exactly one

week after I requested a new trash bin....it arrived.

Nature surprises.

This plant is a Yucca..I had no idea they bloomed in November.

But then it is 2020.

 They are native to the hot and dry (arid) parts of the Americas and the Caribbean.

It is hot here in the summer but rarely arid.  This Photo take this past Monday

Feline Friday Flashback with Madi

Thoroughly Thankful Poetic Thursday #47 and Thanksgiving Flashbacks

 

Thankful Thursday hosted by

 Today we join Two  SPOLED CATS 

Angel Sammy and Teddy for their poetic pictorial poem.

Here is our inspiration

The Little Miss was worried 

She had no time to send out messages

Their move had been hurried

They did not move far; however,

she just knew no one would show 

How would her friends find her

She was sure no one would know

where she lived. 
Her Dad had a plan he told her to not to fear

She should tell her friends to look for the 

house all aglow with lights and 

Cheer

2016 Post 

PURRSONALLY I AM THANKFUL FOR LOTS OF WINDOWS FULL OF 

SUN THAT WARM MY FURS AND MY SOUL

AND

Thumbs to open my food (mom's thumbs)

Hands to brush my furs
Always knowing my peeps are near.
Naps 
Kindness, I'm lucky that is all I have known
Furiends...you ALL light up my life
Unconditional love 
Lots of food and treats

TURKEY

HAPPY HAPPY DAY AND MAY YOU ALL GET A SLICE OF 

TURKEY

P.S. IT ISN'T MY FAULT

THIS IS MY THANKSGIVING

TALE ABOUT 

ADMIRING

A FIRE

FROM 

A FAR.

Last winter was too warm for a fire...so I forgot about it.  After we had the gas connections checked, Dad turned on our gas logs for the first time in nearly two years.  Now I have to get used to them again. For a minute I thought I'd have to 
STOP, DROP and ROLL.
I AM THANKFUL FOR MY WARM HOME
LOVING PEEPS, FOOD AND LOTS OF PLACES TO SLEEP.

N. C. Museum of Art's newest sculpture.
We watched as the cement display pad was installed.
A few days later we saw this,  to me it resembles two finger tips touching

This is the plaque describing it.

What a great name for an artist!!

Longleaf Pine note the difference in the pine needles on the taller trees...just regular pines, behind it
It isn't too far from the above sculpture on the

Kat napped in his favorite chair.

Mom and Pup bundled up and played ball.

Golly Gee friends I'm sorry the videos from my nephews not working earlier
