Rabbit-Rabbit........

It wasn't that long ago I was looking at this view....... August 26th to be exact...

Here's today's view....December 31st....

The time from then to now seems like a flash, a blink of the eye. I remember that morning like it was yesterday. Could my mind jump ahead to a spring view, with frogs croaking, lilies starting to blossom, and mosquitoes coming in the door of the truck as I prepare to take the picture?

 The new year starts in just an hour or so. This year with my blog has been fun. It has been a challenge at times, but such an enjoyment at others. My Nikon has enabled me to go and see and do things that just months ago I was only dreaming. For it, I am thankful. I have enjoyed the ride. I hope you have too.

Tune in tomorrow, and find out who I have selected to win my award that I promised. My Person or perhaps Persons of the Year.
Remember, this is all for fun, so have fun with it!

Oh, and a Happy and Healthy New Year to All!

just went Waybackin'.....

We escaped to Torrington this evening for a "date" and to do some initial shopping on some appliances at Home Depot, as that's the nearest "showroom" to see lots of appliances at one time in one place in the evening. We looked at washers, dryers, stoves, friges, exhaust hoods....is that enough?


But that's not what I wanted to write about. I thought I'd give a plug to Jake's Wayback Burgers, located in Torrington. Jake's is new to the northwest corner, and I read a review about a week or so ago that spiked my interest. So, tonight after our shopping, we gave them a try. We both had cheeseburgers (mine was a bit bigger) and chips, which are made there. Chips, not french fries, which they make there as well. Our review: quite good! And also fairly priced for what we got I felt. So, if you're in the mood for a nice burger, I suggests you give them a try. They also have salads, and shakes, and gardenburgers and more. Check'em out!

This is their Burg of the month--no, I didn't have it!

Headed towards Murphy's.......

With each passing year, it always amazes me how this tree just keeps hanging in there. I'm not sure if the pic's do it justice just exactly how far this tree really leans into this local town road. If you are a delivery person, with a delivery box truck, I would imagine you'd better be paying real close attention at this "almost an underpass" or you'll be going home with a chopped off truck.

I'm thinking it might be fun to post a "Warning-Low Bridge" sign on the tree.......

everyone knows it's "windy".....

I got home this evening around 6 p.m., and for the first time in what seems like days, it was semi-quiet when I got here. The trees were not howling at me! As I sit here now, I don't feel like my address is 14 Wind Tunnel Drive, which is the way it's been since Sunday afternoon. I am looking forward to a quiet evening around the house, and will enjoy not worrying whether or not the power will be going out.

Yesterday I was out for just a few moments, and this was a photo shot from up on Low Road. The town crews certainly had their hands full with this and other roads. I bet they are all sleeping pretty well tonight.
