LEAP Year, Meeting Men, Horses, Funnies, Hickman Co. Sites, and Spring Flowers-DL HInt

 

Did you realize that it is LEAP YEAR?

I did not until I heard it on the news.

A couple of facts about 

LEAP YEAR.

Okay, guess I am left out again...

gotta have someone special 

to ask to marry you.

Not even anyone special, there 

is no one for me to ask! lol...

However, I have met two new guys 

this week.

I met Thomas, owner and repair dude

at the local computer repair store.

I stopped to take this pic

which stands in front of 

his place, which once was a 

gas station and then 

a FORGOTTEN place when 

Thomas purchased it and revamped

it. 

Interesting guy, him and I connected in 

our conversation over paranormal, 

sage and gems. 

He is the dude that told me about

the place I visited where I 

got my Amethyst.

Although, pretty sure he 

bats for the other team, and 

even with that not a factor, not

interested. 

Then I met a local auctioneer, 

pretty sure retired now.

I was out riding with the camera

and I stopped to take pics of 

his horses.

Then when I went as far

as I could on that road, I 

turned around and pulled in 

the drive to speak to the owner.

Just wanted to tell him I photographed 

his horses. He had just shoed a horse and 

came out of the barn to say him. 

Very nice, cowboy looking man.

He walked me to the next pasture to 

meet Cookie and her foal.

We stood out and talked about 30 mins. 

NO...I do not just stop and 

carrying on conversations here and there,

I check out the area and the person before

doing that. I noticed Thurman (man) when 

I first stopped to shoot the horses from 

the road. He was well dressed and was working

with a family on shoeing their horse. 

Amber just shakes her head at me!!

I DO CHECK out the area and the 

person.....I am careful. You sort of have

to be when you basically live in 

what some folks around her call

the Meth Capital of TN.

Interested in Thurman, nope,

just talking to people and his 

horses. I miss Misfire.

Speaking of horses...

metal horse. This is a site

I saw while out and about.

But here you go...

I love this. This is actually

at the drive of the dude that 

was my neighbor when I moved in. 

I was so excited, he is a mechanic, and 

to have one of them living next door, that

worked their on his property. But, he 

built a home on the Tn River about 85 miles

away. He is selling by owner and had a buyer

but something happened and its back up

for sale again.

When you are out talking and meeting

folks you learn things....

like this store that is 

three mins up the road. 

Rita's General Store....

also FORGOTTEN IN HICKMAN
COUNTY, but my moved 

neighbor was once married 

to Rita! lol..

A few more pics of what I have

seen on the back roads of my county.

Had to laugh....not one, but 

two boats in the field under

the power lines....with two 

buzzards sitting on the top.

Now, to find out why

and how those two 

boats got up there..lol

Then there is the two holes.

Looks like a cave in the rocks and 

then the hole in the tree.

Another looks like a cave.

Keep in mind, before my legs

and hips got so iffy I would have

jumped right in that stream, crossed

over to the hole and checked it out.

BUT NO...the legs and hips will not

allow that anymore PLUS, I have to be

more careful, apparently this area has

its share of copperheads and rattle snakes.

Keeping my ass on the banks.

Lots of flags flown in this

area. Mostly on sheds and barns but

this one is down the road from me.

Beautiful....

A sign that spring is around the corner.

I even found a spot, on the side of the road,

actually, across from the boats and field where 

I was able to pick some of these.

I have a small shovel I use for 

digging with when I use my

metal detector, going to throw

it in the car and go back and dig

some of these up.

Did you know, it is against the law

to pick wildflowers on the side

of the road in TN?

Yep, I am a law breaker!!

Check out this funny.

When I was shooting the other

day, the horse, which I was told

is a Palomino.

I thought Cookie and her foal

were Paominos but they are 

Paints.

Guessing this babe was being 

nosey of me, like I was of it.

HAHA
