Star Struck

Diamond studded midnight blue skies! Please excuse my phone pics of the sky, I just couldn’t resist to try to capture sone of that fantastic beauty in our front yard!

Peach says: I feel like apologies are more than in order, because I just can’t get my stuff together to blog like I truly want to. If it counts, I write all manner of posts in my head as I’m doing life. Can’t remember much of them though!

Turns out my semi retired life is pretty busy! Who knew?

We have some of our family living with us and it makes life more full and lively in a lot of fun ways!

Work is challenging in some ways in this economy, but it goes on!

So many diamonds! I mean stars! 😍

After we got back home from our road trip last October, we decided to get a long wanted telescope for the family to enjoy. Which has led to many stargazing nights!

Batman is the driving force to it all! I get a front row seat and all the looking I want! He does all the hard stuff and I’m so grateful for his generous research and effort, which he so patiently puts into it, and then shares with us all!

Below is a beautiful picture he took tonight with the telescope of Orion! It was a perfect night to be out!

While he was working on the pictures, I couldn’t resist taking pictures with my phone. With so many bright stars looking down upon us, you just have to try!

I’ll be back this weekend with more, and more importantly for much needed visits around the blogosphere!

An Early Stop Along the Way

Batman says:

We’ve been on the road a week so far.

Early on we had a great stay at a nice place, and we thought we’d share the information for anyone else in the Alabama way.

Hampton inn & Suites by Hilton

2590 Cobbs Ford Road
Prattville Alabama 36066
334-285-6767

Really nice place to stay. If have any complaint, it’s the room was too quiet when the AC turned off, 🤣🤣.

Hampton Inn, Prattville, Alabama

It was clean, comfortable and the night clerk was very friendly. The day clerk was just as friendly, as well as several of the staff we bumped into during the stay. Breakfast was hot, tasted good and hit the spot. If we find ourselves in that area again we will certainly stay there again, on our way to other places.

That’s all for now, y’all be good!

Ditch Fishin

Yesterday for the first time in a few weeks, I resumed hopping in my truck and driving a mile down the road and pulling over at the first culvert. Grabbing my fishin pole I toss a tiny artificial pink lure in and BAM!! i catch a fish. That’s right, I admit it, I ditch fish, I have done so since as long as I can remember and it is a hoot! I don’t keep the fish like some do (lots fish for food and that’s great) I take a picture and toss the fish back in. On this particular day I caught several species to include a 14” largemouth bass, that’s right out of a roadside ditch that dries up if there isn’t rain for awhile. Anywho (yes I made that word up, deal with it I make up words daily) I shall try and post a few every once in a bit, it makes me happy.
