Autumn fun with leaves and colors #piedmontvirginia

This deer came by the front yard yesterday evening and just hung out nibbling stuff off the ground for about 20 minutes. Another 5 and we were considering names. My 8-year old suggested John…get it dad, John Deer? Then Doc chimed in, unless it’s a her and then maybe John Doe 🙄

I’m not too sure…it looks a little scooby doo-ish but not in color 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’m honored! That’s the out of print one too!

#vocalchords haha…I recall your lesson on the missing cord, not actually a cord.

It’s #fontefriday with @elgringofeo.bsky.social I’m going with a Gringo approved adjacent artist, Nana Mouskouri and this French release from 1985, Ma Vérité. Surprised to find Toute La Nuit on here which you may recognize as All Through The Night from Cyndi Lauper and written by Jules Shear.

Hey spinners it’s #fontefriday I found this copy of Belafonte Sings Of The Caribbean at an antique shop this week. Neither of us are of St. Harry’s vintage but host @elgringofeo.bsky.social and I both might garner looks in an antique shop. But we’re also both started weekend #nowspinning #calypso

And really, who can have too many planters?

This Downey Woodpecker was just hanging around while I was working in the yard #birds #piedmontvirginia #backyardnaturalist

Trifoliate Orange harvest - marmalade on tap #backyardnaturalist #savingtheseason

I found one screw for one loose nut but couldn’t find the nut to hold on the dropped off belt plate cover. It sounds more complicated than it is I’m sure.

Me? I’m learning basic tractor/mower repair.

Nice! I figured that might be on your agenda.

I’m aware Uncle Remus is problematic. But from a record collector standpoint this was a FIND! While cleaning I read “issued with insert of cut out paper dolls” and immediately dismissed the chance of them being in the sleeve BUT voila! Only 38 copies on Discogs, so it’s scarce I say #records

I love finding old novelty records particularly from the 60s and 70s. These 2 Hanna Barbera Records fit the bill. The Man Called Flinstone and Yogi Bear and the Three Stooges Meet the Mad, Mad, Mad Dr. No-No #vinylcommunity #hannabarberarecords

Harvesting some Black Walnuts today #backyardnaturalist

It’s #fontefriday with my pal @elgringofeo.bsky.social & found this copy of The Midnight Special in a thrift bin this week. Learned my lesson about passing it up and then not seeing it again for months. This came home! Michael Row the Boat Ashore is my fave track on this one #vinylcommunity

Monarch sighting a couple days ago when I was out mowing #monarchbutterfly #backyardnaturalist

I’m taking creative liberties with #hornyhumpday today, I hope @stylus66.bsky.social won’t mind the latitude. This Flute Music of The Andes album is uncredited to any specific artist but the pictures and descriptions of the flutes are much more horn-like even if the sound is clearly woodwind.

Read carefully

Have to e careful standing under this huge White Oak when the acorns start dropping. Also it hangs over our farmhouse bathroom with the metal roof which can be disconcerting on a 2am visit #backyardnaturalist

It’s a #fourforfortyfriday on #fontefriday so natch. DM with questions and @elgringofeo.bsky.social might be able to provide references. But if you’ve got a US mailing address I have a deal for you 😁

Still getting a few strawberries in mid-September! #growyourownfood

It had been a long time since I listened to it. It’s really solid!

But Seriously, Folks…is Joe Walsh’s 1977 solo release though with album credits for Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Timothy B. Schmidt & Don Felder you’d be forgiven for thinking this was an Eagles side project. It’s got the 8:00+ version of Life’s Been Good and a few other gems #veryEagleish #nowspinning
