Things I've Seen While Commuting Lately

A black bear
...that turned out to be a really fluffy cow.

A blue horse
...that turned out to be a horse with a blue blanket.

A barn roof
...no barn, just a roof. And half-a-roof at that. I drive past this phenomenon at least 3 times a week and for the life of me can't figure out how this happened. I do have a theory: The side walls of the barn rotted and it collapsed. Then the people were too poor to buy firewood so for the last 5 years, they've just been going out to the barn and pulling board after board out so now, all that's left is the half-a-roof. I am so not making this up. I'll take a photo one of these days.

Half-a-house
...Honestly. Same story as the roof. Except that the house is brick and I seriously doubt that anyone burned it.

A TEENY-TINY chapel
...in someone's side yard. Perfect for a TEENY-TINY wedding.

A pancaked black cat
...at least I think it was a cat... Hey, don't shoot the messenger, I just report the facts.

A hawk stomping on something in a roadside ditch
...he was deadly, but beautiful.

A river
...turned into a lake.

An unopened bag of Doritos in the median
...Cool Ranch.

A grandma on a moped
...DUI, do you think?

Six deer
...conferring in a cornfield.

A haunted house
...I have no proof that it was actually haunted, but if I were a ghost, I would totally move in.

Winnie-the-pooh
...no explanation. It is what it is.

We call those "liquorsicles."

I love the image of the hawk ... and the Hell's Angel granny.

I can understand the half a barn... the half a house, maybe they ran out of money?

Tiny-tiny chapel....for Barbie and Ken?

Road kill... eww

Where was Winnie-the-pooh? Thumbing a ride?

You crack me up.

It's half a house b/c it's probably about 150 years old and the front wall just literally fell off. I've always been going to get a shot of it too. Just never wanted to stop. I've got places to go! People to see!

And honestly, I've been keeping that list for a while and have No Idea what I was talking about when I wrote Pooh down. But if it's there, then I saw it. Maybe a bumper sticker... or one of those creepyashell blow up yard ornaments... Maybe I was driving without any pants on and saw my tattoo....

All that commuting may be more interesting if you drive around without pants. Unless you are escorting a child, then, creepy.

And to think- come summer, all you'll see is corn...
