Fun at the auction!

I like my online auctions! I won a few items, and we took off for a fun drive for the first time in months. 

There were clouds, but not bad for a drive.

Everything and everyone are busy. 

Whoops, it's been so long since I've driven down here. Apparently, they are rebuilding the road. It's a good thing, as it was quite a mess with potholes from the freeze-thaw cycles in our springtime.

I love my countryside drives! I'm sure this is familiar to many of you.

This is a new house. Well, 'new' when I last drove down here! 
Watch out for the bumps!

This is the first time I've worn a bit of make-up since last year. My eyes were too irritated with the cataracts. I have happily finished all of my eye drops, as well. 

Now, sans glasses, I can see to put mascara on without said glasses getting in the way. I have three pairs of glasses, (Rx of -10.5, if you are interested) to give to a good home. Few optometrists are collecting old pairs in this time of COVID–19.

There is always one! They had to wait for him, and it had just started raining. Not a happy camper!

I like this front deck!

It is an interesting facade.

Bad boy, litterbug!

It's nearing the end of the season, but I was most interested in the clouds.
As we drove, there was a huge flock of, I think, starlings. Gathering for that winter flight south. There were hundreds of them. It was amazing!

We came around a bend, and these geese were on a pond, and had just taken off. We frightened them as much as they frightened us! In the first photo, the middle one shows evidence of that... poopies!

Still those long clouds. According to David Piano, they are Rope Clouds.

I love all the flowers at this house, with the clouds in the background.

We made it to Augusta, and the auction house. We weren't sure about COVID–19 protocols, although we had our masks in the car. Turns out, it was quite efficient, going around the building, and loading up in front. The puddle was a bit of a deep one!

We had been sitting here, in a puddle, and it was dumping rain! Just as we arrived to get loaded up, the rain ceased.

Some of my loot! 

It looks like someone is living here, with tables and chairs, and a BBQ!

This house sold not too, too long ago.The coreopsis is growing everywhere! Such a lovely bright spot of colour. The bugs love them in my garden. (coreopsis verticillata?)

The snowmobile trail is awaiting travelers.

The dark clouds continued, after driving through a few cloudbursts.

Can you read the sign? We both hooted. "Big weiners ahead!"
