Happy Thursday ya’ll! This Thursday Doors entry probably should’ve been entered between The Approach and Shackleford Road Bridge posts. But, nothing is normal right now so why should the blog format be any different??!! So here goes….
We have a habit of calling out ‘dead-a-dillo’ rather than slug bug because the only armadillos we see are lying on the roadside after being hit. It can be a pretty rude awakening to run over one. I might add that these critters are just recently becoming commonplace here in Mid-Missouri. Never saw a single one in my younger days. No roadkill photos to add here, sorry.
The only dead thing we observed thankfully.
Too quick on the trigger in some photos on this drive. Had to hold on. That’s what happens when you have impatient vehicles behind you and the hubby doesn’t want to tick them off any further. Not sure what they were in such a hurry for. Not a lot was open at the time of this photo session. Just another crabby-ass driver who was takin’ out frustrations on others. Pretty sick of this Covid mentality of drivers.

That first step is a doozy!
And my personal favorite of this post is saved for last. Taken after we were able to turn off and get out of that afore-mentioned drivers way. But first, all I have to ask is why is driving so hard for some people? All you have to do is stay in the lines. My 3 year old kiddos could master driving better than some people these days. Ok, enough.
Hope you enjoyed my venting Thursday Doors post this week. Please stay safe out there and take a few minutes to visit Norm 2.0 and all the fantastic door contributors!

Hi Kathy – finally back from a few months without wifi, and having moved to Texas (Austin). Love the steep descent! And the silo – a great landmark! Where I used to live, if you came too close to the one in front of you, they started on purpose driving slower, haha. Great catching up with you:)

Lovely rural scenery as usual. I love the peaceful never-ending road feel in that first shot.
I would have never guessed you had armadillos there.

Thank you! And yes the armadillos are here and create havoc on my yard. They dig holes all over. Not my favorite new invasive creature.

thanks for not including a pic of the roadkill 😀 my favorite was the open sided barn. I never expected to encounter armadillos in alabama, my dad always talked of them in texas, but here they are. See alot of “dead-a-dillos” but occasionally see a live one in its natural habitat, they’re kinda cute.

We have a video from our ring camera of a family of them waddling and leaving a trail in the grass where they’ve dragged their tails. Pretty cute for sure! 😊

It’s the one thing we have truly enjoyed over the last 6 months or so while I had to close shop. Gotta hand it to Norm for helping us have purpose to those drives.
