Off the Beaten Path

 

 

 

This past Saturday was pretty incredible.

 

Sandwiched between two photo shoots,

I had a little Road Trip to Alder Hill Farm,

(yep, I officially declare Road Trip a proper noun, worthy of capital letters!)

Scout keeping his eye out for the herd :)

 

 

 

It was  such a perfect way to spend an autumn day...
enjoying the beautiful Missouri countryside

and finding fall colors in unexpected places :)

 

 

 

 

I leisurely traveled on

 7 country roads

through 6 counties

and 1 national forest,

(have you ever googled his quotes?!)

 

 

 



(How cute are mules?!)

 

 

 

One of these things is not like the others,

One of these things just doesn't belong,

~lol... thank you, Sesame Street~

While passing through towns with the names of

Pleasant Hope,

Success,

and

Charity,

 

 

I had time to do some antiquing
and photo-prop shopping,

 

 

 

and I took a minute to pop into the

World's. Largest. Gift. Shop in Lebanon.

 

 

 

 

where an unexpected surprise

was coming across this sweet Caddie

once owned by one of the funniest ladies in history...

 

 

 

 

Before hitting the road again,

it was time for a potty break,

and in the words of a young girl in Hawaii,

"What the?!?!?"....

 



Do I use the the one on the left with the two-gender symbol, but with the "W" underneath,

or the one on the right with the "E".

Does "E" stand for Earthling perhaps?

 

 

~~~

Well, I had a very, very lovely day!

And even the layer of limestone collected

from country back roads

will not deter me from doing this.

 Again...and again...and again!
