Saved by an adventure!

It was good to go on an adventure this morning. The Brit opted to suck it up--okay, probably a bad term with congestion going on, huh--and we went out for breakfast. It's a thing we do. If nothing else, it gets us out of the house? And this is smalltown Iowa--we have GREAT breakfasts.
Face it, if we'd have stayed in I KNOW what I'd have been doing.......and it wouldn't have included fresh air despite the sun shiney day we had going.
We stopped at a park where we discovered they'd put in a new bridge! Actually, it's a replica of the old bridge and it's pretty cool! No biggie that there's no bottom to it yet and no road leading to it! It's probably good that the latter doesn't exist--folks like me would be excited to be going onto the new bridge and end up in the river.

The trees are budding and I'm gladder than glad. He's not--allergies on top of viral crud equals one cranky Brit. But we saw eagles and mud cranes (he says 'herons', I still say mud cranes), tree creepers and all sorts of funs stuff. The mud cranes were gathering sticks for their nests. I was too busy watching to catch a shot...besides, it's not nice to photograph pregnant anythings.
And we ended up stopping at a new store along the way.......only cuz they had these giant urns outside the building. NOT that there's much call for giant urns (upwards to five feet) in Iowa. I'm not sure who'd have the darn things in their house (and that's what they display them for the gal tells us) or in their yard--but there's hundreds of them. HUNDREDS! I'm still trying to figure that one out. What would anyone wanna five foot giant urn?

*shrugs*
They had six foot iron fountains, too.

I thought we could use one of those on the patio for the birdies to bathe in. At a mere $1300 dollars we'd have the fanciest birdie bath in town, dontcha think?
Iron and water sounds like a bad plan to me, but I do believe the birdies would think we were all that and a bag of chips.
We didn't buy a fountain or a giant urn.
Nor did we buy an awesome weather vane with a bunny on it.
Alas and alack, we left empty handed.
I'm gonna work on him for that six foot fountain though.....
