    On my century ride Sunday, I rode by an itty bitty kitten on the side of the state road! One of our team called ASPCA (I didn't know that at the time and called my DH to go get him!) Poor thing.
    I can do five more miles.

    This afternoon's commute: one lone women's running shoe and what appeared to be the contents of a large bag of jumbo cotton balls. Seriously, cotton balls all in the grass on the side of the road.

    yesterday, just as we passed one of my favorite stores in Seattle, Ye Olde Curiosity Shoppe, I noticed a tiny doll in the street. I told Raleighdon about it, and game as he always is; he went back to get it.
    While he was circling, I saw a large american car with two happily gabbing women run RIGHT OVER this poor little doll.
    Donald followed behind, snatched it and said "It's in great shape!" I found that hard to believe after watching a 1 ton car run over it.

    When we got home, he finally handed it over to me, it was a lonely little scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz. It's hat is what suffered the most, but, hey scarecrows are not known for their great garb, not usually. The second photo shows him searching for his friends.

    What a cutey!! I'd say it's a lucky sign.

    Maybe he can be penpals with Ruby and her little gang of ruffians!

    Keep us posted if he ever finds his friends.....

    That was so good to read, bet she will be happy in your garden.

    Immediately next to where I live, the heathland starts and when riding along there last week, noticed a pair of men's jeans............the mind boggles as to why, how and what was he wearing when he left!

    Not sure if this counts, about 5 years ago, one Sunday morning I looked out of my kitchen window, to discover somebody had dumped an old skanky mattress on the TOP of my little car, the poor old aerial was all squished underneath!

    One phone call and the local Council removed it, almost immediately.
