Driving for Pizza
Yesterday evening after a somewhat muddly day I drove over to a small American midwest country town, that has a real live Italian chef, to buy some good pizza for this New Zealand farmer to take back home to my prairie kitchen for dinner. Some days it is such a relief to leave the dinner to someone else.
These were the skies I drove under.
Travelling East.
Then the return trip travelling West 30 minutes later (I treated myself to one very nice glass of wine sitting very happily all alone at the little bar – the Italian chef’s wife knows her wines!).
Just BooBoo and I and a big, big sky.
I hope you have a lovely day.

That is the most amazing sky and it almost looks like a pizza topping!
Gorgeous skies, every one.
Beautiful 😀 Cheers 🍷
beautiful –
That last sunset shot is wonderful. I hope the pizza was everything you anticipated – sometimes it’s exactly what you need.
I only ate a little then I was well .. c
I agree with the previous comment, I saw pizza in the skies too! Nothing quite like a wood fired pizza.
Another Beatles idea! Pizza in the sky
Beautiful sunset!
yes – a chill in the air this morning too – in a while our geese will be flying back to you
Your prairie skies and low clouds always give me the feeling I should creep along the ground like a cat in stealth mode 🙂 Laura
What a delightful image! c
Amazing photos! The second one looks to me like waves rolling up on a beach. Wine, fine pizza and beautiful skies, and Boo right there sounds like a perfect Friday evening.
Yes, Boo sitting in the passenger seat the whole way. c
What an exquisite sky! It looks almost surreal. Sometimes there is nothing quite as relaxing as a pizza, glass of wine and my own company.
yes – i will have to be careful not to make it a habit
Beautiful pictures my sweet friend. I’m glad you took some time to yourself for a change. Kudo’s to YOU!! XOXO – Bacon
It was just lovely – sitting in a nice bar – just relaxing with a glass of wine – with no-one asking me for anything
That is awesome my sweet friend! You so need to take more time for yourself. I know! That’s like me telling mom to do that. But sometimes, you just need a little pampering – even if it is a few minutes with a glass of wine 🙂 Love you bunches – sending major hogs and snout kisses. XOXO – Bacon
Excellent choice for last night. I miss The Big Sky show sometimes here in the woods, so then I have to go down to the lighthouse point and get my fill. Love your clouds!
lucky to have a lighthouse though
Very true!
I hope the pizza was at least half as luscious as those impressive skies. A toast to a girl and her dog having a quiet moment alone. Nothing better.
True that
just thought about my piggy T shirt I ordered…..can you confirm that all is correct please

Corn harvest! Or are they chopping silage?
Linda
No just harvesting the maize – it has been going on for a few weeks now – the air is pink with the harvest haze. c
CORN HARVEST! I hope we can do ours much earlier than last year. January was just way too long to wait to harvest.
We love living close to the ocean. We enjoy the mild winters. But, dear Heart, you gathered every memory of our glorious prairie skies and gifted them to me. For this and all the delightful mornings I spend on the farm I thank you from the bottom of my heart. XX X Virginia
Much as I adore TonTon, I can’t think of a more agreeable old soul companion in the passenger seat than Boo.
And that blue of the sky in the last shot? Twilight? I stood looking out my front window last night waiting patiently for it, until my husband who was eating his salad alone in the kitchen finally came to fetch me asking “Is there something wrong?”
I watched the grey, pinks, aquas all dissolve to grey but missed the blue. Trying again tonight.
Much as I adore TonTon, I can’t imagine a more agreeable, old soul companion in the passenger seat than dear Boo.
Spectacular skies, Cecilia. Absolutely stunning.
Beautiful sunset! I hope you are doing well
Oh my! Oh sky, so that’s where you’very been lately. Oh Boo, you lucky dog, you! So nice of you, Miss C., to share your ride home with us.
Three of my favorite things in the world..pizza, wine and dogs! Swoon! 😌
I love driving the back roads with only the land and sky especially at sunset. Haven’t been able to do that for awhile. I’m glad you had a nice drive, good company (sweet Boo), a good pizza and glass of wine. All of us need something like that once in awhile, no demands, no agenda, just some quiet time alone. Have a lovely evening.
I quite liked it – I might do it again! c
Those skies! Beautiful. I love that you took BooBoo with you! xx
The dogs go everywhere with me but not last night – Ton had had an encounter with a skunk so he was left at home. c
This lovely fall posting makes me think of Tom Rush’ song “The Urge for Going”. Search on YouTube for it and be transported into the season through this evocative song in minor chords. This is a song I used to play and sing when I played the guitar. Much love, your Gayle
Love your big sky shots!
Lovely!!! So Friday was still ‘pizza night’ but no one had to make it! The photos are glorious: I could never take such with the plethora of tall trees and undulant ground here . . . am scrolling back and forth . . . . just one thought since I do not know the US laws: in Europe one could have taken Boo in to sit next to you and the glass of wine . . . here it is a big ‘no-no’: if there also, hope he had a nice private quiet nap during . . . 🙂 !!
he slept in the truck with the windows down right outside the door – I don’t think you can take dogs into bars here – mores the pity
More’s the pity indeed! Guess he still felt he was keeping ‘watch’ over HIS lady 🙂 !! I just remember the multitudinous lunches and quite a few dinners in France, S Germany, Austria especially and Italy where, coming back from the loo, it was a continuous ‘step-over’ from anything from white snappy poodles to huge mountain dogs with lots of pats en route!! As long as they behave: I love it !!!!
Yes – it was like that in all the country pubs in England too – only in the bar though – not the dining room – so we all ate in the bar with our dogs.
Memories are made of this 🙂 🙂 🙂 !!!
wondrous; i love Boo
Nothing like standing beneath a big open sky or next to a big open sea to put things in perspective. And pizza, of course.
Fantastic skies! We don’t have take aways or deliveries very often but when we do (and I think next week we’ll be having a few as we now have no means of cooking as the kItchen fit starts tomorrow! ) we make sure it’s something worthwhile. We have an excellent, award winning fish and chips that also does pan fried fish, uses locally caught fish where possible and does specials like smoked haddock fishcakes or mussels….and all in recycled, bio degradable packaging…and delivered too 😀
There’s nothing like a prairie sky…
