Whatnot Wednesday & #ThursdayDoors — Looking Out My Back Door

CGI by Teagan via Playground

Welcome to another double-duty post. This is about lawn work, classic rock and roll, and of course, whatnot!

Let’s be honest.  My yard, front or back, looks awful.  Today I thought maybe I could just imagine seeing something fun out there.  So let’s set the tone with some music from Credence Clearwater Revival.  (I’m sorry if you can’t see the video. It’s CCR singing “Lookin’ Out My Back Door.”)

CCR is also going to carry us through this fantasy.  The narrative is the lyrics by John Fogerty.  So please don’t compliment me on my poetry, because it is not mine.

Looking Out My Back Door

Lyrics by John Fogerty

CGI by Teagan via Playground

Just got home from Illinois, lock the front door, oh boy!

Got to sit down, take a rest on the porch

CGI by Teagan via Playground

Imagination sets in, pretty soon I’m singin’

Doo, doo, doo, lookin’ out my back door

There’s a giant doin’ cartwheels, a statue wearin’ high heels

CGI by Teagan via Playground

Look at all the happy creatures dancin’ on the lawn

Dinosaur Victrola, listenin’ to Buck Owens

Doo, doo, doo, lookin’ out my back door

Tambourines and elephants are playin’ in the band

CGI by Teagan via Playground

Won’t you take a ride on the flyin’ spoon? Dood-n-doo-doo

Wonderous apparition provided by magician

Doo, doo, doo, lookin’ out my back door

Tambourines and elephants are playin’ in the band

Won’t you take a ride on the flyin’ spoon? Dood-n-doo-doo

CGI by Teagan via Playground

Bother me tomorrow, today I’ll buy no sorrows

Doo, doo, doo, lookin’ out my back door

Like I said, lyrics by John Fogerty.  Thanks to all of you for opening this door.  Have a wonderful rest of the week.  Hugs!

Obligatory shameless self-promotion

Of course, here’s the obligatory shameless self-promotion.  This wildly imagined novella is strange enough to go in a post dedicated to The Twilight Zone.  Hop aboard TROLLEY for an adventure unlike any other.

  1. You always make me smile and your images are wonderful. Sorry you’ve been in pain. I’ve just now gotten round to listening to that Clapton video. Where do the days go? Thank you so much!

  2. This is a lovely and nice poetic Thursday Doors post. If your front and back yard is not in good shape you should look out for YouTubers who do all the cleaning and renovation work for free. All they ask in return is that they can shoot the entire process. Sarah watches a lot of those videos. The CGI images are amazing as always.

    1. New Mexico always has a lot of wind in spring, but this year, it’s more constant than ever. I haven’t been able to spray them, so they are even worse. I’ve reached the point where my back never stops hurting. And, yes, I’d love some cheese with this whine. LOL, it’s lunchtime anyway.
      That’s why I had to have a little silliness in this post. I’m glad you enjoyed the elephant, Teri. 😀 There was also one with an electric guitar which was even better, but he didn’t go with the song. Have a good weekend. Hugs.

    1. I’m happy you enjoyed it, Jan. Mine has never been quite so bad before. I can’t find anyone to do the work, and it’s much, much more than my back can take. As my elderly neighbor across the alley said, “You can’t find anybody who wants to work, and when you do, they expect you to buy them a new truck.” (Meaning the beyond excessive prices.) Hugs.

    1. I’m definitely a fan. Thanks about the images. I generated 53 images to get those 6 that came “close enough” to what I had in mind. The Playground site cut me off at that point, saying I had gone past my limit. LOL. Have a good rest of the week. Hugs.

  21. Lovely post, Teagan, and luckily, I could watch the video. Not a song I recall having heard before, but it had my mother and I nodding and moving to the music. And I love your work with the images as well. Very cheerful! Many thanks!

  24. I can’t think of a better way to start the climb over the midweek hump than with CCR in the background. This song, fantastic doors, and the easy thoughts of doing nothing have helped get this day started. Thanks!
