I GUESS WE'LL FIND OUT SOON ENOUGH

HAD TO CRANK UP SOME HEAT IN THE HOUSE TODAY
Our seasonal change from summer into autumn is in full swing as thunder, lightning, rain, and cooler temperatures swept through just before daybreak this morning.  Those cold rains continued all morning but Pheebs and I were not deterred.  On with my raincoat and away we went out the door making a mad dash for the Jeep.  Cranked up the heater and off we went splashing our way down the road.  Slipped through Bayfield and headed for the muddy but still green countryside.

SEEMS ONLY A MONTH AGO THESE BOATS WERE PUT INTO THE WATER AND HERE WE ARE ALREADY CLOSING IN ON THE END OF THE SEASON

THIS 'FOR SALE' SIGN MIGHT JUST SAY IT ALL
NICE BIT OF WOODWORK
SOLAR SAILORS
SOME BOATS HAVE A CURVED BOW AND SOME HAVE A STRAIGHT BOW
YES, WE DO HAVE PIRATES HERE IN CANADA
I HAVE ALWAYS LIKED THE CURVING LINES ON SAILBOATS
Rainy days are often moodily reflective days and this morning's Jeep ride was one of those times.  I changed my Sirius Satellite Radio channel from the 'Chill Lounge' to the 'Spa' to reflect my mood and was welcomed by guitarist Will Ackerman's ambient music.  'Driving' was playing and I thought, how fitting.  I love this type of music and especially at this time of year.  Pot Pourri, scented candles, soft lighting, fireplace going, and quiet music thwarting the outside chills and inclement weather.  Will Ackerman's music always puts my fluctuating moods in a mellow place I well understand whether it be at home or out cruising around in the countryside with my best Pal, Pheebs.

Needing to get some blood work done by Friday for my Nurse Practitioner and Diabetes Nurse I headed off for the Dynacare lab at Goderich's Maitland Valley Medical Clinic this afternoon.  The usual Covid protocols but I finally got in.  At least there wasn't a long outside line-up for a change.  

ME AND THE KID

With temperatures only reaching the low 50's and a cold dampness in the air today it was time to turn some heat on in the house.  Kelly fired up our sunroom fireplace this morning and after supper tonight I cranked up our house furnace.  Ohhhh, how nice that warm air felt wafting out of both the heat registers and fireplace.  I also have a small ceramic heater under my computer desk if I feel the need to really toast myself up.  Warm or cool work for me while hot and cold do not!!
With a bit of luck and weather permitting we may very well be someplace next week at this time other than where we are now.  The Winnie-Wagon is ready to go and it is now up to us to pry ourselves out of our sedentary lifestyle, strap on our RV traveling hats for the first time in a year and a half, and once again cast our eyes down the road to distant horizons and unknown destinations.  We did it once, can we do it again?  Can we recapture those RV freedoms, adventures, and travel joys we once loved so well, or has too much water passed under the aging bridge.  Is it the last kick at the can for us?  Can we pick up where we left off or start all over again from scratch?  I guess we'll find out soon enough.........

GROANER'S CORNER:(( There are three kinds of men in this world...Some remain single and make wonders happen.  Some have girlfriends and see wonders happen.  The rest get married and wonder what happened???

My boyfriends so ugly, when I took him to the zoo the zookeeper said, "Thanks for bringing him back."

A Few Letters from Little Girls to God::
- Dear God,  Thank you for the baby brother, but I prayed for a puppy.
Joyce
- Dear God,  My father told me about being born, but that doesn't sound right. He was kidding, right?
Marsha
- Dear God, Did you mean for the giraffe to look like that or was it an accident?

  1. I'm very fond of Will Ackerman. He did some theme music for some TV programs back in the 90s that first brought him to my attention. I hear a snippet of a tune and have to go digging to discover who did it.

  5. It was certainly not a typical Sept. 8th weather day. But then again, what is typical anymore?
    I hope your thoughts get all 3 of you out for a new experience that isn't really new just different.
