BECAUSE OF THIS MORNING'S RAIN WE DIDN'T TRAVEL TOO FAR

IT WAS THE WARM LIGHTS THAT CAUGHT MY ATTENTION IN THIS BAYFIELD HOUSE
Tuesday evening's snow turned into Wednesday morning's rain overnight as our temperatures slowly came up.  Looks like we could be close to 50F by Thursday.  Every little bit helps.  Just noticed, one month from now it will be Christmas Day.

IT WAS A DARK AND RAINY START FOR PHEEBS AND I THIS MORNING AND AT THE TIME OF PUBLICATION THIS EVENING......IT IS STILL RAINING 
RAIN WASN'T ENOUGH TO DAUNT THESE BAYFIELD FISHERMEN
WHITE BRIDGE GIRDERS AWAIT INSTALLATION ON BAYFIELD'S NEW BRIDGE
NO, I DID NOT SEE ANY DONUTS ON THE SHELVES YET
I'M GUESSING THESE LARGE BOULDERS ARE DESTINED FOR SOMEWHERE AROUND THE BAYFIELD HARBOR BUT I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE....CAN'T BE ALONG BAYFIELD'S BEACH BECAUSE THE WATER IS TOO SHALLOW THERE FOR THIS BARGE TO GET IN CLOSE.....BUT MAYBE

Pheebs and I have three basic areas of travel each morning.  South, East, and North.  We can't go West or we'd be right into Lake Huron.  North takes us up the coastline to Goderich and often northeast from there.  East generally takes us inland through Clinton and beyond sometimes branching off either north or south.  This morning we chose our southern route through Bayfield which usually angles eastward.  This route is generally our shortest but all three routes have many directional options due to the many intertwining country roads.  We never do the same route two days in a row.  We don't seem to branch out as far afield as we once did a few years ago but when we do it's always nice to see and re-see new things.

SNAPPED A FEW BAYFIELD HOUSE PICTURES ON OUR TRAVELS
I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE HOW MUCH MONEY A PERSON WOULD HAVE TO HAVE IN THEIR POCKET TO HAVE A 4 CAR GARAGE
I LIKE THE YELLOW DOOR ON THIS HOUSE

THIS IS MORE MY SPEED
Because of this morning's rain, we didn't travel too far.  Slipped into Bayfield but not beyond.  Cruised around a few streets, down around the harbor, checked out the new bridge construction and Tim Horton coffee shop progress, and stopped for a short walk in Pioneer Park.  We were again home by 10 and that pretty much ended another outside day.  Still raining, so with my Kindle reader in hand, I snuggled into my cushy sunroom recliner beside our toasty fireplace and pretty much stayed there for the rest of the day.  

THESE BENCHES FILL UP EACH EVENING IN THE SUMMERTIME WITH PEOPLE ENJOYING THE SUNSET OUT OVER LAKE HURON

GROANER'S CORNER:(( I was nervous the night my husband and I took our three young sons to a restaurant for the first time. My husband ordered a bottle of wine with the meal. When the waitress brought it, our children became quiet as she began the ritual uncorking. She poured a small amount for me to taste, at that moment, our six-year-old piped up, "Mom can drink a lot more than that."

Why do Dasher and Dancer enjoy coffee so much?  Because they're Santa's Star Bucks!

Knock-knock.
Who's there?
Dishes.
Dishes who?
Dishes the police! Come out with your hands up!

  2. Another day of fine photographs. You just keep turning them out! Lovely to see bird feathers so close and to see the rain on the road. (Obviously, it hasn't rained around here in a while.) Kind of boring for me to keep saying thank you, but I mean it.

  3. I agree with your home choice over the 4-car garage one! You and Kelly could make it into a cute little place.

  4. The four-car-garage house looks devoid of personality, cold. I kinda' like the one with the tow-away zone sign. It looks warmer, but it might also be because of the sign...

    How long has that coffee/donut place been abuilding? Do they ever finish one? ;->
