ONE REALLY NEEDS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE LITTLE THINGS

 HOW NICE TO SEE  CHILDREN OUT ON THE PLAYGROUND AT THIS MENNONITE SCHOOL SOUTH OF BAYFIELD ON THE BRONSON LINE
Alone in the Jeep I made my way through lite patches of thin fog on my way to Clinton this morning.  My denturist appointment was at 9:30 and of course I was there on the early side.  A final fitting today and maybe next Tuesday morning I will head home with some new teeth.  And I have to say again, there is no comparison to having dentures made in Mexico and dentures made here at home in Canada.  I think it is a good example of you get what you pay for.  The people at Clinton's Albert St, Denture Clinic are just the best.

 A SLIGHT MIST IN THE AIR ON MY DRIVE TO CLINTON
Home again shortly after 10 I picked up Pheebs and we took ourselves for a wee drive south of Bayfield.  How nice to see farm fields finally appearing out of the snow.  Some plowed fields were already free of the white stuff.  Our Park with all its shadowy pine trees will be one of the last places to lose all its ice and snow.  It happens that way every year.  Checking late morning's temps I saw that it was already 42F.  Our high today topped out at 46F with Wednesday predicted to possibly be 50F plus.  Needless to say, about 95% of the snow is gone off our roof.

 HOW NICE TO SEE FARM FIELDS AGAIN
 NO, I DIDN'T STOP TO TAKE THESE PHOTOS AND MAKE PEOPLE UNCOMFORTABLE

 THESE ARE ALL 'DRIVE-BY' PHOTOS
 ALL THE BIG LIFTING CRANES HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM THE BAYFIELD BRIDGE SITE
 I'M GUESSING THEY MAY BE DOING MORE CEMENT WORK
We have a lot of ice in our driveway so I keep going out and chipping away at it with my ice chopper.  Yes, I could simply wait until it melts but I like to think I am personally helping the melt by chipping the ice into smaller chunks.  One really needs to take advantage of the little things.

 OH HOW I LOVE TO SEE PUDDLES OF MELTING SNOW:))))

  1. Indeed the little things make all the difference. I've never even heard of chopping ice (not since dad used to use an ice pick on the block in the ice chest). Great to see the kids enjoying the sunny outdoors, they all look comfortable in light sweaters. Before long your garden will be coming to life!

  2. Hope you like your new chops Al. Neat seeing that family playing outside with snow all about. You need another hobby Al. Chipping ice in the driveway may be a little much. 😀
