THE CANADA/US BORDER.....AND SO IT GOES

 RECTANGULAR BALES OF STRAW AFTER THE WHEAT HARVEST
Pheebs and I changed up our morning routine today.  I was interested in watching Blue Origin's 4 people rocket launch this morning so we were late in getting our Jeep ride underway.  We didn't go far and made another change to our routine.  I have not been getting near enough exercise for my legs so we drove the short distance to our starry nightspot in the countryside on a little-used side road and parked.  Leaving my camera in the Jeep, Pheebs and I with feet and paws churning, hit the road walking.  My diabetic nurse person urged me to do this so I am going to try and get myself into this walking habit each morning.  It was a brisk walk with no camera in hand to slow me down.  After our walk, we headed home but in the future, we will venture off somewhere as we usually do.  Well, it sounds good in theory of course so we will see how it goes...............

THE ADVANTAGE OF WALKING HERE IS THE OPEN AIR FREEDOM FROM MOSQUITOS AND DEER FLYS
 ROUND BALES OF STRAW
 GRAIN WAGONS WAIT TO BE FILLED WITH MORE WHEAT

 A SEA OF BEANS FOR AS FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE ALONGSIDE OUR WALKING ROAD
 BEFORE OUR WALK PHEEBS HAD TO DO SOME EXPLORING FIRST
Noticed on this morning's news the Canadian/U.S. border will be half-open as of August 4th.  Americans with Covid tests. etc. will be able to cross into Canada but Canadians will still not be allowed to cross into the United States yet.  With Covid escalating in the States and de-escalating in Canada it seems the two countries have got things a bit backasswards there somehow.  And so it goes............

  4. They have closed the border again saying Canadians can not go! It is due to the Delta virus.

  5. I find a step-counter encourages me to do more walking even though I don't want to. Weird. Just a thought.

  6. That wasn't clear - I meant the kind of step counter you put in your pocket or wear on your wrist or clip on your shirt.....

  7. Happy for you that you are starting to add some brisk walking to your routine. We should all be doing so.
