AND SO WENT ANOTHER WINTER'S DAY

 A SNOWY COLD AND WINDY MORNING AT GODERICH'S ROTARY COVE

With one prescription to drop off and two to pick up at the Walmart Pharmacy, Pheebs and I slip-slided our way to Goderich and back on this cold snowy late February morning.  

 SNOW COVERED ROADS

 I DON'T THINK THE SAP WILL BE RUNNING TODAY

 THIS FARM TRACTOR PATIENTLY AWAITS THE 'REAL' SPRING THAW

Area roads were snow-covered with a westerly wind blowing the snow around.  Despite the inclement weather it still wasn't bad enough to leave ourselves at home.  

 THE ONLY SHIP I SAW IN GODERICH'S PORT THIS MORNING WAS THE ALGOMA CONVEYOR

 THE JAGGED CHUNKS OF HARBOR ICE HAVE MELTED

 LAKE HURON HAD A COLD STORMY LOOK ABOUT HER

 A LONE PADDLER HEADS NORTH THROUGH THE ICE FLOES

 IT WILL BE A FEW MONTHS BEFORE THIS BEACH BENCH HAS ANY WARM TOASTY BUNS SITTING ON IT

 I NOTICED A FEW INUKSHUKS ALONG THE SHORELINE

With our usual Goderich routine wrapped up, we rolled out of the Walmart parking lot and headed home on snowy roads dodging through multitudes of snowflakes all the way.  

 NO, THAT IS NOT A DOWNHILL SKI RUN...IT IS THE ROAD HOME ON PORTER'S HILL LINE

 THIS PHOTO OF A FARMER CLEARING SNOW KINDA REMINDS ME OF CHRISTMAS WHICH BY THE WAY IS 304 DAYS FROM TODAY

And so went another Winter's day..............

 OUR SNOWY FRONT PORCH, DECK, AND FRONT YARD

GROANER'S CORNER:((  When Grandpa and Billy entered their vacation cabin, they kept the lights off until they were inside to keep from attracting insects. Still, a few fireflies followed them in. Noticing them before Grandpa did, Billy whispered, ‘It’s no use, Grandpa. The mosquitoes are coming after us with flashlights.’
