FOLLOWED THE BUGGY TRACKS TO WHERE THE ANGELS WERE SINGING

At the risk of yet again sounding like a worn out record I have to start off for the umpteenth time with the weather because it is so nice.  Especially the cooler mornings.  At least I’m not doing my usual mumbling and grumbling about heat and humidity and that has to be a big plus I figure. 

ON OUR WAY TO GODERICH WE SPOTTED THIS NICE OLD TRUCK

HEY IS THAT A MERMAID I SEE OUT THERE

OOPS GUESS NOT

SUNDAY MORNING YOGA CLASS ON THE PATIO OF THE BEACH STREET STATION RESTAURANT

BIG BOAT LITTLE BOAT

LOTS OF FOLKS OUT WALKING THIS MORNING

Pheebs and I headed off up into Amish/Mennonite country in hopes of tracking down some buggy tracks leading to where the Angels were singing.  We were successful in finding which farm was hosting their Sunday morning get together so parked on the road for a few minutes listening to the folks voices lifting and falling on the mornings cool southern breeze.  It’s not exactly singing they are doing because I can never make out any words.  It’s a sound I can’t describe.

We were back home about noon and Mike was here working on our shed roof.  With Monday’s weather forecast predicting rain he decided to get at the roof a day earlier.  Will be glad to have that new shed roof project behind us. 

GOTTA KEEP THAT EXPENSIVE MACHINERY DRY

IT’S NOT JUST ALL COWS AND TRACTORS OUT HERE IN THE COUNTRYSIDE

Catched me 3 more frogs today and escorted them peacefully over to the Park’s pond where they will have lots of company with a zillion other little froggies.

NOT THE BEST PICS OF THE MYSTERY FISH IN OUR POND BUT THEY ARE DEFINITELY NOT MINNOWS

I CALLS EM ‘THE TAMARACK GANG’

SNEAKING UP ON A WATER SPIDER >>>

Started my food intake day the same as usual with a Yummy Yuk shake.  Carrot muffin for morning break and a small hunk of frying sausage for lunch.  Supper consisted of Chicken Noodle Soup and two pieces of toast.  For desert I chased that all down with a peanut butter and honey sammich.  Nope, no chance of me fading away any time soon.

MORE EARLY SIGNS OF AUTUMN EVERY DAY

 

Sometimes sitting here at the keyboard at night putting my post together for the day I think to myself, ‘what can I write about that I won’t later regret at some point or worry about.’  Well I guess if I kept myself and my thoughts and feelings out of my posts I would probably be on some pretty safe ground as a blogger and my concerns would be absent.  However that’s not who I am and I guess I am just stuck with myself, what I think, and my daily desire to share my mind and my hobbies publicly.   Oh Dear…………..

GROANER’S CORNER:((  A man is sitting at the bar in his local tavern, furiously imbibing shots of whiskey. One of his friends happens to come into the bar and sees him. "Lou," says the shocked friend, "what are you doing? I've known you for over fifteen years, and I've never seen you take a drink before. What's going on?" Without even taking his eyes off his newly filled shot glass, the man replies, "My wife just ran off with my best friend." He then throws back another shot of whisky in one gulp. "But," says the other man, "I'm your best friend!"   The man turns to his friend, looks at him through bloodshot eyes, smiles, and then slurs, "Not anymore! He is!"

Doctor: Nurse, how is that little girl doing who swallowed ten quarters last night?

KELLY HEADS FOR SPENCERPORT NY WHILE PHEEBS AND I HEAD FOR DESTINATIONS UNKNOWN

JUDY, THE BIRD LADY OF BLOGLAND AND NOW OF JOJOBA HILLS CALIFORNIA WOULD CALL THIS PHOTO…’THE END’
Kelly rolled out of the driveway for Spencerport New York this morning at 8:20.  Pheebs and I rolled out for destinations unknown 10 minutes later. 

‘DAD SAID YOUR GOING TO BE AWAY FOR A WHOLE WEEK MOM, SAY IT ISN’T SO’

‘OH-NO’ MOM’S PACKING UP HER STUFF’

‘I’M COUNTING THE DAYS TILL YOU GET HOME MOM

I HAD A VERY SAD DOGGY ON MY HANDS UNTIL I SAID……’LET’S GO FOR A JEEP RIDE’

HURRY HOME:))
What an absolutely beautiful September morning.  Clear skies and cool temperatures again made for an exceptionally nice cruise through the countryside east to Clinton then southeast along roads with very little to no traffic on them.  Probably one of the nicest Saturday morning drives we've had for a long time.

A COUPLE OF THE BOYS OUT FOR A SATURDAY MORNING DRIVE ON THEIR TRACTORS

A GREAT WOOD CARVING MADE FROM AN OLD TREE STUMP

COMPARED TO YEARS AGO MOST FARMS LOOK SOOOOOO NICE THESE DAYS

THIS OLD ABANDONED FARM HOUSE LOOKS LIKE IT IS RIGHT UP OUR ALLEY

OH BOY HOW I WOULD LOVE TO GET INTO THAT OVERGROWN GREENERY MESS AND MAKE SOMETHING NICE OUT OF IT

SURE WAS A FINE MORNING TO BE OUT AND ABOUT

NOT ALL COUNTRY ROADS ARE AS WIDE AS OTHER

ANOTHER ONE OF OUR LEG STRETCH SPOTS IN THE HAY SWAMP

IN A FEW WEEKS THESE WOODS WILL BE A BLAZE OF COLOR
A few leg stretch stops along the way with one of them in a little church yard in Cromarty Ontario.  It wasn’t our first stop here but I didn’t remember seeing the little dog statue atop one of the tombstones before. 


I WOULD SAY THAT MIGHT BE THE CHURCH’S ORIGINAL STONE WORK

 
I FELT SADNESS WHEN STANDING HERE

A WEE TOUCH OF COLOR IN THE BUSH LINES TODAY

‘HEY LOOK GIRLS IT’S PHEEBS’
Arcing south then swinging back west we doddled our way along with windows down taking in the countryside’s fresh morning air.  Decided to head for A & W in Exeter Ontario.  I remembered they had Teen Burgers on for $3:50 so hanging onto that thought we ambled ourselves on over there.

‘UMM I DON’T THINK SO DAD I’M ON A DIET YOU KNOW’

OKAY SPOOGS GUESS I’LL HAVE TO FINISH IT ALL OFF BY MYSELF’

HOLY SMOKES WE FOUND US SOME MORE BARN BLOCK QUILTS TODAY TOO

IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY YOU CAN SEE A SECOND BARN QUILT IN THIS PHOTO


THERE’S THE SECOND BARN QUILT

UNFORTUNATELY I COULDN’T GET A BETTER ANGLE ON THIS ONE


Kelly made it to Spencerport safely but it wasn’t the smoothest drive. It was a 6 hour drive.  Here’s her email….”Oh man, I should have left at 6 a.m. or waited till Sunday.  Traffic was so heavy from Brantford on.  Stop and go, never got over 60-70 kil./hr.  I kept waiting to come upon the accident or what was causing it.  Nothing.....just volume I guess.  Border was not bad though, only 5 cars ahead of me.  Jeepers, I am knackered.   Going to have a lay down now.”

CURIOUSLY ENOUGH I CAME ACROSS THIS ON THE BABYLON LINE


Mike, the fellow who will be doing our shed roof Monday dropped off a couple 12 pine boards Friday and this afternoon I painted them.  They will replace some of the rotten fascia boards around the roof edges. 

I THINK SOME OF THE NICEST FALL DISPLAYS I SAW TODAY WERE RIGHT HERE IN OUR VERY OWN 5 SEASONS ESTATES PARK

Now I know some fellers get themselves in pretty bad shape by not eating well when their wives are away but I’m not one of them.  For supper tonight it was a hunk of left over Lasagna, a bowl of Cheerios and 2 peanut butter and honey sandwiches.  No Sireeee, no starving myself by not eating well for this guy:))

GROANER’S CORNER:((  Steven Spielberg was discussing his new project -- an action docudrama about famous composers starring top movie stars. Sylvester Stallone, Steven Seagal, Bruce Willis, and Arnold Schwarzenegger being courted for the top roles.   Spielberg really hoped to have the box office "oomph" of these superstars, so he was prepared to allow them to select the composers they would portray, as long as they were among the most famous.   "Well," started Stallone, "I've always admired Mozart. I would love to play him." "Chopin has always been my favorite, and my image would improve if people saw me playing the piano," said Willis. "I'll play him." "I've always been partial to Strauss and his waltzes," said Seagal. "I'd like to play him." Spielberg was very pleased with these choices. "Sounds splendid." Then, looking at Schwarzenegger, he asked, "Who do you want to be, Arnold?" Arnold replied, "I'll be Bach."
----------------------------------
A guy was walking along the street when he saw a crowd of people running towards him. He stopped one of the runners and asked: "What's happening?" The runner replied breathlessly: "A lion has escaped from the zoo."  "Oh my, which way is it heading?"   "Well you don't think we are chasing it, do you?"
