SHE ALWAYS ENJOYS GETTING OUT AND SEEING THINGS

A gentle rain came quietly in the night, leaving us with a slightly sultry overcast day, and that was okay.  The first 'sun pop' happened at 11.a.m., followed by another one an hour later.  From there, the day just got sunnier....and humid.

Woodsie rolled in late Wednesday afternoon, and she soon had some chicken/ceaser salad wraps going on..........Neighbor Monica had a medical appointment in Zurich early this afternoon, so I picked her up and drove her there.  Monica had never been to Jerry Rader's Homestyle before, so before leaving Zurich after her appointment, we popped in for a browse.  She picked up a number of things in the frozen food section.  On the way home, we swung through Bayfield for a little drive around because Monica seldom gets into Bayfield anymore.  She always enjoys getting out and seeing things, and especially the countryside with all of its colorful fields and picturesque farms.  The sunny afternoon just added to all the beauty.

“A what?” “It says, ‘ Any opinions expressed by Peter are not necessarily those of his mother or father,’”

I THINK MY FRONT PORCH HAS BECOME A FAVORITE SPOT

Early August has been memorable over the years.  It was thirty-three years ago on August 2nd that Kelly and I first met at a little coffee shop near Doon, Ontario.  It was the Monday of the August long weekend.  And it was eighteen years later on August 9th, that Kelly and I met the fabulous Pheebs in Zurich, Ontario.  We were quite a team for the best part of fourteen years.  Just a couple of old memories from days long gone by.  

TUESDAY EVENING'S SUNSET AS SEEN FROM MY WALKING ROAD THROUGH MY iPHONE

 AN AREA FARMER BURNING THE MIDNIGHT OIL TUESDAY NIGHT

Not one of my better days, but I did get out for a drive through the countryside southeast of Bayfield this morning with a walk at an old walking spot Pheebs and I liked.  I spent a couple hours reading on my front porch this afternoon.  I think my porch has become a favorite spot of mine this summer.  So peaceful with the chipmunks scampering about and birds singing in the treetops.

 IT WAS ANOTHER NICE MORNING DRIVE THROUGH THE COUNTRYSIDE

 PHEEBS AND I ALWAYS ENJOYED WALKING ALONGSIDE THIS HEDGEROW

GROANER'S CORNER:(( This fellow is looking to buy a saw to cut down some trees in his backyard. He goes to a chainsaw shop and asks about various chainsaws. The dealer tells him, "Look, I have a lot of models, but why don't you save yourself a lot of time and aggravation and get the top-of-the-line model. This chainsaw will cut a hundred cords of wood for you in one day." So, the man takes the chainsaw home and begins working on the trees. After cutting for several hours and only cutting two cords, he decides to quit. He thinks there is something wrong with the chainsaw. "How can I cut for hours and only cut two cords?" the man asks himself. "I will begin first thing in the morning and cut all day," the man tells himself. So, the next morning the man gets up at 4 am in the morning and cuts and cuts, and cuts till nightfall, and still he only manages to cut five cords. The man is convinced this is a bad saw. "The dealer told me it would cut one hundred cords of wood in a day, no problem. I will take this saw back to the dealer," the man says to himself. The very next day the man brings the saw back to the dealer and explains the problem. The dealer, baffled by the man's claim, removes the chainsaw from the case. The dealer says, "Hmm, it looks fine." Then the dealer starts the chainsaw, to which the man responds, "What's that noise?
