MORE OF THE USUAL STUFF TONIGHT….A FEW WORDS AND PHOTOS

DSC_4194

IT’S A MISH MOSH OF RURAL PHOTOS TONIGHT TAKEN THIS PAST SATURDAY MORNING

This morning I was finally able to get outside and tackle a list of things needing done with one of those things requiring the use of a skil circular saw.  I was able to carefully do that without any further stress or injury to my sore right wrist……or so I thought.   Also able to get part way under our mobile home with my leaf blower and blow out some debris.  Happy to see it all dried up under there compared to a month or so ago when we had the big leak!!

SOON AS I SAW THE WORD ‘SALOON’ I THOUGHT OF THE GREAT AMERICAN SOUTHWEST

AT THE ENDS OF LONG LANES FARM KIDS WILL SOON BE WAITING IN SHELTERS LIKE THIS FOR THE SCHOOL BUS ON COLD WINTERY MORNINGS

Can you believe in just a few days it will be the first of September already and this coming weekend is actually Labor Day.  Where did the summer go??  No matter, I’m just happy it’s in it’s final stages of going.   Our weather began changing for the better pretty much right on schedule about mid August and it’s more like Arizona winter weather now.  Cool to warm days with cool to mildly cold nights.  Clear crisp air:))

NOPE DON’T THINK THAT’S A PIECE OF FARM MACHINERY WE SAW SOUTHEAST OF STAFFA SATURDAY MORNING

I really don’t have much more to write about again tonight.   For whatever reason my mind still seems to be idling along in neutral and I haven’t been able to quite get it fully into second gear.  Really been feeling my age this past  week and after working around outside this morning my sore wrist is firmly back in it’s brace:((

GROANER’S CORNER:(( Two elderly ladies meet at the launderette after not seeing one another for some time. After inquiring about each other's health, one asked how the other's husband was doing. "Oh! Ted died last week. He went out to the garden to dig up a cabbage for dinner, had a heart attack and dropped down dead right there in the middle of the vegetable patch!" "Oh dear! I'm so very sorry," replied her friend. "What did you do?"   "Opened a can of peas instead."

  2. Would bet that young farmer was asked to wash dishes and he is hiding out.

  4. Perhaps the young farmer is getting in the Saloon supply business. Nice to see tractors doing work.

  6. My guess on the beans is soy beans.

    I could just see kids around here waiting in a shelter in the snow for a bus. The ones I know won't ride the bus. They have their grandmothers hauling them around.

  7. Fall is rapidly approaching, the farmers and the fields are telling the story of us, now cooling down nicely for you.

  8. As usual, your pictures capture a wonderful slice of rural Ontario. Nice time of year as things get cooler, and the bugs are gone in the woods. So many of your pix were interesting today. A stonemason obviously took care building those domed upper windows in the first picture. I've never seen that many vultures in a single picture before. That big school bus shelter must reflect a big family. We've got a lot of 2nd cut hay going on now too. You don't have to write more, your great pix and a few words are just fine.
