SO WHY ARE THE RUSSIANS LOOKING AT MY BLOG!!!!

CANADA STEAMSHIP LINES.....ASSINIBOINE IN THE GODERICH HARBOR TODAY

If it was March we'd be jumping for joy if day time temperatures were over 40F.  But it's October and we're now grumbling because daytime temps have dropped into the 40's.  Crazy huh!!

SPOTTED THIS MORNING MOON ON OUR WAY TO GODERICH THIS MORNING

MOWING ROADSIDE DITCHES

BEAN HARVEST IS PRETTY MUCH OVER SO NEXT IT WILL BE THE CORN HARVEST

Sure glad we had a double carport built years ago.  No scraping frost off the windshield on cold mornings or snow in the wintertime.  I actually prefer a carport over a garage.  I don't know why that is it just is.  Some prefer to have a basement in their house and some don't.  I do.  Lots of folks like a second story on their house.  I am not one of those people.  I grew up in a big two story brick house so I've been there and done that.  So what am I getting at here.  I don't know, just blabbering.

THE ALGOMA BUFFALO WAITS FOR THE ASSINIBOINE TO LOAD UP AND HEAD OUT

Some readers may wonder from time to time about my spelling of certain words.  Especially Canadians.  Why do I spell color instead of colour or neighbor instead of neighbour.  And why do I use miles instead of kilometers, feet instead of meters, and farenheit instead of celcius.  Well, there's a couple reasons actually.  First, about 75% of my blogs readers are in the United States.  Second, I've just never adjusted to the metric system.  Yes I know I should have by now but I haven't.  

'HEY PHYLISS DID YOU HEAR WHAT RALPH WAS UP TO LAST NIGHT'

Sticking with numbers did you know my blog's American readers have always led the way as far as readership goes but imagine my surprise this morning when I decided to have a look at Google Analytics and found out Americans are not the main readers of my blog anymore and it's a little disconcerting to see Russia is now number 1.  Here's the stats today for my readership according to Google.  I don't know what the 'page views' time frame is for the numbers.

Strange about that Russian number eh.

WINDOW REFLECTION OF A PORCH ORNAMENT

Another gorgeous Autumn day with lots of sunshine and cool temperatures.  Pheebs and I bombed around for about an hour and a half this morning before heading home.  At the time of posting this tonight rains are almost upon us and it looks like we are probably in for a couple days of wet stuff.

I PLANTED THIS CLUMP OF BAMBOO GRASS AT THE PARK POND ABOUT SIX YEARS AGO

FRONT YARD POND

CHIPPY SCOOPS UP SOME BIRDSEED ATOP A STUMP

Nice being able to get out for afternoon walks with Pheebs around the trails here in the Park.  Won't be long and that will come to a jarring halt as winter sets in.  I remember the first few years we were here when we had our first dog Max.  We didn't let the snow stop us and would dress up warm and head out to trudge through the forest snow anyway.  We're not into that so much anymore. 

PHEEBS WAITS PATIENTLY WHILE I TAKE A COUPLE PHOTOS NEAR THE POND

GROANER'S CORNER:(( There was a young Scottish boy called Angus who decided to try life in Australia. He found an apartment in a small block and settled in. After a week or two, his mother called from Aberdeen to see how her son was doing in his new life.  'I'm fine, ' Angus said. 'But there are some really strange people living in these apartments. One woman cried all day long, another lies on her floor moaning, and there is a guy next door to me who bangs his head on the wall all the time.' 'Well, ma laddie,' says his mother, 'I suggest you don't associate with people like that.' 'Oh,' says Angus, 'I don't, Mam, I don't. No, I just stay inside my apartment all day and night, playing my bagpipes.'
---------------------------- Went to the gym and there's a new machine.  I used it for an hour and felt sick. Its good though, it does everything.  Kit Kats, Mars bars, Snickers, etc...
