COLD WET NOVEMBER DAYS ARE DEFINITELY UPON US

Another cold, windy and rain swept November morning so Pheebs and I followed our windshield wipers around through the countryside for an hour or so.  Made the mistake of heading over to the Hullett Marsh forgetting it was deer hunting season so we weren't long in exiting the area.  Didn't matter, seemed like those hunter types were all over the country roads in their little bright orange hunting suits.

I GUESS THESE TWO WILL WALK THROUGH THE BUSH TO SCARE THE DEER OUT AND THEIR BUDDIES BELOW ARE SET UP AROUND THE PERIMETER TO SHOOT THE DEER AS THEY COME OUT INTO THE OPEN....I'M NOT A HUNTER AND I'M JUST GUESSING THIS IS WHAT THESE GUYS ARE DOING

YOU CAN SEE IN SOME OF THESE PHOTOS HOW MOST OF OUR COLORED LEAVES ARE NOW OFF THE TREES

Slept part of the afternoon away and only ventured outside when we had a brief half hour of sunshine.  

IT'S HUNTING SEASON SO THESE HORSES HAVE ON THEIR BULLET PROOF VESTS......WELL OKAY SO THEY ARE JUST WARMING BLANKETS

IF THIS FARMER DOESN'T GET HIS BEANS HARVESTED SOON HE'S GOING TO NEED A SNOWPLOW TO DO IT

I WOULD SAY 90% OF OUR AUTUMN LEAVES ARE ON THE GROUND NOW

LOOKS LIKE THESE RV'ERS MIGHT NOT BE HEADING SOUTH THIS WINTER EITHER

We are following reader's suggestions and checking into things regarding 'Seasonal Affective Disorder' (SAD)  Looking at light therapy lamps and also a few things at the health food store as well.  Must admit I'm a bit skeptical about stuff like this but I'm willing to give it a try.  I think what makes it worse for me this year is that we have no travel plans to look forward to like we did for the past 13 years.  Despite chances rapidly dwindling now that the cold weather is here we are still hopeful we might find another RV soon and maybe at least get away to a sunny warm location somewhere for a month or so this winter.

STILL SOME COLOR IN THE COUNTRYSIDE

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A WISE MAN ONCE SAID:

IF MY BODY IS EVER FOUND ON A JOGGING TRAIL, JUST KNOW THAT I WAS MURDERED SOMEWHERE ELSE AND DUMPED THERE.

RESPECT YOUR ELDERS. THEY GRADUATED FROM SCHOOL WITHOUT THE INTERNET.

I'VE DECIDED I'M NOT OLD.  I'M 25 — PLUS SHIPPING AND HANDLING.

WHY DO I HAVE TO PRESS "1" FOR ENGLISH?  DID AMERICA MOVE?

 

BEHIND EVERY ANGRY WOMAN STANDS A MAN WHO HAS ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHAT HE DID WRONG.

LET'S STOP SENDING MONEY TO OTHER COUNTRIES AND LET THEM HATE US FOR FREE.

IN MY DEFENSE I WAS LEFT UNSUPERVISED.

IF GUNS KILL PEOPLE, THEN PENCILS MISSPELL WORDS, CARS MAKE PEOPLE DRIVE DRUNK, AND SPOONS MAKE PEOPLE FAT.

MY DECISION-MAKING SKILLS CLOSELY RESEMBLE THOSE OF A SQUIRREL WHEN CROSSING THE ROAD.

SOME THINGS ARE JUST BETTER LEFT UNSAID — AND I USUALLY REALIZE IT RIGHT AFTER I SAY THEM.

I THOUGHT GETTING OLD WOULD TAKE LONGER.

A WISE MAN ONCE SAID ………. 'NOTHING'.
