STARTED OUT CLOUDY-ENDED UP SUNNY AND AN 'ARCHIVE POST' TELLS ABOUT THE DAY WE TANGLED WITH A BIG KANSAS CROSSWIND ON I-70

Our overnight snowfall brought us about three inches of the stuff and with temps hoovering around the freezing mark this morning's snow was moisture laden.  Being so it was crunchy under foot.  Good thing, otherwise morning winds would have picked it up and blown it into a nasty snowstorm.

ALL WAS AS IT SHOULD BE AT BAYIELD'S BEACH

OUR SNOWY LITTLE STOPPING SPOT ON PAVILION ROAD

Since the Christmas holiday season this was the first official day routines returned to normal and despite me complaining about routines over the years I was glad to see everything routinely back in place.  Sidewalk Superintendents and Senior Straw Bosses like myself seem to have a need to have life back on schedule again so we can resume checking on each day's routine happenings.  The Bayfield bridge construction crew was back on scene and everything looked well and good as I passed by this morning.  Bayfield's main street had the right amount of cars on it, coffee shop was open, and a couple fellas with a Hi-Lift were working on Tim Hortons roof.   And that put a smile on my face.  All was what it should be so Pheebs and I slowly headed south out of town comfortable in the knowledge all appeared routinely normal again:))

Under cloudy gray skies Pheebs and I made our way around half a dozen snowy country roads.  Some roads aren't plowed so we simply followed the tracks of someone who had gone before us.  Likely a farm truck.

With a cold winds blowing we didn't stop for a walk anywhere but I did manage to take a few photos from the Jeep along the way.  Best part of the morning happened when blue holes began appearing in the cloud cover and it wasn't long and a sun splash landed right on the road up ahead of us.  I like when things like that happen.  Began to see more small bursts of sunlight and soon the depressing gray landscape gave way to a flood of color.  By noon we had clear blue skies overhead.

A PATCH OF BLUE

'YAAAAAAY A SUNSPLASH HAS JUST LANDED ON THE ROAD RIGHT IN FRONT OF US

HERE WE ARE RACING ALONG KEEPING OURSELVES IN THE SUNLIGHT

ALMOST HOME WE ARE FOLLOWING A BIG HOLE IN THE CLOUDS

With bright sunny skies still overhead Pheebs and I did get out for a muddy mid afternoon slush walk.  I could feel the Sun's warmth on my back and see those big blue skies hanging in there overhead.  A nice boost after the last three or four dark gloomy days.

NICE DAY FOR A SUNNY AFTERNOON WALK

I'M SURE LOVING THE BIG BLUE SKY THIS AFTERNOON

I WILL EXPLAIN THESE 3 FORD EXPLORER TRUCK PHOTOS TOMORROW

::Archive Post:: It was November 1rst 2007 when on our way to the southwest on I-70 we tangled with a big Kansas crosswind.  Big Kansas Winds...Lost Part Of Our Awning

SPOTTED THE FURRY FACE GANG ON OUR WAY HOME

::Al's Musical Favs:: At The River by Groove Armada:  A nice blend of old and new again, very different.  I'm not big on horns unless they are played low and slow like in this number.  I like how they introduce the horn and keep it rolling throughout.  Funky baseline too.  And would you believe its all connected to Patty Page's 'Old Cape Cod' song.

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A father was at the beach with his children when the four-year-old son ran up to him, grabbed his hand, and led him to the shore, where a seagull lay dead in the sand.  "Daddy, what happened to him?" the son asked.  "He died and went to Heaven," the dad replied.  The boy thought a moment and then said, "Then why did God throw him back down?"  The Father had no logical explanation................

Bob: Hey Bill, you know you owe me $500. Bill: Yes.
Bob: I’ll tell you what I’ll do. I’ll forget half of the money.
Bill: That’s perfect, I’ll forget the other half.
