YOU ARE THE FOLKS WHO KEEP MY HEAD ABOVE WATER

NOTICE HOW THIS RED BELLIED WOODPECKER USES IT'S TAIL TO STEADY ITSELF
Pheebs and I followed Libby's windshield wipers out the driveway this morning and headed north.  Lots of rain coming down so we had to keep our windows up.  And we stayed off the muddy country roads again.  Took a little buzz around Goderich and came home again.
LAKE HURON WATERS WERE CALM THIS MORNING
THE MARBLED ROCK IS STILL LYING AT THE WATER'S EDGE
ANOTHER LARGE ROCK ABOUT 10 YARDS AWAY IS ALSO BEING UNDERMINED AND WILL SOON JOIN THE MARBLED ROCK BELOW AT THE WATER'S EDGE
WORK CREWS WILL CERTAINLY HAVE TO DUMP A LOT OF LARGE BOULDERS ALONG HERE TO STOP THE CREEPING EROSION AND YES THAT'S THE PHEEBS OVER THERE IN THE GRASS
THESE CONCRETE CHUNKS WILL SOON BE LOWERED IN PLACE ALONG THE TROUBLED SHORELINE
With temps at 55F I figured it was a good time to turn our outside water on and that is what I did.  No leaks.  Rains quit by late morning and we had ourselves the warmest day of the year so far.  Our Pontiac Sunfire heads into the Bayfield garage in the morning for an oil change, possible brake job, and a tire evaluation.  
ROTARY COVES BEACH AREA ISN'T LOOKING TOO ATTRACTIVE AT THE MOMENT BUT IT'S AN ANNUAL CLEAN-UP PROJECT AND SOON WILL BE FINE FOR SUMMER SWIMMERS
A LARGE CHUNK OF ICE ON THE SHORELINE LOOKS LIKE A BIG LIZARD FACING LEFT
HERE THE LAKESHORE IS KINDA LOOKING LIKE THE ARCTIC TUNDRA
I really don't have much to write about tonight.  Just one of those quiet Sunday's I guess.  But I will take the opportunity to once again say a big 'Thank-You' to everyone reading my blog.  You are the folks who keep my head above water...………….:))
HIGHWAY 21 COMING INTO GODERICH'S SOUTH END LOOKED PRETTY DESERTED THIS MORNING
NOT MUCH GOING ON DOWNTOWN EITHER
NO THIS IS NOT THE ALAMO....IT'S GODERICH'S VERY OWN LIVERY THEATRE
STIRRED US UP A HERD OF SEAGULLS ALONG THE WAY TODAY
AND THIS IS HOW WE TRAVEL NOWADAYS
GROANER'S CORNER:((  The local church was desperately looking to hire someone to ring the church bell. After over a week of no leads, a fellow shows up asking for the job. The president of the church walks out of his office to interview the job candidate when he notices the man has no arms. “Excuse me sir”, said the president, “but how do you expect to ring the bill without arms?” “Just watch”, said the man confidently, and with that, the man charged toward the bell and banged his face onto it emitting a wonderful loud clang. “Wow” said the president “that was wonderful!” “Agreed” said the secretary coming in “that was simply beautiful.” “Can I see you do it again?” asked the secretary, who missed the first performance. “Sure” said the man, who again charged toward the bell. Unfortunately he tripped on the way falling and striking his head and died. “Do we even know his name?” asked the baffled secretary. “I don’t know” answered the president, “but his face sure rang a bell!”

  1. Nice to see you have ample supplies in your vehicle! Keep taking those trips even if you don't stop or get out. I appreciate your efforts in doing this. Beautiful rocks. I wish I knew more about geology, I could say something informative, but no.....

  2. No, Al, I think that you and your fellow bloggers-many of whom I accessed from your sidebar over time-help us who are now social isolating. You have become our extended family/friends. Might just be time for me to stop lurking and start commenting to let you folks know how much you are appreciated.
