COWS ARE CURIOUS CREATURES

Little Monkey Beans and I were out the door earlier than usual to take advantage of the morning's cooler air.  And what a beautiful morning it was with a refreshingly cool breeze gently ruffling through acres of ripening wheat and barley fields.  Too many biting Deer flies for a walk in the shaded forest so we were home again less than an hour after we had left.

AND THESE DITCH LILIES ARE REALLY IN THE DITCH

Needing to make a few small changes outside before bringing the Winnebago Spirit home later this week I got right at those changes before the miserable heat and humidity were upon us.  Hooked up the utility trailer and hauled some yard waste to our Park's recycling area.  The utility trailer had to be moved anyway to make room for the Winnebago Spirit.  Returning from the recycle area I parked the trailer on the other side of the decorative divider which will separate it and the RV.  Of course, this is all hinging on the idea I can back the RV into its spot instead of driving it straight into the RV spot like before.  If not I will have to take the decorative divider down.  At 24' I should be okay backing in the rig.  Might have to trim a few branches here and there because of the Spirit's height.  We'll see.

UTILITY TRAILER ON ONE SIDE OF THE DIVIDER AND SPACE ON THE OTHER SIDE FOR THE RV  

We know there will be readers wondering why in these turbulent times we would buy another RV.  Well, I have to say that thought has gone through our minds as well, and more than once.  How could it not.  RV travels are in our blood and have been since the day we met.  In fact, we both had the traveling bug even before we met.  Kelly's parents were RV'ers and relatives on my side were travelers as well.  For us, it was always a dream, always a goal.  When we bring the Winnebago Spirit home it will be our 9th RV.  Seven motorized and two towables.  We have been without an RV for over a year now and that has never felt right to us.  Something missing in our lives.  We tried unsuccessfully to convince ourselves our RVing days were over.  Hang up the keys and forget about it.  Well, to make a long story short, we couldn't forget about it!!  We're not dead or incapacitated yet.  Yes, our health isn't what it was but if we're still upright, walking, and talking and thinking clearly why can't we still chase after a few last dreams while we still can.  Time may come soon enough when all our last options will be taken away from us and we will be left sitting in a chair or lying in a bed staring blankly at a wall in a nursing home.  From dream to nightmare just like that.  

IF I DIDN'T KNOW ANY BETTER I'D SAY THIS WAS A TARANTULA SPIDER ON THAT SUNFLOWER

With the 'perfect storm' already forming and with all it's components about to be unleashed on the United States I feel the border between our countries could be closed for a very, very, long time.  (Here's Why)  And even if it is opened and because of the coming 'political' storm, I'm not sure travel to the US would be advisable anyway this Fall and Winter.  So, at this point, I am not too optimistic about heading anywhere south of the border any time soon but we haven't given up hope.  And if there is a chance we can, then at least now we have an RV to get there.  In the meantime, we'll use our RV for day trips and short four or five-day jaunts around Ontario.  We're not down and out and ready for the marble orchard just yet so hang in there folks and we'll see where we can go:))

A FRIENDLY FARM WAVE

HEY WAIT A MINUTE......THAT AIN'T NO REAL PERSON

BEEN AWHILE SINCE I'VE SEEN ME A NEW BARN BLOCK QUILT

The heat and humidity today was just downright miserable and ridiculously stupid.  It was a two shower day for me.  These overly hot days have the same effect on us as the overly cold days of Winter.  Both extremes trap us in the house.  No doubt about it, our summer's are becoming increasingly hotter.  Not good, not good at all!!

GROANER'S CORNER:(( Joe said, "Know what, Charlie? I killed 5 flies yesterday, 3 males and 2 females."  "How could you tell them apart, Joe? asked Charlie.  "Joe replied, "It was easy. The 3 males were sitting on a case of beer, and the 2 females were on the phone."
