| TURNS OUT THIS WAS THE ONLY PHOTO I TOOK TODAY....THE OTHER THREE PHOTOS ARE FROM A COUPLE DAYS AGO |
Living here less than a mile from the Eastern shores of Lake Huron on the outskirts of Bayfield Ontario for nearly 18 years now we have learned a few things. And I was reminded of one of those things this morning. Stay off the main highways and away from the beach areas. Avoid the towns and stay out of the grocery stores. It's tourist time here in our area and although not nearly as bad this year as other years we are in the habit of staying home anyway away from the jumble of people and traffic that generally accompanies long holiday weekends in the summer. Well, any summer weekend usually. With that wiseness in mind Booger Buns and I headed for Walmart and the Canadian Tire Store in Goderich. Luckily we were in and out of both places before all the shoppers rolled in. |
| PHEEBS AND I CRUISING ALONG IN THE WINNIE ON OUR WAY TO RICHARD'S WEDNESDAY MORNING |
Thought we'd slip down around to the Rotary Cove beach area but it was not to be. Only 9 o'clock and they had already closed the beach. I'm guessing too many out of town beachgoers had swarmed in early and overwhelmed the available space. No point in hanging around so with a leg stretch stop along the way Pheebs and I headed home. It was beginning to get way too hot anyway.Some puttering around in the carport this afternoon and that was about the height of any physical activity. Just another miserably humid day in this seemingly endless long hot summer. GROANER'S CORNER:(( "Give me a sentence about a public servant," said the teacher. The small boy wrote: "The fireman came down the ladder pregnant." The teacher took the lad aside to correct him. "Don't you know what pregnant means?" she asked. "Sure," said the young boy, confidently. "Means carrying a child." ---------------------------
Teacher: “What is the difference between ‘Tea’ and ‘Tee’? Student: "The first one is a drink and the second is an incorrect spelling."

I read they closed the beach today and already plan to close it tomorrow, people meeting in groups bigger than 10.
ReplyDelete61 degrees F with overcast and light drizzle all day. That is fine by me.
ReplyDeleteI know you miss Borrego Springs, which set a new record Friday at 121F! Part of our 'July-Fry' ... but it's a dry heat :)
ReplyDeleteWe popped into our local NoFrills this afternoon. I was pleasantly surprised that it was all but deserted.
ReplyDeleteWe are enjoying our collection of Neil Diamond RECORDS tonight with our new amplifier. UP next is Hot August Night. Appropriate!
Ah crowds. Everywhere there's water and sunshine.Even here (Texas). I do love the photos of Pheebs riding along...the way she kind of squints her eyes, holds her nose up, looking wise and kind. But maybe that's just because the window is rolled down a little....something new to sniff. Still, she looks like sage. Always.
ReplyDeleteGood that they closed the beach. Wish they would here.
ReplyDeleteI understand your "endless summer", however we only finally got into the 90's a few days ago and we here in Kelowna, BC are ecstatic.
We just did a drive through our park and it seems that other than the owners, 50% are from Alberta. The park is the fullest it has been this year. Management is happy. Us not so much. We continue to hunker down at home
It's so hot and dry in Montana--our new air conditioners are lost in transit, at least we don't have humidity.
