With our temps above freezing, rains came in the night and knocked the stuffings out of our recent snow load. Lots of ground showing through some farmer's fields this morning.
THIS IS NOT SNOW OR SLEEP PELLETS THIS MALE CARDINAL IS STANDING IN...ITS GRAUPEL
NICE TO SEE GROUND SHOWING THROUGH THE SNOW ALREADY

COUNTRY ROADS WERE A COMBINATION OF SNOW, ICE, SLUSH, AND MUD 
IF YOU LOOK REAL HARD YOU CAN SEE LAKE HURON AHEAD 
SIGN MEANS THESE ROADS AREN'T PLOWED IN THE WINTER
Coming back into Bayfield's south end I noticed cars in the Tim Hortons parking lot so I wheeled in. All the coffee shops lights were on and I could see staff inside moving about. The convenience store lights were all on as well and the store looked well stocked. Parked in front of Tim Hortons and tried the door but it was locked. I think it may have been orientation day for the new staff but I did see racks of donuts so that made me think the coffee shop might even be opening today. Just a guess.
THIS ROAD LOOKS PRETTY GOOD FOR NOT BEING PLOWED
LIGHTS WERE ON AND I COULD SEE STAFF MOVING ABOUT 
BY GOLLY THERE GOES SOMEBODY'S LEGS NOW 
I WOULDN'T THINK THEY WOULD HAVE DONUTS ON THE SHELVES IF THEY WEREN'T PLANNING ON OPENING TODAY SO OF COURSE, YOU KNOW WHERE OUR FIRST STOP WILL BE IN THE MORNING
Shoveled out the last third of our driveway today including in front of our RV. Why shovel out the RV if it's not going anywhere this winter? Well, it's kind of a psychological thing. Just makes me feel better to do that and who knows, they just might open that border sometime in the next couple years eh:)) 
YES, FREE WIFI IS ALWAYS WELCOME
Facebook reminded me today that 10 years ago about this time we were hanging out in Tombstone Arizona.
DRIVEWAY IN FRONT OF THE RV IS CLEAR AND IF THEY OPEN THE BORDER SOMEDAY WE'LL BE READY TO RUMBLE AGAIN:__
GROANER'S CORNER:(( He was an inventor of note. He created a big shoe with a phone in the heel. Now, he thought, he could use a phone whenever he wanted. He made several more so that he could have several shoes with phones in the house. One day, an emergency came up and he needed a phone bad. Would you believe it, he couldn't find a single phone boot.
A LITTLE CREEK RUNNING THROUGH OUR PARK
Q: Why was Adam a famous runner?
A: Because he was first in the human race.

They're really going to get that coffee shop opened before the end of the year?! Hope it's as good as expected. Love the gray barn with the green trees in front. But those shots of the frozen lakeside yesterday are stunning. All that power on pause!
ReplyDeletePerhaps they were just open for drive through?
ReplyDeleteNice photos and hope your wish that Tim's will be open tomorrow comes true. You have been very patiently waiting for the grand opening.
ReplyDeleteWe had 16 inches of snow over 18 hours and the roads in our area are a horrendous mess and many accidents as the plows could not keep up with it.
I was also going to suggest that only the drive thru would be open. With the Covid19 lock down it would mean no store entries.
ReplyDeleteKeeping the rig's driveway cleared out is a very good idea. It gives one the feeling of being able to go, even if you can't. Immediate freedom sort of thing. Plus you have started it once or twice and therefore it's easier to get into and out of the rig if the snow is cleared away.
Some of our roads look very much like yours. Snow, ice, gravel with a hint of slip, slide and still go straight to them.
I think you're ready for a Hortons coffee. Never know when you might have to get out of town fast!
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding, is this for real? Do you mean to tell us Tim Horton's is finally finished after all these years & actually ready for business?
ReplyDeleteWell, I sure hope you're there when they open up to the first customers so you can snap photos of all the pigs that'll be flying out the doors. That should be quite a sight.
Hope that first cup of coffee goes down well!
