EXETER'S MACNAUGHTON PARK AND NATURE TRAIL

 MACNAUGHTON PARK, EXETER ONTARIO

A chilly west wind blowing our 48F temps around this morning had me donning a nylon jacket over my two shirts for our country road walk.  All three of us in the Subaru later headed to Exeter Ontario for Kelly's 10:30 dental appointment. (teeth cleaning)  It's 22 miles to Exeter.  Dropping Kelly off, Pheebs and slipped over to the nearby MacNaughton Park and Nature Trail area and had ourselves a second morning walk. Today we followed the trail on the north side of the river.  A few days ago when there we followed the southside trail that began with a boardwalk.  We spent half an hour on the trail before returning to the car and heading back to the Dental Clinic.  Kelly was finished about 11:30 and we were soon on our way home.  With a light cloud cover overhead and a cool wind, it still turned out to be a very doable day. So, after arriving home and feeling a bit on the tired side I sank into my sunroom recliner, propped my Kindle against a small lap pillow.......and fell asleep.  In the morning we will be on the road again.

 INSTEAD OF RE-WALKING THE BOARDWALK TRAIL WE CROSSED THE RIVER TO THE NORTH SIDE AND PICKED UP THE TRAIL THERE WHICH CAN BE SEEN AT THE TOP LEFT THROUGH THE TREES

 THIS IS A STEEPLY ARCHED STEEL AND CONCRETE BRIDGE OVER THE RIVER

 IT LOOKS LIKE A FEW LOOSE GOOSE FEATHERS HERE

GROANER'S CORNER:(( Advice from An Old Hillbilly:

Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight and bull-strong.

Keep skunks, bankers, and politicians at a distance.

Life is simpler when you plow around the stump.

A bumble bee is considerably faster than a John Deere tractor.

Words that soak into your ears are whispered, not yelled.

The best sermons are lived, not preached.

Forgive your enemies; it's what GOD says to do.

If you don't take the time to do it right, you'll find the time to do it twice.

Don't corner something that is meaner than you.

Don’t pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he’ll just kill you.

It don’t take a very big person to carry a grudge.

You cannot unsay a cruel word.

Every path has a few puddles.

When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty.

Don't be banging your shin on a stool that's not in the way.

Borrowing trouble from the future doesn't deplete the supply.

Most of the stuff people worry about ain’t never gonna happen anyway.

Don’t judge folks by their relatives.

Silence is sometimes the best answer.

Don‘t interfere with somethin’ that ain’t botherin' you none.

Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.

If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin’.

Sometimes you get, and sometimes you get got.

The biggest troublemaker you’ll ever have to deal with watches you from the mirror every mornin’.

Always drink upstream from the herd.

Good judgment comes from experience, and most of that comes from bad judgment.

Lettin’ the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin’ it back in.

If you get to thinkin’ you’re a person of some influence, try orderin’ somebody else’s dog around.

Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you’ll enjoy it a second time.

Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.

Most times, it just gets down to common sense.
