WE WILL BE UP AND ON THE ROAD EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING

 A NICE MORNING FOR A FOREST WALK

We had Subie's sunroof open before we even left the carport so that tells you what a nice morning we had going on for us.  Kelly had a stack of library books to go back to the Bayfield Library so Pheebs and I had a mission and off we went.

 A DRIVE DOWN BAYFIELD'S MAIN STREET

 A RELAXING MORNING FOR A COUPLE AT SHOPBIKE COFFEE ROASTERS

 AT THE LIBRARY

Having dropped the books off we headed straightaway for the Bayfield Cemetery and took ourselves for a walk in the forest there.  Despite it being warm I was again surprised by no bugs in the air.  Not even one pesky mosquito.

 HEADING INTO THE FOREST

 SUMMER'S TREE CANOPY

 WE STOPPED TO HAVE A LOOK AT THIS INTERESTING STUMP

 A WHOLE COMMUNITY OF TINY MUSHROOMS GROWING HERE

 AS SEEN FROM ABOVE

 I THINK THESE MIGHT BE DONUT MUSHROOMS:))

 EXITING THE FOREST ACROSS THIS MOWED FIELD TO WHERE SUBIE IS BARELY VISIBLE IN THAT LINE OF EVERGREEN TREES AT THE TOP

I had noticed last year that the newer Bayfield water tower was already looking worse for wear and was in need of a good cleaning or a new coat of paint.  This morning I saw a crew doing just that.  Painting the water tower.

I think it was shortly before noon when we lost our sunshine.  Checking the weather site I saw there was a risk of heavy rain and large hail.  Skies darkened but the only thing that happened was that the gloomy-looking day rendered me unconscious in my sunroom recliner for about an hour and a half.  I didn't even get past the first couple of paragraphs in my Kindle reader......Later, a few peels of thunder heralded a small fast-moving storm cell that dropped a mild shower on us and kept on going.           

 NO POINT IN STANDING UP TO EAT BREAKFAST WHEN YOU CAN LIE DOWN TO EAT BREAKFAST

We will be up with the chickens early Wednesday morning and off to London's University Hospital.  Pheebs and I will be dropping Kelly off there and then turning around and heading home.

 A COLORFUL HYDRANGEA BUSH AT A FRIEND'S HOUSE

GROANER'S CORNER:((  A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost.  She reduced altitude and spotted a man below. She descended a bit more and shouted: 'Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago but I don't know where I am..'  The man below replied, 'You're in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You're between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude.'  'You must be an Engineer,' said the balloonist.  'I am,' replied the man, 'how did you know?'  'Well,' answered the balloonist, 'everything you have told me is probably technically correct, but I've no idea what to make of your information and the fact is, I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help at all. If anything, you've delayed my trip by your talk.'  The man below responded, 'You must be in Management.'  'I am,' replied the balloonist, 'but how did you know?'  'Well,' said the man, 'you don't know where you are or where you're going. You have risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise, which you've no idea how to keep, and you expect people beneath you to solve your problems. The fact is you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, it's my fault.'
