THAT'S ALRIGHT, I WAS WALKING A LITTLE SLOW MYSELF

 PHEEBS CHECKS OUT A BEANFIELD THIS MORNING
Pheebs and I wrapped ourselves up in another beautiful early September morning and headed East down Bayfield River Road to Parr line.  We then made our way southeast to the Bannockburn Line and slowly followed it to its southern end at Centennial Road taking a few pics along the way.  

 LATTICE WORK SHADOWS ON SUBI EARLIER TODAY 
 A FEW PICS OF SHADOW AND LIGHT ALONGSIDE THE ROAD

 SPIDER WEBS??  NOPE, TENT CATERPILLARS
We crossed Centennial Road and went past Kerr's Campground on the right.  This narrow dirt road was probably an old farm lane years ago and about a quarter mile in there is a place to park.  Pheebs and I have been quietly walking here for years.  No trails, just the old road itself.  Because of our cool nights, I figured flying insects wouldn't be a problem, and they weren't.
PARKED THE CAR AND HEADED DOWN THE ROAD
FOLLOW ME DAD...I KNOW THE WAY 
 I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE PHEEBS GO AROUND THE WATER PUDDLE INSTEAD OF THROUGH IT

AUTUMN'S GOLD AND PURPLE COLORS
Pheebs did good this morning and again she was all over the place checking things out.  She was a little slow walking back to the car but that's alright, I was walking a little slow myself.  These are very precious days now with Pheebs.

 LOOKING BACK TOWARDS THE CAR
 AGAIN I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE PHEEBS GO AROUND THE WATER PUDDLE
I was able to accomplish a few outside things again before the humidity settled in and began sticking my shirt to me.  With the leaf blower, I blew out the carport, front deck, and porch.  Moved a suet feeder and topped up two bird feeders.  Cleaned a couple sunroom windows and with an electric hedge trimmer I cut down a bunch of vines on our metal shed.  And, I've removed some of the stone dust in front of the sunroom which I had put down in the Spring.  I'm going to work that soil up and plant grass there again.  And, I'm still contemplating what to do about the front yard frog pond.  Regardless of what I decide, I'll still have to begin my annual frog round-up soon.  I know for sure I have over a dozen little froggy guys out there calling our front yard......home:))

 HEADING HOME PAST ONE OF THE LARGER TREES IN THE AREA

Kelly's blood results are in and as expected, some are okay and some are not.  Here are the three bad ones.  The Bilirubin Test numbers should be no higher than 21 and Kelly's is 93. The Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) number should be between 35 to 104.  Kelly's number is 827.  ALP is linked to injury of the bile ducts.  The Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) should be 33 and Kelly's number is 146.  All three of these tests are in Canadian numbers.

 ONE OF OUR FAVORITE ROADS

Al's Music Box:)) Devoted To You is a song written by Felice and Boudleaux Bryant.  The best-known recording was by The Everly Brothers, released by Cadence Records. This version was issued as the flip side of "Bird Dog," but reached the charts on its own, at No. 10 on the United States pop charts, No. 25 in Australia, and No. 1 in Canada. In addition, the song reached No. 7 on the United States country music chart and No. 2 on the Rhythm and Blues chart.  

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A very successful businessman had a meeting with his new son-in-law. I welcome you into the family,” said the man. “To show you how much we care for you, I am making you a 50-50 partner in my business. All you have to do is go to the factory every day and learn the operation.”  The son-in-law interrupted. “I hate factories. I can’t stand the noise.” “I see.” replied the father-in-law, “Well, then you’ll work in the office and take charge of some of the operations.” “I hate office work,” said the son-in-law. “I can’t stand being stuck behind a desk.” “Wait a minute,” said the father-in-law. “I just made you half-owner of a money-making industry, but you don’t like factories, and won’t work in an office. What am I going to do with you?” “Easy,” said the son-in-law. “Buy me out.”

Throw it in water. If it sinks, it’s a girl ant, but if it floats…

  4. Good positive thoughts passed to Kelly. I hope she gets that transplant soon, whatever it takes. You and Pheebs have some great roads that you can walk. She is a really good dog and I always enjoy seeing photos of her.

  5. I thought I’d read a number of times you saying Pheebs dislikes water… I’m sure you treasure your days with her.

  6. Yes, that is true. Pheebs does not like water but often as not she will walk right straight through a water puddle. I guess she somehow knows its shallow.
