LESS THAN A MINUTE LATER, I WAS OUT OF THE CAR

 A NICE DRIVE THROUGH OUR FORESTED COUNTRYSIDE THIS MORNING

I apologize again for the 'unwanted' links that are now randomly appearing in my blog posts.  I go back, take them out, and retype the words, but the links keep reinserting themselves.  Something 'unwanted' has gotten into my blogging program, and I don't know how to get rid of it.  I am not a happy camper about this!!!!!!!!!  

 A FEW SUN AND CLOUD DAY PICS FROM A FEW DAYS AGO

 COMBINING CORN

THIS FARMER IS ALL SET UP TO DO SOME SERIOUS PLOWING

 HAD MY GOOD FRIEND RICHARD BEEN WITH ME,  HE WOULD HAVE KNOWN THE EXACT YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL OF THIS TRUCK....RICHARD PASSED AWAY THIS PAST MARCH

 ANOTHER OLD AREA BARN IN THE FINAL ERA OF ITS LIFE

Before I forget, don't forget to set your clocks back Saturday night.  And just think, it's only five months before we move those same clocks forward an hour again.  I'm counting the days. And, twenty-three years ago tonight, Kelly and I, with our dog Max, moved from the old Weenie Roast ranch near Fullarton, Ontario, to our present location here in the Bayfield Pines near Bayfield, Ontario.  What exciting and fun times those were for us.

 A FEW MORE PICS OF OUR PARK

Ambling along under partially cloudy skies, on a gravel road southwest of Varna this morning, I spotted something ahead on the road that had a gold color to it.  Less than a minute later, I was out of the car with my white corn pail and a blue plastic shovel.  There were five small corn spills, and I was soon shoveling them into my pail.  It was a bonus find because the corn was dry and not wet from recent rains.  It was the exact same spot where Pheebs and I had scored a big corn dump two years ago at this time.

 DESPITE A CLOUD COVER, GUSTING WINDS, AND COLDER TEMPERATURES, IT WAS A NICE MORNING TO BE OUT AND ABOUT FOR A DRIVE IN A TOASTY WARM CAR FILLED WITH BEAUTIFUL AMBIENT MUSIC......BUT NO PHEEBS:((

  I WAS SURE HAPPY TO FIND THIS CORN SPILL EARLIER TODAY

 I HAD BETTER GET THIS SHOVELLED UP QUICKLY BEFORE ANOTHER CORN HUSTLER COMES ROLLING UP THE ROAD WITH A PAIL AND A A SHOVEL

 I'D BETTER GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE THE FARMER RETURNS LOOKING FOR HIS SPILLED CORN

 COLD AND WINDY

GROANER'S CORNER:(( As my family was leaving Disney World, my daughter waved and said, "Goodbye Minnie!" My son waved and said, "Goodbye Mickey!" I waved and said, "Goodbye money!"
