Another orange sunrise, brightly beaming through the pine trees, started my day off on a positive note. It had been a couple of weeks since I last headed out to my country walking road, and with no wind to lower the 31F temps, off I went. How nice to get the legs moving again, breathe in that fresh country air, and have old Sol low enough in the sky to cast my long shadow walking right along beside me.
Home again, I hooked up the utility trailer and loaded up a pile of leaves I had raked up a couple of days ago. To that, I added a bunch of branches from a tree I had cut down a while back. Denway Auto Body called and wondered if I could drop the Subaru off this afternoon so they could begin work on an early rust issue along the top of the driver's door sill. They will do the passenger side as well as a preventive measure. Also, another small rust issue on the driver's side fender above the front wheel. If left unattended, these minor rust spots will, in time, become major rust spots. This 2018 Subaru Forester is a nice car, and I am hoping to keep it that way. Woodsy followed me over to Denway (about a mile and a half away) and then brought me home again. After that, she headed home to Stratford for a couple of days. The Subaru might be ready to be picked up Friday. It was kinda weird tonight looking out the window and seeing an empty carport.

GROANER'S CORNER:(( An old, tired-looking dog wandered into the yard. I could tell from his collar and well-fed belly that he had a home. He followed me into the house, down the hall, and fell asleep on the couch. An hour later, he went to the door, and I let him out. The next day he was back, resumed his position on the couch and slept for an hour. This continued for several weeks. Curious, I pinned a note to his collar: "Every afternoon your dog comes to my house for a nap." The next day, he arrived with a different note pinned to his collar: "He lives in a home with four children -- he's trying to catch up on his sleep. Can I come with him tomorrow?"----------------------------------------

When my three-year-old son opened the birthday gift from his grandmother, he discovered a water pistol. He squealed with delight and headed for the nearest sink. I was not so pleased. I turned to Mom and said, "I'm surprised at you. Don't you remember how we used to drive you crazy with water guns?"
Mom smiled and then replied....."Yes dear, I remember very well."

Tony had just finished reading a new book entitled' You Can Be The Man Of Your House. He stormed into the kitchen and announced, 'From now on, you need to know that I am the man of this house and my word is Law. You will prepare me a gourmet meal tonight, and when I'm finished eating my meal, you will serve me a sumptuous dessert. Afterwards, you are going to draw me a bath so I can relax. You will wash my back and towel me dry, and bring me my robe. Then, you will massage my feet and hands. Then tomorrow, guess who's going to dress me and comb my hair?' His Sicilian wife Gina replied, "The Funeral Director would be my first guess."

The apples still on the tree (in your photo) will be good fodder for the deer, and they will appreciate it. :)
ReplyDeleteGood idea to get the early-rust looked after. Certainly cheaper in the long run. Good for you.
ReplyDeleteThe salting here in Ont sure rusts our cars if we don’t keep on top of it. Looks so strange to see so many apples on a tree with no leaves. Great photos and enjoyed the groaners 🤣
