SPENT NEARLY AN HOUR WATCHING THE CLOUDS GO BY

This recent seasonal time change sure has me messed up with the clocks being turned back an hour a few days ago.  It sure seems to make for longer days, waking up at 6:30 a.m. instead of 7:30 a.m.  I had a hard time staying awake last Sunday night to watch my 'Secret of Skinwalker Ranch' show.  What the heck is in that darn Mesa eh!!

 NO, THIS IS NOT FLORIDA....IT IS OUR BAYFIELD PINES PARK

Tuesday - Happy to say I finally made it out for my morning country road walk after nearly a week.  A stiff cold northwesterly wind found me bundled up warm as I briskly covered my quarter mile up the road and my quarter mile back. Walking in cold air has never been one of my favorite things to do.  Luckily, the sun was out, and that inspired me to keep on walking.  A short country road drive didn't find me any corn spills, and I was soon home again.  Aside from raking up some leaves late this morning, my day just kind of ran out of gas.  I opted to spend most of it inside, where it was warm and cozy.

Wednesday - To Goderich and back this morning.  What a dark, rainy, cold, and windy day this turned out to be.  Very depressing to say the least.  I've always thought of November as the most mentally challenging month of the year.  And, especially so this November, as I remember back to a year ago at this time, when Kelly was so sick.  At this time last year, unbeknownst to us, Kelly had less than six weeks to live.  It was a very difficult and sad time for us as she struggled so courageously against the overpowering liver disease that was to take her life from her.  It was a very sad period of time, and I have to keep my mind focused on the now and not what was happening a year ago now.  The next six weeks will be difficult.

Tuesday night I decided to head out and see if I could find the big Moon.  Skies had been partially clear, but by the time I arrived at my night viewing spot on TowerLinel Road, a heavily patterned cloud cover had moved in.  No matter, I just put my seat back, turned up my warm ambient music, and spent nearly an hour watching the clouds go by.  I needed that........   

 STRANGELY PATTERNED CLOUDS BLOCK OUT THE BRIGHTEST MOON OF THE YEAR AND GIVE AN EERIE FEELING TO THE NIGHT

GROANER'S CORNER:(( One day St. Peter saw a street gang walking up to the Pearly Gates.  St. Peter ran to God and said, "God, there are some low-life street gang members at the Gates. What do I do?"  God replied, "Just do what you normally do with that type. Redirect them."  St. Peter went back to carry out the order, but he suddenly came running back and yelling, "God, God, they're gone! They're gone!"  "The street gang?"  "No, the Pearly Gates!
