MAY THEY NEVER CEASE

 ALTHOUGH THE BREAKWATER ALONGSIDE BAYFIELD'S BEACH IS COMPLETE, I THINK THERE IS A SECOND BREAKWATER PROJECT GOING ON FURTHER SOUTH ABOUT HALF A MILE DOWN ALONG THE LAKE HURON SHORELINE

It was 7:30 Monday night in freezing cold temperatures that I cranked up the Subaru and off out into the countryside I did go to have a look at the big bright cheesy colored Moon.  Despite all the 'red moon' hype, I knew it wouldn't be red and that was quite alright with me.  It was just nice to be out for a drive in the moonlight again with soft ambient music on the radio, warm and toasty in the car, and moonbeams dancing off the snow covered farmers' fields, and snowbanks alongside the road.  These lone night drives of mine under starry skies are my alone time, my 'all is well' time, and my happy time. May they never cease.

WOODSY, ON THE EXERCISE BIKE BEHIND ME SNAPPED THIS PIC OF ME AT THE SUNROOM'S DESKTOP COMPUTER ONE NIGHT LAST WEEK

 ALSO UNBEKNOWNST TO ME SHE TOOK THIS PHOTO AT BAYFIELD'S PIONEER PARK OF ME TAKING A PHOTO OF A SUNSET LAST WEEK

A short cold morning drive into Bayfield and back but hey, it wasn't snowing, and by the time I got home, our temps were finally on the uptick and had reached the freezing mark.  Looks like the predicted 40 and 50F temperatures are finally here.  At least for the next week, they say.  We topped out at 39F today:))

 LAKE HURON'S ICE IS DISAPPEARING FAST NOW

 THIS MACHINE IS CARRYING A LARGE BOULDER SOUTH ALONG THE SHORELINE TO ANOTHER PROJECT

I busied myself Monday morning in a long-overdue overhaul of our sunroom.  In came my ten-foot stepladder and up I went with my duster to do battle with all the cobwebs.  Not only that, I took down all the wall and ceiling hangings.  Things that have been on the walls for years and years.  A couple of my old dust laden cowboy hats came down, as did all the southwest paraphernalia.  Lots of good old adventuress RVing travel memories.  Not tossing all that stuff out, just taking it down to store it for now, and probably dispense with some of it at a later date.  And, as soon as the weather warms up, and just like last year, there will be another massive Spring clean-up going on here.  Inside and outside.

 I HAVE STRIPPED THE WALLS OF ALL HANGING SOUTHWEST STUFF

 I AM ALREADY CHOMPING AT THE BIT TO GET INTO THIS SHED AND GET THIS WINTER'S MESS SORTED OUT

 WHEN I OPENED THIS SHED DOOR, I WAS CONVINCED A HERD OF WATER BUFFALO HAD SPENT THE WINTER IN HERE

 I FIGURE THIS ICY SNOW LADEN OVERHANG WILL SLIDE OFF THE CARPORT'S ROOF OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS

 NICE TO SEE THE FRONT PORCH AND DECK FREE OF ICE AND SNOW AGAIN

 GOT ALL OF THE ICE, SNOW, AND SLUSH OUT OF THE CARPORT AND YES, THAT IS SUNSHINE BEAMING IN THERE

LOTS OF LITTLE CRITTER TRACKS IN OUR ICY DRIVEWAY THIS MORNING BUT I DIDN'T SEE ANY WATER BUFFALO TRACKS

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A Texan was taking a taxi tour of London and was in a hurry. As they went by the Tower of London the cab driver explained what it was and that construction of it started in 1346 and was completed in 1412. The Texan replied, "Shoot, a little old tower like that? In Houston we'd have that thing up in two weeks!" Next they passed the House of Parliament - started in 1544 and completed in 1618. "Well boy, we put up a bigger one than that in Dallas and it only took a year!" As they passed Westminster Abbey the cab driver was silent. "Whoah! What's that over there?" asked the Texan. The driver replied, "I don't know, it wasn't there yesterday."

Morton was reading the paper after breakfast when he came across an article about a beautiful actress who was about to marry a football player known primarily for his lack of IQ and common sense. He turned to his wife with a questioning look on his face and said: "I'll never understand why the biggest jerks get the most attractive wives." His wife smiled and replied: "Why thank you, dear!"
