HEY, WAIT A MINUTE, MAYBE IT WAS LAST WEEK

 WHILE ON A TUESDAY EVENING WALK, WE NOTICED A FULL TILT FARMING OPERATION  UNDERWAY

To justify yet another ice cream night, we figured some extra exercise was in order, so after posting the blog, Woodsy and I headed off out into the countryside to my favorite walking spot.  Farmers were busy in the fields, hurrying to get a crop in (possibly alfalfa) before wet weather rolls into the area.  

 BORN AND RAISED ON A FARM NEAR MILVERTON, ONTARIO, LORRAINE SAID SHE HAD NEVER SEEN A HAY RAKE THIS WIDE....ME NEITHER

 THIS WAS A FINE EXAMPLE OF TEAMWORK

 THE LOADED WAGON PULLS AWAY FROM THE COMBINE

 THE LOADED WAGON AT LEFT HEADS OUT OF THE FIELD, WHILE THE EMPTY WAGON ON THE RIGHT SWINGS AROUND TO PULL UP ALONGSIDE THE COMBINE

THE COMBINE, NOT MISSING A BEAT, BEGINS FILLING THE EMPTY WAGON AS THEY BOTH HEAD ON DOWN THE FIELD DRIVING IN UNISON

 ON OUR STIRLING LINE EVENING WALK, WOODSY MADE THIS LITTLE BOUQUET OF FLOWERS FROM ROADSIDE CLOVER AND DAISIES

From there, it was into Bayfield to catch the Woodland Drive-In before it closed at eight.  Made it in time, and with ice cream cones in hand, we slipped through Bayfield on our way to the beach.  Sticking with the ice cream exercise routine, we again strolled out to the end of Bayfield's south pier.  Another fine sunset.

 SAW THESE THREE LADIES SITTING ON THE PIER ENJOYING THE EVENING...AND DID YOU NOTICE THE DOG

SAW THIS BOAT HEADING UP THE BAYFIELD RIVER, AND I FIGURE IT WAS MAYBE A TRAINING EXERCISE

 SAW THESE THREE GALS PADDLING ON LAKE HURON....MAYBE THEY PADDLED ACROSS THE LAKE FROM MICHIGAN EH:))

 THE GALS ARE STILL PADDLING TOWARD THE PIER

 HEADING OUT FOR A SUNSET CRUISE

 OBVIOUSLY A HAPPY BOATER

 AND THERE HE GOES

 WELCOME TO CANADA

 THE PADDLERS ARE HEADING UP THE BAYFIELD RIVER

 ANOTHER BOAT HEADS OUT FOR A SUNSET CRUISE

I don't know which decade it was that I last stayed in my pajamas well past noon, but the memory of it,  oh so long ago, has been lost to the mists of time.   Hey, wait a minute, maybe it was last week.  (I did finally get out of my pajamas at 3:14 this afternoon and slipped into some shorts)

 FRONT YARD FROGGIES HANGING OUT AROUND OUR POND

The numbers are in from last Saturday's Vettefest in Bayfield, and there were far more Corvettes in town than I had figured.  With 410 Corvettes registered, 174 of them participated in the popular Friday night cruise.  Attendance records were shattered. 

 AT BAYFIELD'S BEACH, COULD THIS BE LAKE HURON'S LOCH NESS MONSTER

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A cowboy rode into town and stopped at a saloon for a drink. Unfortunately, the locals always had a habit of picking on strangers, which he was. When he finished his drink, he found his horse had been stolen.  He goes back into the bar, handily flips his gun into the air, catches it above his head without even looking and fires a shot into the ceiling.  
"Which one of you sidewinders stole my horse"?" he yelled with surprising forcefulness. No one answered. "All right, I'm gonna have another beer, and if my Hoss ain't back outside by the time I finish.  I'm gonna do what I done in Texas!" Some of the locals shifted restlessly. He had another beer, walked outside, and his horse is back! He saddles up and starts to ride out of town. The bartender wanders out of the bar and asks, "Say partner, before you go...what happened in Texas?" The cowboy turned back and said, "I had to walk home."

As the storm raged, the captain realized his ship was sinking fast. He called out, "Anyone here know how to pray?" One man stepped forward. "Aye, Captain, I know how to pray.""Good," said the captain, "You pray while the rest of us put on our life jackets.  We're one short."
