PHEEBS AND I HAD AN RV TO GO LOOK AT THIS MORNING

My friend Jim from Lifetime Sentences sent me a note saying he had noticed an RV for sale at a farm property east of Mitchell Ontario so that meant Pheebs and I had a destination this morning:))

JUST A BEAUTIFUL OCTOBER MORNING FOR A DRIVE THROUGH THE COUNTRYSIDE

Another superb Autumn morning to be out and about in the countryside again taking in all the glorious scenery along the back roads to Mitchell.  We located the RV which was a nice looking Class BTouring Cruiser but it's a bit longer than what we are looking for and I could tell it's on the newer side so knew it was way more money than we were willing to spend.  If we were just beginning our RV travels we certainly would have seriously considered it but where we are now close to the end of our travels we just don't want to invest a ton of money in an RV when we are unsure of the future and how often we could use it.

CLOSE TO WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR BUT NOT QUITE

I knew of a nice area west of Mitchell for a forest walk so Pheebs and I headed to the spot.  Had been nearly forty years since I last walked the trails through this forest so off we went.  The trails are on private property and haven't been maintained well so I had to pay particular attention to where we were in order to find our way back to the Jeep.  As expected the trail became blocked at one point so we had to take a short cut through the thick forest back to the road.

PARKED ALONGSIDE A TRAILHEAD FOR A WALK IN THE FOREST

IT'S BEEN NEARLY FORTY YEARS SINCE I LAST WALKED THIS TRAIL EAST OF MITCHELL

FORESTS ARE MAGICAL PLACES

IT WAS ABOUT HERE WHERE WE LOST THE TRAIL

'I THINK WE GO THIS WAY DAD'

WE'RE ALMOST OUT OF THE FOREST

YUP THERE'S THE JEEP 

Heading home we slowly plodded along taking in all of Autumn's beauty along the way.  Multiple shades of red, yellow, auburn, orange, burgundy and green.  What a beautiful time of year this always is and how fortunate we are to be here to enjoy it. 

I can tell Pheebs is missing Kelly.  She's just not quite herself and she is sticking to me like glue.  And she's been needing more snuggles.  

LOOKS LIKE THE CORN HARVEST HAS BEGUN IN THIS FIELD

NO HARVESTING IN THIS CORN FIELD YET

A COUPLE FARM LANEWAYS ABOVE AND BELOW WITH RED MAPLES ALONG THEIR DRIVEWAYS

THIS IS MY IDEA OF COUNTRY LIVING

HEADING HOME THIS MORNING

GROANER'S CORNER:((   The sheriff pulled up next to the guy unloading garbage out of his Class C motorhome into the ditch in Kentucky. The sheriff asked, "Why are you dumping garbage in the ditch? Don't you see that sign right over your head".  "Yep", he replied. 'That's why I dumping it here, 'cause it says 'Fine For Dumping Garbage'".

Little Johnny and his family were having Sunday dinner at his Grandmother' s house.
Everyone was seated around the table as the food was being served.
When little Johnny received his plate, he started eating right away.
"Johnny wait until we say our prayer."
"I don't have to," The boy replied.
"Of course, you do," his mother insisted. "We say a prayer, before eating, at our house."
"That's our house," Johnny explained. "But this is Grandma's house and she knows how to cook."
