GEEEEZE, WHOEVER THOUGHT AL WOULD BE CALLING A STIR FRY 'GREAT TASTING' EH

 MY FAVORITE 'SLEEPY HOLLOW' ROAD SOUTHEAST OF VARNA, ONTARIO
With temperatures at 56°F made much colder by strong wind gusts this morning, I decided not to bundle up for my walk, and instead stayed in the car for a slow drive around a few country roads in hopes of maybe spotting a photo or two.  Despite the heavy overcast, I did manage to find a few things.   

GOLDENROD ARE THE PROMINENT FLOWERS IN ROADSIDE DITCHES EACH YEAR AT THIS TIME
 A GAGGLE OF GEESE GLEANING A RECENTLY HARVESTED WHEAT FIELD
 NOTICE HOW GRASS GROWS GREEN IN THE VEHICLE TRACKS OF THIS HARVESTED WHEAT FIELD
 I THINK I'LL CALL THIS, 'APPLE LANE'
 MORNING WIND GUSTS BLOWING A CLUMP OF PAMPAS GRASS
 THEY ARE POURING CONCRETE AT THE BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION SITE BETWEEN VARNA AND BRUCEFIELD
 HOPE THEY'VE GOT ENOUGH WORKERS
 LOOKING EAST TOWARDS BRUCEFIELD
Oooops, I made a wrong assumption in one of my recent posts.  We had popped into the Woodland Drive-In a few days ago for ice cream, but found it closed.  I 'assumed' they had closed for the season.  I was wrong.  Thursday evening, before a walk in Bayfield's cemetery, we noticed cars parked in the Woodland Drive-In.  OMG, could they be open??  After our walk, we popped in, and sure enough, they were open. Two small twist cones please:)) The lady at the window said their new Fall schedule is open from Thursdays to Sundays. Yay team.  Also, another 'Oooops'.  I stated that the grand re-opening of Bayfield's Albion Hotel would be September 26th.  Nope, it's the 27th.  Upon leaving the Woodland Drive-In with ice cream cones in hand, we slipped through Bayfield to a road at the north end of Pioneer Park overlooking Lake Huron.  Took a few sunset photos and headed home.

A few sunsplashes this afternoon were enough to keep me busy outside for a while.  Trimmed back some branches and watered some new grass.  I also roto-tilled up a section of our backyard, raked it out, seeded it, and then watered it.  Even had myself a little backyard campfire going.  I like my little projects, they keep my mind off things.  Woodsy made up a great stir fry on Thursday, and here's what's all in it....Onions, celery, chicken, pork tenderloin, cauliflower, broccoli, mushrooms, bean sprouts, yellow, orange, and red peppers, carrots, and a combination of sauces.  For not being a veggie guy, I had a big huge bowl of this great tasting stir fry:))  Geeeeze, whoever thought Al would be calling a stir fry 'great tasting' eh.

I TILLED AND SEEDED THE AREA TO THE RIGHT, LEAVING A TEMPORARY  PATHWAY ON THE LEFT....WHEN THE GRASS GROWS IN ON THE RIGHT, I WILL TILL THE PATHWAY AND PLANT GRASS SEED THERE AS WELL

GROANER'S CORNER:(( An irate woman burst into the baker's shop and said, " I sent my son in for two pounds of cookies this morning, but when I weighed them, there was only one pound. I suggest that you check your scales." The baker looked at her calmly for a moment or two and then replied, " "Ma'am, I suggest you weigh your son."

- Teacher: Clyde, your composition about “My dog” is exactly like your brothers. Did you copy this? Clyde: No sir. It’s the same dog.

A man asked his doctor if he thought he'd live to be a hundred. The doctor asked the man, "Do you smoke or drink?" "No," he replied, "I've never done either." "Do you gamble, drive fast cars, and fool around with women?" inquired the doctor. "No, I've never done any of those things either."
"Well then," said the doctor, "what do you want to live to be a hundred for?"

  2. A good veggie-filled stir-fry can be so delicious, especially when it also has a nice sprinkling of meat along with it.
