Probably one of the nicest late October days I have ever seen as we blew right past 70F about mid-afternoon. Sunny with big white puffy clouds and a wonderful warm breeze. If only, if only, it could simply stay like this my weather complaining days would be over forever. However, we are already under a severe storm watch with tornado warnings issued as a massive cold front stretching from southeast Texas to Labrador here in Canada is steamrolling right for us. As I type this, winds are really picking up and our radar shows the storm front rolling over Michigan and about to start across the lake.  |
| HEADING EAST OUT OF OUR PARK INTO THE MORNING'S SUNRISE |
Pheebs and I were able to wander around this morning with no heater on and both front windows in the Jeep down. Took us for a walk south of Varna at Kerr's Campground. I noticed they are expanding their RV lots. I think this is one of the most scenic hidden gem rural RV Parks in our area. Lots of countryside walking room close by.

| KERR'S CAMPGROUND POND |
 |
| SAW A SMALL FLOCK OF CANADA GEESE COMING IN OVER THE TREES |
 |
| THEY SOON HAD THEIR LANDING GEAR DOWN |
 |
| SECONDS LATER THEY WERE SERENELY ON THE POND |
 |
| IF I WAS EVER FORCED TO SPEND TIME IN AN RV CAMPGROUND IN OUR AREA I WOULD PICK THIS ONE |
 |
| SOME NEW FENCING AT THE CAMPGROUND |
Made the mistake of trying to winterize our Winnie-Spirit this afternoon. I had the coach manual but the water line pictures didn't match up with the model we have. So what else is new!! I have zero patience for things like this and it was always one of the big reasons I liked to head south each year before we had our first major freeze-up.

| NEW RV SITES GOING IN |
 |
| A VERY SPACIOUS COUNTRY CAMPGROUND |
 |
| HEARING A BUNCH OF SQUAWKING BEHIND ME I TURNED AND GOT THESE PHOTOS OF THE CANADA GEESE TAKING OFF |
 |
| LUCKILY ONLY TWO PEOPLE AHEAD OF ME |
 |
| A SPECTACULAR EASTERN SKY ON MY WAY HOME FROM GODERICH THIS AFTERNOON |
 |
| DID YOU SEE THE TWO CLOUD LOVERS SMOOCHING? |
 |
| LESS THAN TWO HOURS LATER THIS WAS THE SKY OVER TOP OUR HOUSE AS THE STORM ROLLED OVER US |
The fastmoving storm hit us around 5 o'clock with wind, thunder, lightning, and rain with maybe a bit of hail mixed in. Because of its speed, it rolled over us fast and had blown through in about 10 minutes. Temps dropped, winds dissipated to a dead calm and I caught a glimpse of sunshine to the west. Richard and Gayle weren't so lucky on a trip to the Bruce Peninsula. They lost the awning on their Motorhome. |
| AN OLD STUMP IN THE WOODS |
 |
| A QUIET AFTERNOON WALK |
 |
| A COLORFUL FOREST FLOOR |
Nice warm afternoon walk with Pheebs back through the forest. I tried to take in as much of our surrounding colors as I could because all that beautiful Autumn color will soon be gone for another year. |
| I WAS SURPRISED TO FIRST HEAR THEN SEE A PAIR OF ROBINS AT KERR'S CAMPGROUND THIS MORNING |
GROANER'S CORNER:(( A screaming, yelling mob were tearing up the Street. A policeman stops one runner, and asks, "What's happening?" "A lion has escaped," he gasps. "Which way did it go?" enquires the policeman. "Well we're certainly not bloody well chasing it!!!!"-----------------------------
Why did the bald man paint rabbits on his head?
Because from a distance they looked like hares!
