A friend ( Here you go Doug!) recently asked me about starting up my blog again. It has been on my mind to write a post for awhile.

She lives in a small apartment in a retirement community and loves it. She turned 88 years old this year. She had a health scare a couple months ago. Sickest I have ever known her to be in all my life. We all were very worried but she pulled through. Still very crisp and loves to hear what we all are doing. </p><p>Chuck still continues to work full time as an electrician. 62 this year so his time at work is ending soon. As it stands right now he will retire in August of next year.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil222o0epN3nkF_yONnaoNS4xFNf6l9trgVp07Z9woO_-QMiF19eIV75GBBU1LLW7GmwUMeAIyWpSay0sOIYmhxNC1Tp3n_bzK4PdaOAJr6oWKcGnF8wIy3lUj1VLw24jIJVwIaLM9_hHONshDtH79T7__E1zlC1P5OiPo-qtNqZ-WX7xcrNUuogZL2w/s640/IMG_3825.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="518" data-original-width="640" height="516" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEil222o0epN3nkF_yONnaoNS4xFNf6l9trgVp07Z9woO_-QMiF19eIV75GBBU1LLW7GmwUMeAIyWpSay0sOIYmhxNC1Tp3n_bzK4PdaOAJr6oWKcGnF8wIy3lUj1VLw24jIJVwIaLM9_hHONshDtH79T7__E1zlC1P5OiPo-qtNqZ-WX7xcrNUuogZL2w/w640-h516/IMG_3825.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><p>I am fine, still enjoying our new life.

Smokey has been gone since October of 2018. That was hard. Sweet Pea moved away with his family last September. As I write this Snowball is crashed on his blanket on our front porch. Punkin still comes around occasionally, he seems to have a family now. A new cat Spot has joined the crew and comes every morning for breakfast. Miss Kitty became a member of our family a couple years ago. She adjusted very well to living (mostly) inside and isn't spoiled rotten one bit.😁 </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgptIFSZoWOBSSYNmuAHNG-5l3q9mOHxhD9wVyEyU9-V1iDJ0i9reFteM9Spg97-zJRaZS2EJe_a_vvKt92u4oA8gJL-UhiJYWeuRf7yHSfesgkiEvi8RScjblVdyDcNZj7dmD76BFlsAFFAIS0pFmnwZ42auB7YWVJOWJnxSO5Hd-aeU8Kl5wlqItJqw/s5184/fullsizeoutput_18a7.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3888" data-original-width="5184" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgptIFSZoWOBSSYNmuAHNG-5l3q9mOHxhD9wVyEyU9-V1iDJ0i9reFteM9Spg97-zJRaZS2EJe_a_vvKt92u4oA8gJL-UhiJYWeuRf7yHSfesgkiEvi8RScjblVdyDcNZj7dmD76BFlsAFFAIS0pFmnwZ42auB7YWVJOWJnxSO5Hd-aeU8Kl5wlqItJqw/w640-h480/fullsizeoutput_18a7.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div>Miss Kitty</div><div><br /></div><div>I continue to enjoy getting out and taking photos.

Miss Kitty and Smokey are still around. Most of the other strays seemed to have disappeared. Ralph and Cortese come by occasionally but we haven't seen Snowball since last Fall.<br />

I want to thank everyone for reading and commenting on my blog over the last few years. You all have been so kind. But I am now done with the blog. Not an easy thing to say and I will miss all of you. I will be around to visit your blogs.<br />
Take care and have a wonderful life.<br />

Yesterday we headed out for the day. After visiting the <a href="http://oronoantiquemarket.ca/">Orono Antique Market</a> and a couple other antique stores we popped over to <a href="http://visitorono.com/">Orono Park</a> (also known as Buttercup Hollow) for lunch. I had packed a picnic lunch which we enjoyed beside Orono Creek. The park is nearly 100 years old and is just beautiful no matter what time of year..<br />

The old water tower in the park. This area originally was a tree nursery and this tower was needed to supply water for the trees. It was declared a historical structure so can not be torn down.<br />

The first thing that greeted me was starlings chattering along with a few red winged blackbirds trilling( ? I don't know if that is the right word!) This is the earliest I have heard red winged blackbirds. They were perched in a grove of pine and cedar trees so I couldn't get a photo. Is this contraption something for grain or corn??<br />

This morning a very soggy blue jay.<br />
After today's rain we are in for a great week. This is Chuck's last week off so we will be enjoying as much time as possible outside.<br />
Hope you are enjoying some good weather too.<br />
Take care.<br />

One very cold day we popped down to Cobourg and walked on the beach. It was beautiful! We were able to walk out on the ice a bit and get a few photos. Only one mishap (I stepped down into what I thought was solid snow, it wasn't) where Chuck had to haul me out of the snow!<br />

Miss Kitty is as beautiful as ever. When I was young I was allergic to all animals. This past six months or so my allergies have flared up. I can't / shouldn't touch the kitties but it is very hard not to!<br />

Proctor House Museum in the fog on Friday. It was in the 50's that day but by nightfall it had gotten quite cold. We had a flash freeze. No fun driving or walking!<br />
<br />
That pretty well has been my month. Chuck is taking some well deserved time off shortly which we are very much looking forward to. No getting up at 5:30 for awhile!<br />
<br />
Hope you all are well.<br />
Take care.<br />

Life has slowed down with the colder weather around our home. Last Winter Chuck just worked a day and a half a week and the Winter before he was off. Now with him back working full-time (hopefully the last Winter he will be!) the days just seem to speed by.<br />

The squirrels are already feasting on the bittersweet berries.<br />
<br />
Nothing exciting going on here. Chuck has been on call all this past week so we have to stick close to home.<br />
How many months until April????<br />
<br />
Have a good week!<br />

Hi all! I have been away from the blog for a time because Chuck wiped my computer clean and installed a new operating system. It is a bit different then the old one but I quite like it.<br />
We have been blessed with THREE sunny days in a row. I am taking advantage of the great weather and cleaning out the gardens. I always have kitty company and Monday was a busy one. Ralph hung around for most of the afternoon with Miss Kitty and Snowball putting in appearances from time to time. Ralph had spotted a squirrel in the neighbours yard and was stalking it. The squirrel knew he was there and was watching. What Ralph didn't know was Miss Kitty was right behind him.<br />

Here you can see Ralph on the left side watching the squirrel shoot up the tree. Miss Kitty is stretched right out running at Ralph.<br />

Totally blurry because I was laughing and trying to take a photo! Miss Kitty treats Ralph like an annoying little brother. Nothing vicious in their fighting, Miss Kitty could really clean Ralph's clock if she wanted too.<br />

Snowball stayed out of the horsing around and looked handsome on the front steps.<br />
A few minutes later they were back!<br />

This poor squirrel showed up on Monday. He walked very slowly to the feeders. I dashed out with some peanuts and he didn't even move away. I was able to put them right in front of him. He ate for 10 minutes or so and then seemed to perk up. He doesn't look too healthy.<br />

Hope everyone is having a good week. I was just getting my lunch ready today when I saw a flash of blue out by the feeders. A Bluejay! With the return of cooler weather more birds are coming back to eat. I saw my first Junco this morning. Anyway, my new camera was upstairs and knowing how flitty a Bluejay can be I grabbed my old camera (always in the kitchen) and dashed to the window.<br />

I had sprinkled out pumpkin seeds and dried cranberries about a half hour before. Well, it paid off! Many critters were out there enjoying them and the sunflower seeds I had put out in the feeders yesterday.<br />

The Bluejay posed nicely for quite a few photos. It was watching the squirrel down below snacking on pumpkin seeds.<br />

It finally managed to grab a pumpkin seed and flew up into a tree to enjoy it. I snapped a number of photos and looked at the clock. Thirty minutes had gone by!<br />

This was last night's sunset. I was getting in the wash and turned to look over my shoulder. I couldn't believe my eyes. I flung the wash in the baskets and raced upstairs to look out my computer room window. Luckily that is where I usually keep my new camera so out it came. I haven't adjusted the colour, this is what it looked like.<br />

Poor old Punkin. He looks little worse for wear but much improved from a few months ago. He is back to coming every day and enjoys a cuddle along with a meal.<br />

Our wonderful neighbour Merv left me these hydrangeas on the weekend. We came home to find them tucked in behind a pumpkin.<br />
<br />
We visited Mum on Sunday. So wonderful to see her. This Thursday would have been my parent's 60th wedding anniversary. We brought Mum a bouquet of flowers. My brother and sister NEVER remember their anniversary even when my Dad was alive. That does really bother me so I try to make up for it. Mum is getting a little more forgetful but loves to chat about current events and the latest family news.<br />
<br />
The Fall colours here this year are very subdued. With our wacky weather the past six months it doesn't surprise me.<br />
<br />
I hope you have a wonderful week!<br />
Take care.<br />

On to the next adventure! Chuck and I had a short vacation in Niagara-on-the- Lake this past week. As we were driving to our Inn we came across a great Halloween display. There were a few old ( 1920's to 1930's) cars for sale and the seller had skeletons in them.<br />

When my Dad passed away 8 years ago my Mum gave each (my brother, sister and I) of us a small container of his ashes. I thought it was time to let them go so Chuck and I went down to the beach at the end of my parent's old street. Dad and I loved to walk there. We were bending down to sprinkle the ashes on the sand when a GIANT wave soaked us. My Dad loved to joke around and would squirt you if he had a hose in his hand. So Dad had the last laugh and we were laughing as we watched his ashes drift out into the Lake.<br />

Did you see the movie "Dead Zone"? Much of it was shot in Niagara-on-the-Lake (NOTL). Some scenes were shot here in this park. A gazebo was specially built by the movie crew and afterwards was left up as a thank you to the town. But over time it deteriorated and recently an exact replica was built in it's place.<br />
In one scene an actor is standing in the same spot as Chuck is.<br />

You can't visit NOTL without stopping at Greaves Jam. I have eaten this jam my whole life. We purchased a few jars and got some gifts for Janice who was looking after the house and kitties.<br />

This was where we stayed for a few days, The Post House. Situated on a back street it was built in 1835 and operated as a post office until I think the 1850's. It was wonderful. Lovely room, incredible hosts who kept us well fed and couldn't do enough for us. Unfortunately the interior burnt sometime in the 1990's and only the outer shell was left. But the inside was rebuilt with all period items from all over the world.<br />
<br />
I hope you are enjoying some wonderful Fall weather. As I type this it is pouring rain but we are to have a sunny, mild week.<br />
<br />
Take care!<br />

UPDATE---- I put up posters with Snowballs photo on and I heard from a lady this morning. He (we thought it was a she!!! Hard to tell with all the fluff) is owned and just likes to wander. IMO I think it is crazy to let him out!

No big pieces of driftwood for me to drag home.<br />
This poor Monarch definitely looked a little worse for wear. While Kim was having a little paddle in the Lake I crouched down beside it and it ran over to me. I held him on my finger for a minute or two and then put him down. Quite a feeling to hold a butterfly!<br />

Wednesday morning dawned cloudy with the threat of rain. NOTHING was going to stop us! I wanted to show Kim the abandoned house Chuck and I discovered a few weeks ago. This time I wore proper shoes! No worries about ticks. We parked down a bit from the house and checked out the barn first. Obviously it is being used for storage now. There were no "No Trespassing" signs anywhere!<br />

We climbed up onto a ridge overlooking the property. It was beautiful. It was rather windy and all you could hear was crickets. Grasshoppers hopped out of our way as we walked through the grass.<br />

We hopped back in the car and proceeded down to the house. I'd never been around back. When Chuck and I were there a few weeks ago I only had sandals on so couldn't go thru the grass. This I believe is the oldest part of the house built before 1899.<br />

As we came around the front I spotted this painted on the siding. Cedar Creek Cheese Factory! Looking online there isn't much information about it. Here is part of a couple paragraphs I found-<br />
<br />
"The original building is believed to have been built before 1899 and later remodelled for the purpose of cheese making. Hydro was installed in 1930 and Sam and Margaret Hobbs purchased the factory in 1941."<br />
<br />
I found a photograph in a newspaper from the 1990's. It showed a cheesemaker standing beside a cheese making vat (now in a local museum) and the article stated the vat had been used at the Cedar Creek Cheese Factory until the late 1950's. Sadly I can't find out anything else but I want to go back and have another poke around!<br />
<br />
Too many photos from the rest of our day to include here so there will be a part three!<br />
<br />
Chuck and I are headed out on a road trip for a few days so I will talk to you on the weekend.<br />
Take care!<br />

I forgot to include this photo of this little sweetie in my last post. When Janice and I were at Applefest we noticed a booth set up with a local organization "<a href="http://victoryforanimals.com/">Victory For Animals</a>" This little sweetie along with an adorable puppy were up for adoption. We were happy to see this kitty was quickly scooped up by a lovely lady and going to a wonderful home that included a few other kitties.<br />
<br />
All photos taken with old camera!<br />

Bright and early Tuesday morning <a href="http://keaslife.blogspot.ca/">Kim</a> (please visit her blog. She is much more organized than I am!) hopped off the train and away we went! First stop was the Reid's Dairy pond as we hadn't visited it since May. We were so surprised when we got there. Only a few ducks were swimming around in the pond and it was clear no animals had been there in quite awhile. In all the time we have lived here (30 years) I've never seen it like this. I must contact the dairy and find out what happened.<br />

Kim and I packed a picnic lunch Tuesday and headed out. We stopped at a lovely old church and had lunch in the covered patio.<br />

The original church had burned down in the 1980's (I think!) and a small church was built in it's place. The original pump has survived.<br />

Surrounding the church was a farm. We visited with the chickens and rooster for a few minutes. He kept a good watch on his girls!<br />
We did so much over the two days I can't put it all in one post. Part two coming up!<br />

Meanwhile at home Miss Kitty was busy. She was sitting on top of the fence watching a squirrel. She spotted me at the deck door and you can see what happened.<br />

It looks like poor old Smokey did! I knew he didn't have many teeth but I didn't think he had so few. If I remember correctly he has one fang in the top front<br />

Got a new camera recently so I have been trying to learn how to use it. It is rather more complicated then my 10 year old Sony!<br />

This past weekend was Applefest if you remember from my last post. It was so unbelievably hot and humid. Janice and I lasted two hours wandering around. Had a great time and chatted with lots of people. We stopped in at "Magnolia Cottage" for a few minutes and I came away with this old headboard.<br />

Sunday Janice and I visited the Codrington Farmers Market. We each picked up a few things and on the way home stopped at a garage sale. It was held in an old feed mill. I will share those photos next time. Janice was looking outside and called me over. She said "Here is a pot that is a Robin pot" I laughed and said "Yes, it is!" For $2.00 I was able to bring it home.<br />

The dahlias are so beautiful this year. With this heat they are growing like crazy.<br />
<br />
As I type this a cold front has moved in and the temperature has gone down 10 degrees. First thing I did was turn off the air conditioning and fling open the windows. Lovely!<br />
<br />
Hope everyone has a great rest of the week!<br />

And so it begins! The construction of houses has started in the old apple orchard a couple streets over from us. I will really miss walking there in the early mornings. I know we can when the streets are put in but it WON'T be the same.<br />

I succumbed and started my Fall decorating. Very hard to do when it is so hot out. This is what you see when you come in our front door.<br />

Boo, who is 30+ years old. My sister and I both bought one and we both still have him! He glows in the dark. I thought he didn't anymore but we noticed the other night he does.<br />

Here's the big foot! Miss Kitty was snoozing on the couch a few days ago and showing me her jellybeans. Don't touch them or you will get a whap!<br />

One more day of Chuck being on 24 hour call and we are done for a couple months. I am so glad it was this past weekend as this coming weekend is <a href="http://brightonapplefest.ca/">Applefest</a>! So many great things to do and they all are within walking distance from our home.<br />
<br />
Have a wonderful week!<br />

I love sunflowers! We are fortunate to have a wonderful local flower grower at <a href="http://dahliamayflowerfarm.com/">Dahlia May Flower Farm</a>. Please visit the link, it is a feast for the eyes! Last week Melaine, the owner, posted on Facebook a message that she was running a special on sunflowers. I hopped in the car first thing Thursday morning and toodled to Stockdale. Their farmstand is gorgeous and the drive there was beautiful. Sherry, the farm manager, came out to talk and showed me around the farmstand. I have purchased flowers from Melanie the last couple years at the Trenton Farmer's market but had never been to her home/farmstand. I will be back!<br />

Could have used a wagon again on our walk yesterday morning. A house was doing a clean out and I snapped up this. It was pretty filthy but a five minute scrub and it was clean. I am thinking Fall decor on the front steps! A few pumpkins and some gourds...... We had a similar one growing up.<br />
<br />
Looks like a warm humid week here. Chuck is on duty for the next seven days. Not fun as calls in the middle of the night are common.<br />
<br />
Have a good day!<br />

During the week Chuck and I are up at 5:00 a.m. to be out the door by 5:30 a.m. to get a walk in before Chuck goes to work. We do this mid -April to usually mid- October. I don't like walking in the heat and by the time Chuck gets home at 4:00 p.m. it can be quite warm.<br />

On the weekends we TRY to sleep until 6:00 a.m. and go for a walk then. This time of year it is dark at 5:30 a.m. so we really enjoy walking in the daylight on the weekends.<br />

This gladiola is from a beautiful garden at one of the Bed and Breakfast's in town. The house is over 100 years old and lovely too. I must get a photo to show you.<br />
<br />
I am really enjoying this cooler weather. I find I have so much more energy. I know some of you are still having stifling heat. I hope you get some relief soon!<br />
<br />
Enjoy the rest of your week!<br />

An old house on our walk. It sold back in the Spring and the new owners have slowly been fixing it up. It was covered in white aluminum siding which you can see is being ripped off. I love the soft yellow colour of the original wood. Some of the more recent additions are being ripped off too. You can see the line of the original porch on the right.<br />

Rainy day here today so a good day to catch up on inside jobs that have been neglected. I want to spend every sunny day outside!<br />

Have a wonderful week!<br />

Lovely weekend this past weekend. The weather was wonderful, perfect for a couple road trips. On Sunday we headed up to the <a href="https://warkworth.ca/codrington-farmers-market/">Codrington Farmers' Market</a>. What a wonderful place! Packed full of vendors all with local produce, flowers, baking, crafts....the list goes on. We purchased honey, corn and a delicious huge apple strudel muffin. On the way back I spotted an abandoned house right on the edge of the road. A quick stop and I jumped out. I only had sandals on or I would have gotten closer.<br />

Saturday we popped down to Cobourg for a quick visit. We wanted to visit their Farmers' Market too. After visiting both we prefer the Codrington one. Across from the market is a lovely park. These giant butterflies were through the park. There was just enough wind all the fabric was flapping. It did look like giant butterflies, so pretty!<br />

Poor Smokey! Sorry if this is gross to you! About a week ago he came for his breakfast sneezing. I looked up online and found out it is a cold and would run it's course in a week to ten days if there are no complications. He sneezed and wheezed for a few days and then disappeared. I feared the worst and was worrying to Kim about him. She was the voice of reason (Thanks Kim!) and stated he probably is holed up some where recuperating. I looked out yesterday mid afternoon and who was peering in the deck door at me. He ate a huge can of food then and came back this morning and ate two more. He sounds so much better!<br />

As you can see the weather was perfect on Wednesday. Haute Goat is a farm in Port Hope, Ontario. It is open to the public a few days a week with various workshops and "Shmurgling" held at certain times. Shmurgling is just a made up word for hugging, cuddling and smooching the animals<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We arrived at 11:00 with the shmurgling to commence at 11:30. Anyone can come for a visit and wander around the 200 acres for free (there is a donation box!) but we paid extra to enjoy the shmurgling.<br />

First up after being greeted by the four watchdogs was the alpacas. There were I think 6 females and a couple babies in the fenced area. We were told to approach them slowly and just talk softly. There were a half dozen kids on the tour with their parents. You know how that went! There was a small stampede as the kids dashed towards the alpacas. Debbie, one of the owners told everyone to stay put and they quickly calmed down.<br />

The alpacas mostly just wanted to eat but were letting people touch them. A few people were spat upon as they got too close!<br />

Then it was on to the goats. They have a large barn and enclosed area to themselves. When we had all assembled by the barn the young lady (Nina I believe) let the goats out and off they dashed. Nina is a WWOOOFer. WWOOOF stands for World Wide Opportunities On Organic Farms. Nina had been there for two weeks and was doing two more. She had been to Colorado, Vancouver and a couple other places. Originally from China, Nina was heading back to finish her last year of university at the end of August.<br />

Another farmer planted a HUGE field of buckwheat and then set up these bee hives on their land. The honey is available to purchase at Haute Goat. I tasted it. It is scrumptious!<br />

The field of buckwheat. It was so quiet (it was a bit of a walk from the farm but Janice and I wanted to see it) as no one else came out you could hear all the bees buzzing in the flowers. It was heaven.<br />
We ended up being there 3 hours and were the last to leave. In the store we tried goat fudge (OMG good!) goat cheese (Ditto!) and goat Carmel Corn. I really had to restrain myself from not buying some of everything. I did purchase some soap and hand cream which are lovely by the way. It was an incredible place and we will be going back. Janice and I are interested in a couple of the workshops this Fall.<br />

The beach was very busy with lots of swimmers. Janice and I stayed out on the pier which wasn't too busy.<br />
A great day which I would do again in a heartbeat.<br />

I picked up a case of food for the kitties and put the box on the floor to see if Miss Kitty would use it. She sat in it for five minutes or so washing.<br />

Hope you enjoyed the photos and thanks for hanging in so long!<br />

Have a wonderful weekend!<br />

We finally got around to cleaning up a few totes that have been sitting in the garage since we moved in a year ago. A box went to the thrift store and a big bag is going out in the garbage. Chuck reorganized and cleaned it top to bottom.<br />

The "New Guy" We think he belongs to another neighbour. He is rather plump and declawed on the front. Extremely snuggly and kissy. I call him "Ralph" Hopefully I can find out his real name shortly.<br />

I keep meaning to plant these in our garden but promptly forget each year.<br />

Janice and I are off to "Haute Goat" tomorrow. (I can't get the link to work!!! Google it please!) We are going to a "Haute Goat Shmurgling Experience" I read about a little while ago and knew I had to go! Photos to follow!<br />
<br />
Have a great week!<br />

Back to visiting Kim. We toured Murney Tower located on the shores of Lake Ontario. Built in 1846 of limestone to complement the fortifications of nearby Fort Henry, it is surrounded by a dry ditch and only accessible by a drawbridge. It has operated as a museum since 1925.<br />

It contains three floors, the lowest level being storage and having infantry loopholes, the second level are barracks and the third level is the artillery platform. A large cannon was up there.<br />

Being surrounded by a dry ditch the soldiers would shoot out the loopholes and if the bullet didn't hit it's intended target then often the ricochet would.<br />

This large stove was on the second level. Up to 25 men would be housed here. Eventually it became housing for an officer and his large family. It would certainly be an interesting place to live!<br />

Last Sunday at 6:00 am this home was moved from one lot to another across town. The owners are building a new house on the old lot and donated the house to Habitat For Humanity. A lot was donated so a family will shortly be living in this lovely home.<br />

Janice and I paid a visit to <a href="http://steannes.com/">Ste. Anne's Spa</a> last Monday. Janice and her daughter had stayed there 20 years ago and Janice remembered they have a delicious bakery on site.<br />

The Spa has changed quite a bit in 20 years! It is a very large complex with extensive gardens. After wandering around for 10 minutes or so (after a ten minute drive up a long and winding gravel road) we finally found the reception building.<br />

We spent a pleasant 45 minutes or so enjoying everything and looked up and noticed this storm had blown in. We quickly headed back to the car and found the bakery. Janice purchased some gluten free five grain bread ($9.95 a loaf!!!) and we headed home.<br />

It rained heavily for 20 minutes or so but by the time we got to my favourite farm stand Rutherford's it had stopped. A quick visit with the llama's before we headed inside to purchase some fruit and veggies.<br />

Smokey (in the back) seems to be feeling more comfortable around us now. Cortes still pays flying visits every once in awhile. I saw Punkin from a distance a couple days ago. I haven't seen Sweet Pea in a couple months and Snowball in about a month.<br />

I hope you all are well and enjoying the Summer or Winter depending on where you are.<br />

My friend Janice and her hubby Keith both lost their mothers within a couple months of each other last year. Both ladies possessions were doled out to various family members. Janice got quite a bit of jewelry from both ladies. Janice is not a big jewelry person, wearing pretty much the same rings, necklace and earrings every day. She knows I love anything old so passed along to me a few items. Janice's mum loved ducks so had these pins made out of wood to wear on her jackets.<br />

Saturday morning I could have used a wagon or something similar on our walk. A number of people must have been cleaning out sheds and basements. I picked up a couple bushel baskets to use for Fall decorating but had to go back with the car for this. A pair of very old shutters were put in a local communal wood pile. I didn't want to be greedy so only took one. It is pegged together with wooden pegs, not a nail or screw anywhere. There appear to be three layers of paint, first green, then red and lastly white. Chuck hung it up in my little courtyard at the side of the house<br />

So clear one morning I managed to get a few good shots of the moon.<br />
<br />
Chuck recently signed on to a full time position at his work so no more contracts!!! Finally some vacation time, sick days, family days, etc..... Right now the plan is just to work for a couple more years or however long his shoulder holds out. I will not love getting up at 5:30 on the cold Winter mornings but we know it isn't for long.<br />
<br />
Have a good day!<br />
