Good Morning!

It looks like we are in for a real nice day here in Cottage Country. We were, in the midst of some clouds, but as I gaze out, I see lots of blue sky heading our way. Which is nice as my lovely wife and I have some mowing around the house here to do today. We like to keep it looking nice, as we enjoy taking it all in when all said and done. There are some downfalls living where we do, but there are more good things than bad, especially watching nature unfold around us at any given time. There isn’t a window in our home that when looking out is like looking at a picture.

That’s why we came to live here many years ago. It used to be very peaceful. But now, during the summer, it’s becoming less quiet. Some people call it progress, but for my wife and me, it feels like we’re losing a special, timeless place. But it’s still better than living, or being close to the large cities, that’s for sure.

Highway 522: Not much traffic these days, but we are still having a few folks drop by our one of a kind gift shop, where everything in our store is made by my wife and I. Things you have never seen before that can’t be had anywhere else. Many have tried to copy us over the years, but never succeeded. Makes me smile.

On another note, yesterday being so wet, we didn’t do much outside. My wife however did do up some Prune Jam which sure is tasty. It will be nice to get into this winter. She’s truly an incredible woman. Despite having a lot on her plate, she manages to find time to prepare for winter and take care of things, along with me and our boys, which is a job in itself.

With that, I am off for another Egg McMuffin and will then see what the day has in store … other than we have planned.

Have a great day and when the sun gets to shinnin’ get out there and soak some of it up, as your body needs it to stay healthy through the long winter, which isn’t that far off. The more sun … the less sickness. GW
