Well, instead of sunshine this morning, we’re in the midst of a lot of clouds. That said, we should see some sunshine a bit later on. Which is fine with me, as today is mowing day for us here in Northern Ontario. The grass has slowed down a lot, so now, instead of cutting it every week, we only mow every two weeks. That’s also fine with me, since by this time of year, I’m getting a bit tired of it. Still, it does keep my wife and me fit, and it doesn’t take us all that long—about half a day.

Highway 522: It has slowed down a lot traffic-wise these days, since most of our tourists have packed up and left for another season. Which is just fine with my wife and me, because we enjoy the quiet. Not that it’s ever very noisy around here anyway. Truth is, it’s so quiet inside our house that we can’t even hear anyone coming up the driveway. I blame it on that new insulation we put in a few years back. It works so well, we might need to buy a dog just to let us know if anyone’s at the door.

On another note, yesterday I managed to almost finish up that old wooden horse that George Lee, the former owner, made many years ago. I have to say, it turned out pretty darn nice—I think old George would be happy to see it now. I’m not sure why, but something over the past few years kept nagging at me to fix it up. At any rate, it’s all finished now except for a bit of paint, which my lovely wife is going to do when she finds the time. After that, I’ll let you all have a look at it. I did take a picture before I started, so I’ll be able to show you a before-and-after. It might be a day or so, though, as my wife is pretty busy these days. Well, truth be told, she’s always busy.

So with that, I’m off to enjoy the breakfast my little woman has set in front of me. After that, I’ll have a cup of English tea, and then I’ll head outdoors to see about waking up those mowers.

Until next time, keep your minds open and your stories alive. GW
