I'm with you both

 It came to bare this morning when I made a dish of Cream of Wheat for my breakfast. This is a favourite Winter breakfast cereal for me. Does that mean I am transitioning to Fall/Winter?

Then we went to the South River park to walk the dogs along the Lake. It is actually a river that opens up to a larger area so I call it a Lake. The water was as calm and clear as a mirror and the landscape across was adorned with the most gorgeous display of reds and oranges and yellows and was reflected into the water like a mirror image. Just gorgeous. Another reminder of Fall, is it not? 

Today I had made arrangements to meet a friend at the Arena to walk with my two dogs around the grounds. This was to join her to walk with her new walking sticks as she does not want to walk and I thought i might encourage her to get ot. Ten minutes before I was to leave to drive to the Arena, she called to say she had been offered a chance to go out onto the Lake here in Sundridge to fish, and would call me on Monday. That was it! So I took my Bailey for a walk up the street and into the Cemetery for a walk, and then back home. By then Harry had decided he wanted Caramel Corn and he had popped the bag of popcorn and so I was left with pulling out the ingredients and making the batch of caramel corn. It is in the oven as I write and after an hour I take it out and let it cool. I do NOT eat popcorn so it will all be his own haha!   By the way, when I returned home following my delightful walk with Bailey, I poured myself a goblet of wine. And the I just poured myself another.  Life is grand😏!

I just finished a book by Kelly Armstrong and returned it today to the Library. I was called Hemlock Island.  It is not of her usual genre. In her Acknowledgments she wrote that she had always wanted to write a Horror Novel so her publisher said to go ahead. This was the result. I forced myself through it. I do not recommend it unless you are into the occult and horror and black magic and spirits that mutilate and kill. Or should I say create Zombies instead, that go ahead and kill. Just saying haha !

Take care both of you... Monday we are apparently going up to the Cranberry Marsh to pick cranberries. Life is never dull. 😟Love XX

The energy-sucking garage sale panic is over.

  We both made it through the day without faltering, very much looking forward to a good nap once things were over.  But then were so high couldn't sleep.  Both Loren and Amber were there to help us, with Amber stopping at Tim's for breakfast on her way.   I was up and immediately dressed at 7:00 (Omg!  It even hurts to be able to say that)  Then off in the car to set up 5 signs.  Of course, each stop one has to find a place to park, get out of the car, place the sign, and reverse the process.  That finished, I parked in the mall across the way, pulled my walker out of the car, and trudged off home.  I was so glad to have the walker during the day, mainly because the float was hidden in the small zipper compartment in the walker and I sat on it most of the day.  We moved the patio table and umbrella to the front yard.  Amber and I spent most of the day there, while Loren and Dave spent their time in the garage, until later in t...

Baking

  Yesterday I forgot to mention that I've become concerned about how much money we've been spending on muffins.  So I decided to try baking them on my own.  We got rid of all my baking pans at the garage sale so had to make a trip to Dollarama for a new one.  It's silicone and soft and wiggly, but also dishwasher safe.  I've made some Blueberry muffins that didn't rise very well.  Turned out the baking powder was over a year past it's "best before" date.  Went out and bought more. I've found recipes on-line for Banana Chocolate Chip, Chocolate, and another Blueberry that uses frozen berries rather than thawed--great--as all of mine are Frozen.  I'm also going to look for a recipe for Bran, but not today.

OMG! It's been almost a week since I posted!

  The priority over the weekend was concern about David's driver's license.  He got the letter on Friday telling him that his license was being revoked, and he was to surrender the actual license by today at the latest.  The letter also included some good information on options including a special assessment process called "DriveABLE.  David had to wait until yesterday to call them, but wasn't able to get an appointment for the re-assessment until May 3rd.  So, while we were out yesterday, he went in and "did the deed".  Sort of a sad time around here, but at least there is hope. This all meant a quiet week end, spent mainly at home, but this also meant a bit more studio time than usual.  A significant number of the pieces for the new EPP piece have been cut and put in Zip-loc bags for future basting and sewing together.  This will be my work for the group in Lorette for the foreseeable future.  Today was also the day for my monthly Zoom meet...
