Hear the roar as the water rushes by…. in life…. time slips away … we don’t even notice…. but… one minute you are starting the day… and before you know it… the day has come to an end.
The colours right now are magnificent. I took part of yesterday to drive along country roads that were bordered by the trees that are alive with their fall wardrobe. Living in a part of the world where we are blessed with 4 distinct seasons, is pure JOY.
Let’s put our whole heart into everything we do, even if it’s something as simple as pushing a button.
If you are content with the status quo, your progress will stop. Always seek for ways to improve yourself and continue to move forward one step at a time.(PL2014.12)
ohhh there is magic in the air, the mystical and the witching themes are everywhere…. ghosts and goblins sneak out of hiding and float happily past on their way to hide-a-way where they can enjoy a ghoulish brew. I tried all day yesterday and the night before to get into the Fifty Linden Friday Halloween venue… there are a ton of free gifts and spooky items to be had.. sale items are all 50 linden. I was determined, I tried again first thing on getting into the office today…. when there is a will, there is always a way!!
I can see some of you shaking your heads.. it is not even mid month yet… let me tell you, there are pumpkins and Halloween decor everywhere ….. I’m not alone in my love of the ” Halloween season” What other time can you take your pet dragon out for a walk. wink..
Where are they, what do they know we don’t. When we got that really cold weather last week, the chipmunks didn’t come out. They waited for the day to warm up. There have been whispers that we might get a cold snap over the next few weeks. On the bright side, with the cold…. I have not seen the pesky biters (mosquitoes)
Discover the joy of Transforming yourself. When you realize how much you have changed for the better, it fills you with true happiness. Strive each day to improve yourself. (PL2014.8)
…. do you realize when you are retired, you don’t “have” to get up and be somewhere, unless you decide that is something YOU WANT to do….

ps. I’m thinking of finally putting into action, an adult colouring book. I have enough material accumulated.
Even when you’ve put in your best effort, you may have overlooked something, With a humble mind, take a second look to check for mistakes or oversights. (PL 2014.7)
Feeling tired, worn out, need a break. This rusted beauty above has been sitting on the side of the road for years. I was glad to see it was still there, but it is showing its age. The picture below is from my collection of vintage oldies ( found on Pinterest). These relics are from a different time. Life was slower … the car was an invention that allowed for greater distances to be travelled, in a shorter time. It was the beginning of an era where life would no longer be lived “closer to home”
There was a time, when someone who lived in another village/town/hamlet would be a total stranger, and usually would remain so … because life was lived within the community/parish you lived in. Now we can wake up in one country and go to bed in another … Friends/family can be miles away, Sometimes the physical distance means the only communication is “electronic”…
How many readers remember when the only way we could stay in touch was by “Mail”… when phones were few and far between… How many of you have had a “penpal”… someone who you wrote to .. in a far away place.. and then wait for them to respond… a conversation tooks weeks/months. Sigh.. a trip down memory lane.
Note. I still communicate with two of my “pals” one in New Zealand, the other in NY State..
New Encounters can help you change.
Be up for anything, even if its out of your comfort zone. This is a chance for you to improve yourself as a human being.(PL2020.30)
This is the old truck that sits next to the first car.
Cheers everyone.. May your day be blessed with sunshine and friends.
I am not a food blogger, however, yesterdays culinary adventure was simply delicious. In my travels I ended up in Merrickville, Ontario around the time my tummy was screaming for attention. Discover the Yellow Canoe Cafe on St. Lawrence Street.. they have a patio, but I ate in the restaurant .. I was lucky to be first in the door when it opened. …https://www.yellowcanoecafe.com/ I picked the Blue Beef sandwich and fresh garden salad. The blue is for the blue cheese married with tender juicy brisked beef.. the taste was awesome, I actually had to supress a groan of pleasure when I bit into a hunk of avocado with the beef.
Turn your intuitions into actions.
Appreciate each intuition you receive and take action right away. By doing so will invite good fortune. (PL2017.5)
btw, the Yellow Canoe Cafe is known for its scones.. I was not wanting to take away from the joy of my sandwich and salad so I skipped it.. but I’m told their baked goods are awesome.. yes .. they bake their breads. (service was efficient, and sunshine friendly.) NB* the little cafe filled up fast…
Have a great day!

Merrickville was one stop out of many. stay tuned.
The witching month is here .. it is official, the pumpkins, spiders, skulls, everywhere one looks we can catch a glimpse of spider webs, or the tail end of a broom as someone flies to work. In the shops, we can have spiced lattes, pumpkin pie, the restaurants are offering up thanksgiving specials.. (Canadian Thanksgiving is on the 14th. of October) Orange in every hue is all around us.
Express your feelings without hesitation
If you hold in all your feelings, you will feel heavy. Just say what is on your mind without hesitating. (PL2017.4)
Sometimes, we have to be “grown up”… Whatever that means!
