Went for a Sunday drive down south today ...
loved the motel/antique museum we came
across in Hallock.  And then of course,
we ran into alot of rain in GF so lots of car washes happening!

Spent a glorious entire day in the sunshine
doing wood work :)

September 27 ... Where I Stand

Where I stood today ... guess if I'd started at the beginning,
I should have caught  my morning walk and
walking up 9 flights of stairs to an early morning appt in downtown Winnipeg.
 The three I caught were with
Hazel, who just turned 11 months and is doing lots of standing
and short little jaunts walking these days,
starting to rake up some of the many leaves down already,
and trying to gather just a few of the hundreds of volunteer
Tiny Tims that are ready in the garden now.

And just in case I get nothing else today ...
it was way overdue fridge cleaning time



All five from the same tree ...

Our tree did manage to produce a few
salvageable  apples ... think it may not come back next year though :(

Ravae and I went to find some late straggling Johnny Jump-ups  ...
it looks a little rough around the edges

And went to visit my mom and took
her for a ride through The Gardens complex

September 24 ... A trail / Walking

The Great Trail ... don't walk it often unless I have Moose, but have
walked and biked  it to the golf course a few times this year.
I did have to smile when someone came down the trail
to see if I was alright ... guess from a distance, me,
trying to get a camera set up on the ground for a picture
could have looked like I was in trouble.

What a gorgeous day out at Falcon!  Started with a beautiful
morning out at the beach, got another wonderful day on the water and
caught fish again, and then packed up to head home.
We did run into a little hiccup en route though.  Not too far into our
trip home, heard a very loud BANG!, and discovered we had blown
a tire on our camper.  Thankfully, no damage to the camper, had a spare (if somewhat
under inflated), and Conrad had us back on the road in less than half hour.

Thinking this is probably our  last jaunt out to Falcon

Ooops ... my photography hunt finally
got me a little 'stuck'  ... :(😧
Thanks to Rob, who gave me a little shove,
managed to get out with no damage but a LOT of mud!!

And trying to capture this little scene  :)

Puzzled and intrigued by the variety
and number of mushrooms popping up all
over the place these days

Not a great fishing day for us,
but any day that you spot bears and
eagles while out on a gorgeous day on the water ...
is a great day!

My view as we were trolling

Sheesh ... need to have a redo on this one ...
almost no light, my wet hair, Conrad waiting to get into the shower,
you do what you need to do to get that anniversary pic I guess.
Forty-one years today!  :)

Left around our firepit at Falcon :)

Grace was pretty happy with
the fish that she managed to catch today

September 12 ... Historical

The historical Schwartz House 

But hold it ... our house is pretty historical too.
I think at about 130 years old, it qualifies as historical.

This is crazy!  Lit the woodstove for a bit
to take the damp chill off in the house 

Troy and I loaded up the truck with
some willow he had cut and split on his yard

And into the woodshed it goes

Yeeks!  Did not realize this road would still
be this soft and wet.  Actually landed up in the grass
at the edge of the ditch for parts of it.  My poor new bike ...
got a bit muddy :(

Apple sauce production

Went out back after 10 to play a little with a flashlight ...
needs some fine tuning, but it sure is fun! :)

Got a few of the potatoes dug before the rain ...
not the greatest crop by a long shot

Gathering the apples that we could reach

Weiner roast time :)

This threesome (the little girls) can get into some real spats,
but they sure can have fun too :)
Trying to capture all the cousins together can be a bit of a challenge ...
I've decided to embrace all the looks, closed eyes, crying,  etc.  Sorry Hazel :(
