It was quite a day! With wind gusts exceeding 100 kilometers per hour (60 mph) and a soaking wet soil from weeks of severe rains, many trees in the Niagara region were seen literally falling out of the gound.

Not Another Flood!
Marilyn has an absolute phobia about ticks. You know, the little bugs that drop down out of the trees or jump up from the grass, attach themselves to you and then suck your blood. Still don’t know what I’m talking about? Here’s what Wikipedia says about ticks. We live in a Conservation area, so we often…
Ouch!
Yesterday afternoon, after doing chores around our coach and our yard, we went for a bit of a drive. You know, a cruise to see what had changed over the winter. Apparently going for a drive is not something you do any more. On the way home I stopped to fuel the truck. As the…
I Feel Like Blogging

Simple Is Best

Meet Murphy
You probably already have. He’s the guy that’s famous for all those Murphy’s Laws. You know; If anything can go wrong it will and all those other gems. Yesterday I ask you to comment, today I realize that “Comments” aren’t working. I’m getting them and can see them in the back of the blog but…
