Looking at the photo I can
see where Bing's body is turned
'in the middle'
Half the body is on his back
Half his body is on his side
WIERD
Doesn't look very
comfortable to me
Evening sun coming through the windows
Bing enjoying the outside from the inside
We're still under construction with the dock
Working on the ol' breakwall as well
We brought this wine barrel home
from Pentiction
My summer planting is now complete
I noticed this sparrow at the bird feeder
He has a feather stuck to his beak
He was very frustrated
He would shake his head
over and over again
Saturday afternoon we drove down to Chatham
to stay the night with friends
'Peggy and Charles'
We drove out to a forest near Ridgetown
This was one big tree that came down
It must have happened recently as the leaves are still very green
We were out of the forest area
We turned around and went back the way we came
It was interesting to see the forest
when we walked in the opposite direction
We missed many things on the 'first' walk
There were many wind turbines along the way
We noticed this house on our way
to Clear Creek Forest
Would you believe my camera was in the
TRUNK OF THE CAR
So............we had to make sure we got a photo on our way home
It must have been quite the home at one time
Look at the detail around the window frames
Just look at the inside of the house
Boy...if walls or rooms could talk
What would the story be???
One lonely tree in the back field
Across the street from Peggy and Charles' home is
Riverview Gardens
This is where St. Joseph's Hospital once was

A lot of 'family' babies
I can still visualize the hospital
as to how it looked
way back in the 40s!
We're now back in Sarnia
We drove by the Chrysler dealership
to take a look at our new truck
We pick it up tomorrow
We were tossing around names
Most of them silly names
Anyone out there have a suggestion?????
It will be ........... Blue
or Blue ............

We had a duck come to the feeder this evening

Another beautiful day

ReplyDeleteAwh sweet adorable Gwennie :o) !! I was whispering in her ear....lol. I'm delighted to see Bing enjoying the outdoors via indoors ! That old house has me intrigued. It surely must of been grand in it's day. What a reno project that would make eh Joe ? lol Thank you Dianne for including me in your blog with my favourite subject :o) xo
ReplyDeleteA truck? Are the animals going to fit in the back seat??? Is Bing on probation since his outdoor adventure? Nice to see what you have been doing. Loved the details on the old house.
ReplyDeleteIt was fun being with you to Explore Cold Creek Forest enjoyed your shots.
ReplyDeleteThat old house intrigued me....what a tale could be told by the original owners - wish I could meet them.
Look forward to seeing you on your next visit to Tom's - let me know.
