Good Morning! Folks always ask how I’m still going at my age—I tell ’em it’s all about good habits and low expectations.

It’s a nice day here this morning in the north. The sun’s out, doing her thing, and what birds are sticking around for winter are at the feeder, and the fall colours—well, they’re showing off too. Reds, oranges, yellows—the kind of colours that stop you for a minute. The air is a touch cool, but the sun is balancing it out, making you just want to stand there and take it all in. All in all, it’s a pretty nice thing to see and feel first thing in the morning.

Highway 522 these days is slow at times, but as the day progresses, so do the people. I’ve also noticed there are a lot of motorcycles out and about, with riders eager to enjoy the fine weather while it lasts—and I can’t say I blame them. Having ridden motorcycles years ago, I’d describe it as the kind of day when you just want to feel the wind on your face, and see the road stretching out ahead. Kind of miss those days, with my black leather jacket—and my hair slicked back with Vaseline.

On another note, yesterday I worked outside all day, cleaning up my shop and tending to the gardens. It was a good day, in spite of the weather, and I got a lot done. Can’t beat a day living in the country doing the things you enjoy. That’s for sure!

Today, I’m not sure what I’ll be doing. It’s one of those days where I have a lot to do but don’t feel like doing any of it. You know—the kind of day where a to-do list looks more like a wish list? I kind of think that sometimes it’s just better to sit back, sip some coffee, and let the world spin for a while. After all, tomorrow is another day, and those chores will still be waiting for me.

With that I am off for my breakfast that my lovely wife is preparing for me, an egg on an English Muffin covered with some good old aged cheddar cheese. And after that, a cup of hot cocoa on the front porch. Why? “Just because I can!”

You all have a great day, and I will leave you with these few words that my old Dad said to me many times: “Work hard, but always take time to enjoy the view.” GW
