Starting the Day Right, Here in the North on October 23/2024

Good Morning! You know I’ve spent years thinkin’ and wondering, but I’ve come to realize <> some of the best things in life can’t be explained, just felt.

Looking out this morning, it’s one of those dark and gloomy days here in the north. It seems like we’ll get some rain off and on as the day rolls along. And, with the season starting to shift, we might just hear a rumble of thunder or catch a flash of lightning for good measure, <> but, it’s that time of year when you never quite know what the weather’s got in store for us. Expect the unexpected, as they say.

On another note, the past few days have kept me busy, wrapping up those last-minute jobs with winter just around the corner. This year, though, I’m happy to say I’ve just about got everything squared away. I even managed to gather up most of the leaves and spread them over the garden, tilling them in nicely. That soil’s going to be primed and ready come spring, let me tell ya.

Of course, it wasn’t all smooth sailing <> as my old rototiller decided to give me a bit of grief, but I’m in the middle of fixing it now. Truth told, she’s been with me for over 40 years, so I can’t complain much. Hell, at my age, I’ve got a few issues of my own, so I can’t expect more from her than I can from myself, now can I?

Highway 522’s been busy with hunters, or more like “wannabe hunters,” wandering around. Mix them in with the locals <> and it’s like watching a slow-motion race of trucks, ATVs, and trailers creeping along, everyone eyeing up the best spots. The locals, though, well, they aren’t in much of a rush, as simply put <> they know the best places to be are nowhere near all the fuss!

Today, as I mentioned, I’ve got my old rototiller to tinker with. And with the gloomy skies and cold creeping in, my old woodworking shop is looking more and more like the place to be. Won’t be long before I’ll be firing up the shop stove. But that’s okay, as after cleaning up the bush around the house, I’ve got enough wood to keep it toasty for the next three years. Goes to show ya, cleaning things up once in a while pays off. If nothing else, you find out what you’ve got that you didn’t even know was there!

With that I am off for my breakfast that my lovely wife has made for me and will then see what the day has on her plate. One never really knows.

You all have a great day, and remember, folks! Most of the time, the best things in life <> are right outside your door. It’s the little moments/things that often bring the most joy, patently waiting for us to take notice. GW
