Sometimes I wonder ...

Friday was spent updating my blog, clearing out a bunch of useless files and programs on my computer. The few times the sun came out, I did slip outside to do some reading and take some pictures of the few flowers that managed to live through the summer with a water ban on. Sometimes plants need to be watered more than once every second day! So here are a few boring pictures of my surviving plants:




Why I did not move to a warmer climate when I was younger! Why do I subject myself to the ever changing seasons in our area? Being such an avid lover of the sun and warm weather, it kills me to see the summer turn to fall. Yesterday we decided to go to the cottage for the day, and seeing as we had been warned that there were 6 foot swells on the other side, we decided to take the ferry. Here is a picture I took on the way over:

Suffice to say, by the time we got there, the wind had dropped to nothing and the sun disappeared. It was damp and cloudy and dreary...and some people present were kind of in a bad way because their long summer holiday was coming to close.
Seeing as I didn't really get time to rename and reorganize some of the 1500+ music files that I have saved at the station, I decided to take a drive down to the station and spend a few hours getting stuff sorted. Here is the picture of the 'new' sign at the station:

someone took the time to plant a lovely bunch of flowers right next to the barn as well:

After I was done there, I traveled back to the cottage but stopped to take a picture of one of my favourite barns, before the wind takes it down:

After dinner, we sat around and yakked then took off a bit early to take a look at a house that is for sale in the village of Stella. Damn, if we bought that, I could walk over to the station on Fridays:)
When we got on the boat, I discovered our friend Brent Wolfrey's was the Captain, so I asked if I could come up to the wheelhouse for the ride over. I had never been up there in the dark...man was it spooky!! None of my pictures turned out well so I wont bore you with them:)
So I guess today will be a day to do housework! The forecast for Monday Tuesday and Wednesday is sun sun sun...Figures!
Next weekend will be hot and sunny for the four days I am off...I can just feel it!
