So its been 13 days...Is that unlucky?

Yes we just passed Friday the 13th and it was relatively uneventful. Except my new manager called a meeting for 3-4 pm on Friday and at 415 I had to excuse myself. I had to get home, pick up Bill, go back to the legion, have dinner, race back home, brush my teeth and grab my laptop to catch the 630 ferry. It had been very windy for the past few days and the wind was not about to die off just because I was traveling across the north channel! It wasn't too bad going over, but coming back was another story. I was the only car on the 10 and even though I was in the stern, the waves were coming over the bow and the swells were deep. The only thing I could see were the lights from the mainland bouncing up and down. Then when I realized we were facing Millhaven Pen., the captain cranked the boat by 180degrees to the east and traveled with the waves to the ferry dock. What a feeling! I took pictures, but guess what? I mistakenly deleted all the pictures on my memory card before downloading them to my laptop! Not too bright eh?

Ok so last weekend was Thanksgiving. It was just a long weekend for us. Our son didn't come home and my brother and his fiancee were both working. So I managed to take Friday off and made it a 4 day weekend. The weather was beautiful and I was happy I borrowed a camera from work. I stopped at a park just between here and Amherstview and took some pictures. The sun was so bright and the colours seemed to be so bright!


I also stopped at Fairfield Park and took a pile of pictures as well. This is the Fairfield "White House' that was just painted a few days before I took this picture.

That night was a harvest moon. It came up from the horizon in the East and the sun dropped in the west. It was a weird view from the top of the ferry. That's the great thing about getting to know the ferry staff...I can bribe them to allow me to go upstairs for a few photo opportunities.


The next morning, we got up early and went to Morrison's for breakfast and then tripped over a multitude of people at the farmers market. MAN was it busy there! It was such a beautiful day so I am sure we were not alone in our quest for some fresh air. We drove over to visit my bro for a bit before heading for home.
We had parked right across from St Georges and I thought I couldn't let this photo op slip by without capture the colour of the trees vs the limestone.

On the way home, we stopped at our friend Sue's place. Of course I had to take a few pictures of the lake. The clouds were reflecting nicely off the cold dark blue body of water:

The rest of the weekend was spent doing outdoor chores such as painting and getting the boat ready for the winter. Instead of having a traditional thanksgiving dinner, I went into town and bought Mino's take out. YUM!
I would gladly share all my pink sunrise pictures from this past week, but I deleted them:( DAMN...I just realized I deleted our first snow pictures from Thursday evening as well! Does that mean that if I don't have proof, it might not have been real snow?

Ok, so here I sit, its Sunday night, Billy is gone hunting and I'm watching Disney?! I need a hobby!
