You know there is outhouses and then there are outhouses.  A really good friend of mine here in Port Loring that owns a resort took an old outhouse and you could say gave it a face lift.  He did leave the bit of a tilt to it which is a good thing, as I never ever really seen a true outhouse perfectly straight.    I gotta’ tell ya it sure looks mighty fine to me and a touch better than what I had growing up.  Click Image to enlarge.

Wife got done making up some fresh buns and bread so thought I would take a picture to show ya what one can do on his or her own, without going to the corner store. Notice the old bread box off to the left. Was the wifes Mothers many years ago.    And so much better for ya.  Click Picture to enlarge..

You know my wife can go outside and within ten minutes have a vase of flowers like this sittin’ on the table waitin’ to be enjoyed.  She mixes them up with wild flowers and others from our gardens and walla’….. there you have it.  Once done I get to sit back and admire them for days on end throughout the summer months.  A picture like the one below is nice to have on hand come winter, just to show a feller what lays ahead come summer.  Click picture to enlarge.

Now I know you all have heard of Charlotte’s Web.  This morning I was sittin’ having my tea with my lovely wife on our front porch, when looking up I spotted what is in the pictures below.  Yep….. Charlotte’s Web, wasn’t there yesterday or last night but was this morning, so as you can see she has been pretty busy.  I guess it is a bit to early for her to be up as she was no where to be seen.  But I am sure she isn’t to far off.   It never ceases to amaze me how much work they put into their webs.  Something just taken for granted by us humans and most of the time just goes unnoticed.  Click Pictures to enlarge.

Ok for those that hasn’t seen Sparky our Fire Dog here he is, I took a picture from last years parade so you can have a look see.  Just couldn’t let a parade go by without him. Click on picture to enlarge.

Everybody Loves a parade so thought I would share our parade here in town as it goes by our home.  The whole parades concept was reduce, reuse, and recycle.   Enjoy!!   Hmmmm the only thing I missed was Sparky wonder what happened to him, poor old feller, maybe they put him out to pasture.

Well came across this deal this year, it’s a Geisler cedar strip boat made in Powassan, Ontario.  I gotta’ tell ya she’s a fisherman’s dream come true to own one of these.  If you decide to stand you can do so with ease and no fear of falling out of the boat.  Nice and wide too if you need to stretch them legs, five feet across.  Same length as the wife, huh.    The two swivel seats are so comfortable that it is as if sittin’ in your lazy boy back home.   Design and quality is something not to be taken lightly neither.  I couldn’t recommend a better boat for those that like to get out there and catch the big ones.  On the back is a nice Fifteen Horse Evinrude, large enough to take you anywhere and if you want to troll, well this is what you need.   Also loads easy on that Easy Hauler Trailer.  So………..if your in the market for a boat of a life time head on out and visit Geisler boats in Powassan, Ontario.  Link to their web site below, your just a click away.  Also to enlarge pictures just click images.  Oh and I named it Jennie in remembrance of a horse I had many years ago.  My lovely wife painted the name on er just the other day.

For years now I have tried to portrait what it was like years ago through words and pictures. In this picture here is an old feller in the fields working with out a care.  Enjoying life to the fullest, without any of the modern day equipment of today.  Amazing picture. Click on it to enlarge.
