The Goose song was loud and strong during the last days at THO. Have you been outside to to see them and wave goodbye?
They fly South now along with a lot of Canadian Seniors. Safe trip to all the snow birds. See you in the spring.

Remembrance Day Sunset
The sunset at THO on 11.11.12 was very unique. I took a lot of photos of it, in hope that many would be better able to convey the magnificent closure of Remembrance 2012.
I take the day to remember those individuals whose lives are and were impacted because of war. I believe that any person who thinks, suffers because of war. But in the scope of suffering even our worst thoughts cannot bring to us the greatness of suffering, experienced by those who are first hand touched by war.

Mud Bog Image
On September 8 2012, I was at the Sand’s Mud Bog which I wrote about earlier. This morning my cousin T sent me a photo that I think is great so I wanted to share. Better late than never, am I right?
Here I am with a few of my fabulous cousins. Good times!
Makes me wish I was home right now.

Necessity
I think that everyone has heard “necessity is the mother of invention.” It might just be true in all cases, but when I found the photo below, I was totally blown away by the ingenuity of the fellow who made this place into his home. It looks humble but it may just have everything that a person needs to live comfortably.
Could you live here? I think I could, but I am not sure that I would want to; it looks as though it may be a bit spider rich for me.

Sweet Little Ones
Leo came and put the eves trough up. Now that I have a ladder, this means that all I have to do is hook up a barrel to it next spring in order to have running water in the in-house. I decided to put two downspout holes in it. One for the garden water which is using chain instead of a downspout simply because I saw this on the internet and liked the look. I will let you know how it works.
He brought someone fantastic with him. Beautiful blue eyed Izzie. She was a very good sport about the thousand kisses that Rudigrrr placed on her little cheeks. She is a very quiet little girl, totally easy going. I had to play with her of course! I also sang and played a bit of music for her and she never once complained. I am not a good musician so this was pretty cool. She also let me read “The Giving Tree” to her and since I don’t know her that well, I totally can’t believe how easily she just let me entertain her! What a sweet child!
When Leo, Kyle and Izzie left, we worked on the cloth porch to get it closed up but did not get quite finished. The green tarp had a salamander living in it, and while trying to help it to the ground the poor thing fell about 5 or 6 feet from the tarp to the ground. It walked away after laying stunned for about 30 seconds. I hope it will be okay. Anyone know anything about salamanders? This sweet little one was a darkish colour with a yellow stripe. We have a lot of them around THO, but I don’t know much about them. They sure are cute and tiny… I love their itty-bitty fingers.
