Winter wonderland

Snowy day in Shawville

'06 Saturn Vue - my 'new' vehicle that replaces my very tired '99 Montana van

Driving is fun again. 

Fall 2011

Not that I ever look forward to the end of summer but inevitably it happens and thank goodness for the colours of fall, the oranges and reds and even pinks, that help make the change to colder weather a little more bearable.

How beautifully leaves grow old. How full of light and color are their last days.

It's cold here today. 

Ok, so not cold enough to snow but it was only 5C this morning

 and taking a long time to warm up, making me second guess my decision to go back 

to my 'outside' job. BRRRR, I'm NOT a winter person so I'm looking forward 

to the warm fall that the weather man has predicted.

My vehicle has a busted radiator and I have no heat. 

Could it have something to do with my latest run-in with a deer. 

Thinking it's about time I replaced my '99 GM Transport we're going this afternoon to look at a new (used) vehicle, an '06 Saturn Vue. Fingers crossed it's in as good a shape as it appears in the for sale ad. I've been in need of a new vehicle for quite a while but with the demise of my radiator and winter coming I really have to do it.

As for the deer, one less deer in the Pontiac...it's gone along with my deflector and busted rad.

Not looking forward to the end of summer.

We've had some very peculiar weather this summer, violent storms and ominous clouds. 

Tonight is another night with weather warnings of impending storms. 

The above photo was taken a few short weeks ago, not much came out of it, thankfully.
