cheesy Good afternoon, Christmas Wackos around the Globe!
Went trekking in the bush to the gorge for more photos today. Met a black bear, he was oblivious to us. I don't think black bears are the best at fishing. I'm snapping away, took a quick video too and then one of the rocks or logs moved and I realized it was a bear. At first, I thought "retreat slowly", then I said to myself, "photo op" and I started clicking. I couldn't bring my zoom in close enough to get a great shot of the bear. Nice photos of the rapids in the river, plenty of blackfly bites, one deerfly tried, but didn't succeed.
Photos haven't been uploaded to Photobucket yet. You can't make out the bear too well, he wasn't as close as he appeared through my viewfinder.
I had a dream I was playing with a Slinky down my aunt's old stairs in her old home like I did when we were kids.
Enjoy your evening we're headin' out and about again. Wonder what kind of adventure we'll have next.
Stay tuned to the same festive channel to learn more about the adventures of Auntie Tarzan Mistletoe.
HaHa. :hello: Did I mention it was nice to have you back, Binger. I forgot I was supposed to harrass you in Crown's absence.
Stay tuned for some harrassing later something about drinking too much Java and cheating at cards with Carl the Camel.

Hmmm..... I wonder which one it could be, Dom? Hmmm....
OH, YEAH! It's, It's...... 2/3!
Wow! Step away for a long weekend and just look! Two-Thirds of the way back to our fantastic Christmas Season!
The full count:
Days to the Season: 122
Days to Christmas Day: 164
And thanks to the magnificent Dom for bringing us through the last 3 steps.
Another great job, my friend.
(Hey! How would you like to take over for next year?)
Had a great trip to the mountains of Wintergreen, VA. (Just west of Binger country - I could smell all the coffee blowing in from Norfolk whenever there was a strong east wind.)
Beautiful scenery, with lots of wildlife - squirrels, chipmunks, deer, woodchucks...... and hummingbirds - those hummingbirds! Got a photo you'll love. Will post it as soon as it it downloaded.
But it's great to be back! You can alway count on (and count to) your friends!
Have a Marvelous Monday, everybody!

`Welcome Back Crownster!
Glad you enjoyed those precious days off!!!
Speaking of days off...Where is that JAY??
*Holiday, so sorry about that sunburn. I have a remedy that always works! ~Put some Cider Vinegar on a paper towel and gently dab it on the burn..the acidity stops the burn. You'll feel some relief my friend, but unfortunately will smell like a pickle!
*Bingster, you WILL get to Alaska!

I heard a rumour that JayIsh was taking a few lessons in performing the Paux du Lux while speaking into the microphone in his DJ booth so he won't hurt himself. So far, I have not been able to confirm this rumour.
Will pay for photos. cheesy HaHa.
Welcome back, Crown! What a lovely count to start off the week.
And look at that no work for me - I've done so much in the last two days, I'll have to think up something special for the rest of my week off from work.
Shortly, I'm picking up my niece whose visiting with my parents, she wants to see WALL-E. Movie prices are ridiculous these days. Stop talking gas hikes and let's talk ticket prices. Uggh!
Catch up with y'all at the shispering pines later.
Speaking of pines, did you know that the White Pine is Ontario's provincial tree. Oh yeah!

I know that the season is gettting closer, because I just got done canning applesauce, with June apples. Got 15 quarts done today!! Yipppeee. Am whipped, though. I think I will be dreaming of apples tonight! The weekend was nice and warm....not too hot, and the week is suppose to be the same. Hope everyone has a good week!!
Home canned apple sauce...now that woke me up! Yummy!!!! :smile:
Good morning Christmas nuts! We are now OVER 2/3 of the way back to Christmas! Times a flyin! We are having perfect weather here...low 80's w/ not much humidity, it's hard to believe for July! Sounds like it's going to come to an end though by the end of the week...back up to the 90's & humid, so I better enjoy it while I can! :grin:
You all have a great day!!

Good Morning, Friends!
Rise and shine to another Terrific Tuesday.
Why "Terrific"? Why not? It brings us another day closer to our Christmas Season!
Days to the Season: 121
Days to Christmas Day: 163
Sunny and calm today with our temp standing at 70.
The high is supposed to remain below 90 today with lower humidity.
No rain for the next few days.
(Let's get that outside work done!)
OK, here is the photo I snapped in Wintergreen last Saturday.
Was waiting with my trusty Kodak camera close to the hummingbird feeder (they will let you get within about 2-3 feet of them!) when I saw the chance to take this one.
The hummingbird had been feeding when the bumble bee moved in. The hummingbird backed off and hovered, waiting for another opportunity.
(I was lucky and snapped the photo when the bird's wings were fully back. Otherwise, they would have just been a blur!)
Have a great day, everyone.
