out and about

I've been driving around a lot lately, back on the way back roads, and I've been seeing some wonderful things:

I don't think I ever saw that windmill. I used to do a lot of driving along the back roads near the south shore at one time.

I love that bell. Do you know what it's from?

I've never seen that windmill either. Where is it?

Seeing nice things in the winter softens the edge of it eh!

Witchypoo, Shelagh - It's about a half-kilometer off of the 103, on Italy Cross Road. If you're ever down this way I'll take you to it!

Ree - I don't know, but I'll try to find out for you! It was on the ground outside of a graveyard, but I'm not sure if it was the old church bell or what....

I like the red building too. I bet if you're inside, you can hear the creek flowing by.

take me! We've limited roads, not a whole lot to explore.

Whole lot of nothing going on

Last week, I got covid. For the third time, and this one was unpleasant in ways that I don't really want to talk about. (Life tip: NO ...
