I'MMMMMMMMMM BACK

Well I finally got my camera bag upstairs and near the computer to upload or download which ever it is to the computer... another long time without photos but they are here...

October 10, 2009

Finally my oak tree is changing into its fall colors... it seems to be the last one every year to start and finish.....

October 11, 2009
I travel around Carron Point Road almost every day to see if I could catch some geese in the fields and most times I don't see any... but I did notice this old barn through the trees today... in all the times I have driven by I never noticed it before... guess the trees and their leaves were covering it up... I do love old buildings...

October 12, 2009
My dogs live on dry dog food... but every third day of so I give them some wet stuff... Carl says it could be food for us it looks so good.... this morning I was working on Christmas Cards and hear this sniffing sound coming out of the kitchen... I had to go in to see what was going on... Kodak was so into his food that he was not coming up to breath.... I guess it was that good....

October 13, 2009
I never noticed that I had another flower still bloom in the garden besides Autumn Joy... I have no idea what it is... a neighbor down the road gave it to me... but it has the prettiest pink flowers on it...

October 14, 2009
I have driven the road from here to Moncton many times and several trees have caught my eye as in the oddness of them so as I was coming home from taking Janice down I had to stop and snap a few of them.. this tree towered over all around but only had the top part of it growing...

October 15, 2009

A day I got lucky to find some geese in the water along Carron Point Road....

October 16, 2009
I had to take this one... it just reminded me of an old cane that a giant placed against the tree and forgot to pick it up as he left... ok yes I have an imagination...

October 17, 2009
This was suppose to be a where is this one but not going to do it... I have driven by the old post office for weeks watching as the vines turn to their fall colors and I always said I have to come back to get a photo of it ... well I finally did... and I am glad I did because a few days of wind and I would not have gotten this picture.... I am slow at things at times...

October 18, 2009
So the camera was in the dining room... it was getting closer to the bedroom and the computer... it was the end of the day and I was finishing up mom and dad's Christmas Cards... and I didn't take a photo yet that day.... so guess what... I took the pile of cards that I will be sending out in a couple of weeks... so family check your mail box I am sure there will be one there for you....

October 19, 2009
Drove into town and was surprised to seen that the city actually took the time to decorate around the center of town ... just surprised that I didn't notice it before ... like around Thanksgiving because I am sure that it was there then....

October 20, 2009
Fall colors around the old wharf just off from the mill wharf....

October 21, 2009
Yet another odd looking tree in my travels...

October 22, 2009
Went to put the dogs out and got a surprise... it was snowing... first snow of the year but it didn't stay around for very long... was some glad Carl took the car up last week end for the winter tires...

October 23, 2009
After three weeks of putting it off and waiting for a decision to be made by the other person that lives here... I finally got all my painting done.. not all that happy with the end results but it is done...

October 24, 2009
I finally have my washer and drier back up and running.... though I just noticed when I was getting this picture ready to be posted that I forgot to put the light cover on... hmmm I guess I know what I am going to be doing when I am done here....

October 25, 2009
For the last several years I have been setting my Christmas table with Christmas dishes and always thinking it was never complete but could never find flat ware for the table and dealt with it.... so Saturday night Carl wanted to go into CT for an air freshener for the jeep... (that is a totally different story all together but not telling about it) so while he was looking for that you know I headed to the Seasonal department... I missed one aisle thought I would be back another time and went off to look for Carl... well of course I couldn't find him so I thought okay I have time to look down the other aisle... and right at the beginning of it on the top of the shelves was you got it FLATWARE... I took them down and looked at them.. did the awww thing because they are beautiful... then looked up and said oh my god you have got to be kidding me... there is no way I am getting these... then I noticed that it was a set of 12 which made me reason out in this little mind of mine that it was not all that bad after all, but I put them back knowing that a set of 12 just wouldn't be enough for the table which meant I had to get two sets... and guess what there was only two sets there.... Carl found me as I was walking out of the aisle and I had to show him what I found...I was also thinking while I was showing him that I had not bought a set of dishes in a few years so could that count as well... only if he doesn't say that I had to give one set of the three sets I have home away... we talked about it and decided that I would come home get the CT money I had here and then pay the balance... but as we neared the check out I looked at him and said... what happens if there is someone else looking for flatware tonight and I come back and they are not there.... so you know who came home with the set of flatware that night... ohhhh corrections TWO sets... And I say this with a smile on my face... Yes I am spoiled... I know it and at times very proud that I am.. .he he ...

October 26, 2009
I was totally shocked last week when I was going up to Pow Wow for dinner to see that they are tearing down the mall...

October 27, 2009
After weeks of driving by this field there is some geese in it ... and I did take lots of photos of then and was going to the car when something caught my eye... a surprise visitor ... I couldn't be more excited to get this and several other photos of the deer with the geese....

Well I will not say I will try to get back sooner then this time because I actually took longer then that last so I will just say see you when I get back...Have a good one All.... Joanne

16 days.... Did you Miss me???? HA HA

Well this has been the worst it has been... 16 days and not a photo posted... now I understand when the article I read about this project said don't let time passed too much before posting...

Today when I drove in the yard after a morning partly on the computer doing some work I offered to do for Pat and a trip with mom to my second favorite store, yes people the Dollar Store has dropped in the ratings... after getting a chance to do the tour of the Great Canadian Dollar Store a few weeks back... but it is an hour away so this morning mom and I took a trip to the dollar store just to get out for a bit and to do something... of course it still cost me... I am beginning to not like these stores at all.... they cost me....

When we returned home our sweet dad had lunch made for us... thanks dad it was great...

Anyway I decided that before I get into the work again or on to facebook and do the farmville or town I was posting my photos...

So I am 16 days behind... and most days I have left the camera sitting on the kitchen floor as I walk out only to return and snap something going on in my house or yard... So you will see a lot of my yard as it welcomes the fall colors with open arms...

September 24, 2009

You see the smile on that brat's face... about 1 hour after it was taken I am sure that it was bigger as I lead her into the car... as she still has not learned yet that going in MY car means two things ... groomers or vet... it was the groomer that day... I am so bad...but my heart almost...broke when I heard the two of them crying out as I left them behind... Carl now me... those poor puppies someone she call dogging welfare on us LOL... I said it almost broke....

September 25, 2009

(warning the next photos is gross ... well to me but I took it anyway... what can I say)

Driving down St. Peter Avenue a truck passed me just before the light and of course like usual I stop and wait for the light and not really paying attention until I think the light is going to change when I am face to face with this ugly dead beast... the tongue hanging out... way to gross ....

September 26, 2009

Okay on the weekend of the 12th I was down to see Robin and Amanda... I think it was Tuesday that I get a call after being told that the baby was being a girl and suffering really bad with all this pink in my life since I really don't like this color what so ever but even though I have not personally met Mia yet I love her way too much not to make a few knitted things for her arrival... like a pink blanket... a sweater so she can come home from the hospital with... hmmmm mitts, hats, socks... but that Tuesday Robin calls with the oh oh in our life... Mia which I love the name by the way... reserve it for the next one... turned into a Caleb... unless they changed their mind on the name and have not told me about it... yet any way... so this is the pretty pink sweater set minus the socks.... that made for Mia...

September 27, 2009

I have no idea what the name of these flowers were.. but they were so beautiful a good part of the summer with the bright reds and pinks they displayed.... and as they fade away into death they remain still beautiful in the winter of their life...

September 28, 2009

Though some of the flowers are fading away.... others remain to exhibit their bright colors... almost to the end when the snow covers them....

September 29, 2009

Well I am back into painting well so I thought... this is the color it was with the doors removed and all ready to be painted... I picked a color called Pumpkin dessert even though I would not put a ounce of that dessert near my lips...

September 30, 2009

And this is the color it is now... loving it... but that was the 30th and today is the 9th and guess what it is still not done... why well two reasons I can't move the washer and drier on my own and last weekend we were busy and then forgot to move it before Carl went back to work so it remains... where it is at the moment... thank God Pat is having us in for Thanksgiving this year... I am not in a panic.. .maybe it will be done for Christmas... he he

October 01, 2009

Took a drive down country and what do I find along the way... ohhhh yes another old building showing it age through the wear and tear of it... love these things...

October 02, 2009
Another trip to the ducks just to watch them and got this photo... the ducks were dumped for this day and the seagulls won the day .... but didn't get anything from me... since I still have not went to pick up some cracked corn for the ducks... I am so mean to the seagulls.. but they have MacDonalds he he...

October 03, 2009

I am not sure if it was Carl or I that took this photo because the both of us were playing with the camera that night... but it is in a church as most of you must realize... we were down to celebrate 50 years of the Salesian Nuns being in Canada... just too cool of a photo not to put in here....

October 04, 2009

This afternoon I was on the photo with Janice my cousin talking while I was sitting at the computer and as I turned my chair around while we were talking this is the sight I took it... ohhhh totally amazing... how I love the autumn and its colors... how thankful I have this sight each and every day of this time of the year.. can't imagine living somewhere else that doesn't....

October 05, 2009

So after the pink was done I thought lets do another one that a little boy would wear... the first of this pattern was not done right... I was missing a knitted row which make it very different from what it was suppose to be... so as I started to finish it off I noticed that I did make a few mistakes but I never claimed to be a great knitter just that I could knit...and when it was totally finished... which meant I had it all sewed up... and ready to display... I noticed something else I did wrong... I put the neck on backwards... I really hope this band works...

October 06, 2009
This is a rose bush that I have been passing every day I go up to may parents... actually I was not really sure what it was for awhile until I actually stopped to look at it... it is at my parent's neighbor's place.. it is a rose bush... I don't think I have ever seen one that high that was not a climbing one... so I finally stopped and took a photo of it...

October 07, 2009

Of course there had to be a picture of the ducks since I do pass this place quite often on my way back for west.. .since I would rather go this way instead of through the streets light of town...

October 08, 2009

Well today you are getting a special... 2 for the price of one...

My mom who I know most of the family has not seen a photo of her for a while... as she is talking with Yvette and Flo...

And dad as he sits enjoying the humor that mom is spinning out.... it was a good day .... always love those days....

October 09, 2009

Well I wanted to post the photos of my parents yesterday but I also had this bird in the yard.... there was no tossing of a coin here to see who would win... but I was in luck it was back this afternoon as I was driving in the yard... it has a bad leg.. because yesterday he hobbled area all the time it was here... today since the dogs were not out barking their heads off at it... it stayed quite still and I watched it as it walked again into the woods before letting the brats out...

Well that was a long one... both with photos and words... I will try a little harder to get back here sooner but then I have already said that before and it has not worked... so I am not going to try any more.. maybe I will surprise you all...

Have a great one all... Joanne

Mother Nature at Her Best!!!

You miss me???? I know it has been awhile but every time I think of doing this I am either into something else or the camera is in the backseat of the car so I have it with me at all times because there has been some times that I actually missed out on some photos...

It is fall and the wonderful colors are showing up more and more each day... today Pat and I went out for dinner and up to the falls.. the salmon are in the pools but not jumping yet... I guess that means I am going to have to get up there in the morning some day and see if I can capture one of the jumping the falls.... in all the years that I have tried to get one jumping I have only got one photo with an older camera... maybe I will have some luck this time....

Correction here it was not a grey heron it is a blue heron and the reason why I am telling you this ... I have been seeing lots of them around this year... and actually getting photos of them....

September 12, 2009

Robin at his place... was done to visit on the weekend.. and he was working at getting his patio fixed up from rotten boards... he does do more then computers he he...

September 13, 2009

Ran away for a little while to take some photos and came across this cow.. the first photo its head was behind the post but almost like on cue it moved it so I could take a better photo of it...

September 14, 2009

The sky was very clear that day and I just couldn't help but take a photo of this... looks like a brush stroke from an artist's painting....

September 15, 2009

I didn't get too many roses this year and was surprised a few mornings ago when I looked out my bedroom window to see this last of the season on the vine... so you know I had to go out and take a photo of it as I was heading out to town....

September 16, 2009

Yet another old building I found on my driving around and had to snap a photo of it....

September 17, 2009

I was out at the garden and when I was walking back up I notices these flowers... I was totally amazed they had not did anything all winter and come the fall they are just beautiful...

September 18, 2009

We were talking in the dining room when Carl said what just flew by... of course my back was to the window and I had no idea... he went and looked out the window to find yet another Blue Heron in our garden... I was lucky to get this photo because as soon as I started to snap the next door neighbors came down their driveway with their 4 wheeler and the bird flew away....

September 19, 2009

Another stop off at the ducks to feed and watch them for a while... it is so relaxing to watch them float around the river....

September 20, 2009

I took a photo of this tree before in the spring time... the two and one... was around today to see what it was like after a summer's growth... kind of cool looking

September 21, 2009

Another trip down to Carron Point and to stop for yet another photo of a blue heron....they look for gracefully... standing and when they fly away...

September 22, 2009

Another old building along the way home... never stopped to take a photo because there was always traffic behind me until today....

September 23, 2009

Maple tree in the middle of everything... as I said was up to the Falls with Pat this afternoon... I can't believe the water is so low... it is the lowest in years I have been told... that is good I can get closer to get hopefully some photos of jumping salmon...

Have a great one all.... Joanne

9 Days... I guess I wasn't all that fast getting back here *Sign*

Yvette, Carl always called the flower these berries come from wild hosta but I found out that they are not even close... they are the berries that come from the May Flower... Love the May flower in the spring and the berries in the fall... they are not eatable...

This week it has been a lot of I am on my way home but end up turning left then right and ending up getting home an hour or so later then I thought I was...one of my favorite places this time of the year is around the Basin where the ducks are... of course I bought some crack corn to feed them but took it over to mom and dad's to give them some and ended up forgetting it on top of the fridge and I still have not picked it up so I have been on the mercy of others that come and visit them...

September 03, 2009

Some one threw a piece of bread into the water and this little fellow went flying to get it ...

September 04, 2009

I have been playing with the setting on my camera for the first time since I got it over a year ago... thank you Jill... after cleaning out my cupboard I actually found my book on the camera now to get to them to sit down and read up on all these setting and see what I am going to come up with next....

September 05, 2009

There are many days I have driven by this tree and thought of it was a little odd so I finally took the time to take a photo... it doesn't show it in the photos but the tree is very tall but that is about all that is on the tree.. all the rest is gone...

September 06, 2009
Another wild flower turning to seed... I have no idea what it was... but I thought it was kind of cool when I came across it...

September 07, 2009

Another night with the ducks... the only thing there is no ducks... I just thought the reflection was cool and took the photo...

September 08, 2009

Two nights in a row at the ducks... this rock is the one I took several years ago during the spring time... when the ice was all around it and the sun was shining oh so perfect... I only had my sandels on but there is a series of rocks that I would like to snap so I do have to go back with my sneakers on... to do it .. I have to climb down a bank to get to it... the river is filled with down as the ducks wandr around this area....

Septembr 09, 2009

Grey Heron Crane... as I was driving up to west for something or other and what was sitting in the harbour... I have to say I am very happy about the little parking lot that they made allow the back of the Fed Building for us to park and picnic tables along the way so we can walk or sit or take photos...

September 10, 2009

Mom and I were at the Dollar Store and I found some scare crows so you know that I came home with several of them.. I only came home with one of them the others are in mom's flower beds... she is enjoying them...

September 11, 2009

Another one of those nights that I turned left instead of right and came home with this photo... what can I say... sun sets and clouds besides getting eaten alive while I was taking them.. which reminds me when I head out to Moncton tomorrow I will have to stop and pick up some new jeans... just hoping that I lost enough to say I am once again into a new smaller size.... *smiling at the thought of it*

Have a great weekend... I am while I enjoy my time with Robin and Amanda... Joanne
