We had great weather and did some fun things. Earlier Totty and I joined the Parlangelis for a pleasant autumn walk along the road into the compound.
We took a drive to the tip of the Thumb, I call it the Thumbnail, and along the way stopped in Port Hope at a great hardware store where we looked at some interesting metal sculptures and bought some lovely smelling soap. We drove on and visited charming and quaint and prosperous Port Austin; it's a mystery why Port Sanilac hasn't changed. I believe that soon the balance will tip and progress will happen. Some cities struggle a while before moderate and controlled growth can happen; I think change is inevitable though. After Port Austin we stopped at a great local grocery store for dinner ingredients, then on to Bad Axe for lunch at the Peppermill.
Lake Huron has gone down considerably since when Kathy visited. Notice the difference between where Warhol is standing and where Jon and Tracy are. The young will tree was surrounded by water last visit and this time is barely in the water. My two islands are starting to re-emerge from the water which the geese seem to like. Does the piece of driftwood look more like a horse, camel, giraffe, or is it just driftwood?
Later we walked through Westwood and had apple cider and rum in the pines daydreaming of thinning trees and trimming branches with a saw, perhaps a chainsaw, perhaps a battery operated chainsaw! I should have had a person standing under this monstrous red pine to show scale.
