Pinery - Remembering the Summer Part One

I haven't been in a very verbal mood lately (probably due to my netflix coma!)...

I really wanted to share some images from my trip to Pinery Provincial Park  with you all....

before the memory of summer is so distant that I long to remember the feel of the sun on my skin....

and before the peaceful Ontario countryside is covered with a white layer of the cold stuff... 

 there were beautiful drives through the country....

 There was a lot of rain too.........

 And cool, mysterious nights....

 Mornings by the fire...

Camping Breakie of champs ;)

 BEACH!

 Home Sweet Home in the woods.... (aka. temporary Utopia)

 Heaven...

 Beauty...

 Reflection...

 There was once a forest fire.... created these dramatic, fantastic lines...

 Buddy....

 and Buggy! :)

Amazing Fungi  - looks like it should be under the sea!

 Jamaica in Ontario...

Lake Huron's beautiful sandy shores....

More summer images to come!

Fresh Start?

 

In my last post I expressed the desire to start anew, flip over the 'ol mattress of my mind & open up the windows to let the light in.  So to speak.

Yeah. I'm having issues with that.

Whilst my blog has taken on a clean, crisp & new appearance, my mind didn't get the memo & has instead remained in it's prior state of wallowing in it's own self-repugnance.

This morning at the Orthapedic clinic I felt myself sinking into a cesspool of jealousy (the very feeling that I am trying to STOP feeling) when realizing that I was the only 'be-crutched' patient in the whole clinic who had to come in alone, had no coffee or tea for the wait (carrying hot liquids on crutches is bad to one's health, I have discovered this week) AND, to add insult to injury, Twitter was virus-ed (like, when does that EVER happen?) just in my time of emotional need & vulnerability.

This left me wondering; How on EARTH did I get by before my tweeties?

Oh - and I also had this long & wonderful post typed out about how I downloaded BlogPress for my iPhone and will thusly be blogging much more often.... and then my phone glitched and I lost the whole damn thing.

AND all that was BEFORE the appointment, during which my poor knee was made to bend & twist in ways I try to avoid when I'm NOT injured.... and also before I was told that I may wind up having to have a scope surgery to investigate further what's wrong with my knee. 

So for today I'll leave it at this... I'm going to crawl into my fuzzy bathrobe, under my fuzzy blanket & try and keep my mind in fuzzy, warm thoughts.

And maybe tomorrow I'll have another fresh start.
