Another Rainy Day In Paradise

Early to rise today as Matthew is at day camp this week at YMCA Wanakita and the bus stop is a half hour drive from the cottage.


Then off to Minden for a few chores - of course a mandatory stop at Home Hardware to look at deck preparation and staining supplies... I manage to get out on the cheap side with a gallon of "eco friendly" deck cleaner/prep solution and a colour chart for the stains we need to choose for the deck and house.

A stop at the Minden Hills municipal offices to talk about replacing the missing "Bacon Road" signs at the turnoff for our cottage proves unnecessary as someone has beat me to it and they are already on order! Then a drop off for Purolator to courier to Peterborough a well water test sample to see just how much if any metals are in the drinking water - I am concerned as there is much talk of Uranium in some of the Haliburton wells.

From there driving back to the cottage i find about a dozen Ford Model A's (circa 1928) parked all down main street Kinmount - a good photo opp.

Finally back to the cottage and I get going on the ongoing Bunkie reno project.
A mid afternoon bike ride up the road brings me face-to-face with two deer - well maybe the same one twice!

Finally a bit of R&R reading before driving back to the bus stop with deb to pick up Matt.

Another rainy day in Paradise...
