Or Toto or a witch on a bicycle or a cow to go flying by! It is so so so windy here in Michigan (smack dab in the center of the mitten) last night, today and now ... wish I had a wind speed measuring thing .... called a ???????
Cold rainy and windy ... we never even left the coach today other than brief (read very brief out of necessity) outings with Sir Arlo. I was at .... ready ... hold on for the shock ............ at my sewing machine from 10:30 this morning until about 30 minutes ago - with only brief breaks for meals/snacks and Judge Judy .... notice I didn't mention breaks for adult beverages?!?!?! So, rain, cold and wind make for productivity .... (no cell service, no long walks, no Arlo play time .... but productivity!!)
Yup, another sunset photo .... taken from here at Leisure Lakes in Sumner, MI - one of the nicest campgrounds we've been at lately - pretty much deserted (they close for the season in two days), large grassy sites, wonderful owner and staff, peace and quiet and a nice (man made) lake .... paradise for me! We arrived here last Thursday (I think).
Saturday we spent the day with Larry, Sheila and Donni. We started at Uncle John's Cider Mill - the joke of the trip was that, unbeknownst to any of us, it was "kid's weekend" there! We survived it - perhaps thanks to the wine tasting, who knows. Even Arlo was on best behavior in spite of all the activity around him!
After that we toured the local sights, visited with Larry's Mom (our Trisha's Grandmother), had lunch and headed out to their home on Clifford Lake ... oh my word what a property ~ my dream property ~ a place on a lake ... especially this time of year, so quiet and peaceful. We went out in (on??) their pontoon boat for a terrific relaxing trip around the lake until we figured out that Sir Arlo wasn't pacing pacing pacing pacing pacing and pacing some more because he was afraid ~ rather because he had consumed half the lake and was now in distress!! Poor poor Sir .... There are some photos of him on the boat, but they are on Rick's phone .... hmmmmmm gotta load them onto iphoto I guess huh!
Tomorrow is predicted to be a repeat of today - cold, rainy, windy ...... but I don't think Rick can take two days in a row without social contact (Arlo and I don't count as "social contact") so I suspect we'll be out somewhere ... probably to check out the Moose Lodge down the road a bit ... we are, hopefully, headed up to the Upper Peninsula (with Larry and Sheila as tour guides - you guys rule ~ might want to consider it as a retirement job!!!) this weekend (before we head south) but the campground we are at closes on Wednesday and they've agreed to let us stay until Thursday (!!!!!!) so we need to find a place to be from Thursday until Monday or Tuesday ... Larry and Sheila have a neighbor whose property could work for us, or the Elks in Alma or this Moose we need to check out and make a "plan" .... we shall see.

Is it an anonimeter? My engineer car-poolers were discussing it today. One of them used to design windmills.
