I COULD HANDLE THIS ALL WINTER !!

 Are you following me again?

Well, it's quite understandable why you would be

because our weather is so warm today

14 C (57 F)

You heard it right.

It feels like a record temp for us.

Now watch your step

follow the path closely

and

I'll show you 

how nice it is today.

Are you with me?

I know I'm speedy 

as in 

SUPER DOUPER DOODLE FAST

but if you want to have a great zen moment

then you must be alert 

and

stay focussed.

I said focussed.

(Ron playing with his HDR setting again)

Really does get the point across though.

 Over there

 'way over yonder

while Jim settles some work stuff at MacDonald House

I see a field

A FIELD OF LOVE

JOY 

4 legs up and over 

and 

down and out.

This is truly is my favourite grassy meadow

of all the meadows

I've ever rolled on.

Then without a moments thought

my nose is snaggled

completely drawn like an arrow in flight

over the hill

to the sights below ~~

Next time folks,

patience is a virtue

I know I have none either.

DOODLE HEART & DOODLE HAIRDO TIME

Wandering through the dune grasses the other day my

 DOODLE ANTENNAE 

started to tingle

which meant either 

I was going to visit someone

or

I was going to get a haircut.

Major hugs were coming from the usual suspects, in this case Daddy Jim.

I was so right about this feeling and before I knew it 

we were visiting ~

Mim Mim (Jim's sister) at Mills Brothers again.

She ALWAYS makes me feel super good inside

because I think she has a DOODLE HEART!

She loved my hair cut

just as much as I did. 

We laughed and squiggled all over the place.

I made a new friend there too,

a lady that works with Mim Mim.

I was quite played out after my visit at Mim Mim's clothing and beauty shop,

as my reflection shows while parked near a java joint.

I just plunked my chin on the car window sill

and breathed in the sights waiting for the trip home.

I hopped out of the car as soon as we drove into the driveway at home.

I love to check things out whenever I go away.

My hair cut always takes a day or two for me to digest

just like it does for the people too.

DOWNTOWN DOODLE FUNK

Hey folks !!

It's your FUNKY DOWNTOWN DOODLE here.

Uh, huh it's me

and

since our new library is just about to open

I thought it only fit to show you a wee bit of one end of it.

Look 'way up 

Don't tip over

Now relax and enjoy a smoother ride.

You can see white thingies in the windows

which I assume prevent birds from flying into the glass.

Fingers crossed.

The floors resemble stacked books askew.

Look everyone can help fill the library too.

Ron and Jim will be putting

stickers inside their book of choice

in memory of their mothers

after donating a wee bit to this new landmark.

Hey, Jim don't tip over.

This place is so high and all glass

and is just one street view 

more to come another time.

OK, Jimbo whattaya think ?
Need a change of pace?
Sure you do !!
Let's get movin'

JOY REALLY IS ALL THERE IS

My life is pretty much the same each day

with maybe a variation in 

destinations and ~

today was no exception 

with the guys following me through the autumn dune grasses ~

I stopped for a second and the clicking began.

Must be something about the colours and lines 

as the Dads always say.

All I know is I was blessed with blond locks

on my head and legs

and whenever the perfect moment appears

they begin their photo dance.

Even Ron plays with my colours

almost having me totally hidden in the grasses.

Mr. Orangie always gives me away though.

Jim takes the high road along the dune's edge.

Don't you love the rocks, grasses and sky,

not to mention Jimbo !?!

JOY really is all I can show you

when I reach the top of the dunes.

I truly LOVE arriving and descending upon the beach.

Jim, 

although totally covered in layers

loves this beach too,

no matter what the season offers us and ~

I agree wholeheartedly,

because to leap and bound

to run and dive

inhaling and exhaling salty air

makes us healthier 

every time we come.

TEASING & TEMPTATION

Jim ~ What are you doing?

Oh, so you are using your magic powers again.

Always teasing!

You can't get away from me,

as I have told my friends on Facebook.

'cause I am as fast as a bullet

as quick as firefly

as speedy as a comet (how appropriate).

This fellow has the whole beach to himself now,

with me heading over the grassy dunes to the car.

The perfect weather is holding it's own

which is a plus for us

because wet snow is on it's way.

I'll believe it when I see it.

I love tempting the Gods.

Teasing and Temptation

they always go hand in hand

from my perspective.

IS IT NORMAL TO BE PASSED BY PIGEONS?

The other day Ron and I decided to walk around 

the Halifax Public gardens

while Jim attended to a medical appointment nearby.

The sidewalks were littered 

with thousands upon thousands

of leaves and ~

the best chalk graffiti

by someone declaring 

their LOVE for Emily FOREVER.

Inside the gardens were sprinkled with

golden leaves

and

with plenty of empty benches

for anyone to take advantage of.

Around the 3rd corner heading down Sackville Street

I zeroed in on a delightful fragrance.

~ DOODLES having DOODLE TIME

without a care in the world ~

Could that be my mantra for the day?

I discovered this choice gate door 

which was locked

but I was more interested in the scent

attached to the bottom.

Ahhh ~ HEAVEN !

We managed to circumnavigate the perimeter

 and return to the car.

As we sat quietly 

4 people scooted by on segways

I could hear one of them ask ~

"Is it normal to be passed by pigeons?"

~~~

(turn up your volume and just listen as the 4th person scoots by)

Such is my life,

but I can tell you 

I would never let pigeons

 (spelled without a "D" for Pete's sake Ron )

pass me, 

EVER!!
