Signs

The delayed February edition of the Kent Deanery Clericus met on Tuesday this week and continued the meeting over lunch in Thamesville at a local watering hole cum restaurant.  One of my favourite signs is in the women's rest room there, so I thougt I would try my camera sans flash.  It actually worked well, I am getting good at remembering to change the settings.

Saturday was a great day to get some shopping done; and as I drove by the park at the Petrolia Discovery I noticed a couple playing hockey on Bear Creek.  This is a great little rink.  A few years ago, one of the service groups put up a light for evening play; after every snowfall, the ice is cleared.  There is one 'rink' with a couple nets tossed on to it, and one without.  The above picture is a young woman and her beau--she was not the novice.

Things to do on a cold day.

1.  Take a picture of the gloves you bought yesterday; one pair for your friend (who won't get them until well after the Olympics.

2.  Take a picture of the icicle growing outside the door.  (This is an amazing icicle, as Mike is very fussy about the eaves trough.  For those fans, there are two rows of beautiful parsnips that did not get dug up before the ground froze solid, we will have a sweet feast in the spring.

 

3.  Go to the grocery store and buy a huge bag of jalapeno peppers languishing on the half price table.  clean them, slice them and put them into clean jars.  Then pour the same brine as for dill pickles (without the dill) into the jars, seal them up and let them sit for a couple of weeks.  That'll warm you up.  By the way, the safety glasses and gloves are not photo props, but used; gloves are inside-out because I am actually capable of learning.
