Trip to Carleton Place

 Friday, July 31st

I needed a haircut. It feels better! I am in my Pink period! This is the before and after! Nice and tidy. 



Going through town is nice, but not the day before a long weekend! This was Friday, and Monday is a holiday. The court house was pretty quiet.



Corn is a good size:


The lakes and rivers are full.

Kayaking, boating, swimming, paddling...

People were enjoying the day.

Here we are!
Joe waited in the car, under the tree, but it got too hot. 


This is a huge flag!



Off we went to Almonte for a patio lunch... more on that later.


This guy's car looked so sad! I smudged his licence plate.

A new home... it's not crooked. I was a bit tilted.

This guy passed us, and the car in front, and then turned left not too far up the road. I don't think they pay these gig workers well enough. If they can't do their work safely...  
 

I like Carleton Place. I looked at the Waterfront Gastropub has a live webcam this morning! It is pouring as much here as there. We've had rain since Saturday. About 53 mm (about 2") so far (the 3rd day of August!), and the storm isn't done. Garbage is out, though. A raincoat was required. Coffee in hand, the week begins, excepts it is a long weekend. We'll hunker down. Hope you have a good one.

    So neat how the clouds outlined the trees in the last photo. Your hair cut looks so nice and it really enhances the beauty of your eyes. Great photos of some beautiful places...

    That live web cam is good for checking out the bridge lights, or it would be if I ever thought to look at it.

    Your hair is pretty in the before & after! My grays are so blah. Rain in August, is that the norm?

    You look great with your hair and your pink top Jenn.The van driver is a bit scary to say the least. I like that you have a web cam in your car. Very enjoyable out and about photos.

    The haircut looks great. I note the cutter is in Perth. So is mine.

    Lookin' good, baby!
    I haven't cut my hair in many months, since well before my friend Bev, who usually cut it, died in January. But I can't stand it in my face, so have taken to wearing a neck-warmer as a hair band a la Keith Richards. Handy! But I don't know how long it can go on. -Kate
