Sept. 22nd
Joe Brian decided I ought to get out of the house. He's been into town for groceries and errands. I'd worked hard on the pond, and bringing in fishies. Time for a drive. Off we went. The plan was to get to Narrows Locks, look for birds, and then have lunch in Newboro.
First job, to fill the gas tank.
Rideau Ferry is very quiet.
Our goal was to go to Narrows Lock, and look for birds. We approached the traffic circle, the bane of Joe's driving existence, and realized we'd need a plan B.
It is a pretty town.
I walked into Kilborn's store while Joe Brian had his sorbet outside. There was a small dog who ran at me. It launched itself at me, straining at the leash barking. It scared everyone who was shopping. I had a moment, after yelling out in shock! There was a baby in a carrier who was startled, too. Everyone was shocked. I began shopping and realized I was going to have an anxiety attack if I didn't leave. Shopping over.
It is a region filled with bodies of water. The Newboro Marina was fairly quiet.

A lovely outing - excepting the incident of the dog in the shop... YAM xx
Oh gosh, I'm sorry that a dog did that. My Hannah sees a new person and immediately wants to be with any new person. I'm working on that.
It looks like you guys had a pretty decent trip so far.
It’s good to repeat our trips yearly or something like that.They are part of the cycle of our lives.
Apart from the dog incident, which sounds absolutely awful and would have fully freaked me out, it sounds like a terrific day. I love getting out like that but it doesn't usually happen with Rick (unless a bicycle is involved and then it's not really a together thing!)
Plan B sounds good. Too bad about the dog.
You look very pretty for your outing, I'm sorry the dog barked like that. That would stress me out, too.
Bummer about not getting to the Narrows. I dislike roundabouts. Also don't do well in crowded shopping. But got you out of the house.
Sounds like a really nice relaxing outing (well except for the trarffic that is).
Sorry to hear the dog scared you. People need to be more careful with their dogs. Looks like a good trip though.
We need surprises to make life interesting.
Goodness what a scary incident with the dog!!!
Apart from that it sounds a good day and I enjoyed your photographs.
All the best Jan
Nice to get all cleaned up and head out for an adventure! You look great. That dog, though. Needs to be left at home! That had to be upsetting.
