I am open to everything that
helps me on my path.The new shelves are in the greenhouse. Now I get to fill them.
Next, I ordered a new stand mixer to make my sourdough bread. Stokes has their annual sale. Delivery is free so no need to make a road trip into London. The mixer has a 7L bowl so I’ll be able to make 2 loaves at a time. 😉

It’s where all the fruit is.~ Shirley MacLaine
Actress and singer
Born on: 24th April 1934Porte Ponderings:
Our new motorcycle helmets were in, so we went to pick them up. Mine was at Hully Gully. The staff at the Parts desk wasn’t very attentive. The first guy was too busy to even tell us where the washroom was. The second guy didn’t usually work with accessories. Finally he called someone who could help. She was excellent. She changed the shield for me and helped me ensure the helmet was a good fit.
Rockies’ Harley Store was a different story. The lady at the counter helped us with the helmet and we decided the 3/4 face we had ordered wasn’t for my husband (He has too big of a head and they didn’t make them in 3X). She helped find another type that was the right size and fit comfortably. The price was twice of mine, but my husband is very happy with his helmet.

I can harness positive emotions
to create a deeper good.Ending struggles, finding common ground or solutions, reaching agreements, compromise, cooperation, peace and harmony.
The only failures

If only we had a leader like Lester B. Pearson now. Someone who could negotiate a peaceful agreement in the Middle East. Someone to put an end to this senseless bombing and killing.
On my walk this morning I met one of my ex-supervisors and friends, Joan Mavrovich. She looks so young, trim and healthy. She and her husband still walk everyday, rain, snow or sunshine.

I am planting new seeds and I am
willing to learn how to grow them.Figuratively and literally. I love starting my plants in my little greenhouse. Harold is building a new shelf for me that will almost double the amount of space for my seedlings. Of course it cost twice as much as buying one, but it will be custom made with love. ❤

Today there is a lot of hoopla over the solar eclipse. As usual, we probably won’t see this once in a lifetime event due to clouds 😦
Too many people in powerful positions have closed too many roads today for fear of the crowds. I can’t even drive to my own trailer because the road will be closed by the Municipality. Ridiculous. As far as I’m concerned this is an unnecessary use of political power and restriction of freedom.
It reminds me of the overstepping during COVID restrictions where property owners weren’t permitted to go to their cottages, but the Provincial Premier went to his.
I am moving towards my goals
with passion and enthusiasm.
