Number one, like yourself.
Number two, you have to eat healthy.
And number three, you’ve got to squeeze your buns.
That’s my formula.

Porte Ponderings:

Just returning from a 4 day trip to Tobermory.

This juvenile bald eagle sat atop a huge cedar across Hay Bay and waited for almost an hour before flying away the moment we weren’t paying attention.

The black bears were traveling in pairs during mating season so we didn’t do very much walking.

We did have a break in the weather on a rainy day to take kayaks out to see the sunken ship at the mouth of the bay. My kayak had a toad in it that decided to jump kayak after jumping up on me and giving me a start. I tried to get her to wait until we were closer to shore, but plop, out she went into the bay. If my niece hadn’t given us a guided tour I never would have seen the ship parts on the bottom. The parts blended in so well to the rocks below.
