It set a record in Michigan today, 90° 
. Thankfully this heat wave is about to come to an end starting tomorrow. From the looks of the forecast this week we may be going from AC to heat all in the same week.
Made the airport run early this morning. Last few trips hub has been going back early Monday morning instead of flying out on Sunday. I like the extra time this gives us but could do without the horrendous traffic and 2 hour drive. Last time Senator Carl Levin (MI) was on his flight. I told him this morning if Carl’s on your flight tell him I really don’t like his position on granting illegals amnesty. But of course he should know this already since I am one of those who write and fax our elected officials.
Couldn’t understand why this evening at 5:00 the flag was still up on the mailbox with mail I had put in there early this morning. Duh…..earth to Elaine, it’s Columbus Day and there is NO mail. As I started walking back up the driveway I heard the honking overhead and looked up to see a flock of Canadian Geese in perfect V-formation heading south.
Just by co-incidence this evening I ran across a quote by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross mentioning the geese. Hmm first I see the geese and hours later find this quote though not searching for it. Maybe the higher powers are trying to tell me something? Hope you like the quote, it’s been added to “Today’s Quote”.

The heatwave is disappearing here too! We should be in the upper 70′s the next few days.
Love the new quote. I’ve seen a few flocks of geese fly over the last week or so. I know cool weather can’t be far behind.
Don’t feel bad about the mail..I did the same thing yesterday! Went out to mow and thought I’d *check the mail* while I was out there. lol Felt silly when I opened it and looked around to see if anyone saw me!
You know that old house did look like something that should have been in Cade’s Cove. It’s been a long time since we visited that area but it was a joy. Of course the highlight for me was seeing a mother bear and her cub trudging through the brush for berries.
Enjoy the rest of your week sweetie! (((hugs)))
It is mid spring in Australia, sunny with a late shower today and 24 Celsius (75). Last summer was record breaking in terms of average high temperatures and forecasters say we can expect this again this year.
I like the quote, the unknown enthuses me although going there has not always reaped benefits; least I can say I tried and experienced this and that. Little voice within is always urging me on into the unfamiliar, something I would not change.
Have a great week.
Elaine,
Really enjoyed the quote , and since I see God’s Hand and blessings all around me, I had to smile thinking about the treasure in little things that we see. Hope your weather levels out. Are you going to get Poco a winter sweater to wear? Hope that you all have a great week!
Love and hugs,
Beth
I believe in amnesty I suppose, because in the end I would rather give people the benefit of the doubt for the most part and be wrong at times than live with the converse.
I love seeing the geese flying in their V shapes. Yesterday, I saw 3 red-tailed hawks flying right outside my office window here in Boston.
Kimmy – can you believe it’s now 48! Brrr, had to turn the furnace on today. But the blast of cold air feels wonderful!
Ottavio - sounds like beautiful spring weather in your part of the world. If your summer is anything like ours…expect hot again!
Beth – little Poco did not like the cold weather this morning, in fact I had to catch him and put him back outside. This afternoon I was at Pet Smart and bought him a little fleece and a tee shirt.
Laoch - I have no problem with anyone who wants to come to this country, after all my ancestors came here too. I do have a problem with it done illegally though.
Rhea - wow!what a sight that must have been. Bet you wish you had a camera handy.
“Who tells them the seasons? How do we, humans know when it is time to move on?” .. I love the quote, Elaine.
Sigmund Freud or philosophers could have a fun day ‘analyzing’ this poem.
Hope the weather has started to cool down there.
Take care ~ Annita
