Here in North-Central Ohio....the weather is nice, clear skies, just a bit of breeze, temp in the mid to upper 50s, maybe even lower 60s. T-shirt weather. Made our monthly trip to Amish Country (which isn't all that far from our house...just the next county over) to buy our month's supplies of cheese and baking goods. Spent $45 and came home with 10 pounds of high quality cheese (2 pounds each of Baby Swiss, Colby, Marble, Hot Pepper and Horseradish cheese), 5 pounds of sugar, 5 pounds of quick cook oats, 1 pound of extra rich Dutch cocoa powder, half pound of ground cinnamon, 1 pound of dried minced onion, 4 ounces of celery seed, 3 4-ouce tubs of cookie sprinkles, 2 pounds of powdered sugar, 1 pound of whole jumbo cashews ($3.65 for a pound...how cheap is that?!?!?!), 2 dozen fresh brown eggs. I think that was it. All of that for $45.....couldn't even buy the cheese at the grocery store for less than $55.
Was heading home and decided to go slower than the 55 mile per hour speed limit...I was doing 35 to 40. No one behind me. Just took my time, checking out the scenery....farmers out harvesting their crops of corn and soy beans, kids riding their bikes, people getting in a last motorcycle ride for the year, a few people washing their cars. Dogs and horses and cows and donkeys basking in the sun. Had the windows down, the radio up and playing country music. I was wearing my camoflague Chevy ball cap and favorite pair on $1 sunglasses. A cold 20 ounce Dr. Pepper tucked into the center cup holder. Saw a couple low flying GA aircraft....Cessnas of some sort most likely...really couldn't say for sure...so many of the modern GA aircraft look the same to me. A few kites were flying as well...one was WAAAAAY up there.
Yep, today has been a great day....and it's only 2:15 Ohio time....so still some hours to go yet. So I am going to do something I rarely do....shut my computer OFF....and just relax, enjoy the sun, maybe even take the dogs out for a nice session of fetch before the snows come calling. Yeah... me, my dogs and their newspaper toy...sounds like a good plan to me.
