Isn't this the most pitiful sight you have ever seen?

What do you think is wrong with poor old Molly?  Well seeing the bath towels there should give you a hint.  I had to haul her upstairs for a shower and she knows that's what's going to happen.  She won't go upstairs with me when I have my dressing gown on, as she knows what's going to happen, so I have to carry her upstairs!  What you don't see from that photo is how she is shaking.  Its a pitiful sight, it truly is, and it wouldn't be so bad, but it's all over in 15 minutes at the most.  I don't know, I have tried reasoning with her, that it's for her own good, as the shampoo I use eases the itchiness on her skin, but that doesn't make her feel any better!!!  I can't win.

Then when I let her out of the bathroom, she runs around the house, rolling around on any rug that we have down, quite a funny thing to watch.  As I am typing this she is sitting beside me, and I have to admit, she smells worse now than before, as wet dog smells worse than a dry dog if you ask me....LOL

On Sunday afternoon I was sitting sewing and looked up to see the two horses and wagon going over the field.  By the time I had grabbed my camera this was the only photo I had chance to take before they went behind the trees.

While I was outside I took a random photo of a Chickadee at the bird feeder.

Dh worked Sunday morning.  After church I went to get my grocery shopping, so we both arrived in the house within minutes of one another.  After a late lunch dh went to do some electrical in our bedroom, while I sat and sewed.

The sun was shining and it was above freezing I am sure in the sun.  It felt like a Spring day; however when you are reading this on Monday the snow should be coming down AGAIN!!!

Did you remember to put your mone in your Daily Savings Pot today?

Today's Money Saving Tip:

In the winter when the sun is shining make sure you open all your curtains/drapes, or pull up your blinds, to let the sun shine in and warm up your rooms.  Do the opposite in the summer, in the heat of the day close your curtains/drapes and blinds to keep your rooms cool.

Old Churches.....

When we were out for a drive the other day we passed a couple of old churches. I took the photos from the car, as it was bitter cold outside. The first one is at a hamlet called Alloa. I tried to find some info about the place on Google and found nothing??? Notice the shed behind the church, that is for the horse and buggies. The sad thing is there are plans for development of new subdivisions/estates on the opposite side of the road, so it will lose it's country feel eventually.



The next one is Union Presbyterian Church which I have to say is a stunning church. This one reminds me of ones back in England.



The last church is St. Lawrence Church in England where we got married (this photo was taken when we were in Britain last year). I featured more photos of the church in this post.



I love old churches......

Toronto Part II

To continue on from yesterday. The entertainment district has a lot of high rises and very modern buildings in it, including this one which is occupied by Sun Life Financial

Here is a photo of one of their buildings, they had another large one, just down the street, they must be doing well!!!

(as always, click on photo's to enlarge)

In amongst all the high rises and construction is a beautiful old church built in 1876 called St. Andrews Church.

This plaque was out front that tells you more of the history of the church.


There was also a plaque further down the street, detailing a scenic walk through parts of Toronto. I'll have to see if dh fancies doing that one day.


Here are a couple more views of the CN Tower as we were heading along the Gardiner Expressway, they were taken from the truck.


To the right is the Exhibition Place where the annual CNE is taking place at the moment.

Dd goes to the University Of Toronto, and there are some beautiful old buildings in that area, so will see if we get chance to go down there on Labour Day weekend and take a few photos.
