Kind of a Sad Day
Join Me for My #BeautifulSunday
Mornings Are Always Nice at the Lake
The days here in Michigan usually start off nice. Since I have been dieting, I have a HUGE increase in energy. That is a good thing, except I have been getting up around 6' ish, so I have been seeing a lot of sunrises.
Super Warm
I used to think the tree leaves began to change color because of the cooler temps. However this season has really proved that to be all wrong. The trees have been changing already, yet we are in the middle of a heatwave! I have been running the AC for days as we have been in the 90's.
Front of the house
One of the Best Things
So this pretty well sums up the day! I was doing some running around and found a penny. Yep, if I spy one, I will bend over and pick it up lol. Finding the penny was about the best of it for luck for the day!
Free Food
So we had our property owners picnic. Free food isnt all bad. Well come to think of it, it isnt really free when it comes out of the yearly dues lol.

Yep Had to Put the Boat In
The weather has been so dry, the lake is so low it was going to be a hassle to get the boat off the lift if I left it in for another month.... Sad season...Too short this year!
I hope y'all have had a nice Sunday!!!
Thanks for stopping by!

Oh! I love to find a heads-up penny! Yeah, I am still immature like that. If you say something the same time as me, I am likely to stick out my pinky-finger and yell "you owe me a coke" Really strange, because I have never drank coke. :) Oh, the things we pick up in life and never let go.
Swwwweeeet Jesus! That first shot took my breath away! How could I forget how beautiful those sunrise/sunsets are up there? Selective memory brings me straight to the winter when I think of there. I have no idea why. I had a summer house up there. (my family did anyway) My fondest memory is a snowstorm on May 5th.... 24 inches. I was in cutoffs and flip-flops. It was summer everywhere else in the world.
I digress.
Beautiful shots, PAUL. It really was a weird kind of day, even here. It looked like fall, smelled like fall and by God, it felt like summer. I don't get it, but, it made the morning run sweaty. Ugh.
I honestly think that 1,000 calories are too little for you. I know it won't be for long, but, your body does better with consistency (and patience) will pay off in the long run. There is no quick fix and you don't want your body to go into a conserve mode because you are basically starving it. I would definitely up it to 1600-1800 and you will still lose weight and in a nice healthy way. Stop skipping meals. Should I mind my own business now?? :(
I would rather see a little healthy progress and a lifestyle change than a get rich quick scheme that will send you back to start over time.
Your photography is superb and I am so looking forward to the blazing colors- coming to your neighborhood soon. The boat is a bummer, but, I can remember the year my brother left his in a little bit too long, but, I don't want to pass bad family stories around.. :)
Have a great night and thanks for taking me around the beautiful hood. I would tell you about the sad story with my low voting power, but, I am going to give it all I got! Don't get too excited. I am still a young minnow. :) I just looked. It netted a whole penny. Don't get too excited. That is almost a deadbeat. Yikes.
Oh so no peanuts in your Coke for you?!?! Well ok then, I suppose some Mt Dew and beer isnt on your menu either.
No, your business IS my business! Thats how this whole social media thing works. I agree the larger amount of calories gives a likely better chance of success over time.
Oh I can imagine. If you own a boat, you are prone to a million more chances for failure it seems lol. My neighbor left in a single pole from his dock in. The DNR were furious! Fining him a per day rate till he got it removed. They had to use propane torches to free his pole LOL.
Well Denise, its the thought that counts. I appreciate your vote no matter what. I have taken a couple of thousand of dollars out of here. Some days I wish I had powered that up instead!
Hope your night is peaceful and enjoyable as well. Nights on the lake are usually nice except sometimes a couple of geese have a territorial war at 4 am or so lol.
Haha! I hear you! My house fronts a lake and the Canadian Geese have taken over. Please some and take them back.
Get some swans, they seem to keep them at bay somewhat.
Haha. I'm pretty sure there is no store for that. :)
Wonderful photos of the lake <3
Thanks for the nice comments you have left. Upped and followed you!!!
Yeha! What an honour! :-)
My pleasure :)
Damn, boat docked away early - sign of the times I suppose. Still, lot's to look forward to in Autumn as well.
Yep Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas in no time :)
It is always good to find money.
That's a shame you had to put the boat up. Here in TN it feels colder than normal for this time of year. I had to shut my swimming pool down in August because it was too cool to use. It's usually warm until the first weeks of October. At least a new season brings new pretty pictures to take.
Your warm air must have went north.
Before you mentioned a chat you moderated..how do I find that?
Here's the link for it. https://discord.gg/nEmU98 . When you enter the room you have to post an introduction before it'll let you access the rest of the chat. The section of the chat that is mine is #steemit-diner in the list.
I didnt get there soon enough. I just tried and it says it expired. Sorry I got busy. Maybe resend and Ill get over there quicker!
I didn't realize they expire so quick! Sorry. Here's a link to my advertisement for the chat. https://steemit.com/community/@marxrab/come-join-us-at-novalord-industries-discord-chat

Thanks Marx! Do most people talk or type?
Typing. I think a voice chat exists but no one's ever used it so far.
LOLZ ok. My son talks on Discord all night. Very cool.
That sunrise is stunning!
I hear ya about the temps. That's some serious drop in the level of the lake! Good idea, however difficult the decision, to get the boat out while you can. Sorry it had to be so early this year. Maybe next year will be better.
Thanks. I guess thats a first world problem lol. Very nice of you to comment. Much appreciated :)
Maybe so, maybe no on first world problems. That's a drastic drop in level or is that a normal cycle for your lake? I know some do have a wide range of 'normal', but wasn't sure if this was one of them.
No not normal for us at all. I know many of the "lakes" down South that were created by damming rivers have huge fluctuations, but our lake is glacial and not man made.
Will have to hope for some good rains this fall and some decent snow melt for next spring to replenish.
The nature biological clock must be running irrespective of weather : )
sorry if I missed this in your previous posts, what kind of diet are you on?
No worries at all. I like to say I am on an air diet where I eat nothing but air. It feels that way. Basically trying to stay under 1000 calories for about 8 weeks. I like to see some progress quickly to stay motivated :)
1000 cal - must be tough diet! Well worth it though if you feel all that energy surge. Hope you'll consider a post with an update on this one day!
Our temperatures in Southern Ontario is ridiculous too...we're presently at 102!! ick! Your sunrise and set are beautiful but I love the spider web covered in dew the most.
Sounds like you had a really good weekend.
Thanks much for the visit :) Funny thing Im sure right around the corner we will be complaining about the chilly temps...never fails lol.
more than likely, altho I LOVE the colder weather....just not the deep bone chilling cold.....I like my OWN temperatures. :)
The cold makes for some awesome picture taking. I can't wait to have these cataracts removed - next month - so I can take some clearer shots.
Cool weather is a nice change. I prefer it to above freeing though.
Oh yes cataracts would certainly put a damper on the photography fun. I wish you good luck on that next month. Maybe you deserve to treat yourself to a new lens for having to go through the surgery!! :)
What a great idea!! I want a wide angle lens.....I'll put my order in with the hubby.
Just dont tell him you got the idea from me....I dont want to be flagged LOL
hehe....I don't think he's ever flagged anyone...but there is always a first. hehe... He loves buying me prizes so he might thank you for the idea.
Oh, I remember how sad it was to take the boat out for the season. I hate to see summer end.
But...find a penny, pick it up, all the day you'll have good luck!
Yep one cannot argue with Mother Nature...well you can but I dont think it does any good lol.
Ha! I suspect you are right, but darn it, I'm going to keep trying.
That sunrise pic is amazing.
It's weird today because I stepped outside and it smelled familiar like fall, but it was scorching hot.
LOL OMG I had the same experience. I could smell the blanket of leaves, yet I was sweating and thinking something is off about this lol.
