Lizzy McFly

Happy Canada Day, folks!  Mike and I decided to spend the day in nature.  We first visited the Wainfleet Quarry, which we went to last year as well.  Due to recent massive downpours, the waters were just a tad elevated:

Before we got down to the floor, I yelled up to Mike “Get a picture, hurry!!!”  So he did:

Yup, Lizzy caught a snake and Mike’s girlfriend is whacked.  He smelled so bad (the snake, not Mike), but was adorable (both the snake and Mike)!  Thankfully, we brought hand wipes.  I offered to pass him off to Mike, but he declined.

We walked through quite a bit of slop before reaching the far wall, where we sat for over an hour, looking for fossils and cool rocks.  We had to climb up the wall to get where we wanted to go first though:

C’mon Mike!  You can do it!

On the way back, Mike got a little scared again, as we were following a bunch of horses out of the quarry.  I used to ride for over a year back in high school, so was quite comfy around the awesome animals.  Mike, however, has never been around them.  I followed fairly close:

Mike stayed about 16km back.  Oh well.

After the quarry, we went to visit my tiny mother.  On the way home, I decided to show Mike the St. John’s Conservation Area Trout Pond.  He had never been there.

The weather was decent and most people had the day off, so it was quite busy. Although looking at that pic, it’s doesn’t look very occupied.  We just wandered around for about 20 minutes before heading out.  We saw this awesome site on the way out:

Best country in the world, eh?  I thinkest so!

Today’s symptoms: After feeling pretty crappy the last few days, although progressively getting better, I felt ok today.  I’ve been very weak again, almost like my bladder infection was back (which I went through for over a year).  Not sure if I have another infection or just dealing with crapola MS symptoms.  Paws crossed they go away for the next few days (weeks, months or even years!)
