It is almost October and really I have failed as a blogger this month! I promised canoe blogs, product reviews and even some Hummm… from our travels.
Hummmm… that didn’t happen! Why? COVID! Yup the virus finally found us and jumped smack in the middle of the last days of packing for our canoe trip! Of course I wondered where I had picked it up, I don’t socialize much, don’t really shop at the stores when it is busy, but a non stop water facet of a nose and sore throat was a sure indication that I picked it up SOMEWHERE! Two negative tests and a couple days later the Hubby started feeling a bit off (the man is NEVER sick) he did a test and immediately it was positive! I must have tested wrong so took one more and still negative even with all my symptoms. Hummmm… No vacation!
About the same time the drought here was finally broken with rain. Not just a little bit of rain but centimeters of rain!
I only have one real Hummm… to share this month. This one comes from our local grocery store. I just had to purchase as I wondered what a Friendly Viking could produce!
Friendly? Viking? Really?
My home state of Minnesota is full of so called Vikings every fall. A happy sort, dressed in purple and horned hats, yellow/purple face paint, mostly friendly unless you mention the cheese heads from Wisconsin. LOL But, in all my experience with historical research I never really thought of the Vikings as “friendly”.
Until, hummm… now?
I purchased the product and looked closely at the packaging.
But, that wasn’t all they had to tell me.
Now, my suggestion would be if you fear Vikings is to find this product, keep it on your shelf, and when we are invaded by mad looking people wearing pelts and brandishing swords and torches, kindly greet them with this product!
Hummm…
I will leave you wondering what October will bring with the following pictures. Stay safe and stay healthy everyone!

Hope you both feel better soon. We get our fourth covid jab next week, had my ‘flu jab this morning and a couple of weeks ago had an anti pneumonia one, feel like a pincushion!

We are both almost back to normal, thanks for the thoughts! I can’t imagine how bad this would have been without the vaccines! It was bad enough for me!!!
Pin cushion for sure. Thanks for stopping in to comment.

I’m glad you finally got to what belonged to the Vikings – I thought for a while that your “Hummm” was for a misplaced possessive! But no, they possess oat drinks. I’m relieved; I get very tired of people thinking that any “s” after almost any word needs an apostrophe!

Trust me, Covid is an acceptable excuses for falling behind on your blog! I’m just glad you’re feeling better now. I really think everyone’s going to catch it sooner or later…some more than once. All we can do is stay up to date on vaccinations, and keep ourselves as healthy and safe as possible.

I’m sorry COVID found both of you. It’s just difficult to avoid as time passes. But you protected yourself as best you could. I’m thankful you are feeling better.
Of course, I enjoyed your Vikings part of this post. SKol!

Thanks Audrey. We are glad that we had the vaccines and we know it could have been worse. Seems there was a 70% increase in cases here since last week so I guess you can say I was a trend setter.

A friendly viking you say…well, call me skeptical ha. Sorry to hear you two came “Down with the Sickness” per Disturbed. Hopefully you didn’t have any bad issues and were able to get over it relatively quickly. Think I mentioned this to you before, but greetings from the Pumpkin Capital of the world!

Sorry the virus found you, hopefully you had a good supply of everything you needed.
I had a good supply of food but forgot the cough mixture so my first few days were terrible.
Hope your feeling better soon.

Thanks Chris! We were will prepared. Had to make my herbal sage medicine (it is only good fresh) but other than that we managed fine. Still have some lingering annoying issues but they are nothings serious. Hopefully you are starting into a wonderful summer season there.

That’s good to hear. I still had a little cough if I had cold drinks in the morning.
Yes it’s warming up now. I spent a few days on Heron Island with mum for a few days for a extended birthday present. Then build a deck and two gazebos for her.
Been flat out with my exhibition then artworks for the historical village in town so only blogging on my art website not my adventure one.
