AND THEN YOU BE THE JUDGE

WOODSY AND I WENT FOR A THURSDAY EVENING WALK IN THE BAYFIELD CEMETERY
With a warm summer's early morning south wind at my back, and walking north on my gravel road, I had that very same warm southern wind on my front, returning to the car.  Some walks are just extra special.  

 AN AREA FARMER SCUFFLING UP HIS HARVESTED WHEAT FIELD FOLLOWED BY A WHOLE HERD OF SEA GULLS

 THAT'S QUITE A SCUFFLE MACHINE
 WHILE OUT OF THE CAR TO TAKE A PHOTO, I SPOTTED THIS COYOTE SLINKING ACROSS THE ROAD A FEW  HUNDRED YARDS BACK DOWN THE ROAD
 IT DIDN'T SEE ME RIGHT AWAY
 BUT THEN IT DID
 AND QUICKLY SLIPPED AWAY THROUGH THE GRASS
Changing things up a bit today, and ever conscious of good health, Lorraine suggested that on the days she is here, we should try to get into the habit of having the day's main meal at lunch time instead of supper time later in the day.  I thought that a good idea, so not long after high noon, we had roast beef, potatoes, mushrooms, peas, and carrots done in the slow cooker.  Yummy.  We'll see if this new habit continues.

Long-time readers will know of my keen interest in the Skinwalker Ranch TV series that will begin season 5 next month.  Being a stickler for reality-based information, this show grabbed my attention right from the beginning a few years ago and continues to do so.  If anyone is interested in knowing what it is all about and what is going on at the Skinwalker Ranch in Utah, I strongly suggest you watch this interesting interview with Ross Coulthard and the ranch's current owner, Brian Fugal.  It's a lengthy interview, but an honest and revealing one.  Watch the video til the end, and then you be the judge as to what is happening at this strange ranch.  Reality Check - Skinwalker Ranch

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A kindergarten teacher handed out a coloring page to her class. On it was a picture of a duck holding an umbrella. The teacher told her class to color the duck in yellow and the umbrella green, however, Bobby, the class rebel, colored the duck in a bright fire truck red. After seeing this, the teacher asked him: "Bobby, how many times have you seen a red duck?" Young Bobby replied with "The same number of times I've seen a duck holding an umbrella."

In the supermarket was a man pushing a cart which contained a screaming, bellowing baby. The gentleman kept repeating softly, "Don't get excited, Albert; don't scream, Albert; don't yell, Albert; keep calm, Albert." A woman standing next to him said, "You certainly are to be commended for trying to soothe your son, Albert." The man looked at her and said, "Lady, I'm Albert."

  1. The first puppy in your photos looks determined, the second looks frightened, and the third looks tired...... but they are all beautiful - I hope they have good homes.

  2. Sounds like a good eating plan along with those nice strolls through the trees! Your coyote looks like a youngster, and healthy too :-) Sweet old Pheebs face. Love the first gallery pic and the beautiful girl in gold.

  3. Agree that the big meal should be noon-ish for us retired folks. Impossible during the working years but those are long gone.

  4. That's a beautiful coyote and so healthy-looking. You should see the ones in Arizona now with all our heat (115 deg) and no summer monsoon rains. I imagine we'll loose a lot of wildlife this summer, unfortunately.

  5. We have a big meal at 1:00 and find we are more comfortable. Love the pictures of Kelly and Pheebs.

  6. We eat our main meal between noon and 1pm. And try to eat very light in the evening--now if we could just avoid the ice cream!! :) :)

  7. Al, having the big meal at noon is a very midwest (US) thing. My grandparents did that. Then you have leftovers for dinner! :-) Grandpa worked all morning in his garden or my parents', went home, ate the big meal that Grandma worked on all morning while he was gone, and then they took an afternoon nap and had an early dinner.
    And, YES...SKINWALKER RANCH! I've got the 12 year old granddaughter hooked on it. She LOVES Dr. Taylor and all his rockets and all the lasers! She and I watch it together when she comes over here. Great show!
