OH WELL, IT IS NOVEMBER AFTER ALL:((

A better day, and I was able to get outside and resume my late Fall yardwork, which mainly dealt with raking leaves.  After yesterday's rain, the leaves were easier to work with because they had a tendency to stick together and not blow around all over the place.  Trying to rake and pick up dry leaves is akin to trying to nail Jell-O to a tree.

A LOT OF LEAVES ARE DOWN FROM OUR REDBUD TREE THIS MORNING
 BY LATE MORNING, I HAD THEM CLEANED UP
Had an appointment at Goderich's Maitland Valley Medical Center with my Nurse Practitioner this afternoon.  I'm dealing with a painful and slightly misshapen finger on my left hand and a small non-painful growth on top of my head.  Apo-Naproxen was prescribed for a suspected tendon problem in my finger, and it was decided to monitor the head growth and notify my NP of any change......Looks like another cold and rainy day coming up for Friday.  Oh well, it is November after all:((   

 IT'S THE SECOND FINGER IN FROM THE RIGHT THAT IS GIVING ME ALL THE GRIEF....DARN THIS AGING THING

GROANER'S CORNER:(( There was a perfect man and a perfect woman. They met each other at a perfect party. They dated for two perfect years. They had the perfect wedding and the perfect honeymoon. They had two perfect children. One day, the perfect man and the perfect woman were driving in their perfect car, they saw an Elf by the side of the road, and being the perfect people they were, they picked him up. Well as the perfect man and the perfect woman were driving with the Elf, somehow they got into an accident. Two people died, and one lived.  Who died and who lived?  The perfect woman, because the perfect man and Elves aren't real.

A Lutheran minister is driving down to New York to attend a radio show, and he's stopped in Connecticut for speeding. The state trooper smells alcohol on his breath, and then he sees an empty wine bottle on the floor, and he says, "Sir, have you been drinking?"  And the minister says, "Just water."  The sheriff says, "Then why do I smell wine?"  And the minister looks down at the bottle and says, "Good Lord, He's done it again!"

When you're at a loss for words but want to tell someone that he or she is not too bright, you might want to remember some of these lines::
- He's traveling faster than light, but left his sneakers behind.
- She trips over cordless phones.
- His truck can't haul a full load.
- He tries to tune in his shortwave radio with a TV antenna.
- He's two bits shy of a dollar.
- She's two chapters short of a novel.
- That farm girl is two sheep short of a sweater.
- I think he is two socks short of a pair.
- She types 120 words a minute, but her keyboard isn't plugged in.

  1. I also have a somewhat strange finger on my left hand - it was caused when I fell forward several years ago while pulling weeds, and I caught myself with my left hand, bending my left ring finger backwards. Now when I try to bend my ring finger forward, it catches at the lower joint and has a snapping sound, but no pain.

  2. Awww! Love the pic of the cat on the bed. It looks so cozy and warm I'd love to hop in, also.

  3. Hi Al, soak your left hand in a pan of comfortably hot water with Epsom Salts added (maybe 1/2 cup). It pulls the toxins & inflammation out. I'm sure it will help you. Best Wishes.

  4. Glorious colors in those leaves! Love the old house and car and the golden plains under the cloudy skies.
