THE DAY JUST KINDA SLIPPED ON BY ME

I guess I must have tumbled out of the wrong side of my sleeping recliner this morning because the rest of the day just kinda slipped on by me.  Foregoing my walk on this cold and windy morning, I continued my drive around a few country roads and managed to land myself a bucket of corn cobs from a recently harvested field.  Home again, and even with the sun making an impressive appearance, I still couldn't seem to find the energy to get myself outside and accomplish something.  Spent some time in my sunroom recliner reading and catching some zzzzzzz's.  With a few commitments coming up, Woodsy (Lorraine) headed back to Stratford later today, so it's just me here for a little while holding down the fort.  I sure miss the pitter-patter of little paws...................Oh, and don't forget to turn those clocks back tonight.

PIGEONS ON AN OLD BARN ROOF
GROANER'S CORNER:(( A farmer purchases an old, run-down, abandoned farm with plans to turn it into a thriving enterprise. The fields are grown over with weeds, the farmhouse is falling apart, and the fences are collapsing all around. During his first day of work, the town preacher stops by to bless the man's work, saying, "May you and God work together to make this the farm of your dreams!"A few months later, the preacher stops by again to call on the farmer. Lo and behold, it's like a completely different place.  The farmhouse is completely rebuilt and in excellent condition. There are plenty of cattle and other livestock happily munching on feed in well-fenced pens, and the fields are filled with crops planted in neat rows. "Amazing!" the preacher says. "Look what God and you have accomplished together!""Yes, reverend," says the farmer, "but remember what the farm was like when God was working it alone!"

It doesn't hurt to take a hard look at yourself from time to time, and this should help get you started. During a visit to the mental asylum, a visitor asked the director what the criterion was that defined whether or not a patient should be institutionalized.  "Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub."  "Oh, I understand," said the visitor. "A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup."  "No," said the Director, "A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a room with or without a view?"

  1. Al, you said you miss the pitter patter of little paws - maybe it would be good for both of you if you adopted a puppy or older dog - I would think there are nearby animal shelters with many dogs longing for a home with you...and you would both be be very happy.

  3. Love that last pic of the two senior farmers tending to their chickens. And don't fret about having naps this time of year...our bodies are getting ready to hibernate, haha.

  4. Such pretty fall colors in your world. I think snoozing in the sun room on a chilly day sounds perfect! Love that big tree in the last shot. Sweet littles in the gallery today, so cute. LOL to the Wyoming ponies :-)
