OUR FIRST CHIPMUNK OF THE YEAR

 I THINK OVER THE NEXT WEEK, MUCH OF THIS ICE AND SNOW ON LAKE HURON WILL DISAPPEAR

Oh, how I love the drip-drip-dripping sound of melting snow.  And over the next week, I will be outside reveling in those very sounds as temps are predicted to top 50F.  We hit 41F today under sunny skies, and we even caught us a sunset tonight.

 OUR FIRST CHIPMUNK OF THE YEAR

 I WAS ABLE TO TOSS OUT SOME BIRDSEED FOR THE LITTLE FELLOW

 YOU CAN SEE THE LITTLE CHAP ALREADY HAS A POUCH FULL OF SEEDS IN HIS CHEEKS

 WOODSY AND I CAUGHT OURSELVES A SUNSET TONIGHT AT BAYFIELD'S BEACH

AT BAYFIELD'S PIONEER PARK WE WEREN'T THE ONLY ONES WATCHING THE SUNSET

 IT LOOKS LIKE A KINDLY OLD MAN OUR WAY COMES

TONIGHT'S MOON

GROANER'S CORNER:(( Morris walks out into the street and manages to get a taxi just going by. He gets into the taxi, and the cab driver says, "Perfect timing. You're just like Dave." "Who?" "Dave Aronson. There's a guy who did everything right. Like my coming along when you needed a cab. It would have happened like that to Dave." "There are always a few clouds over everybody," says Morris. "Not Dave. He was a terrific athlete. He could have gone on the pro tour in tennis. He could golf with the pros. He sang like an opera baritone and danced like a Broadway star." "He was something, huh?" "He had a memory like a trap. Could remember everybody's birthday. He knew all about wine, which fork to eat with. He could fix anything. Not like me. If I change a fuse, I black out the whole neighborhood." "No wonder you remember him." "Well, I never actually met Dave." "Then how do you know so much about him?" asks Morris. "Because I married his widow.

Junior had just received his brand new driver's license. The family trooped out to the driveway and climbed into the car, where he was about to take them for a ride for the first time. Dad immediately headed for the back seat, directly behind the newly minted driver.  "I'll bet you're back there to get a change of scenery after all those months of sitting in the front passenger seat teaching me how to drive," said the beaming boy to the ol' man. "Nope," came dad's reply, "I'm gonna sit here and kick the back of your seat as you drive, just like you've been doing to me all these years."
