IT WAS QUITE A SPURT OF EARLY SPRING CLEANING WE HAD GOING ON

 BAYFIELD'S HARBOR MOUTH
In our sunroom, the area above and behind the computer desk is a difficult area to clean, and it is always a task to get the three windows there cleaned.  To access those windows, (1 large - 2 small) the heavy computer desk has to be moved out.  It's cumbersome, sits on a carpeted floor, and requires a series of 'oomphs and grunts' on my part to move it.  So, today I 'oomphed and grunted' and moved that desk about three feet out from the wall and windows.  With my tall ladder, Woodsy's help, the Dyson vacuum, and some window cleaner, we were able to get the area behind and above the computer desk cleaned up.  It was quite a spurt of early Spring cleaning we had going on.  But oh my, the spaghetti mosh of wires behind the computer desk turned out to be quite an entangled challenge.  It always does.  When all the cleaning was done, I hooked everything back up again, and of course, when I was finished, we didn't have any internet.  This was not unexpected.  Long story short, I had to call our internet provider (Eastlink) and do some troubleshooting.  A nice chap on the other end was able to get my head unscrambled and soon had us up and running.  And all was right with the world again.

 HOLY SMACKERS,.....GRASS:)))))
A drive into Bayfield and back under cloudy skies this morning.  Melting continued under 45F temps today, and tomorrow we are predicted to hit 58F.  Can you all see me sitting here with a big Cheshire Cat smile on my face:))

GROANER'S CORNER:(( The workers in a large office were making secret plans to stage a big office party for the 70-year old cleaning woman who had spent the better part of her life with the company. Somehow the secret leaked out and the woman got wind of it. Much perturbed, she rushed to the office manager. "Please sir," she cried, "Do not let them do it! Do not let them do it!" "Oh, come now, Mrs. Smith, you must not be so modest. After all, they simply want to show how much you are appreciated." "Appreciated, my foot," exclaimed the woman. "I do not want to have to clean up after a big mess like that!"

  1. The picture of the ice skaters on the river made me think of the time when I was 10 years old, and trying to learn to skate. I started to skate across our pond, and my new skates flew out from under me, and I landed on my back and hit my head on the ice, sending loud cracks breaking in the the ice, and a big painful lump on the back of my head. I gave up trying to skate that very day.

  3. The picture of that barefoot child on the IV drip...how poignant.
    You're way ahead of us all (no doubt) Woodsy and Al, on spring cleaning.
