Well, not wanting to miss another nice evening now that the days are already getting shorter on this first day of summer, I grabbed my camera Monday evening and headed out into the countryside. My first stop, of course, was my walking road, where for the second time on Monday, I did my quarter-mile stroll up the gravel road and back. From there, it was into Clinton for a Tim Hortons coffee to go before slipping northeast out of town and driving northward along the west side of the Hullet Marsh. How many times over the span of fourteen years had Pheebs and I traveled this stretch of road to the Marsh for our morning walks. Turning left, I then headed westward into the sunset. As darkness descended, it wasn't long before I began seeing glowing diamond-like fairies along the roadside, floating about in the tall grass and woodland trees. At one point, I stopped, turned the car off, and got out to just stand quietly and watch them. They were Fireflies, of course, but I preferred to imagine them as woodland fairies. I remember reading somewhere recently that it is believed that we will be the last generation to see them, as it is believed that because of environmental issues, they will soon be lost to history. Eventually, I arrived at my night sky spot, stayed for a while, took a couple of pictures, thought about things for a bit, and then headed home. It was nearly 11 p.m. Another fine evening well spent. My fav:))

GROANER'S CORNER:(( Two businessmen in Florida were sitting down for a break in their soon-to-be new store. As yet, the store wasn't ready, with only a few shelves set up. One said to the other, ' I bet any minute now some senior citizen is going to walk by, put his face to the window, and ask what we're selling.' No sooner were the words out of his mouth when, sure enough, a curious senior citizen walked to the window, had a peek, and in a soft voice asked, "What are you sellin' here?" One of the men replied sarcastically, "We're selling Idiots" Without skipping a beat, the old timer said, "You're doing well. Only two left."

A three-year-old went with his dad to see a litter of kittens. On returning home, he breathlessly informed his mother there were two boy kittens and two girl kittens.
"How did you know?" his mother asked.
"Daddy picked them up and looked underneath," he replied. "I think it was printed on the bottom."
