WE ALL MADE IT BACK TO THE CAR UNSCATHED

Saw my first orange Day Lily of the year, blooming in the backyard beside the shed. Another indicator of how fast the season is already moving on. But that's okay, I always look forward to those splashes of orange in the flower beds and along many roadside ditches at this time each year.  A slightly overcast day and that was okay too. No horrid heat and humidity, and no ice and snow either.  Sometimes, things just kinda do alright.  A pleasant country road walk as usual earlier today.  Home again, I decided it was a good morning for cleaning the car, so out came the floor mats and in went the vacuum cleaner.

 A FEW FRONT YARD SQUIRREL PICS TODAY

 SOMETIMES THE SQUIRRELS LAY MOTIONLESS HIGH UP IN THE SUNBURST LOCUST TREE, AND I FIGURE THEY ARE CATCHING SOME ZZZZZZZZZ'S

With a chance of rain, we decided to roll back our E-Bike ride up around Blyth, Ontario, to maybe tomorrow, weather permitting.  With our good neighbor Monica having an appointment in Goderich early this afternoon, we decided to combine her appointment with some grocery shopping, and at 12:20, under cloudy skies, we three headed off to Goderich.  After Monica's appointment, I dropped the ladies at Food Basics and they slipped inside looking for some bargoons while I held the fort down outside in the car.  I'm not a fan of banging around in grocery stores.  From Food Basics, it was off to Walmart we three Musketeers went to mix it up with the local Walmartians.  Even I went in this time.  It was a busy place, but fortunately, we all made it back to the car unscathed, with our arms full.  Heading for home, we made one last stop at the Bayfield Berry Farm where the gals slipped inside looking for strawberries and whatever other little goodies they could find.  They weren't disappointed.  Having had enough strenuous shopping for one day, I again gladly waited in the car.  Minutes later, we were all home, and a good gol darn time was had by all.

 BAYFIELD'S TUESDAY EVENING SUNSET AT THE BEACH

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A couple had been married for 35 years, and the pair was also celebrating their 60th birthdays. During the celebration, a fairy godmother appeared and said that because they had been such a loving couple all those years, she would give them each one wish.  The wife said she wanted to travel around the world. The fairy godmother waved her magic wand and BOOM! The wife had the tickets in her hand.  Then it was the husband's turn. He paused for a moment, then said boldly, "Well, I'd like to have a wife 30 years younger than I." The fairy godmother picked up her wand and BOOM! He was now 90.

- My dad walked me down the aisle at my third wedding. He said, “I keep giving you away... and they keep giving you back!”

- Where was the toothbrush invented?
Mississippi. If it had been invented anywhere else, it would have been called a teeth brush.

- 'My grandmother started walking five miles a day when she was 60. She's 97 now and we don't know where the hell she is.'

- Why does a slight tax increase cost you two hundred dollars and a substantial tax cut save you thirty cents?

- All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

- Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.

- Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.

An old-time pastor was riding furiously down the road, hurrying to get to church on time. Suddenly, his horse stumbled and threw him to the ground. Lying in the dirt, his body wracked with pain, the pastor called out, “All you angels in heaven, help me get up on my horse!”With extraordinary strength, he leaped onto the horse’s back—and fell off the other side. From the ground again, he called out, “All right, just half of you angels this time!”
