Under cloudy skies, my walking road was busy on both sides this morning. On the west side, a farmer with an older tractor towing a hay wagon was busy loading the large round straw bales left over from the wheat harvest a couple of days ago. On the east side of the road was another farmer with the same setup, loading hay bales onto a wagon from possibly a third Alfalfa field. In the midst of all this, a third farmer came down the gravel road on a Bobcat with forks. He swung into the number two Alfalfa field that was harvested and baled a couple weeks ago and retrieved one of those big rectangular-shaped plastic-wrapped alfalfa bales and headed back up the road. In the middle of all this was me, happily strolling along the road, watching everything.

Straight home after my walk, I proceeded to take the E-bikes and carrier off the car, and put the trailer hitch on. The utility trailer had a load of yard waste in it, so I backed up, hooked onto the trailer, and hauled it off to the Park's recycling area. By the time I got back and parked the utility trailer, the humidity had ramped up to a point where I retreated inside to the cool air-conditioned house and basically stayed there for the rest of the day. Woodsy (Lorraine) headed back to Stratford late this afternoon, and my fridge and freezer are once again overflowing with all kinds of delicious things:))

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A young preacher was asked by the local funeral director to hold a graveside burial service at a small local cemetery for someone with no family or friends. The exuberant young preacher headed out early but quickly got himself lost, making several wrong turns. Eventually, a half-hour late, he saw the backhoe and its crew, but the hearse was nowhere in sight, and the workmen were eating lunch. The diligent young pastor went to the open grave and found the vault lid already in place. Taking out his book, he read the service. Feeling guilty because of his tardiness, he preached an impassioned and lengthy service, sending the deceased to the great beyond in style. As he was returning to his car, he overheard one of the workmen say, "I've been putting in septic tanks for twenty years and I ain't never seen anything like that before."----------------------------

As the storm raged, the captain realized his ship was sinking fast. He called out, "Anyone here know how to pray?" One man stepped forward. "Aye, Captain, I know how to pray." "Good," said the captain, "You pray while the rest of us put on our life jackets. We're one short."

A man was just coming out of anesthesia after a series of tests in the hospital, and his wife was sitting at his bedside. His eyes fluttered open, and he murmured, "You're beautiful." Flattered, the wife continued her vigil while he drifted back to sleep. Later, her husband woke up and said, "You're cute." "What happened to 'beautiful?'" she asked him. "The drugs are wearing off," he replied.
