THAT SNOWBANK JUST HAD TO GO

AMOROUS GRACKLES ON OUR BIRD STATION
Thunder, lightning, and heavy bands of rain came through overnight, and it was the hard rain on our steel roof that woke me up.  Thunder, not so much.  It was a short, rainy drive into Bayfield and back this morning.  Not much going on for this eleventh day of March.  With only one snowbank remaining in our driveway, stressing me out, I grabbed a shovel and spent twenty minutes in a rainy drizzle dispersing the snow around to allow today's 45F temps to melt it much quicker.  White is not my favorite color, and that snowbank just had to go!!

AND THIS IS THE SNOWBANK AFTER I DID BATTLE WITH

GROANER'S CORNER:(( The artist tried to concentrate on his work, but the attraction he felt for his model finally became irresistible. He threw down his palette, took her in his arms, and kissed her. She pushed him away. "Maybe your other models let you kiss them," she said. "I've never tried to kiss a model before," he swore. "Really?" she said, softening, "How many models have there been?" "Four," he replied, "A jug, two apples, and a vase."

Who's there?
Juicy!
Juicy who!
Juicy what I just saw!

Did you hear about the Little Moron who bought an AM radio? It took him a month to figure out he could play it at night too.

Funny to do list: 1. Go to the pet store 2. Buy bird seed. 3. Ask how long it will take for the birds to grow.  4. Wait for the reaction.

A: Their horns don't work.

A man is stunned when his newly divorced neighbor knocks at his door. He answers eagerly and she asks him, "Are you free tonight?" He excitedly blurts out, "Yes!" She asks, "Great! Would you watch my kids?"

'AWWW NUTS'!!!! THE GRACKLES ARE BACK!!!!

MONDAY EVENING'S LAKE HURON SUNSET IN BAYFIELD
A rather dull day going on but we were close to 50F so I again spent a couple hours outside working on the early Spring clean-up.  I figured the more I could accomplish today, the less I would have to lay awake tonight worrying about what I had to do tomorrow.  Besides, with rain nearly upon us and our weather returning to winterlike conditions beginning tonight, it just made a whole lot of good darn sense to keep plugging away at the yard clean-up.  Sure beats sitting around the house looking out the window.

I THINK WE'LL FILL THIS NEWER FLOWER BED UP WITH AN ASSORTMENT OF HOSTAS
 THE FRONT YARD FROG POND IS STILL FROZEN BUT A MONTH FROM NOW THERE WILL PROBABLY BE A FEW FROGGY GUYS ALREADY IN THERE
ONE OF MY YARD WASTE PILES WAITING  TO BE LOADED INTO MY UTILITY TRAILER
Woodsy and I took a drive into Bayfield Monday evening and caught ourselves another sunset.  It is with great expectations that we patiently await the opening of Bayfield's ice cream parlours to pleasantly enchance our upcoming sunsets this season.  Our two favorite places are Rosie's Ice Cream Shoppe and the Woodland Drive-In.

 MONDAY EVENING'S SUNSET AS SEEN FROM BAYFIELD'S PIONEER PARK
NOTICE THE FLYING CANADA GOOSE TOP RIGHT
 SAW THE OLD FELLA WITH HIS BICYCLE AT PIONEER PARK FOR ANOTHER SUNSET....I WONDER WHAT HIS STORY IS
 AND, BY GOLLY, HERE'S WOODSY SNAPPING A SUNSET PIC WITH HER PHONE
'AWWW NUTS'!!!! The Grackles are back, and they are already dominating the bird feeders.  They will be here now every day until late Summer and early Autumn:(( I'm gonna need part time job now just to afford all the birdseed these bullies are hogging.  But hey, on a brighter note....I saw my first Robin today:))

GROANER'S CORNER:(( Little Johnny was having problems in English class, so his teacher, Miss Figpot, decided to stop by Little Johnny's house on her way home. She wanted to discuss Johnny's poor performance directly with his parents. When she rang the door bell, Little Johnny answered. "Hello Johnny, I'd like to talk to your mother or father," she said. "Sorry, but they ain't here." He replied. "Johnny!" She said, "what is it with your grammar?" "Haven't got a clue," Johnny replied, "but dad sure was mad that they had to go bail her out again!"

How do you keep the Little Moron in the shower all day?  Give him a bottle of shampoo which says "lather, rinse, repeat."

Health inspector: "I'm afraid you have too many roaches in here." Restaurant owner: "How many am I allowed?"

The owner of a drug store walks in to find a guy leaning heavily against wall. The owner asks the clerk, "What's with that guy over there by the wall?" The clerk says, "Well, he came in here this morning to get something for his cough. I couldn't find the cough syrup, so I gave him an entire bottle of laxative."  The owner says, "You idiot! You can't treat a cough with laxatives!" The clerk says, "Oh yeah? Look at him, he's afraid to cough!"
