IS IT POSSIBLE THEY MAY OPEN THE CANADA/U.S. BORDER SOON??

 SPRING PLANTING IS A BUSY TIME OF YEAR FOR AREA FARMERS

Well, where do I start with what happened to my Friday night post, which incidentally Blogger has now allowed to be published.  In a nutshell, it was not a problem with me, or anyone else's post, it was a problem Blogger itself had.  They sent me an email last night basically saying they took down my post because its content didn't comply with their rules and standards.  Hogwash I thought!!  My post was no different from all the other thousands of posts I have written over the years. (oops, that's not saying much for my posts is it)  Then, this morning another email arrived from Blogger basically saying, 'sorry it was our fault' and we have now allowed you to publish your blog.  Well, that was good enough for me and my 'happy camper' status was restored.  Kelly had seen that email before I did so she re-published the post.  In order for my re-published Friday night post to be at the top of my blog column, it was necessary for her to delete the 4 previous short Friday night posts regarding the problem I was having.  I want to thank the people who commented on those posts and especially those few who were also experiencing similar Blogger programs.  That at least told me it wasn't just me that Blogger had targeted.  And thanks to Bob for dropping a joke into the Groaner's Corner that was floating around somewhere out there in cyberlimbo:))

Okay, so now that my world has been restored in a reasonably reasonable manner let's get on with Saturday's post.  Oh, one last thing about Friday night.  Pheebs and I did take the Jeep out to our 'starry night spot' but with my mind in a funk I messed up the half dozen crescent Moon shots I took.  And it looks like it's going to be cloudy tonight so our night venture is a probable no go:((

 FARM FIELDS JUST KEEP ON GETTING GREENER AND GREENER

 SPRINGTIME RAILWAY

We've had a few really nice weather-related Saturday mornings this Spring but I think this one today topped the list.  We took our usual route up through and around Goderich.  Almost all of my pics this morning were 'drive-by shootings' taken right from the driver's seat.  We had a couple stops along the way for some leg stretching.  Drove by two of our favorite trail areas but the parking lots were filled with weekenders so we didn't stop.  We were home by 10:30.

It's looking like there 'might be' a possible chance the Canada/U.S. Border could be opened sometime this summer.  This Article talks about that.

GROANER'S CORNER:((  With all the new technology regarding fertility, an 88-year-old woman was able to give birth to a baby recently.  When she was discharged from the hospital and went home, various relatives came to visit. May we see the new baby one of them asked.  Not yet, said the mother. I'll make coffee and we can visit for a while first.  Another half hour passed before another relative asked, May we see the new baby now?  No, not yet, said the mother.  A while later and again the guests asked, May we see the baby now?  No, not yet, replied the mother.  Growing impatient, they asked, Well, when can we see the baby?  When it cries! she told them.  "When it cries? they gasped.  Why do we have to wait until it cries?  Because, I forgot where I put it.
