FOR ABOUT TWELVE SECONDS

A NEIGHBOR'S BENCH IN THEIR BACKYARD OVERLOOKING THE PARK'S POND

A gray overcast morning with a slight drizzle.  Pheebs and I slipped into and around Bayfield and came home.  Kelly headed off to Goderich in the white car.

 PEOPLE ON BOTH SIDES OF BAYFIELD'S NORTH AND SOUTH PIERS

With the cold and damp outside it's a nice feeling to be inside where it's all warm and cozy and stuff.  I wish we had the gentle wafting aroma of a sweet potpourri simmering on the stove to really put the icing on the cake so to speak.

 MOST OF THIS APPLE TREES APPLES HAVE ALREADY GONE KER-PLUNK 

Figuring we wouldn't be needing our inside stand-up summer fans anymore this year I decided to take them out to the shed for the winter.  Well, you know what that kind of thing leads to eh.  So, it was nearly an hour before I got myself out of Putterville and back inside the house again.  Oh, and I rounded up two more Frogasauresus and took them for a bouncy wheelbarrow ride to the Park's pond.  Pheebs came along and we made a short walk out of it and actually basked in a wondrous ray of errant sunshine for about twelve seconds.   

 TWO FROGS EAGERLY AWAITING THEIR BOUNCY RIDE TO THE PARK'S POND

 NO, THAT IS NOT A FROG EATING PYTHON IN THE POND, IT'S A TREE BRANCH

Al's Music Box:)) How High The Moon by Les Paul and Mary Ford was a 1951 single release. This version featured Paul on all guitars (lead, rhythm, muted strings for guitar percussion, and a bass line played on guitar). Ford's lead vocals took three takes to record; since Paul and Ford recorded (at least Ford's vocals) at night, she placed a blanket over her head so most of the sound would be directed towards the microphone and would not travel through the building and wake up neighbors.  Regardless, while recording one of Ford's harmony vocal parts, their neighbors complained about the noise.  According to Paul, the final recording featured 12 guitar parts and 12 vocal parts.

GROANER'S CORNER:((  There were 3 friends stranded on an island. Exploring the island, the 3 men found a bottle so they opened it. A genie came out, and she said that she would grant them 3 wishes. The first man said, "I wish I was with my family" then poof he was with his family. The second guy said "I wish I was in a bar with my friends" then poof he was gone. The third guy was feeling bad and the genie asked, "What's wrong?" The man said, I'm lonely I wish my friends were here. Poof, his two friends were back on the island.
