SERENADING TWILIGHT'S SLUMBER INTO NIGHT

A COLD GRAY MORNING IN THE COUNTRYSIDE

A short car ride for Pheebs and I this morning as we slowly wandered around a few country concessions.  The grey day wasn't too inspiring so we were soon home again.  Feeling the need to change things up a bit for a change I headed off to Goderich this afternoon.  Thought I might pop into the Goodwill Store and look for a couple of warm shirts but by the time I got to Goderich I had lost all interest in a couple warm shirts.  Grabbed a coffee to go at McD's and headed down to the harbor.  Took one photo and thought about going to Zehrs Supermarket but by the time I got there I had lost interest in that too.  No problem, Walmart was right next door and I ended up lumbering around in there with a small shopping cart.  Only $742.81.  Okay, okay, so not that much but $55.37 did get me a couple chocolate bars and a fizzy pop.  Well, so it seemed anyway.  I don't eat chocolate bars or drink fizzy pops but I didn't want to leave the store empty-handed.  Maybe I'll leave the fizzy pop and bars on somebody's doorstep.  Home again and with a touch of snow along the way I decided with a slight headache I wasn't feeling the best.  I am seriously in need of some Spring Tonic.  Sunshine and warm air with flocks of early summer songbirds in the morning air along with a whole host of tiny Peeper Frogs serenading twilight's slumber into night.

 A LOCAL COUPLE AND THEIR DOG OUT FOR A MORNING WALK
Al's Music Box:)) A Blossom Fell is a popular song written by Howard Barnes, Harold Cornelius, and Dominic John and published in 1954.  The best-known version was recorded by Nat King Cole. The recording was released by Capitol Records.  The B-side was "If I May." The record first reached the Billboard magazine charts on April 27, 1955, and lasted 20 weeks on the chart, peaking at #2.  Nat King Cole recorded the song again for his album The Nat King Cole Story (1961).

 ICY LAKE HURON
GROANER'S CORNER:(( A wealthy man died and went to heaven. He was met at the Pearly Gates by Saint Peter who led him down the streets of gold. They passed mansion after mansion until they came to the very end of the street. Saint Peter stopped the rich man in front of a little shack.“This belongs to you,” said Saint Peter.“Why do I get this ugly thing when there are so many mansions I could live in?” the man demanded.“We did the best we could with the money you sent us!” Saint Peter replied.

A father was reading Bible stories to his young son. He read, “The man named Lot was warned to take his life and flee out of the city, but his wife looked back and was turned to salt.  His son asked, but what happened to the flea.

- Hear about the dude who wanted to be an explorer? He bought a piece of sandpaper thinking it was a map of the Sahara Desert.

Two policemen call the station on their radio.  "Hello. ..... Is this the Sarge?"  "Yes?"
"We have a case here, Sarge. A woman has shot her husband dead for stepping on the floor she had mopped."  "Have you arrested the woman?"  "No sir. The floor is still wet."

A: A buck an ear.

One night, a lady stumbled into the police station with a black eye. She claimed she heard a noise in her backyard and went to investigate. The next thing she knew, she was hit in the eye and knocked out cold.  An officer was sent to her house to investigate, and he returned 1-1/2 hours later with a black eye.  "Did you get hit by the same person?" his captain asked.  "No," he replied. "I stepped on the same rake.

  1. Gosh, Al, I do that too. I have all these great plans to go to 3 stores with a list of what I need, and then I can't wait to get out of each of them, and head home. It's a sign I can do without those things, I think. Love the desert pictures! Hope you have some sunny days coming. In the North Okanagan, we're mostly very gloomy, now and then a half-sunny day, but "bloody" (sorry) cold. -15 overnight, yesterday we made it to -9 during the day, but haven't seen above Zero for quite a while. Fortunately only about 2 inches of snow on the ground. Be well, Al and Pheebs. Barb M.

  3. Hope the big storms miss you. Maybe soon you won't have to pay to travel south if Canada becomes a state 😀 i agree about missing warm sunlight. Maybe, we both will be relaxing in the southwest this time next year.
