WOODSY WANTED TO GET HER FEET WET

Wednesday evening's light rains signalled the beginning of a welcome weather change for us as it paved the way for cooler air moving in.  Gentle rain continued through the night, leaving us with an overcast 60F morning.  How wonderful to finally feel cooler, fresher, air:))

LOOKS LIKE IT MIGHT BE A BUMPER BEAN CROP THIS YEAR, SO IT APPEARS THIS FARMER IS ALREADY BUILDING A NEW HOUSE

PERHAPS A RURAL SEAGULL CONVENTION

With overcast skies on Wednesday evening, there was no chance of a sunset, but we slipped into Bayfield's Woodland Drive-in for ice cream anyway.  Followed that with another leisurely cruise around the streets of Bayfield and then home.

 THIS FELLA IS LASER FOCUSED TO SEE IF HE IS GETTING AN ICE CREAM CONE

WHEN I TURNED MY HEAD AND TOLD HIM I DIDN'T THINK HE WAS GETTING AN ICE CREAM CONE, HE SURE GAVE ME A NASTY LOOK!!

I cruised a few country roads this morning and managed to find a few pics here and there.  Mainly, the usual fare, of course.  Horses, cows, and flowers.

NICE MORNING FOR A LEISURELY DRIVE THROUGH THE COUNTRYSIDE

Thanks to the morning's cool air, I was later able to begin catching up on my yardwork.  Had myself on the end of my lawn mower, my weed whacker, and my trusty hand clippers for trimming back branches and vines.  Felt good to finally get outside and get some much-needed things done.  It was 2 o'clock when I drove Woodsy into Bayfield, and she set off on another bicycle ride around the Village.  And, it was nearly 4 p.m. when she called for me to pick her up after having herself another nice ride around the sleepy little village.  Before heading home, we popped down to the beach where Woodsy wanted to get her feet wet.

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A policeman was interrogating 3 new recruits who were training to become detectives. To test their skills in recognizing a suspect, he shows the first recruit a picture for 5 seconds and then hides it. "This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?" The first recruit answers, "That's easy, we'll catch him fast because he only has one eye!" The policeman says, "Well...uh...that's because the picture I showed is his side profile." Slightly flustered by this ridiculous response, he flashes the picture for 5 seconds at the second recruit and asks him, "This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?" The second recruit smiles, flips his hair and says, "Ha! He'd be too easy to catch because he only has one ear!" The policeman angrily responds, "What's the matter with you two?? Of course, only one eye and one ear are showing because it's a picture of his side profile! Is that the best answer you can come up with?" Extremely frustrated at this point, he shows the picture to the third recruit and in a very testy voice asks, "This is your suspect, how would you recognize him? He quickly adds, "Think hard before giving me a stupid answer." The recruit looks at the picture intently for a moment and says, "The suspect wears contact lenses." The policeman is surprised and speechless because he really doesn't know himself if the suspect wears contacts or not. "Well, that's an interesting answer. Wait here for a few minutes while I check his file, and I'll get back to you on that." He leaves the room and goes to his office, checks the suspect's file in his computer, and comes back with a beaming smile on his face. "Wow! I can't believe it. It's TRUE! The suspect does in fact wear contact lenses. Good work! How were you able to make such an astute observation?" "That's easy," the recruit replied. "He can't wear regular glasses because he only has one eye and one ear."

A few thoughts about Tiger Woods and his car crash years ago::

-Tiger Woods crashed into a fire hydrant and a tree. Apparently, he couldn't decide between a wood and an iron.

- What's the difference between a car and a golf ball? Tiger can drive a ball 400 yards.

- The Chinese are already making a movie about Tiger Wood's crash. They are calling it "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Hydrant."

- Tiger is now in trouble with his sponsor Gillette because he said that "this was the closest shave I have had yet."

- It's not often that Tiger Woods starts out with a bad drive, hits a water hazard, and ends up in the trees.

- It's the first time Tiger's driven less then 250 yards.
