With my weather station showing humidity at 99% at 8 o'clock this morning, I wasn't too keen on heading outside. But, I did anyway, and by 10:30 I was at my country road walking spot. It was okay as long as the sun stayed behind the clouds, but every time it came out, 'yeouch'. Not wanting to get all sticky and stuff, I took my camera along on my walk. Without a camera along, I have a tendency to walk faster, and in this humidity, I wanted to keep my walk down to a slow photo amble.

A tornado definitely touched down near Holmesville last night and also at the Shelter Valley Campground between Goderich and Clinton. No reported injuries and the damage in the Park was not severe.

GROANER'S CORNER:(( There was a little boy named Johnny who used to hang out at the local corner market. The owner didn't know what Johnny's problem was, but the boys would constantly tease him. They would always comment that he was two bricks shy of a load, or two pickles short of a barrel. To prove it, sometimes they would offer Johnny his choice between a nickel (5 cents) and a dime (10 cents) and John would always take the nickel -- they said, because it was bigger. One day after John grabbed the nickel, the store owner took him aside and said, "Johnny, those boys are making fun of you. They think you don't know the dime is worth more than the nickel. Are you grabbing the nickel because it's bigger or what?" Slowly, Johnny turned toward the store owner and a big grin appeared on his face and Johnny said, "Well, if I took the dime, they'd stop doing it, and so far I've saved $20!"

A priest was sent to a very small church in the backwoods of Alaska. After a couple of years, the Bishop decided to pay the priest a visit to see how he was doing. The priest said that it was a really lonely job and that he didn't think that he could have made it without his Rosary and two martinis each day. With that, the priest said to the Bishop, "Would you like to have a martini with me?" The Bishop said, "Yes, that would be nice." The priest turned around and hollered toward the kitchen, "Rosary, would you fix us two martinis please?"

The wildflower you called "false dandelion", is in reality an invasive non native species with the name "Hawkweed". It is everywhere in the state of Washington, and impossible to eradicate. I'm not sure how this weed arrived in Washington....that is something more that I will try to look up.

ReplyDeleteWelcome back Lorraine. Make sure the old boy knows that if he doesn't treat you right you will be gone for good.
ReplyDeleteThe butterfly in your first image today is a Black Swallowtail. I learned this when I caught one in Milwaukee at about age 10, in 1955.
