| A PAIR OF CROWS HAVE BEEN FREQUENTING THE FRONT YARD LATELY |
Imagine my disappointment Thursday night when arriving at my country road walking spot to find all the flowers and plants along the west side of the road had been cut down. That's twice this season. All the Queen Anne's Lace, the clover, the chicory, the tall yellow dandelion-looking flowers, the milkweed plants, and the purple vetch, etc. All the wildflowers. I wonder why the County or the farmer does this. I so much looked forward to seeing all those flowers each morning and evening. And what about all the little yellow butterflies now? What will happen to them, I thought. But, not to worry, there are plenty of flowers on the other side of the road and beyond. |
| AT SOME POINT ON THURSDAY, THE FARMER CUT THIS FIELD OF ALFALFA ON THE EAST SIDE OF MY WALKING ROAD, AND IT NOW BASKS IN THE WARM GLOW OF EVENING'S LIGHT |

Had a prescription to be filled at the Walmart Pharmacy this morning, so it was off to Goderich I went. Took a few pics, and I was home by 11 a.m. Too hot and humid outside for me today, so I vacuumed some floors in air-conditioned comfort.

GROANER'S CORNER:(( The little Moron was driving home after a football game, and got caught in a really bad hailstorm. His car was covered with dents, so the next day he took it to a repair shop. The shop owner saw that he was a moron, so he decided to have some fun. He told him just to go home and blow into the tailpipe really hard, and all the dents would pop out. So, the moron went home, got down on his hands and knees, and started blowing into the car's tailpipe. Nothing happened. He blew a little harder, and still nothing happened. His roommate, another moron, came home and said, "What are you doing?" The first moron told him how the repairman had instructed him to blow into the tailpipe in order to get all the dents to pop out. His roommate rolled his eyes and said, ..."HELLLLO" "You need to roll up the windows first!!"-------------------------------------
Stepping up to the counter at the fast-food restaurant, I asked for a baked potato with butter on the side. With the gusto of someone newly employed, the teenager taking my order asked, “Which side?”

I think you need a canine companion - not a puppy, but an older dog that is at an animal shelter, and needs you as much as you need the dog.
ReplyDeleteI think so too. This is my wish for you 🩷
DeleteI also feel sad when I see wildflowers at the edge of a road, or on a median, or along a pathway, mowed. They were food for the bees and butterflies, and there's not one good reason to mow them. A lack of caring for important insects.
ReplyDeleteHi AL, I always look forward to your blog. It makes one feel we’re on the walk with you. The wild flowers are beautiful. I agree with the person who thought an older dog who needs some one to love him might be a a good thing. 🤗
ReplyDeleteThank you Al for sharing the memorial photo’s … loved all the pictures … Kelly was very photogenic and took great pictures with her big lovely smile, even at an early age … she’s always so classy and lady-like … I miss her (and had never even met her), so I can’t even begin to imagine how much you miss her each and everyday … remember she’s all around you … don’t be afraid to talk to her - (that’s worked for me since I lost my dear husband at the end of April earlier this
ReplyDeleteyear … hang in there my friend, I know it’s really tough
Big hug 🤗
