OLD MAN WINTER BIDES HIS TIME

 

 IN OUR FRONT YARD FROG POND TODAY

Sitting in my living room recliner early this morning, I anxiously awaited the Sun's rays shining through the living room window.  I remarked a few days ago about cleaning that window, and the next morning, sunshine through that window showed it to still be a dirty mess.  Yesterday afternoon, I scrubbed half of that window with pure vinegar to see if that worked.  It didn't:((  So, it tells me that the double-pained window is probably compromised between the two panes.  It's only when the sun shines through the window in the morning and the rest of the time, it looks clear as a bell, and can easily be seen through.  Solution:: Close the window curtains until the Sun gets around to the south side of the house.  To replace that original window in a 42-year-old mobile home isn't practical, and besides, in this day and age, the cost would be huge. $$$$$$

FRUSTRATING

No walk this morning as I busied myself around both the inside and outside of the house, spiffing things up.  I knew Woodsy was coming later this afternoon, and if I didn't have things in spic and span order, I was in trouble.  And I don't like being in trouble.

A great weather day for the first of September.  Perfect I'd say, at 74F with only a 49% humidity factor.  But oh my, the price we will have to pay for these upcoming finest weather days of the entire year.  Old Man Winter bides his time, knowing he will intentionally unleash his cruel wrath upon us in a couple of short months.

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A six-year-old comes crying to his Mother because his little sister pulled his hair. "Don't be angry," the Mother says, "Your little sister doesn't realize that pulling hair hurts." A short while later, there's more crying, and the Mother goes to investigate. This time, the sister is bawling, and her brother says..."Now she knows."

When I was married, my wife used to call me handsome. As a matter of fact, we are now divorced but she STILL calls me handsome. Every time I have some money, she says, Handsome Over.

Him: There is one word that will make me the happiest man in the world. Will you marry me?
Her: No!
Him: That's the word!

Ouch! I must have scraped my knee falling for you.

Are you the sun? Because my whole world revolves around you.

[Sneeze as you walk by them] Oh no need to bless me. God already did by putting you in my life.

Do I know you? Because you look a lot like my next girlfriend.

A man goes to a restaurant on Mars and notices a koala in his soup. "Waiter," he exclaims, "there's something in my soup!"
The waiter responds, "you ordered the eel soup, right?" "Yes." "Yeah, that's an eel."
"Have you been to Earth?! Eels look nothing like koalas!" "Yes, but this is a Mars Soup Eel."
