| STORMY SKIES OVER LAKE HURON THIS MORNING |
A dull, gray, cold, and damp rainy day kept us inside, except for me making a quick trip to Goderich and back. Despite the rain, I was able to snap a few pics along the way.

| HEADING HOME IN THE RAIN |
Home again, and despite the drab day and poor lighting, I thought I'd try a few bird pictures. Nice to see the Juncos have returned for another season. They will be here until next April, sometime before once again returning to their northern habitat.

Woodsy has been busy in the kitchen for most of the day, whipping up all kinds of yummy stuff. She's a great little cook and very calorie-conscious. She is also quite inventive at making changes to various recipes she tries.

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A pastor goes to the dentist for a set of false teeth. The first Sunday after he gets his teeth, he talks for only eight minutes. On the second Sunday, he talks for only 10 minutes. The following Sunday, he talks for two hours and 48 minutes and the congregation has to mob him to get him down from the pulpit. They ask him what happened. The pastor explains the first Sunday, his gums hurt so bad he couldn't talk for more than 8 minutes. The second Sunday, his gums hurt too much to talk for more than 10 minutes. But, on the third Sunday, by mistake, he put his wife's teeth in and couldn't stop talking.--------------------------------------
Q: Why did the little Moron lose his job as a restroom attendant?
A: He couldn't figure out how to refill the hand dryer!

A note posted on the front door of a couple's home read ...."I am the boss of this house and I have my wife's permission to say so!!!"

After a rough day spent corralling my rowdy kids, I’d had enough. “I think I’m going to sell them,” I hissed to my sister.
“You’re crazy,” she said. “For thinking of selling them?” "No, for thinking anybody would buy them.”

I love your bird pictures!
ReplyDeleteAh. The juncos. Almost my favorites.
ReplyDeleteWell, maybe they are...
Go Bluejays!!
ReplyDeleteThe bird pictures are great Al. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSo nice to see your yard birds! You do get such great shots of them. What a lucky fella you are to reap the rewards of Woodsy’s kitchen talents.
ReplyDeleteThe blue jay Psssst photo made me giggle along with the Alexa tuna can!
ReplyDeleteAll photos are a real winner tonight! Loved Alexa the tuna can - my 2 1/2 year great grandson asked me if I had Alexa, as they have one and he tells Alexa which songs to play. Oh the young knowing how to use today's technology. Take care.
ReplyDeleteThe first bird picture, I was fascinated by the raindrop splash behind the bird. Great timing. Thanks for them all, Al. Love & hugs to ya!
ReplyDeleteYesterday - I somehow commented as "anonymous".....? I wanted to thank you, Al - for the jackpot of cat art. Your own photography is stunning & your fall colors are amazing. Best Wishes from Dayton, Ohio.
ReplyDeleteJuncos aren't yet back at our Okanagan home...and haven't seen some of the others yet either. My favs are always the black capped chickadees (year round here) and their friendly chatter. Great photos, love the Cosmos pics. Always so many bees in cosmo flowers when I used to grow them. You two will be eating well with all the goodies that Woodsy whips up. No more peanut butter for a while *grin*. Be well, you two...and send us some rain. Weatherman keeps forecasting rain, but we want more than two spits.
ReplyDeleteBarb in Okanagan.
Enjoyed your pictures- Mary
ReplyDeleteWonderful colors throughout!! Fall is so beautiful there, thanks for sharing. And your birds are very fun. Jays have so much personality :-)
ReplyDeleteLove all the colors. I miss having seasons. Contessa
ReplyDeleteGreat bird shots - but they reminded me of how few birds we are seeing here. They've been scarce all summer.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great fall pictures Al. They will extend our memories of our favourite time of the year. G.
