SOMETHING TO DO WITH CHRISTMAS, SHE SAID

I slipped out into the countryside on Wednesday, braving the cold night's air to see if I could catch me a meteorite or two from the Draconid Meteor Shower, but I didn't have any luck.  The night sky remained frigidly motionless, so I didn't stay too long.  Took a few iPhone pics and called it a day.

OUT AND ABOUT IN THE COLD NIGHT AIR
 NO, I AM NOT DRIVING THROUGH AN ALF ALFA FIELD
A bright sunny morning, but only about ten degrees above freezing.  If this were an early Spring day, it would feel like a heat wave.  But, not so much at this time of year.  Mainly a day of readying the yard for winter.  More things into storage, like a table and a few more outside chairs.  Another utility trailer load of stuff to the Park's recycle area.  Woodsy and I took a walk to the south end of the Park in search of some Silver Birch branches, where I knew there to be some.  We came back carrying a light load.  Something to do with Christmas, she said.

GROANER'S CORNER:(( Visiting the modern art museum, a lady turned to an attendant standing nearby. "This," she said, "I suppose, is one of those hideous representations you call modern art?"  "No, Madam," replied the attendant. "That one's called a mirror."

A boss tells his new employee, "I'll give you 8 bucks an hour starting today and in three months, I'll raise it to 10 bucks an hour. So when would you like to start?" "In 3 months."

What did one plate say to the other plate?
Lunch is on me.

An Australian was in Ireland. On his way to Belfast, he stopped at a bar and asked one of the locals, "What's the quickest way
to Belfast?" The Irishmen asked, "Are you walking or driving?" The Australian replied, "I'm driving!" The Irishman said, "Aye,
that'd be the quickest way!"

  1. Ooooh, there's nothing that says Christmas like birch branches in a big display with red berries and assorted dried reeds. Woodsy sounds very artsy. Attagirl.

  2. Another lovely Fall day in our area of the world. I love that you’re getting out to enjoy it! My dad was a florist and would get us out gathering nature’s gifts to include in displays and arrangements. Some of my favourite family memories! Looking forward to see what Woodsy creates 😊
