AND MAYBE SNAP A FEW PICS ALONG THE WAY

 I FOUND SOME COLOR IN THE COUNTRYSIDE THIS MORNING
Did you know we have only 37 nights left until we turn our clocks ahead.  Now, how's that for a positive thought to start off today's post.  Oh, and Groundhog Day is only 2 days away.  Another turning point in this long, cold winter.  We woke up to 3F this morning.  Can you spell C.O.L.D.  Nice orange sunrise through the trees though.  With clear blue skies overhead and a slight dusting of snow overnight, I decided to take myself for a drive through the countryside and maybe snap a few pics along the way.

 A FARMER BLOWING HIS LONG FARM LANE OUT
 A TOUCH OF COLOR
EVEN THIS OLD MANURE SPREADER WAS SPORTING SOME COLORS ON THIS COLD LATE JANUARY MORNING
 THIS OLD FISHING BOAT ALWAYS LOOKS SO OUT OF PLACE IN THIS FARMYARD
I EVEN SPOTTED A HORSE THIS MORNING
 A SNOWY RURAL MAILBOX
 MAYBE THIS FARMER WAS FIXIN TO COMBINE HIMSELF SOME SNOW ON THIS COLD SATURDAY MORNING
 IT WAS A GOOD MORNING FOR SPOTTING COLORS IN THE WHITE LANDSCAPE

GROANER'S CORNER:(( Finding one of her students making faces at others on the playground, Ms. Smith stopped to gently reprove the child. Smiling sweetly, the Sunday school teacher said, "Johnny, when I was a child, I was told if that I made ugly faces, it would freeze and I would stay like that." Johnny looked up and replied, "Well, Ms Smith, you can't say you weren't warned."

Q: What is a question with a different answer every time you're asked?
A: "What time is it?"

I miss the old corded telephones.  They were kinky.

Patient: "Doctor, Doctor... I can't stop stealing things".
Doctor: "Take these pills for a week. If that doesn't work, I'll have a color TV".

As the storm raged, the captain realized his ship was sinking fast. He called out, "Anyone here know how to pray?" One man stepped forward. "Aye, Captain, I know how to pray." "Good," said the captain, "You pray while the rest of us put on our life jackets – we're one short."

A Polish immigrant went to the DMV to apply for a driver's license. First, of course, he had to take an eye sight test. The optician showed him a card with the letters:
'C Z W I X N O S T A C Z.' "Can you read this?" the optician asked. "Read it?" the Polish guy replied, "I know the guy."

  1. You mailbox pic made me smile. We lived in Michigan and installed our 'winter' mailbox on a post. Every time the snowplows came through we just picked it up and jammed it into the closest snowdrift to the road.

  2. You spotted a horse! And so it was a spotted spotted horse. Maybe those were spots of snow on it? :-)

  3. Love your count down for the time change, can't wait for it to happen! Wish someone would put a blanket on that beautiful horse. Take care.

  4. We are at the Lemon Brite Laundromat in Ajo right now. It makes us think of you and Kelly and Phebes. (Looks like they put some money in to the place recently --new machines!)

  5. Al, I can count on you to know when spring is coming. Let's hope Wiarton Willie sees his shadow tomorrow and says there'll be an early spring!

  6. The daily colors of the world sure pop in that pristine snow. I was just thinking that it didn't seem that long ago I was complaining that the heat was never going to end :-))
