| SLIPPED INTO BAYFIELD THURSDAY NIGHT FOR A FEW SUNSET PICS |
With a 'frost' warning issued this morning, I didn't even consider heading out for a walk. Instead, I donned my winter coat, grabbed my wheelbarrow, and busied myself again around the front flower beds. Two days ago, I planted my three Dianthus plants, and yesterday I dumped a bag of mulch in around them. And, last night, I had a hunch that mulch dump was maybe not a good idea around those Dianthus plants. I hopped aboard the internet and found out my hunch was right. So, this morning I scraped away the mulch around the plants and added a thin layer of pea stone. Sometimes, hunches are good darn things.

GROANER'S CORNER:(( Harvey's grandfather clock suddenly stops working one day, so he loads it into his van and takes it to a clock repair shop. In the shop is a little old man who insists he is Swiss and has a heavy German accent. He asks Harvey, "Vat sims to be ze problem?" Harvey says, "I'm not sure, but it doesn't go 'tick-tock tick-tock' anymore. Now it just goes 'tick...tick...tick.'" The old man says, "Mmm-Hm!" and steps behind the counter, where he rummages around a bit. He emerges with a huge flashlight and walks over to the grandfather clock. He turns the flashlight on and shines it directly into the clock's face. Then he says in a menacing voice, "Ve haf vays of making you tock!"

A man received two sweaters for Hanukkah from his mother. The next time he visited her, he made sure to wear one of the two sweaters. As he entered her home, instead of the expected smile, she said, "What's the matter? You didn't like the other one?"

After the revival had concluded, the three pastors were discussing the results with one another. The Methodist minister said, "The revival worked out great for us! We gained 4 new families." The Baptist preacher said, "We did better than that! We gained 6 new families." The Presbyterian pastor said, "Well, we did even better than that! We got rid of our 10 biggest trouble makers!"

The elf couple photos are so adorable and I love the one with all the kids sharing a meal with the grandparents. Take care.
ReplyDeleteDid you see the little boy closest to Grandma has a beard?
DeleteJust love the gnomes and their village, homes and frog Queen.
Thanks so much Al. Barb in FL
The new plantings your park owner did last year sure look good. That's going to be a gorgeous area as they fill in. The internet is certainly a handy resource for questions such as yours on dianthus mulch. How unfortunate it's still so cool in your area. Meant to ask earlier: do you also have a hummingbird feeder? Your love of birds is wonderful, maybe hummingbird feeders are included?
ReplyDeleteLove... L O V E your blog; looking forward to read it everyday. Adorable little Dalmatian !! The forest gnomes are to die for ❤️ ❤️ ❤️.
ReplyDeleteWow, smart to do the research. I don't always do that, thinking that I know what I'm doing. Ok, lesson learned. Thanks. :-)
