NOW, IF ONLY I COULD REMEMBER WHERE IT WAS I HID MY JAR OF PEANUT BUTTER

 A FEW PICS AROUND OUR PARK'S POND THIS MORNING
Another hot one, and I'm sure it is not just me who will be very happy to see cooler weather roll in.  Notice I said 'cooler', and not 'colder'!!  But, I will tell you this....In my opinion, it is preferable to be trapped inside by summer's heat rather than winter's cold.  So, here's the consolation, Autumn is soon to be on our doorstep, and for me, it is my favorite time of year and a season I always look forward to.  Bring it on:))  And, when it's over, just.....GET ME OUT OF HERE!!!!

 THERE WERE ABOUT 50 PEOPLE DOING YOGA IN BAYFIELD'S PIONEER PARK THIS MORNING
Now that my grass is growing well, I think I will extend my grass project to other areas around the house and carport.  But, not until the days cool off a bit.

 THAT IS THE BENCH WITH KELLY'S PLAQUE ON IT

Lorraine headed home to Stratford for a few days this afternoon.  Now, if only I could remember where it was I hid my jar of peanut butter before she got here last week.

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A boy was assigned a paper on childbirth and asked his parents, "How was I born?" "Well honey..." said the slightly prudish parent, "the stork brought you to us." "Oh," said the boy. "Well, how did you and daddy get born?" he asked. "Oh, the stork brought us too." "Well how were grandpa and grandma born?" he persisted. "Well darling, the stork brought them too!" said the parent, by now starting to squirm a little in the Lazy Boy recliner. Several days later, the boy handed in his paper to the teacher who read with confusion the opening sentence: "This report has been very difficult to write because there hasn't been a natural childbirth in my family for three generations."

Q. Did you hear about the new sushi bar that caters exclusively to lawyers?
A. It's called, Sosumi.

- You know you've reached middle age...
When you're cautioned to slow down by your doctor, instead of by the police.

- I got hit in the head with a can of Coke today. Don’t worry, I’m not hurt. It was a soft drink.

- I am looking for someone to brush their teeth with me. I am really concerned after I found out that 9 out of 10 dentists say brushing alone won't reduce cavities.

- A skunk, a deer, and a duck went out to dinner, and when it came time to pay
the skunk didn't have a scent and the deer didn't have a buck. So they put it on the duck's bill

- I recently paid $1 for a wig. It was a small price toupee.

AND, IT WAS ON TIME TOO

 SATURDAY NIGHT'S STURGEON MOON TAKEN THROUGH A HAZY CLOUD COVER...THE MOON APPEARED A CHEESY, BURNT ORANGE IN THE HEAVY ATMOSPHERE, BUT I SHOW IT HERE IN BLACK AND WHITE FOR CLARITY
Another hot and humid day.  We again hit 90F.  Spent most of my time inside, enjoying the coolness of central air conditioning.  I did get out for a short country road drive this morning, and with front windows down and the sunroof open, I could hear Crickets in the ditches and Cicadas in the trees as I slowly ambled my way along the dusty, gravel road.  Another hot day tomorrow..........Saturday night, Woodsy and I took a drive into and around Bayfield, and then headed off out into the countryside to a high spot on Tower Hill Road to watch the full Moon rise at 9:08 p.m.  And, it was on time too.
