IMAGINE THAT, LEAVING ME IN CHARGE OF ALL THOSE MUFFINS AND TARTS

 EVERYTIME I SEE THESE LONG FARM LANES I WANT TO TURN IN AND SEE WHERE THEY GO

Rain gently arrived sometime in the early morning and decided to stay around for the whole day.  I did make it out for a drive, but only went down to the end of Bayfield River Road and back, following my windshield wipers all the way.  However, I did manage a few photos.  

 JUST THINK, EVERYTHING YOU SEE IN THIS PHOTO WILL BE DEAD IN A FEW MONTHS...NOW, HOW'S THAT FOR A SOBERING THOUGHT EH

With doing anything outside today out of the question, it turned out to be an inside day, doing bits of cleaning here and there between a couple of coffee breaks and a few short snoozes thrown in for good measure.  

 IN ABOUT ANOTHER SIX WEEKS, THIS CORN WILL BE READY FOR HARVESTING

Woodsy, after baking a batch of carrot-pineapple muffins and a whole tray of butter tarts, headed off back home to Stratford earlier this evening.  Imagine that, leaving ME in charge of all those muffins and tarts.  Oh, they'll be safe with me, I assured her:))  And, she left the fridge full of food for me as well until she returns in a few days.

 HERE'S WOODSY  IN THE FRONT, YARD GIVING A BIG SCOLDING TO A SQUIRREL THAT HAD JUST GOT ONTO THE BIRD STATION AND WAS EATING ALL THE BIRDSEED

It's still raining at the time of posting tonight, so I'll not be out and about chasing down another sunset or tooling around on the darkened country roads gazing at the stars as I go.

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A photographer for a national magazine was assigned to take pictures of a great forest fire. He was advised that a small plane would be waiting to fly him over the fire. The photographer arrived at the airstrip just an hour before sundown. Sure enough, a small Cessna airplane was waiting. He jumped in with his equipment and shouted, "Let's go!" The tense man sitting in the pilot's seat swung the plane into the wind and soon they were in the air, though flying erratically. "Fly over the north side of the fire," said the photographer, "And make several low-level passes." "Why?" asked the nervous pilot. "Because I'm going to take pictures!" yelled the photographer. "I'm a photographer, and photographers take pictures!" The pilot replied, "You mean you're not the flight instructor?"

- When I was at the gym yesterday, everyone kept asking me why I was always sitting still on the stationary bike. I’m going downhill, dude, mind your own business.

- A man walked into a hardware store and picked up a can of fly spray. "Is this good for wasps?" he asks the assistant. To which she replies "No, it kills them."

GROANER'S CORNER:(( During the cold winter, a family was preparing to go out for an evening activity. The wife, who was normally bustling about getting the children ready to leave, was this evening instead standing right inside the front door, her arms full of coats. And instead of being prepared to leave, her four small children were busy running circles around her, playing one of their non-stop games of tag. Her husband, coming down the stairs, was shocked at the spectacle. “Honey,” he said, “What are you doing just standing there? We'll be late!” “Here,” his wife replied, handing him the coats with a smug smile, “I thought that this time you would like to have the privilege of putting the children into their coats, while I go out and honk the horn.”

A man died and his wife phoned the newspaper to place an obituary. She called the obituary department and said, "This is what I want to print: Bernie is dead." The man at the newspaper said, "But for $25 you are allowed to print six words." The woman answered, "OK. Then print: Bernie is dead. Toyota for sale."

A pastor, known for his lengthy sermons, noticed a man get up and leave during the middle of his message. The man returned just before the conclusion of the service. Afterwards, the pastor asked the man where he had gone. "I went to get a haircut," was the reply. "But," said the pastor, "why didn't you do that before the service?"
"Because," the gentleman said, "I didn't need one then."

A kindergarten teacher gave her class a "show and tell" assignment. Each student was instructed to bring in an object to share with the class that represented their religion. The first student got up in front of the class and said, "My name is Benjamin, and I am Jewish, and this is a Star of David."The second student got up in front of the class and said, "My name is Mary. I'm a Catholic, and this is the Crucifix." The third student got in up front of the class and said, " My name is Tommy and I am a Baptist, and this is a casserole."
