I EXPECT A BREAK FROM ALL THE YARDWORK ON SATURDAY

MORNING SUNSHINE IN OUR PARK

I'm liking these cooler days for working outside.  Most of the hostas are now clipped back as well as a number of other grasses and shrubs.  I also cut down all the bamboo grass and another tall stand of an invasive bamboo stem-like plant called Japanese Knotweed.  I intentionally planted it years ago because I liked it.  Woodsy busied herself as well today, cleaning out flower beds.  We later loaded up the utility trailer and hauled it all down to the Park's recycling area. With rain now upon us, I expect a break from all the yard work on Saturday.

 OUR PARK ON AN EARLY OCTOBER MORNING

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A widower who never paid any attention to his wife while she was alive now found himself missing her desperately. He went to a psychic to see if he could contact his late wife. The psychic went into a trance. A strange breeze wafted through the darkened room, and suddenly, the man heard the unmistakable voice of his dearly departed wife. "Honey!" he cried. "Is that you?" "Yes, my husband." "Are you happy?" "Yes, my husband." "Happier than you were with me?" "Yes, my husband." "Then Heaven must be an amazing place!" "I'm not in Heaven, dear."

- My wife was blaming me for ruining her birthday.  That's ridiculous, I didn't even know it was her birthday.

- Sadly my obese parrot just died. But it's a huge weight off my shoulders.

- As I was sitting drinking my morning cup of tea in my slippers, I thought to myself...
I really must wash some cups!

- Airport police say that the number of people smuggling helium balloons in their luggage is under control. But cases continue to rise.

- A midget walks into a library and asks the librarian if there are any books about irony. The librarian says, Yes, it’s on the top shelf.

- My friend decided to get a face tattoo of his favourite Star Wars character…You should have seen the Luke on his face!

- My wife was mad at me because I only spent half a minute celebrating her birthday In my defense, she told me it was her 32nd birthday

- How can you convert dollars to pounds?
By visiting McDonalds

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."

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!"
