WET DAYS FOR BLUE JAYS

DSC_0014

EVEN THE SOGGY SUET WAS STICKING TO THE BLUE JAYS BILLS

Although a number of tasks awaited me outside, in the carport, the sheds, and the Motorhome I couldn’t seem to drag myself out of the house into the cold and clammy mornings air.  Our heavy rain advisory for Saturday night and Sunday petered out with a few errant showers here and there so it was inside we stayed all day.  Tucked myself away in the warm corner of our sunroom beside our cozy Vermont fireplace sitting in a recliner with my Kindle reading for much of the day.  An occasional sit down at the computer with a few good forages to the fridge thrown in for good measure pretty much rounded out my time.  Throw in a sprinkling of television and a DVD entitled ‘Beyond the Sea’ staring Kevin Spacey about the life and times of singer Bobby Darin and that was pretty much my day.  We’ll see what Monday brings, it’s supposed to be 20 degrees warmer with a slight chance of some sun between showers.  We along with the Blue Jays are hopeful for a nicer day…………….

GROANER’S CORNER:((  A rural couple living in the USA, had nine children. They went to the doctor to see about getting the husband "fixed".
The doctor asked them why, after 9 children, would they choose to do this.  The husband replied that they had read a recent article that 1 out of every 10 children being born in America was Mexican and they didn't want a Mexican baby because neither of them could speak Spanish.

  1. The wind nearly blew us off the map today. Yep, we had gust of 50 and 60 mph. It's still huffing at 40+. I think we had some rain falling along the way, but no telling where those raindrops landed. Many of the local birds had created a nest, but many of them were lost to the wind. I loved the bird pictures and know they are not fond of that chilly rain. Have a good week!

  4. It's funny to me how wet birds always look furry instead of feathery :-))

  5. I stay at a park in the Cleveland Ohio area. I can't even imagine coming home to cold, windy, rainy weather if I don't have to. Even in mid May my weather is still inclement ..... Brrrrrrr!
