WELL OKAY I GUESS IF YOU CHANGED A FEW LETTERS AROUND IT MIGHT READ ‘POLLY WOGS AND LILY PADS’

Out of apples for my morning shakes Pheebs and I headed off to Goderich shortly after eight.  Picked up half a dozen other items and came home without the apples.  Not that there weren't any apples in Goderich.  I just plumb forgot to pick me up the apples.   Not a good start to my day.  I'll have another go at it tomorrow.  In the meantime I'll leave you with a few photos I took this morning...................

FARMERS DON’T SEEM TO PLOW UP THEIR FIELDS AS MUCH AS THEY ONCE DID AND WITH NEWER MODERN EQUIPMENT I’M THINKING MAYBE THEY HAVE A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT WAY OF DOING THINGS THESE DAYS

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A doctor enters into a patient's room and informs the patient that he has good news and bad news. He then asks the patient which news he would like to hear. The patient responds, "Doctor, give me the good  news."The doctor says, "Well we are gonna name a disease after you."

-------------------------

The man looked a little worried when the doctor came in to administer his annual physical, so the first thing the doctor did was to ask whether anything was troubling him.  "Well, to tell the truth, Doc, yes," answered the patient. "You see, I seem to be getting forgetful. I'm never sure I can remember where I put the car, or whether I answered a letter, or where I'm going, or what it is I'm going to do once I get there -- if I get there. So, I really need your help. What can I do?"  The doctor mused for a moment, then answered in his kindest tone, "Pay me in advance."

  1. This could have been called "A Day of Tails"...deer tails, turkey tails, tractor tails, blue jay tails, plane tails, lily pad tails, frog tails....Oh My! yep, I loved every picture and every word. That's no tall tale!

  2. I think the plane is a Canadair CT-141 Tutor, used from 1961-2000. I guess that means that one must be a privately owned "warbird".

    1. Yes that is a possibility. It is either the same or very close to what Canada's 'Snowbirds' acrobatic team fly. The nose looks a little longer than a Snowbird jet but that could simply be from the angle I was looking at it. I have seen the Snowbirds perform at air shows a number of times and I recall their front ends being a tad wider and shorter.

  3. Love the deer in the field - looks like a piece of interesting art! I can't count the number of times I've gone to the store for a specific item and that's the only thing I don't come home with.
