BOUNCING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN MY RECLINERS

GOLDFINCHES AT OUR FEEDERS TODAY
Bayfield's 'Bayfield Breeze' explains the work at Bayfield's beach as a bank revetment project below Pioneer Park on the north west section of the park's bank.  And here I thought they were building a 12 story Casino and theme park.
THE BANK IN QUESTION IS DOWN THERE OFF TO THE RIGHT
BAYFIELDERS OUT AND ABOUT FOR A MORNING WALK
NOT A SLIVER OF ICE LEFT ON THE LAKE ANYWHERE
With a homemade coffee in hand on a warmer morning for a change Pheebs and I took ourselves for a short cruise into Bayfield and a few miles beyond.  With cloudy skies overhead it's that transitional time of year before things bloom forth in profusions of color.  The countryside without sunshine this morning looked dull and gray and lifeless.  After a short leg stretch stop we headed home.
AREA GARDEN CENTERS ARE GEARING UP FOR ANOTHER BUSY SPRING SEASON
Before rains arrived around noon I was at least able to get Kelly's car washed and from thereon the day quietly slid into the past.  Both my living room and sun room recliners tossed me back and forth nulling my senses into various forms of semi-consciousness.  In other words, it was a snoozy afternoon.

With a steady Spring rain upon us there was no forest walk today and even if I donned a rain coat I would be walking by myself.  Pheebs doesn't like water and if it's raining she totally refuses to even go out the door.  Even at the lake she only goes as far as the water's edge and will not go in.  I have sometimes wondered if in the two years before we met her she had maybe been thrown into the water a few times and it was not a good experience for her.  Wouldn't be for me either if someone threw me into the water.

GROANER'S CORNER:((  It had been snowing for hours when an announcement came over the University's intercom: "Will the students who are parked on University Drive please move their cars so that we may begin plowing."  Twenty minutes later there was another announcement: "Will the twelve hundred students who went to move 26 cars please return to class."

I was browsing in a souvenir shop when the man next to me struck up a conversation. Just as he was telling me that his wife was getting carried away with her shopping, a brief power shortage caused the lights to flicker overhead. "Ah," he sighed that must he her checking out now."

  1. Those birds must have been hungry. I go through 40 pounds of bird feed in less than a week. So, don't ever tell me I eat like bird. . .

  2. It was one of those weather days around here for sure, always something to keep us occupied though.

  3. Looks like a week of of bad weather here in Roseneath but at least it's warm. Things will warm up quickly now when the sun comes out. With the ice gone the water will start to warm up and everything around it will as well. Lazy days are good.

  5. Pheebs not going out when it rains made me kaugh. I had a Great Dane and she would not even walk in a puddle. From all the dogs I've had they either loved water or didn't want to have anything to do with it. So funny. Love your writing. Read your blog almost every day.
