AND THAT'S ABOUT IT

EVENING GROSBEAK
A very routine day in late November leaves me with little to say. A morning run up to Goderich and back for Pheebs and I and an afternoon spent in my recliner reading and snoozing.  A short afternoon walk under cold damp skies and that's about it for post number 4,573:))

GROANER'S CORNER:((   A man, his head seriously misshapen, stood drinking in a bar in Johannesburg. A youngster started to laugh and point at the man.  The barman said "Don't you EVER laugh at that man. He is a national hero. There was a mining disaster, and that man stood with a wooden beam on his head for 4 hours whilst rescue workers rescued 34 other miners. That is why is head is flat".  "Wow", said the youngster, "that is really impressive. But what about his cauliflower ears?"  Oh, that is where they hammered him into place under the beam."

  1. So the routine day produced some fine photos of goldfinch and a sparrow...which give pleasure to others. Not a bad routine day. And that's a lot of posts. Don't stop now....maybe next year.

  2. I would be thrilled to have a grosbeak at my feeder once again. Had them the first winter Thirty years ago when I first moved to the Kawarthas. They would come every morning around 9:30. Have not seen one since..
