IT WAS SAD TO HEAR MORE CHAIN SAWS AND THE SOUNDS OF DYING TREES TODAY

 A BIG PLANE FLYING OVER OUR PARK THIS AFTERNOON
Clear blue skies from horizon to horizon and not a cloud in sight today.  Temperatures are up a bit.  I should have been outside taking advantage of that but I couldn't seem to get myself into gear.  Maybe I'm still recovering from my sneezy cheezy omellete yesterday.  A twenty-minute Jeep ride this morning and we were home again.  Puttered around outside for half an hour, vacuumed out the Jeep, and that was it for my day...........

 A LOCAL FARMER HEADS OUT INTO HIS FIELD TO DO WHATEVER LOCAL FARMERS DO WITH THEIR VARIOUS PIECES OF FARM EQUIPMENT OUT IN THEIR FIELDS
 CHAIN SAWS AND FALLING TREES WERE THE SOUNDS IN OUR PARK AGAIN TODAY....THIS WAS ONCE A NICE ENTRANCE TO THE PINE TREE TRAIL...ITS GONE NOW AND WILL SOON BE PEOPLE'S BACKYARDS
The set of photos below taken Monday morning are of the spot where I go out into the countryside to look at the stars at night.  It's clear tonight so Pheebs and I might just head out there later.  Obviously, I can't show you this place at night so while you are looking at the pics, close your eyes......just like night time:))

GROANER'S CORNER:((  A young man was visiting his brother and sister-in-law for the holidays. As he arrived at their house he found his young nephew, Timmy, helping them bake some cupcakes.  After they were done, his sister-in-law allowed Timmy to put the icing on. When the boy had finished, he brought them to the table.  "The cupcakes look delicious, Tim." his uncle said. He took a bite and said, "Timmy these are so good."  As he finished the cupcake and took another, he again complimented his little nephew. "The cupcakes look beautiful, Tim," his uncle said. "How did you get the icing so smooth?"  His nephew replied, "It was easy. I just licked them."  The uncle turned pale. He pointed to the plate of cupcakes. "You licked all of these?"  Timmie replied, "Well no. After a while my tongue got tired, and I got the dog to help."

  1. That would be a light-free spot for sky watching. And good for pictures, so I'm expecting the Milky Way in your next post.

  2. For a day of not getting into gear, I think you've done pretty well on idle. I myself like being able to see more than a 100 yards at a time, so the wide open spaces of the field look pretty good. As long as that's not all there is...which there isn't. I wuuldn't blame the omelet. Looked good....practice makes perfect. Ha. But Kelly will be home soon enough and you won't have
    to worry.

    1. Rumors still abound. One day it's sold and the next day it's not. I'm sure we the residents will be the last to know if it is. Current Park owner is not communicative with the residents at all.
