TOMORROW WILL BE ANOTHER DAY

Under cool cloudy skies, Pheebs and I dusted up a few country roads this morning keeping an eye out for a few photos.  I didn't see much.  Most farm animals are tucked away in their warm barns now and all the harvesting things are done until next year's late Spring.  The landscape looks a little barren and there were very few vehicles out and about on the country roads.  That part I liked.

 CABLE LAYING OUTSIDE OUR PARK ENTRANCE THIS MORNING
 I THINK THIS HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH HIGH-SPEED INTERNET

Looking out the window first thing this morning there was of course a squirrel atop the bird feeding station.  Home from our Jeep ride, I kept a close eye on that feeder for the rest of the morning waiting to see how that squirrel had got there.  There's a tall pine tree about a mile and a half east of our location and I suspect he might have jumped from there:))  But watch as I did today there was nary a squirrel in the air anywhere so I have ended the day still not knowing how that morning squirrel got onto the bird station.  Tomorrow will be another day.

WE STILL HAVE A WEE BIT OF COLOR IN OUR FRONT FLOWERBED

Pheebs and I did make it out for another afternoon walk over by the Park's pond but there wasn't much out there to grab my imagination or the camera's attention.  These uninspiring early December days are looking very drab and dull outside.

In my Anne Of Green Gables series, I just finished 'Anne's House of Dreams' and have started  'Anne of Ingleside'.  Author Lucy Maude Montgomery wrote the first book 'Anne of Green Gables in 1908. 'Anne of Avonlea' in 1909. 'Anne of the Island' in 1915.  Anne's House of Dreams' in 1917. 'Anne of Windy Poplars' in 1936 and 'Anne of Ingleside' in 1939.  I can't begin to tell you how much I am enjoying these books, and they have coaxed both chuckles and tears out of this grumpy old codger...........   

GROANER'S CORNER:(( An elementary school teacher decides to pole the class on the difficulty of last night's homework assignment:  How many people were able to complete the assignment without parents help?  About 25% of the class raises their hands. How many people we able to complete the assignment with the help of a parent? About 70% of the class raises their hand. The teacher still notices about 5% of the class did not raise their hands.  She then calls out, "How many people had to help a parent complete your assignment?

A little boy came home eating a big candy bar. Seeing the candy bar, his mother remembered he had already spent all his allowance money. Surprised, she asked him where he got it. "I bought it at the store with the dollar you gave me," he said."But that dollar was for Sunday School," his mother replied. Smiling, the boy said, "I know, Mom, but the Pastor met me at the door and got me in for free!"

  1. Please remind me why you aren't headed south this year. You've probably told up before but I can't find the entry where it was discussed. Thanks.

  3. You keep making me want to read the Anne series once again. I continue to recommend the Jalna series, first published in '27. A family in Ontario (ok, they're sort of rich, but what the heck) saga.I really really like it. And by the way, your photos are not drab and uninteresting, in spite of how you feel about what you've seen today..

  4. Al, I am totally enjoying (I know to your dismay) your segments on the leaping from afar squirrels. Laugh out loud funny and at this point in time I think we all need a good laugh now and then. Thank you Al!

  6. High speed cable should speed up your picture uploads. The older you get, the smarter the squirrels become. :) Might be a losing battle.
