TRYING TO GET MYSELF UNMUDDLED

 OUR PATH THROUGH THE FOREST ON THE NORTH SIDE OF WALKERS POND WAS LIKE A WALK THROUGH AN ENCHANTED FOREST TODAY

With my legs feeling much better this morning and with boots and paws on the ground and sunny skies overhead, Pheebs and I dusted up our favorite country road earlier today.  After that, we headed home, parked the Jeep, and trotted out the Subaru.  

 A DUSTING OF SNOW THIS MORNING??  NOPE, JUST A FIELD OF DANDELIONS THAT HAVE GONE TO SEED

SOME OF THIS SPRING'S RECENTLY PLANTED SEEDS ARE ALREADY SPROUTING AND BREAKING THE SURFACE

At 10 a.m. we were all in the car heading to the Zurich Vets where Pheebs had a follow-up check on her ear problem.  Still a lot of yeast in her ears and we now have two separate medications which she needs to be syringed into her ears for the next two weeks and then once a week for an indefinite period of time.  The Vet said her ear canals are narrowed and that is part of the problem leading to the yeast infection.  I figure it is part of the reason she doesn't hear as well too.

 'OH NO MOM AND DAD ARE GOING TO TAKE ME TO THE VET AGAIN'

From the Vets we headed to London's Victoria Hospital for Kelly's 12:30 Plasmapheresis treatment.  Dropping her off Pheebs and headed for the Westminster Ponds area and walked the path on the north side of Walkers Pond this afternoon.  It was warm but not hot and luckily no bugs.  I had parked the Subaru in the shade and on returning to the car pulled my gravity chair out of the car, set it up on the grass, and relaxed with my Kindle.  Pheebs explored around and had a couple big snoozes beside my chair.  My flip phone rang at about 2:30 p.m. and Kelly was ready to go.  Minutes later we were on our way home with a short stop at Wendys for coffees and a snack.  We were home at 4:20 p.m.

 I WONDER HOW MANY ELVES, GNOMES, AND FAIRIES LIVE HERE BENEATH THIS BIG OLD TREE

 A WOOD GATOR ON THE FOREST FLOOR

 YES, THERE IS DEFINITELY A FACE IN THIS OLD GNARLY TREE

 AND ANOTHER FACE HIGHER UP IN THE SAME TREE

 DESPITE BRACKISH WATER LYING ABOUT WE NEVER ENCOUNTERED ONE SINGLE MOSQUITO

 WALKERS POND ALONGSIDE THE TRAIL

And I think I had better get myself unmuddled.  With so much going on, I thought today was Wednesday until a quarter of the way to London when Kelly informed me it was Tuesday.  So that kind of partially messed up the travel itinerary I wrote about in yesterday's post.  It was today that Pheebs had the Vet appointment and we went to London's Victoria Hospital.  Not tomorrow. (which I assume is Wednesday now)  Kelly does have an appointment with her Nurse Practitioner in Goderich tomorrow if it really is Wednesday.  She has been having a lot of pain in her lower back.  Thursday and Friday are as I previously stated, and we do not have to go back to Victoria Hospital Saturday.  It will be next Wednesday. (there's that darn Wednesday thing again)

GROANER'S CORNER:((   A young girl who was writing a paper for school came to her father and asked, “Dad, what is the difference between anger and exasperation?”  The father replied, “It is mostly a matter of degree. Let me show you what I mean.”  With that the father went to the telephone and dialed a number at random. To the man who answered the phone, he said, “Hello, is Melvin there?”  The man answered, “There is no one living here named Melvin. Why don't you learn to look up numbers before you dial”.  “See,” said the father to his daughter. “That man was not a bit happy with our call. He was probably very busy with something and we annoyed him. Now watch….”  He dialed the same number, and when a violent voice roared, “Hello!”  The father calmly said, “Hello, this is Melvin. Have there been any calls for me".

- Someone stole my broken calculator, but I don't know why.  It just doesn't add up.

- How do you get a one-armed man out of a tree?

Wave!

- A little girl became restless as the preacher's sermon dragged on and on. Finally, she leaned over to her mother and whispered, "Mommy, if we give him the money now, will he let us go?"
