BUNNY TRACKS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DRIVEWAY |
Checking the weather forecast and casting an eye out the window I saw that there was very little wind and no snow in the air. Talked it over with Pheebs and we decided to head out to see what we could see. Rolling out of the forest under cloudy skies, the air was clear enough to see for miles so off we went east down Bayfield River Road. No worries about poor visibility. At the end of Bayfield River Road, we made a U-turn and headed home. I had stuff to do. Possessed by an unexpected burst of energy, I wasn't long in getting into things. Dishes had to be done and I got a load of laundry in. Out came the vacuum cleaner and away I went. The washroom was in need of cleaning so out came the cleaners and cleansers. In the spare room where I have all my clothes I 'finally' got into my closets where things have been hanging for years. As I have mentioned before in my blog, most of my clothes were brought over on the Mayflower a century or two ago and then eventually brought north by dog sled to the Hudson Bay Company whereupon they languished in obscurity until I found them over a period of time in an assortment of second-hand clothing stores. Some of them had a few rips and tears and buttons missing but that's okay, I've never been too fussy about clothes. A friend once remarked, 'You always look like you just crawled out of a dumpster'. "Thank You I always say, "I'll take that as one mighty fine compliment". I filled up two large clear plastic garbage bags with five pairs of powder blue denim Jeans with all the worn and frayed holes in the right places where younger people like them. Half a dozen shirts and a couple of jackets. I'm doin' good but it hardly put a dent in my small clothes closet.
THE LOGGING OPERATION AT THE EAST END OF BAYFIELD RIVER ROAD IS STILL GOING ON |
THE ONLY BLOWING SNOW I SAW THIS MORNING WAS COMING FROM A FARMER'S SNOWBLOWER |
THIS SNOWY WINTER HAS BEEN HARD ON RURAL MAILBOXES NOT TO MENTION THE FARMER'S TRYING TO GET THEIR MAIL |
I PULLED SOME SNOW OFF THE SHED ROOF WITH MY BIG SNOW RAKE |

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A man went to his lawyer and told him, "My neighbor owes me $500 and he doesn't want to pay up. What should I do?" "Do you have any proof?" asked the lawyer. "Nope," replied the man. "Okay, then write a letter asking him for the $1000 he owes you," said the lawyer. "But it's only $500," replied the man. "Precisely. That's what he will reply and we will have the proof we need to nail him."

Sue: My uncle is an umpire in a restaurant.
Lou: In a restaurant?
Sue: Yes. When someone orders pancakes, he yells, “Batter up!”

Knock-knock.
Who's there?
Dishes.
Dishes who?
Dishes the police! Come out with your hands up!

On a rural road a state trooper pulled this farmer over and said: "Sir, do you realize your wife fell off the tractor several miles back?" To which the farmer replied: "Thank God, I thought I had gone deaf!"
