LUCKILY, I ONLY HAD TO GO INTO ONE OF THE THREE:))

 DESPITE OUR ONGOING COLD SPRING, THE DAYLILIES ARE SURGING UPWARD FROM THEIR WINTER HIBERNATION

Sunny day.......but cold.  No matter, more yard work caught up this morning.  I'm slowly getting there.  Woodsy and I slipped up to Goderich early this afternoon with a planned 3 stops.  Food Basics, Zehr's Supermarket, and Walmart.  Luckily, I only had to go into one of the three to pick up a prescription at the Walmart Pharmacy.  A lazy afternoon........

It was 7:15 this evening when we hopped into the Subaru and took the short drive into Bayfield for another sunset.  Drove down to Bayfield's beach for a series of photos then back up the bluffs into Bayfield's Pioneer Park for a second series of photos.  I will post a few of tonight's pics and a few more tomorrow when I think it is a cloudy day we are in for.

Al's Music Box:))  Mellow Yellow is a song written and recorded by Scottish singer-songwriter Donovan.  Released in the US in 1966, it reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. Outside the US, "Mellow Yellow" peaked at No. 8 in the UK in early 1967.  The song was rumored to be about smoking dried banana skins, which was believed to be a hallucinogenic drug in the 1960s, though this aspect of bananas has since been debunked.  According to Donovan's liner notes for the album Donovan's Greatest Hits, the rumor that one could get high from smoking dried banana skins was started by Joe McDonald in 1966, and Donovan heard the rumor three weeks before "Mellow Yellow" was released as a single.  Donovan had originally written the song as a throwaway sing-a-long for private parties, and was surprised when producer Mickie Most chose it to be the follow up single to "Sunshine Superman". The song was arranged by session musician John Paul Jones and became one of his first to achieve international success. At first Donovan was disappointed in the horn sound, until Jones came up with the idea to use "hats" (horn mutes) to achieve the required "mellow" mood.  In addition, Donovan tuned his acoustic guitar to a D-major drone to mimic slide blues players.  Paul McCartney can be heard as one of the background revelers on this track but contrary to rumour, the "quite rightly" whispering line in the chorus is not McCartney, but rather Donovan himself.  Donovan had a small part in coming up with the lyrics for "Yellow Submarine", so McCartney returned the favor by helping out on the title track and playing uncredited bass guitar on portions of the MellowYellow Submarine album.

I THINK THESE JUST MIGHT TURN INTO DAFFODILS ONE OF THESE DAYS

GROANER'S CORNER: A Chinese person walks into a bar in America late one night and sees Steven Spielberg. As he was a great fan of his movies, he rushes over to

him, and asks for his autograph.
Instead, Spielberg gives him a slap and says "You Chinese people bombed
our Pearl Harbor, get out of here."
The astonished Chinese man replied "It was not the Chinese who bombed
your Pearl Harbor , it was the Japanese".
"Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese, you're all the same," replied Spielberg.
In return, the Chinese gives Spielberg a slap and says "You sank the
Titanic; my forefathers were on that ship."
Shocked, Spielberg replies "It was the iceberg that sank the ship, not
me."
The Chinese replies, "Iceberg, Spielberg, Carlsberg, you're all the
same."
