| IN OUR PARK THIS MORNING |
We here in our area of southern Ontario are so fortunate this October to be experiencing this marvelous spate of wonderful weather. Back-to-back sunny, cool days with 61F temperatures today. So nice to be outside doing things, whether it be hiking, biking, walking, or just puttering around in the late Autumn flower beds. Walking this morning, it felt more like an early September morn, and I was again surprised to be accompanied by little yellow Sulphur Butterflies. On a slow drive through the countryside afterwards, I was able to have both of Subie's front windows down, and every time I looked over to the passenger seat my heart could see Pheebs sitting there with her head out the window and her ears gently flapping in the morning breeze.

Well, I don't know what the heck I was thinking about when in yesterday's post I questioned whether I should be feeding the birds this winter. I must have been in one of my 'frugally Scrooge' modes again. Waking up clear-headed this morning and back to my old self, I slipped out the door first thing to inform and insure my little feathered and furry friends that yes, I would be here once again and they could count on me to help them through the winter. I figure if I give up my A&W Buddy Burgers for the next six months, I will be able to afford all the birdseed my little friends will eat. And judging by the comments on yesterday's post, readers are in total agreement. Thanks for the nudge in the right direction, folks:)) And, by golly, I saw Juncos in the front yard this afternoon, and that is encouraging:))

| CANADA GEESE |
It's that time of year again when I enjoy hearing familiar sounds in the sky. For the past couple of weeks, I've heard flocks of Sandhill Cranes and Tundra Swans high overhead winging their way south. Unfortunately, because of my cataract eye problem, I have not been able to see them. Maybe by next year at this time, that problem will have been corrected. I'm looking forward to that. |

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A family was visiting an Indian reservation when they happened upon an old tribesman lying face down in the middle of the road with his ear pressed firmly against the blacktop. The father of the family asked the old tribesman what he was doing. The tribesman began to speak..."woman, late thirties, three kids, one barking dog in late model, white, four-door station wagon, traveling at 65 m.p.h. "That's amazing!" exclaimed the father. "You can tell all that just by listening to the ground?" "No," said the old tribesman, weakly. "They just ran over me five minutes ago!"--------------------------------
Q: Why did the little Moron quit his job as a restroom attendant?
A: He couldn't figure out how to refill the hand dryer!
- Both my wife and I are bad cooks. Our cooking is so bad, that our kids have started praying after we've had dinner.
- Just changed my Facebook name to 'No one', so when I see stupid posts I can click like and it will say 'No one likes this'.

A preacher, newly called to a small country town, needed to mail a letter. Passing a young boy on the street, the pastor asked where he could find the post office.
After getting his answer, the minister thanked the boy and said, “If you’ll come to the community church this evening, you can hear me tell everyone how to get to heaven.” “I don’t know, sir,” the boy replied. “You don’t even know how to get to the post office!”
