THUNDER BOOMERS ROLLED IN BRINGING WELCOME RAIN:))

DSC_0033  OUR DIGS IN THE SLIGHTLY FOGGY PINES 

Thunder Boomers rolled in about mid morning bringing with them a touch of lightning & a nice dump of much needed rain.  My newly planted cedar trees were especially happy.

Kelly slipped into work for an hour & then headed off to London for some of that browsing & shopping stuff.  The offer was on the table for me to go along but I graciously declined.  Why would I leave a quiet pine forest for the chaos of a large city shopping mall.  Nope, don't make no sense to me neither.

I should probably get into the habit of changing the blog's header photo more often because every time I go to do it I can never remember how I did it previously.  I wait too long between changes & the brain's memory cells fail to retain the mental instructions.  I have a set of written instructions here on how to do it but it seems I always have to start over & figure it out from scratch anyway.  I have 3 different size monitors here & that blog header pic fits within the frame differently on each screen.  I based the size on our smallest laptop which fits the frame perfectly.  Hopefully it is not too big for whatever size monitor you are viewing it on.

And, before I forget for the third day in a row, the Bayfield Bunch welcomes new blog followers, 'happytrailsga.'  Nice to have you along folks & I hope my blog driving doesn't scare you away too soon.

Thought I would try out Twitter a bunch of months ago.  Tried to keep my attitude positive as I stuck with it for a couple months trying to make some logical sense out of what seemed to me a rather senseless program.  Clearly aimed at the younger generation & their obsessive need to continuously yak at each other about totally nothing.  I would put Twitter on the same level as texting when it comes to that yak obsession & can understand how those kinds of things in the hands of kids become totally out of control.  Sad to think so much of the world's valuable & irreplaceable energies & resources are used up by kids on electronic devices with nothing better to do that twit & text their friends with stuff like, "Well, I'm going over to Bills."  "Ok, just went out the door."  "Um like I just went down the steps man." "Oh I am so buzzed Dude."  "Just got into my Dad's cool car."  Bonus man, Snoop Dogs on the radio playing my totally awesome song Bro."  "Major volume vibes guys, can ya hear me now"..... LOL LOL LOL" "R-U-C-ing me yet man." Oooo, cool phone colors Geeker."  Arrrrrgggghhh!!!!

GROANER'S CORNER:((  There is the story of a pastor who got up one Sunday and announced to his
congregation: "I have good news and bad news.  The good news is, we have
enough money to pay for our new building program. The bad news is, it's
still out there in your pockets."

  1. Hi Al and Kelly and fur-friends !!

    Hey, Al.....just wanted to let you know that your blog is now one of our favourites, and that not a day goes by without us checking in on you guys.

    Your photos are second to none, and even on those days when you don't have earth-shattering news, we still enjoy your daily thoughts and photos.

    We absolutely love your
    home-sweet-home, and wish there was something like that here in Regina. We would move there in a heartbeat. Alas, we are stuck on the boring old prairies....LOL

    PS - Ever since you mentioned Soma FM and specifically Groove Salad, we have been thoroughly enjoying those funky tunes....thanks for thinking of mentioning it.

    Oh oh....this is getting a little too long, so better run....but, we just wanted to let you know how much we LOVE your blog !!

    Your cyber friends, Trent & Teresa

  2. It sounds like you are spending a little too much time on twitter! You are doing the dialog just a little too well (HAHAHA). Loved your photos today.

  3. We presume you dropped your twitter in the twash! (If you missed that one, it's "trash" as Elmer Fudd would have said it. I thought it would go well with "twitter," but then what do I know?)

  4. Congratulations on getting 3 terrific years out of your MH. I'm sure you'll get many, many more but with 3 years already done, at least you can be satisfied that it was a really good deal!!

    Twitter?? Like you, I created an account months and months ago now, haven't used it - totally useless and even worse than Facebook.

    Your new header works on both by 17" 16 x 9 format screen and my 17" 4 x 3 format monitor. Can't wait to see it when my new 21.5" monitor arrives next week!
