A GREAT OUTSIDE SPRING CLEAN-UP DAY

AREA RIVERS ARE ALREADY OVER THEIR BANKS AS SEEN HERE WHERE THE MAITLAND RIVER CROSSES UNDER BALL’S BRIDGE……LOOKING UPSTREAM
Nice big bright sunny Sunday & I was able to get myself most of our front yard clean-up done.  Two full utility trailer loads of pine needles to our Park’s recycle area.  Now for the back yard.  Other than that I’ll just leave you with a few left over photos from our Saturday morning Jeep ride.  Heavy rain bearing down on us at the moment & might sweep in around midnight.  We almost hit 70F today & I am so tired tonight I am most likely typing this in my sleep:))

DSC_0010GROANER’S CORNER:(( (thanks Dave I got rid of the emoticon option)  ……..  There were three guys talking in the pub. Two of them are talking about the amount of control they have over their wives, while the third remains quiet.  After a while one of the first two turns to the third and says, “Well, what about you, what sort of control do you have over your wife?”  The third fellow says “I’ll tell you. Just the other night my wife came crawling to me on her hands and knees.”  The first two guys were amazed. “What happened then?” they asked. “She said, ‘get out from under that bed and fight like a man’.”

  1. Now you are making me really jealous. Today on Easter Sunday, we barely had 38F here. It was cold and unpleasant and we are still far from being able to do any spring cleaning around here. I even saw a few flurries!

  4. AL, I just happened to be looking at those settings in Live Writer a few weeks ago and that one just stuck in the ole memory for some odd reason...now I know why it stuck. :)

  5. That is a lot of water! Quite the contrast in country homes - I'll take the first one for sure. It's a good kind of exhaustion when it comes from a day of labor in your own yard.
