THIS POST IS FOR THE ‘BIRDS’

FEMALE ROSE BREASTED GROSBEAK

Cold rains ended in the night leaving us with cool overcast skies.  But no matter Pheebs and I were out the door anyway.  We didn't get ourselves a big hike in but we did manage a shorter speed wobble walk east of Goderich.  Temperatures came up and skies began to clear by early afternoon and that was enough for me to haul out the hose and a bucket of soapy water to wash the Jeep.  Vacuumed and cleaned up the interior as well.  It was a job well overdue.  Pheebs and I will likely be out cruising some country roads Sunday morning getting it dirty all over again but that's Okay, it's all about where one places their priorities and so far our mobile morning outings are still a big number one priority for us guys.

How nice to have a pair of Cardinals, two pairs of Indigo Buntings, 3 pairs of Rose Breasted Grosbeaks, a pair of Mourning Doves, several pairs of Blue Jays and Black Cap Chicadees in our front yard these days.  The Rose Breasted Grosbeaks really like the ‘Peanut’ suet.  We sometimes have 4 different types of birds on our feeder station all at the same time.

GROANER’S CORNER:))  An old Indian lined up all of his 10 little Indian sons and stood in front of them.  He then asked, "Who push port-a-potty over cliff?"  Nobody answered him.  He then asked again, "Who push port-a-potty over cliff?"
Again nobody answered.  The old Indian said, "I tell story of Georgie and Georgie father. Georgie chop down cherry tree. Georgie tell truth, Big Georgie no punish." So the Indian asked again,
"Who push port-a-potty over cliff?"  To which the littlest Indian replied, "I push port-a-potty over cliff."  The old Indian then shakes and spanks him, for his punishment. When he is done, the little Indian asks, "Georgie tell truth, Georgie no get punish. I tell truth, I get punished. Why you punish, father?"  The old Indian replied, "Big Georgie not in cherry tree when it got chopped down!!!"

Q: What do you call a dead atheist?

A: Someone all dressed up with nowhere to go!

A man went to the Police Station wishing to speak with the burglar who had broken into his house the night before.  "You'll get your chance in court." said the Desk Sergeant.  "No, no no!" said the man. "I want to know how he got into the house without waking my wife. I've been trying to do that for years!"
