WITH WELL OVER 150 YEARS BETWEEN US 2 GUYS WE DIDN'T LET A LITTLE RAIN SLOW US DOWN TODAY

OUR FLOWER BED TRILLIUMS ARE FINALLY IN BLOOM

It's a wonder it wasn't snow falling out of the sky this morning instead of rain.  Cold, cold, cold!!!!  With the Jeep's heater cranked up the Spoogers and me took a short drive into Bayfield, had us a look around and came home again.  I'm thinking this  has got to be the coldest wettest !!#*@!!! Spring on record:((

MORE LARGE BOULDERS BEING DELIVERED TO BAYFIELD'S BEACH

BOATS ARE BEING PUT BACK INTO THE BAYFIELD RIVER NOW ON A DAILY BASIS

Good friends Richard and Gayle have rented a nice little place in the country near Bayfield and this morning had us over for coffee and a look at their new digs.  Great spot, love it.  Told them if they ever leave to let us know and we'll sell our place and move over there:))

I'M GUESSING THIS BIRD TO BE A FEMALE ROSE BREASTED GROSBEAK

Later in the afternoon I was able to help Richard move a few things from their storage locker in Goderich.  We didn't let a little rain discourage a couple Seniors with well over a hundred and fifty years between them.  And nobody even got hurt either.  No suffering sacroiliacs, no disjointed shoulders or dislocated hips.  Knee joints are still in place and ribs remained attached.  No skull fractures, broken toes or crushed feet and fingers.  No broken arms, spinal separations or herniated discs.  Even our shins remained unbruised and nobody got dumped on their ass to roundly complain about a shattered tail bone.  Only slight damage was to our egos knowing we weren't the once mighty coordinated heavy lifters we used to be many, many, Moons ago.  

THINGS ARE BLOOMING IN OUR FRONT YARD WITH THIS BEING A RHODODENDRON

WHITE MAGNOLIA

FORSYTHIA

RED HOT CHILI PEPPER TREE...….'YA RIGHT AL'

My battle with the little Red Squirrel continues and it's now a daily occurrence between me and Little Red.  Back and forth we go with me coming up with new defensive measures and little Red coming up with ways to breach my defences.  Sprayed the metal stove pipe on the post with a slippery lubricant but Red just straps on his magnetic boots and up he goes.  Tried some slippery plastic siding but with his Reebok suction racers the siding is not a deterrence.  Like Spiderman he has some kinda device he uses for shooting out long sinewy lines to hook onto the feeder to pull himself up onto the platform.  I've tried various stacks of lumber, overturned flower pots, garbage can lids, etc, to no avail.  My latest defence system soon to be compromised is a vinyl tarpaulin draped over the platform base.  Although I spotted him in the yard this afternoon I have not seen him on the newly defended feeder yet.  I expect him up there at any minute though.  I am already working on my next defensive move.....and the one after that and the one after that!!

EVEN SOME LAST YEAR BLOOMS ARE STILL HANGING ON
