THIS IS REAL AND NOTHING TO BE SCOFFED AT!!

WE HAVE BUNNIES IN OUR FRONT YARD

With no wind this morning our 32F temperature was fine for a few outside activities.  Busy with my pitchfork loading the utility trailer with a mixture of wet leaves and pine needles I didn't notice the cold too much.  One load to the dump and that cleaned up a big backlog of yard waste that I had piled up from last Fall.  Pheebs and I did get out for a Jeep ride around Bayfield and out into the countryside south of there earlier.  With overcast skies it wasn't a very inspiring day.

AMAZINGLY ENOUGH THESE FISHERMAN MUST HAVE FOUND SOME OPEN WATER AROUND BAYFIELD'S SOUTH PIER

WITH THE RIVER CLEAR OF ICE BAYFIELD'S FISHING FLEET HAS RETURNED

THESE ARE HARDY FISHERMEN ON A COLD SATURDAY MORNING.....SAY, I WONDER IF THAT GUY CROUCHING DOWN IS A PLUMBER

BAYFIELD'S TEMPORARY BAILEY BRIDGE HAS CROSSED THE RIVER TO THE NEW CEMENT ABUTMENT ON THE OTHER SIDE

Try as hard as I did I just could not get used to it.  Tried different flavors, even added my own such as cinnamon and pumpkin spice. etc.  No matter how I tried to disguise the taste, tea is just tea and it's gonna taste like tea no matter what.  And it's the tea taste I simply don't care for.  Readers offered suggestions some of which I tried but to no avail.  Bottom line I guess is that I am just not a tea drinker, never have been, and not likely I ever will be.

'OH GO AHEAD THE WATER'S FINE'

'YOU CAN DO IT'

'AHHHHHH, TOLD YA':))

And how am I making out since I quit adding honey to my peanut butter flat bread sandwiches every day about a month ago??  Well, pretty good actually.  I still eat lots of peanut butter but instead of adding honey I add slices of banana and that works just fine.  And I've successfully traded in my diluted Cranberry juice for sugar free orange juice.  I'm still muffin free as well and haven't so much as even ate a doughnut crumb.  No occasional ice cream, pie, cake, tarts, or cookies either.  So you would figure I'd be down about twenty five pounds by now but nope, only down two.

I DON'T KNOW WHO FARMER KOOS IS BUT HE OR SHE MUST HAVE JUST TURNED 50

St. Marys Ontario is 65 miles from Bayfield.  On March 12th a 64 year old man recently returned from Mexico tested positive for the Coronavirus.  While at emergency in St. Marys Hospital his condition suddenly worsened and he was taken to the Stratford General Hospital where he now remains in serious condition.  It's getting closer.  This is real and nothing to be scoffed at!!!!

GROANER'S CORNER:((  The Policeman recently stopped a woman for exceeding the posted speed limit. He asked the driver her name.She said, "I'm Mrs. Ladislav Abdulkhashim Zybkcicraznovskaya from the Republic of Uzbekistan visiting my daughter in Tallahassee."The cop put away his summons book and pen, and said, "Well... OK... but don't let me catch you speeding again."
