'WHAT THE HECK' NO MORE FREE CORN COBS......THE FIELD JUST GOT HARVESTED

AREA TURKEY VULTURES ARE BACK FOR ANOTHER SEASON
Very few vehicles out and about this morning and even fewer humans around but did notice the busiest place in Bayfield appeared to be the Foodland Supermarket.  Beautiful blue skies overhead but still bitterly cold with winds from the northeast again.  
BAYFIELD'S LAKE ICE HAS ALL BUT DISAPPEARED AGAIN
HOWEVER THAT NORTH PIER SNOW MONSTER JUST KEEPS GETTING BIGGER
WELL THAT JEEP SURE IS ORANGE ALRIGHT AND I LIKE THE COLORFUL SUMMERY BANNER BELOW
Imagine my surprise this morning when I decided  to pick up a few more corn cobs at a nearby unharvested corn field when I found the whole field had just been harvested.  'What"!!  Well, I guess I learned something about farming that I didn't know before.  Autumns corn can be harvested in the Spring.  I thought for sure the corn crop was lost and would be plowed under but must admit I did wonder at the good condition of the dozen or so cobs I had previously picked.  'Oh Dear' I thought, now I will be looked upon as a lowly corn cob thief:((  Shades of Lemongate I'd say.  Older readers might get that one...…..
'WHAT THE HECK'.....WHERE DID ALL THE CORN COBS GO??
PATCHES OF SNOW CAN STILL BE FOUND ALONG AREA ROAD DITCHES
HOPE THERE ISN'T A SASKWATCH LIVING IN THERE

THE HIGHLAND CATTLE FURRY FACE GANG WAS OUT AGAIN TODAY
Home from our morning Jeep ride I soon slipped out the door to work away on some outside projects but was driven back inside by the cold.  I don't function well in very hot or very cold temperatures anymore.  Ya I know, I am such a Pansy.
HEY THAT'S LITTLE CHIPPY THE CHIPMUNK OUT THERE NEAR OUR FRONT DECK GNAWING ON A CORN COB

Keeping an eye on the thermometer I noticed by 2 o'clock we had edged up to 36F so Pheebs and I hit the forest trail.  Sun felt warm and the wind driven air felt cold.  Monday's forecast is for snow overnight.  Nice to see ducks and geese on the Park's pond.  Heard a Killdeer this morning and noticed Turkey Vultures back for another season.

GROANER'S CORNER:((  A friend and I were standing in line at a fast-food restaurant, waiting to place our order.  There was a big sign posted. "No bills larger than $20 will be accepted." The woman in front of us, pointing to the sign, remarked, "Believe me, if I HAD a bill larger than $20, I wouldn't be eating here."

Husband: “Call 911 quick, I think I’m having a heart attack!“  The wife picked up his cell phone to call. She said, “Give me your password!” Husband: "Never mind, I’m feeling much better now."

    1. P.S. Well, it was citrus and maybe specifically not lemons.

  4. Those Turkey Viltures are getting to be a reliable sign of spring, just like Robins.
