PHEEBS AND I HAD US A DESTINATION....BUT IT WAS A BUST

IT IS QUITE A LITTLE CIRCUS WE HAVE GOING ON IN OUR FRONT YARD THESE DAYS
Had seen on-line Tuesday night what I thought was a 2000 27' Class C RV for sale near Seaforth so this morning Pheebs and I had us a destination.  Turns out I was wrong about what I thought.  It was a 1989 and more like 30 plus feet long so it was another bust.  Oh well, gave us guys something to do and somewhere different to go today.  And of course, it was a slight bit of momentary excitement which at this age is always very much most welcome and sought after.
TOO BIG AND TOO OLD
THIS LLAMA STRIKES A STATELY STANCE
Nice sunny day and good for working outside so I slipped over to neighbor Monicas earlier today and raked up some pine needles and leaves along the north and west sides of her place.  It also gave me an excuse to get our newer battery-powered lawn mower out of winter hibernation.  I love that thing.  No smelly gas, no noisy motor, and no arm numbing rope to pull.  Just switch it on and away it goes, chop chop chop:))
UP CLOSE WITH AN AGING DAFFODIL
OUR PARK'S PAIR OF MALLARD DUCKS ARE STILL ON THE POND
We have a few days of nasty weather heading our way with predictions of snow and possibly record-breaking cold temperatures for this time of year.  Friday and Saturday they say.  Guess I'll be back into my winter gear again:((

Usually in the month of May Kelly heads off to Spencerport New York to visit her Mother for a week or two but it's not looking like that is going to happen this year due to border restrictions resulting from Covid-19.  
DESPITE OUR COLD SPRING..... LEAVES, BUDS, AND FLOWERS ARE TRYING THEIR BEST TO OPEN
GROANER'S CORNER:((  A couple go for a meal at a Chinese restaurant and order Chicken Surprise. The waiter brings the meal, served in a lidded cast iron pot. Just as the wife is about to serve herself, the lid of the pot rises slightly and she briefly sees two beady little eyes looking around before the lid slams back down. "Good grief, did you see that?" she asks her husband.  He hasn't, so she asks him to look in the pot. He reaches for it and again the lid rises, and he sees two little eyes looking around before it slams down. Rather perturbed, he calls the waiter over, explains what is happening, and demands an explanation. "Please sir," says the waiter, "what you order?" The husband replies, "Chicken Surprise." "Ahh so sorry," says the waiter, "I bring you Peeking Duck."-----------------------------------------------

  1. I’m considering getting into electric (battery operated) garden tools. Is your mower cordless or is it corded? What brand is it? Thanks.

    1. Yes it's cordless Bob. Two batteries. This 40V mower by Worx works fine for our small grassed areas but wouldn't recommend it for a large heavily grassed lawn. Might want to move up to a more powerful battery operated mower for that.

  2. I saw a suggestion of rubbing WD-40 on tops of birdfeeders for squirrel problems, thought I'd pass it on.

  3. I enjoyed the 'chucklers' at the end, they did their job, I definitely chuckled.
    You folks are farther along with spring than we are here just up the peninsula and over the bay, we have no leaves out yet and we aren't as green as you folks. We are however going to get the cold you mentioned, in fact I"m looking for a fur coat for the Igloo.
