AND THAT WRAPS UP ANOTHER DAY IN EARLY APRIL OF 2021

 COULD THIS MAYBE BE AN UPSIDE DOWN HORSE??

It was a steady rain upon us by noon so any thoughts of outside activities for the afternoon were promptly squelched.  Luckily, Pheebs and I had motored ourselves over to the Hullett-Marsh earlier and ventured off on a short walk in a bit of a slow and infrequent drizzle.  We didn't really get wet, we just kinda felt like we did.  Took a few pics at the Marsh and a few more on the way home.  And that wraps up another early April day in the year 2021.

 THE ONLY HINT OF SUNSHINE TODAY WAS IN MY FIRST 'TEST SHOT' THIS MORNING

 THERE ARE MANY WATERWAYS IN THE MAN-MADE HULLETT-MARSH

 A NUMBER OF PONDS ARE CONTAINED BY EARTHEN BERMS AND THE WATER IS CONTROLLED BY GATES LIKE THIS ONE BETWEEN PONDS AND STREAMS

 DOUBLE CULVERTS ALLOW FOR SPRING FLOODING

 THE HULLETT MARSH IS CALLED A MARSH FOR GOOD REASON

 THERE IS AN ABUNDANCE OF WATERFOWL IN THE MARSH

 DEPENDING ON WATER MANAGEMENT THESE PONDS ARE SOMETIMES FULL OF WATER AND AT OTHER TIMES NEARLY DRY

 I ALWAYS BRING A HOT CUP OF COFFEE TO THE MARSH WITH ME

 THE RED BARN IN THE BACKGROUND IS THE ONE THAT SHOWS UP IN OUR CHRISTMAS CARD THESE PAST FEW YEARS

 IT IS ALSO THE FARM OF THESE CUTE SMALL STATURE HORSES

 HAVING A GOOD OLD ROLL IN THE DIRT

 EVEN CUTE LITTLE HORSES NEED AN AFTERNOON SIESTA

GROANER'S CORNER:((   A milkman who is dying in the hospital is surrounded his two sons, daughter, and his wife and nurse.  He says to his eldest son: "To you, Peter, I leave the Beverly terrace."  "To you, my dear daughter, I leave the apartments in the High street Plaza."  "To you, Charlie, being my youngest son with a large future, I leave the City Centre offices."  "And you, my dear wife, the three residential buildings towers in down town."  The nurse, impressed, tells his wife: "Madam, your husband is very rich. He is bequeathing many properties! You all are so lucky!!"  And the wife retorts: "Rich? Lucky?? Are you kidding??!! Those are his routes where he delivers milk!"
