HAD TO GET MYSELF FEELING REASONABLY HUMANISH AGAIN

 SEEN IN A FARMYARD

It was a rare occurrence but I think the great weather Gods looked down and decided to give me a short break by dropping this morning's temperature by about 10 degrees.  All the words meaning the same as marvelous came to mind as Pheebs and merrily skipped our way along on our walk.

MAY IS DEFINITELY BLOSSOM MONTH

 MANY SHADES OF GREEN

 SUNDAY MORNING FARMERS WERE BUSY PLANTING

Needing to renew one of my prescriptions we headed off to Goderich.  Half a tank of gas cost $85 this morning and of course, McDonalds has added ten cents for a Seniors coffee bringing that small cup up to $1:35.  Down to the harbor we went where two ships were in port with one loading salt and the other grain.  With tourist season now upon us along the shores of Lake Huron, there were a lot more people and vehicles around.  It's easy to spot the city folks because they are the ones always in a frenzied hurry flurry.  It's too bad they bring their big-city morning rush hour traffic habits with them.  Tailgating horn blowers I calls em!!  

 THE OCEAN-GOING BARBRO-G IS REGISTERED OUT OF PORTUGAL

 THERE ARE THE BRIDGES OF TWO SHIPS VISIBLE HERE

THE ALGOMA INNOVATOR AT THE SALT MINE DOCK

 THIS IS ONE VERY BIG SHIP

 MAYBE PUMPING OUT SOME BILGE WATER

 GODERICH'S PAID PARKING IS IN PLAY FOR THE SEASON AND IT LOOKS LIKE SOME TICKETS ARE ALREADY BEING WRITTEN

 THE TWO PEOPLE ON THE RIGHT ARE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE IRON  PARKING RANGER

 IT WAS A NICE DAY FOR FOLKS TO TAKE A DRIVE TO THE BEACH

Home again and while temperatures were still civilized, it was time to take Scooter for a run.  But, there was a problem.  Scoot's battery was stone dead so I had to haul out the cables and jump-start it with the Jeep.  Took the rig for a spin over to Holmesville and back which is a 22-mile round trip.  The rig ran perfectly, but upon arriving home, when I tried to start it, the battery was dead again.  Looks like one new battery coming up.  Temperatures were still reasonable so I felt energized enough to give Scooter a complete wash job.  By the time I finished nearly an hour later the temps and humidity had risen and turned me into a sticky ball of paste.  I had to head straight away inside to the shower and get myself feeling reasonably humanish again.  As I post this tonight, it is raining.  Yay team, that will cool things down and I already can hear all the plants outside giggling:))     

IMAGINE MY SURPRISE WHEN I CAME UPON THIS GROUP OF LASSES...AND NO, THAT IS NOT THE FLYING NUN ON THE RIGHT....AND YES, THAT IS A SMARTPHONE YOU SEE

 I THINK THAT GAL ON THE RIGHT MUST BE THE DARING BLACK SHEEP OF THE BUNCH

IT WASN'T UNTIL I EDITED THE PHOTOS THAT I NOTICED THE SMARTPHONE AND I HOPE THOSE GIRLS DON'T FORGET ABOUT THEIR FRIEND AND JUST LEAVE HER HANGING

Ellen's Groove:: Ellen and her dad Hovak are at it again with another short guitar duet:))  Hovak by the way is from Armenia.

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A husband is advised by a psychiatrist to assert himself. "You don't have to let your wife henpeck you! Go home and show her you are the boss!"  Of course, the husband takes the doctor's advice. He rushes home, slams the door, shakes his fist in his wife's face, and growls, "From now on, you're taking orders from me! I want my supper right now and when you get it on the table, go upstairs and lay out my best clothes. Tonight, I'm going out with the boys and you are going to stay at home where you belong! And another thing... guess who's going to comb my hair, give me a shave, and tie my necktie?"  His redheaded wife says calmly, "The undertaker."
