HANGING OUT WITH A FEW OF MY PALS TODAY

 HANGING OUT WITH MY PALS:))

Not enough energy for a walk this morning but Pheebs and I did get in a short drive around a few country blocks.  She's not always too keen for a walk anymore and shorter Jeep rides seem increasingly favorable to her.  It has become sadly obvious to me that both Pheebs and I are slowly aging together. 

 A SATURDAY MORNING GATHERING OF FARM MACHINERY

 A RIPENING CORNFIELD UNDER MID-SUMMER'S SUN AND CLOUD 

It was cool enough to be outside doing some yard work but I spent a chunk of my time inside trying to recharge my batteries.  That of course required a few sessions of reading and snoozing.  I must have left something switched on in my head all night again and that wore down my internal batteries and left me drained this morning.  It's about as close to a logical explanation as I can come up with.  However, I did manage to rally this afternoon long enough to spend some fun (hey, there's a word I don't use much) time in our front yard hanging around with a few good buddies of mine.

 I RESCUED THIS LITTLE FELLOW FROM THE GROUND  ON THE MAIN STREET OF JULIAN CALIFORNIA ONE DAY HALF A DOZEN YEARS AGO

In Friday's post, I had a photo of a Wizard which I took beside our frog pond.  Carin in the Shoutbox wondered if we owned that figurine and how tall it was.  Made at Windstone Editions in North Hollywood California, I can't remember where or when we got it but Kelly tells me I had it when she met me 29 years ago.  It's quite heavy, seven inches tall, and I may add, very well made.

'EEEEEHHHHHH' DA GREEN FONZ'

 'HEY DOWN THERE PHEEBS'

'HEY UP THERE TWEETS'

So, what have I been listening to on my Sirius XM satellite radio these days while Pheebs and I cruise the country roads?  At the moment I'm mainly waffling back and forth between the '40's Junction' station and 'Sinatra'.  The Junction is mainly all music from the 1940s.  The Big Band music reminds me of my very early childhood and I like that.  Like the Sinatra channel with its tunes from the 40s and 50s, I find the music comforting.  However, I really wish Sirius would have a groovy selection of funky ambient music channels but they don't.  Just some creatively inventive heavy bass-oriented instrumentals please.....and no words!!
