SOMETIMES IT'S JUST FUN TO BE IMPATIENT

 THIS PHOTO SUMS UP OUR JEEP RIDE THIS MORNING

A foggy morning but that's okay because it means milder weather and any kind of milder weather at this time of year is good.  And with all the rain overnight and this morning making the snow disappear, it means Spring's flowers will be waking up soon.  Pheebs and I followed the Jeep's windshield wipers into Bayfield and back earlier today.  I saw my first Robin of the year and it was in our front yard.  We ended our day under partly sunny skies:))

 DESPITE A COLD POURING RAIN THESE BAYFIELD FISHERMEN WERE NOT DETERRED

BAYFIELD'S SOUTH PIER IS FINALLY FREE OF ICE AND SNOW

Despite knowing Mother Nature will take care of the ice in our driveway soon enough, and being the impatient person I am, I was nevertheless out in the driveway this afternoon with my trusty long pole ice chopper hammering away at that frozen water stuff.  Sometimes it's just fun to be impatient:))

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A well-worn one-dollar bill and a similarly distressed twenty-dollar bill arrived at a Federal Reserve Bank to be retired. As they moved along the conveyor belt to be burned, they struck up a conversation.  The twenty-dollar bill reminisced about its travels all over the country. "I've had a pretty good life," the twenty proclaimed. "Why I've been to Las Vegas and Atlantic City, the finest restaurants in New York, performances on Broadway, and even a cruise to the Caribbean.""Wow!" said the one-dollar bill. "You've really had an exciting life!"  "So tell me," says the twenty, "where have you been throughout your lifetime?"  The one-dollar bill replies, "Oh, I've been to the Methodist Church, the Baptist Church, the Lutheran Church ..."  The twenty dollar bill interrupts, "What's a church?"

Little Johnny watched, fascinated, as his mother smoothed cold cream on her face.  "Why do you do that, Mom?"  "To make myself beautiful," she answered. She then began to remove the cream with a tissue.  "What's the matter?" Johnny asked.... "Giving up?"
