THESE NOT KNOWING 'ONE DAY AT A TIME' DAYS ARE TAKING THEIR TOLL

Pheebs and I were out the door earlier this morning and headed for our country road walking spot.  However, there was a farm vehicle parked in the only pull-over spot so we had to roll on by.  Turned around and headed straight home because I wanted to take advantage of the cooler morning air to get the Subaru washed.  I did that and finished up the job shortly before the humidity made being outside uncomfortable.  Surprisingly, I did slip out later for 20 minutes to mow our backyard grass.  Silly me.  I had to slip back into the house and toss myself in the shower.

 I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A GRASS CROP FOR HAY WHICH WILL LIKELY BE CUT IN ANOTHER FEW WEEKS

I THINK THIS IS NEWLY PLANTED CORN AND IF SO, THE STOCKS ARE UP ABOUT 3 INCHES

 WE STILL HAVE DANDELIONS IN BLOOM

 A NEIGHBOR'S BIRD HOUSES

Thanks to Kelly's efforts in tracking down the 'Blogger' photo sizing problem in my blog, I've been able to enlarge the photos in Sunday's post in case anyone wants to go back and have a look at them.  She was also able to find a workaround for the font colors too.  Bottom Line.....if it wasn't for Kelly and her problem-solving acumen, patience, and determination, my blog would have ended in a matter of weeks after I first started it nearly 18 years ago.  She is the one who has kept my blogging head above water.

ON THIS NEIGHBORING FARM THERE SITS AN AUTHENTIC DUTCH WINDMILL

We are off to London's University Hospital in the morning for Kelly's first meeting with the coordinator of a Liver Transplant Study Group that she has volunteered to be a part of.  We are going early because Kelly's liaison lady said she needs to undergo more blood tests due to her anemic condition this past week.  How the rest of the day goes from there will be determined by those tests and what the liver doctor has to say.  Kelly is taking an overnight bag with her in case push comes to shove.  Pheebs and I will drop her off at the hospital's main door and then await her phone call.  It might turn into a long day or it might not.  These not knowing 'one day at a time' days are taking their toll...............

 A FEW REFLECTIONS IN A LAKE ABOUT A MILE EAST OF OUR PARK

Al's Music Box:)) Tumbling Tumbleweeds by Ken Curtis...Many readers will remember a favorite old TV western called, Gunsmoke.  One of the characters on the show was Festus.  Few, if any at the time thought of Festus (Ken Curtis) as a talented singer.  Well, he was and he once sang with The Sons Of The Pioneers.  His version of Tumbling Tumbleweeds is as good as any who have ever sung it.    

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A middle aged woman decides to learn and try horseback riding assisted without any experience or lessons.  She mounts the horse with great effort, and the tall, shiny horse springs into motion.  It gallops along at a steady and rhythmic pace, but the lady begins to slip from the saddle.  Out of sheer terror, she grabs for the horse's mane but cannot seem to get a firm grip.  She tries to throw her arms around the horse's neck but slides down the side of the horse anyway.  The horse gallops along, seemingly oblivious to its slipping rider.  Finally, giving up her frail grip, she leaps away from the horse to try and throw herself to safety.  Unfortunately, her foot has become entangled in the stirrup.  She is now at the mercy of the horse's pounding hooves as her head is struck against the ground again and again.  As her head is battered against the ground, she is moments away from unconsciousness or even death when Todd, the Walmart manager, runs out to turn the horse off.

A judge was punishing three men because they had committed a crime. Their sentence was a few years in the desert. He said that they could each take one thing with them.  The first guy decides to take an umbrella so that he can have shade whenever he wants.  The second guy decides to take a water bottle so that he won't get thirsty.  Finally, the third guy decides to take a car door.  The judge asked, "Why in the world would you want to take a car door?" The man replies, "Just in case it gets hot, I can roll down the window."
