MOSTLY DANG WELL

 KELLY PICKED UP A COUPLE MORE POTS OF HANGING PETUNIA FLOWERS 

Rain came in the night and nicely washed all the yellow pine tree pollen off everything leaving us once again with vibrant Spring colors here in our Park.  Thank you Mr. Rain.  However, the ensuing cloud cover stayed with us for the rest of the day, and by the looks of our weather report, we might be in for a rainy week.

 AND YES, THIS FROG WAS EVERY BIT AS GREEN AS THE PHOTO SHOWS

It was not far Pheebs and I ventured on this slightly drizzly morning.  I knew the country roads would be muddy and had just hosed off the Jeep late Saturday morning so I didn't see any sense in muddying up the Jeep all over again.  A drive into Bayfield and a solemn walk in the Bayfield Cemetery turned out to be our only exercise for the day.  

 THERE IS STILL PLENTY OF ROOM FOR MORE BOATS

 THIS CHAP HASN'T GOT HIS MAST UP YET

 THIS LOVELY SHAPED TREE WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE COLORFUL HAD THE SUN BEEN ON IT THIS MORNING

 COLOR CAN ALWAYS BE FOUND IN A CEMETERY EVEN ON A DULL AND DREARY DAY

Home again I spent the afternoon in my sunroom recliner reading.  I finished the second book in the Emily Of New Moon trilogy and am well on my way into the third and final book.  I love the pictures in my mind that the words of author Lucy Maude Montgomery paint for me.  

I have the free version of a program called Grammerly which is helpful to me by correcting spelling mistakes and punctuation.  I've had this program now for about four years.  It keeps trying to get me to upgrade to it's $Premium$ version whereupon it would correct all my writing errors and suggest corrections to my sentence structures, etc.  In other words, it would strive to make me sound like a perfect magazine-type writer with absolutely no writing errors.  I do not want my posts to sound grammatically perfect.  I want my posts to sound like me because if my posts don't sound like me, they would sound like a professional writer's writing.  And I am not a professional writer!!  I enjoy bending my words, phrases, and thoughts, away from the ordinary norm.  And that is what very much mostly dang well makes me, ME.  And, I like when that happens:))

 KELLY'S PETUNIAS

It will be only Subie and I rolling out in the morning heading for Sarnia Ontario's Bluewater Hospital.  I have my fingers crossed that this will be the 'last' X-ray on my right hip replacement.  I thought the last X-ray was supposed to be the last one!!  I haven't had any pain or soreness in my hip area since about three weeks after the surgery.  I'm hoping he won't say, after looking at the X-ray, 'Oh nuts, I've put it in backwards and it needs to come out and be turned around'!!

Al's Music Box:)) I Can't Tell You Why is a song by the American rock band Eagles that appeared on their 1979 album 'The Long Run'.  It was written by band members Timothy B. Schmit, Glenn Frey, and Don Henley. Recorded in March 1978, it was the first song finished for the album and the first Eagles song to feature Schmit on lead vocals.  It was released as a single in February 1980. Timothy B. Schmit provided the song title and composed the nucleus of "I Can't Tell You Why," which he then presented to Glenn Frey and Don Henley and they completed the song together. Henley described the finished song as "straight Al Green" and said that Frey, an R&B fan from Detroit, was responsible for the R&B feel of the song.  Frey said to Schmit: "You could sing like Smokey Robinson. Let's not do a Richie Furay, Poco-sounding song. Let's do an R&B song."  Schmit describes the song as "loosely based on my own experiences." Schmit said: "I had some writing sessions with Don and Glenn and I threw out a bunch of my ideas and that one "I Can't Tell You Why" stuck. I had composed a pretty good part of it, not a huge part but enough for them to think 'That could be good' and go with it. So Don, Glenn, and I finished it over a few all-night sessions."  He also said, "When it was being developed in the studio...I knew it was a great song. I [thought] 'Yes! This is an amazing debut for me.' When we finally mixed it, we had a little listening party at the studio. As people were hearing it, Don turned to me and said, 'There's your first hit."  Schmit sang the lead vocals, with Frey and Henley singing counterpoint. Schmit also played the bass on the track, which has a distinctive riff believed by Schmit to have been devised by Frey.  According to Henley, Frey wrote the counterpoint part.  In 1980, the band promoted the song with a music video featuring Schmit on bass guitar accompanied by Frey on the electric piano, although Frey recorded the guitar solos on the recording, with Henley on drums, Don Felder on electric guitar, Joe Walsh on organ and Walsh's touring sideman Joe Vitale on ARP string synthesizer. Live versions of the song were released on the 1980 album Eagles Live and 1994's Hell Freezes Over.  Schmit also performed "I Can't Tell You Why" while on tour as a member of Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band in 1992. 

GROANER'S CORNER:(( A Swiss man, looking for directions, pulls up at a bus stop where two Americans are waiting.  “Entschuldigung, koennen Sie Deutsch sprechen?” he asks. The two Americans just stare at him.  “Excusez-moi, parlez vous Francais?” he tries. The two continue to stare.  “Parlare Italiano?” No response.  “Hablan ustedes Espanol?” Still nothing.  The Swiss guy drives off, extremely disgusted. The first American turns to the second and says, “Y'know, maybe we should learn a foreign language.”  “Why?” says the other. “That guy knew four languages, and it didn't do him any good.”
