A FARMER'S LANE LEADS TO HIS FIELDS |
Overnight winds brought in a slightly more Autumn-like cooler weather front. But not cool enough to have Pheebs passenger side window up. In fact, driving along slowly on the country roads we had the Moon roof open. A really nice 'feeling good' Saturday morning.

A RELAXING SATURDAY MORNING |
|
LEADING A HORSE BACK TO THE BARN |
A quiet afternoon with a little bit of puttering. I noticed two larger frogs in our recently refurbished pond and I have no doubt they are two of the gang I carried down to the Park's pond earlier in the week. Of those two I have already caught one and returned the little muggins back to the Park's pond again. And this time with a stern scolding too.

WE TOOK A DRIVE PAST A JUNKYARD |
With temperatures on the rise again and the air feeling sticky, Pheebs and I didn't venture out for an afternoon walk. Instead, I settled into my sunroom recliner with my fan blowing on me and opened my Kindle book. Dr. Mark Pickstik's book, 'Soul Proof' was getting a little too heavy for me so I decided to once again switch to something liter-fair and entertaining. I chose author Louisa May Alcott's 'Little Men'. I was looking for an author with a similar writing style to Lucy Maude Montgomery.

DUTCH FARMS IN THE AREA ARE GENERALLY VERY WELL-KEPT |

Al's Music Box:)) The Boy From New York City is a song originally recorded by the American soul group The Ad Libs, released in 1964 as their first single. The song was produced by Jerry Leiver and Mike Stollererry and peaked at No. 8 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart week of February 27, 1965. Though the group continued to record other singles, they never repeated the chart success of "The Boy from New York City". According to Artie Butler, the track was recorded at A&R Studios in New York, in three separate sessions. The first session was to lay down the rhythm section, then the next session was for the lead and backup vocals, with the last session being just for the horns.
GROANER'S CORNER:(( A Pastor goes to the dentist for a set of false teeth. The first Sunday after he gets his new teeth, he talks for only eight minutes. The second Sunday, he talks for only ten minutes. The following Sunday, he talks for 2 hours and 48 minutes. The congregation had to mob him to get him down from the pulpit and they asked him what happened. The Pastor explains the first Sunday his gums hurt so bad he couldn't talk for more than 8 minutes. The second Sunday his gums hurt too much to talk for more than 10 minutes. But, the third Sunday, he put his wife's teeth in by mistake and he couldn't shut up...-------------------------------------
- Why can't towels tell jokes? Because they have a dry sense of humor.
- I made a new 'to-do' list today but I can't remember who is to do it.
McNally was taking his first plane ride, flying over the Rocky Mountains. The stewardess handed him a piece of chewing gum. "It's to keep your ears from popping at high altitudes," she explains. When the plane landed McNally rushed up to her. "Miss," he said, "I'm meetin' me wife right away. How do I get the gum out of me ears?"
