COBWEBS BEGINNING TO FORM ON ME

HEADING EAST OUT OF OUR PARK THIS MORNING

With clear overnight skies, our temps dropped below 40F and with a stiff wind out of the north blowing those chilly temps around, it was a cold morning's drive under sunny skies with Pheebs window down.  Needless to say, we didn't go far but at least the countryside with its growing Autumn colors looked beautiful.  For whatever reason, I could not get myself into gear today so I spent the majority of my time in my sunroom recliner beside our toasty warm little gas stove, reading.  And, I felt quite alright with doing that.  

 OUR MORNING WALKING SPOT IS BEYOND THAT LINE OF TREES BUT I'M KEEPING AN EYE ON THIS CORNFIELD IN HOPES OF SOME CORN SPILLS WHEN IT'S HARVESTED

 HEADING ALONG THE PATH ACROSS FROM OUR HOUSE ON THE WAY TO THE PARK'S POND THIS AFTERNOON

 LOOKS LIKE AN UPSIDE DOWN RED CANOE IN THERE

Later, when I saw a couple cobwebs beginning to form on me I figured Pheebs and I had better get ourselves moving and head out for a late afternoon walk.  So, that's what we did.

 HERE'S A BUNNY IN OUR FRONT YARD CHOWING DOWN ON A HOSTA LEAF

WHEN A SMALL FLOCK OF LITTLE GRAY BIRDS FLUTTERED INTO OUR YARD THIS AFTERNOON I KNEW OUR WINTER JUNCOS WERE BACK 

Al's Music Box:(( (This one is for you Norm way down there in that Florida place) The Ballad Of Palladin is a song written by Johnny Western, Richard Boone, and Sam Rolfe and performed by Duane Eddy. The song reached No. 33 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1962.   Members of the  Western Writers of America chose it as one of the Top 100 Western songs of all time.  Eddy's flip side was the theme to The Wild Westerners.  The song was produced by Lee Hazelwood and arranged by Bob Thompson.  Drummer Earl Palmer played on the session.  Duane Eddy was good friends with the show's star Richard Boone and appeared with him in a couple of the episodes. He also appeared with him in the 1962 motion picture The Wild Westerners. 

 LATE AFTERNOON POND REFLECTIONS

GROANER'S CORNER:(( If men ran the world...

- Telephones would cut off after 30 seconds of conversation.
- Breaking up would be a lot easier. A smack on the butt and a 'Nice hustle, you'll get 'em next time' would pretty much do it.
- Valentine's Day would be moved to February 29th so it would only occur in leap years.
- St. Patrick's Day would be celebrated every month.
- Garbage would take itself out.
- The only show opposite 'Monday Night Football' would be 'Monday Night Football from a Different Camera Angle.'

- It would be perfectly legal to steal a sports car, as long as you returned it the following day with a full tank of gas.
- When your girlfriend really needed to talk to you during the game, she'd appear in a little box in the corner of the screen during a time-out.
- Nodding and looking at your watch would be deemed as an acceptable response to 'I love you.'
- The funniest guy in the office would get to be CEO.

- Hallmark would make 'Sorry, what was your name again?' cards.
