Home Musings





Hello my Sweet Darlings,

I hope you have been well and spring is on it's way there for you too. Do we see the same moon? I have a 1/4 moon here and the nightscapes look so beautiful with the snow and silver light. Too bad my digital camera can't take photo's at night. Well, maybe I will get one of those soon.

A few signs and newspaper articles have been posted around our district, Ice fishing Derbies. I love Walleye but don't think I'd make a great fishing partner since I would babble on and on about this, that and what not, totally distracted. Oh yes, and no idea how a ice auger works and slow to pull a rod out of the water. Some strange worries of falling in. You don't want to know how many people complained about me losing fish and teased about starving to death if fishing was the only food available.

A large gathering of wild birds can be found at my house these days. Wow! I'm quite pleased since I get to hear them in the mornings. My sons get annoyed with the noisy Blue Jays though when they're trying to watch T.V. They even ask if they can practice their shooting skills on the birds! all in fun but the thought, hmm.

A few wolves have been seen in our little community too. Somebody lost their dog when a pack went after the wolf pack. I just hope that children didn't see any evidence of the violence. I know, it's part of the animal world but that is one mess I wouldn't want any child to see.

Alright, I know you must run as duty calls. I will leave these for you and hope we part with you chuckling, for now, ---> Some Funnies

Why Men Have Better Friends

Women's Friends:

A woman didn't come home one night. The next day she told her husband that she had slept over at a friend's house. The husband called his wife's ten best friends. None of them had seen her or knew what he was talking about.

Men's Friends:

A man didn't come home one night. The next day he told his wife that he had slept over at a friend's house. The wife called her husband's 10 best friends. Eight of them confirmed that he had slept over, and two claimed that he was still there.

Sarcastic Dares

-- Call a political candidate's campaign office and ask them for a donation to your non-candidacAy.

-- Find someone who is big into worrying about the threat of global warming, remind them of their own carbon dioxide and body heat contribution to the planet, and ask them to stop it.

-- Send a bill to every TV station, radio station, cell phone company, and satellite company, charging them an "access fee" for the waves they broadcast through your property. If they refuse payment, charge them with trespassing.


I hope you have a good week. Please take care and stay safe.

Outdoors Calling





Hello my Dear Friends,

I hope you are well and in good spirits. I cannot believe how the weather turned around! it has snowed and iced over and snowing yet again. Mind you, I love the snow, strange as that sounds. I will be heading out soon to take photographs. Some landscape scenes are just too beautiful not to capture immediately. I will put on my MP3 player and walk around taking photo's of the snow laden trees. I'll also have to seriously bundle up since it's windy and quite chilly.

As mentioned before, I have birds now. I have chickadee's, Blue Jay's and Whiskey Jack birds fighting for ownership of the bird feeders. The milk jug feeder doesn't fit the larger Whiskey Jack birds though and is a rather funny sight seeing them 'moon' the world as they stick their heads inside to eat the seeds. I would have to sit outside for some time to try and capture that sort of picture.

I am proud of our respective nations and people gathering to provide aid to the Haitian people. Natural or unnatural disasters can be quite terrifying for anybody but to see the cry for help being answered, makes me proud to be part of the human race. Endurance of the human spirit to rise up and meet the occasion to do right for others, never ceases to amaze me. I have heard about Aid scams though looking to defraud people out of these aid monies. I hope they are caught and jailed, no free card for them.

I know you must hurry off as duty calls and I cannot keep you distracted. I will leave my usual findings and hopefully we part with you chuckling --> Jokes and Humor

- Six slippery snails, slid slowly seaward.
- I'm not a pheasant plucker,
I'm a pheasant plucker's son,
and I'm gonna keep on plucking,
till the pheasant plucking's done
- If two witches were watching two watches, which witch would watch which watch?
- What are the three words guaranteed to humiliate men everywhere? 'Hold my purse.'


I send my prayers out for you. Please take care and stay safe.
