Bluebird update

Bluebird season will be over (for me, not the bluebirds, lol) on the 8th. I've many pictures on my phone which I hope to be able to transfer to my PC via bluetooth - but I'll have to find my software which will allow me to do this. I have to reload it. I took a picture this morning of a nest with NINE eggs in it!!!

Hopefully an update will come soon.

Just had to post this one, very funny!

A Minneapolis couple decided to go to Florida to thaw out during a particularly icy winter. They planned to stay at the same hotel where they spent their honeymoon 20 years earlier.

Because of hectic schedules, it was difficult to coordinate their travel schedules. So the husband left Minnesota and flew to Florida on Thursday, with his wife flying down the following day.

The husband checked into the hotel. There was a computer in his room, so he decided to send an email to his wife. However, he accidentally left out one letter in her email address, and without realizing his error, sent the email.

Meanwhile, somewhere in Houston, a widow had just returned home from her husband's funeral. He was a minister who was called home to glory following a heart attack.

The widow decided to check her email expecting messages from relatives and friends. After reading the first message, she screamed and fainted.

The widow's son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor, and saw the computer screen, which read:


To: My Loving Wife
Subject: I've Arrived
Date: October 15, 2009

I know you're surprised to hear from me. They have computers here now and you are allowed to send emails to your loved ones. I've just arrived and have been checked in.

I've seen that everything has been prepared for your arrival tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing you then!!!! Hope your journey is as uneventful as mine was.

P. S. — Sure is freaking hot down here!!!!

a redneck what?

Hi all, first clutch of Bluebirds have slacked off so I now have a bit of time to post some humerus pictures.

This is a redneck mailbox. I happen to have two gallon jars and some purple duct tape and I'm sure I can find some spare wooden posts somewhere. I think I'll make me one of these.










Here we have a nice redneck sprinkler. I also think this would be great in any garden and am also thinking of making one.

Spring has sprung

I've managed to get a bit of outside work done these past few days. We are on spring break and I have a lot to do, but I just could not resist getting outside.

I've made four flower beds with one to finish up today if the rain slacks off a bit.

I kinda went crazy with the flower seeds. I planted them all. That would be hundreds and hundreds.....of packets. LOL! Ok, maybe just one or two hundred. But it was a lot! I still have some sunflower seeds I want to plant over there by the fence.

I also planted two blueberry bushes and two rosebushes. (Yellow and supposedly fragrant)

We shall see what pops up! I did have a reason why I planted so many. Many of the seeds were older, from a couple years ago, that I got for about 2 cents a pack on sale. So basically ALL the seeds cost about five bucks. I love after season sales.

I'm also trying my hand at some heirloom seeds. I've got about five different tomatoes poking their heads up.

Now to find some dryer drums to make my raised garden!

A few funnies sent by my mom

One day a 12-year-old boy was walking down the street when a car pulled up beside him and the driver lowered a window. “I’ll give you a large bag of M&Ms if you get in the care,” said the driver. “No way! Get lost!” replied the boy. “How about a bag of M&Ms and 10 dollars?” the driver asked. “I said no way,” replied the boy. “What about a bag of M&Ms and 50 dollars?” asked the driver. “No, I’m not getting in the car,” answered the boy. “Okay, I’ll give you a gab of M&Ms and 100 dollars,” the driver offered. “No!” replied the boy. “What will it take to get you in the car?” asked the driver. The boy replied, “Listen, Dad. You bought the Volvo - you live with it!”

The teacher asked one of her young students if he knew his numbers. “Yes,” he said. “I do. My father taught me.” “Good. What comes after three?” “Four,” answers the boy. “What comes after six?” “Seven.” “Very good,” says the teacher. “Your dad did a good job. What comes after ten?” “A jack,” says the little boy.

Arriving home from work at my usual hour of 5 p.m., I discovered that it had not been one of my wife’s better days. Nothing I said or did seemed to be right. By 7 p.m., things had not changed, so I suggested I go outside, pretend I had just gotten home, and start all over again. My wife agreed. I went outside, came back in and, with a big smile, announce, “Honey, I’m home!” “And just where have you been?” she replied sharply. “It’s after seven o’clock!”
