I saw this comic strip this morning and just knew that I had to use it in my blog today. Kathleen has often said that she has been glad over the years that I could eat just about anything. Here is the link: http://www.comcast.net/data/comics/pickles.gif
This morning during a time when it was not raining/hailing I decided to go out and scoop up the grass and dirt that was laying around from edging yesterday. It was nice and sunny out and I though it was going to be a nicer day than the weather forecast was predicting; after all they were wrong about yesterdays weather.
When I finished the front yard I thought that since I had my equipment out I might as well do the back yard. Well, from the time it took me from going from the front yard to the back yard the sky started leaking again, so I put my tools away and went inside.
The mail had come while I was working in the front yard so I opened, sorted, and went through my mail; most of it was catalogs so I made a cup of coffee and waded through them.
While I was sitting at the kitchen table, I noticed that our bird feeder was occupied with three birds and there were more waiting on the power line waiting their turn. There was also a humming bird sitting on the ling, but it was waiting to go back to the rhododendron.
There was also a blue jay that was chasing a couple starlings around. It was kind of comical watching all the different type of birds, it seemed like only the same species could feed at the feeder at the same time and they would not allow another specie to light.
Pretty soon I noticed the room was getting darker and before I knew it, it has started to hail; the ground was pretty white, not only from the hail but also from the blossoms that had fallen as well...almost like snow.
Well we have a meeting at church so I think that I am going to call it a day.
