Flowers Of The Day

Today was a scorcher. It got into the low 90s. Currently it is a cool 86 degrees. Haven't seen heat like this since last September. It is really early in the year for this type of heat. Tomorrow it is supposed to be almost 90 and on Tuesday 86 degrees. Then on Wed things will get closer to normal and much more comfortable...temps in the 70s. Veronica left today...flew to Detroit, MI for some training. She will be home really late on Thursday night. At least it will give her a break from my snoring, which has got really bad over the last year. When we get back from our cruise, I will have to go and find out what can be done to silence the foghorn. Below are some newly opened irises. Seems like each day I find something new that has bloomed.

Did Someone Say Deer

Here are a couple of photos that Ken Gauthier sent me. They are some deer that frequent his backyard. Ken told me that these deer have become family pets and that they have become fairly tame to Ken and his family. Thanks for sharing Ken.

Morris And Esther At The Fair

I received the following joke from my friend, Ken Gauthier, up in Ontario Canada. Thanks for sharing Ken and keep'm coming.

Morris and his wife Esther went to the state fair every year,

And every year Morris would say,'Esther, I'd like to ride in that helicopter.' Esther always replied, 'I know Morris, but that helicopter ride is fifty dollars, And fifty dollars is fifty dollars'

One year Esther and Morris went to the fair, and Morris said, 'Esther, I'm 85 years old. If I don't ride that helicopter, I might never get another chance.'

To this, Esther replied, 'Morris that helicopter ride is fifty dollars, and fifty dollars is fifty dollars.'

The pilot overheard the couple and said, 'Folks I'll make you a deal. I'll take the both of you for a ride. If you can stay quiet for the entire ride and don't say a word I won't charge you a penny! But if you say one word it's fifty dollars.' Morris and Esther agreed and up they went.

The pilot did all kinds of fancy maneuvers, but not a word was heard. He did his daredevil tricks over and over again, But still not a word.

When they landed, the pilot turned to Morris and said, 'By golly, I did everything I could to get you to yell out, but you didn't. I'm impressed!'

Morris replied, 'Well, to tell you the truth, I almost said something when Esther fell out....

But you know, fifty dollars is fifty dollars!'
