IT'S STILL THERE!

It's been three weeks now since I noticed a blue plastic bag of some kind or another up in a neighbor's tree.

Over the days since then, I've kept a close eye on it.

And, Blue Bag fans everwhere, I can assure you that it is still there.

I took a photo from a different angle today and, being the excellent  and experienced photographer that I am, I naturally pointed the camera right into the sun.



Now if you have the eye of an eagle, as do I, you will spot the bag high up in the tree's branches.

But if you can't pick it out, I zoomed into it to give you a better viewing.




I can assure you that while it looks like a blue and white flag in this view, it is not.

It is a blue plastic bag reflecting some of the sun's glare.

So there you have it, sky watchers everywhere, the Blue Bag lives on.

Further updates will be forthcoming.

THE FRIDAY FUNNIES

I bet you're wondering "How long can he keep doing this?"

Here's the answer.

I don't know.

Some weeks it is more difficult to put a smile on my face.

But I have followers now who seem to depend on this silly ritual so, like Senator Cory Booker, I'll just keep on with this as long as I'm able.

For example . . .
























So my message again this week?

Be like Riker and get even!

But in the meantime, have yourselves a merry little weekend.

And always remember to keep laughing!

APRIL FOOL LATE?

This is what greeted my wondering eyes as I woke early this morning. 





Yes, folks, that's fog and a fresh dusting of snow from overnight here in Arizona.

Is this some kind of a joke?

If it is, I'm not laughing.  😡

But never fear.

A week from today The Weather Gods say the mercury will top out in the mid 80's!

I just can't keep up with all of this foolishness.

DIFFERENCES

 



I say toe-may-toe, you say toe-mah-toe.



Whatever you call them, they still make a great picture and a great burst of flavor in your mouth.

So let's not argue.

Let's eat!

THE FRIDAY FUNNIES

For those of you concerned about the Blue Bag . . it's still up there.

Two weeks and counting.

For those of you envying my delightful Spring weather, the mercury is heading back down to the upper 50's in the next week.

And rain is forecast.

But you know, like Bing Crosby sang . . . 

"Though April showers may come your way, 
they bring the flowers, that bloom in May".

So there's that.

Now I want to bring some joy into your life so here goes.






























So that's it for another week, my friends.

Now remember don't watch the t.v. news and keep your eyes off the bathroom scale to have yourselves a fulfilling weekend.

And ALWAYS remember to keep laughing!

Here, kitty-kitty . . .

( . . . oh, no, I knew somehow it was coming . . . )

THE BLUE BAG SAGA

Careful students of this educational blog, like Shirley of "Boots and Braids" . . .


. . might recall my random comment March 14th about a blue bag that had found itself stuck in the branches of a tall tree of one of my neighbors.

As proof I offered a photograph of said bag in said tree.



Based on a question from the investigator, Shirley, I checked and found it still up there.

Granted, it had been blown about in a gale force wind we experienced a few days ago but its hopes for escape were denied when it was snagged by some other branches of the same tree.

So here it is today, still secured in its lofty trap.



And just to prove my published pronouncement that it is indeed a blue bag, not a birthday balloon, here is a close-up.

I apologize in advance for the blurry nature of it.

It's not one of those questionable UFO pictures, it's just due to the technical insufficiencies of my smart(?)phone camera.



So that's the progress report as of today.

No progress.

I'll attempt to keep you posted.
