THE FRIDAY FUNNIES

Oh, this week has gone by so fast.

Actually they all seem to have sped up nowadays.

I wonder if that is old age talking.

Well, whatever it is I'm going to ignore it and get on with the funny flavors of this Friday.








See it's "the early bird gets . . . "

Oh, heck, I shouldn't have to explain these to you Gentle Readers.

But now jazzmen and jimply jezebels, it's time to gather your jujubes for a jaundiced Jello mold, join together in a joyful jumble and don't be jumbucks but jump up in your jammies and . . . have a wonderful weekend!

And always remember to keep laughing!

Here, kitty-kitty . . .

APRIL IS SUN CIRCLING MONTH

Today is a very special birthday for a very special girl - the BRD, for Beautiful Rich Daughter.

Judy's daughter, who has reached an indeterminate age.

This is how she looked back in the day when she visited us in Ajijic, Jalisco, Mexico, where we were living at the time.



I think you can see how I came up with the nickname for her.

I'm not sure this next picture was during the same trip.

Could have been earlier.

Could have been later.

But by the grins on the faces of her escorts, I think they would agree with that nickname, or at least part of it.


I'm not sure what the role of these Mexican "officers" was or if their guns were even loaded.

But they were kind to pose for this "wanted" poster.

Anyway, for Gayle, it's another circling of the sun today.

Happy birthday, dear heart.

BIOLOGY BLOG POST 101

Do you see those little seeds on the branches of the tree outside my window?


When I noticed them recently I said to SWMBO, "Ah the tree will be leafing out soon."

And a few days later I thought I had been proved correct.



She has since corrected me.

"Those are the flowers," she said, "and they will all fall off.  Then the leaves will come."

Gadfrey!  

Have they ever fallen off.



They nearly fill the bird bath every morning.


And they litter the outdoor carpeting and the doormat, waiting to be tracked into the house.

But soon, I am told by the Master Gardener, that blasted tree . . . whatever it is* . . . will be covered with nice green leaves.


*Maybe some of you other gardeners out there can tell us what kind of tree it is.

BURNED

Cancun is a nice vacation destination.

Except for those very sunny beach days for
fair-skinned tourists.

THE FRIDAY FUNNIES

Ahhhh, here we are at Friday again.

"Orange" you glad?

I was just thinking, someday I'll have to write a post about the "orange" of this blog.

But for now, let's get to the business at hand.










And as a closing thought today I thought I'd show that you that the BRD and her Beau Jack are reverse immigrants this week.






April is margarita time in Cancun.

All right, Gentle Readers, that's it for this Friday.

Now get out there and have a fabulous weekend and always remember to keep laughing.

Here, kitty-kitty . . .

THE BIRD TREE

There is a big dead tree right over our wall in a neighbor's yard.


Judy thinks it should be cut down because it towers over her bedroom and she's afraid one of our high winds will topple it onto her.

But the neighborhood birds love it.

For example . . .


 . . . these two doves and many more.


"Hey!  Are you talkin' about us?  Are you?  Huh?"
