HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Today is the birthday of SWMBO (She Who Must Be Obeyed), also known as Judy, your scribe's wife.

So I have dedicated today's post especially to her.

But seriously, I have loved this woman for many years and I love her still.

Is there any question why?

Happy, happy birthday, my dear Judy Girl.

MONDAY MADNESS

Hi, folks!

Howya doin'?

Today's post is a little different.

We're actually going to post something to make you more intelligent.

Ready?

Here goes.

Now I know you appreciated that brief geography lesson.

Your task for the rest of the day is to learn a foreign language

It's not as hard as you might think.

There you go, Gentle Readers.

May the rest of your day go easy for you.

A MUSICAL INTERLUDE

The BRD just sent me that and I decided to share it with you Gentle Readers.

On another matter, Happy Mother's Day to all the ladies out there.

Fellows, make sure she has a day of ease with a great meal capping it off.

POLITOONS

THE FRIDAY FUNNIES

Here in my little corner of the world, it's FRIED-DAY as the temperature soars into the upper 80's.

Record high temperatures have been sizzling the beginning of May.

But if you're living in the Northeastern U.S.A. get ready for the direct opposite this weekend as that crazy Old Man Winter pays a late visit.

But y'know what?

Since a large part of the country is quarantined in their homes it won't make any difference.

So let's get on with the real business of the day: The FUNNIES!

(heh-heh-heh)

Okay, I see you rolling around on the floor, eyes streaming tears of laughter, holding your sides, screaming "Enough, Enough!"

I hope this extra-large edition of hilarity has left you feeling a bit better about yourselves.

Enough so that you can sit up straight, maybe even get out of your pajamas, and have yourselves a great weekend.

Always remember, no matter how dark it gets, you gotta keep laughing!

Here, kitty-kitty . . .

(yeah, I know, I know)

GROWTH

Wait a minute, are you giving me the finger?

Naaah, Mother Nature would never do that.

It's just the Spring growing season.

One of the big trees in front of our apartment is full of these things.

I guess in time they will become pine cones.

Lots of them.

DANDY PESTS

Behold, the mighty dandelion!

They do look harmless with their puffy dying blossoms, in my neighbor's yard.

But not in this quantity, I suspect.

SWMBO has a quiet rage going on about them as the neighbors seem not to notice them.

I don't know how they could miss them as they are filling the yard.

Oh, I suppose one of these days they will take note and try to do something about them.

I'm not one for complaining as long as they stay out of our yard.
