Musings For Monday. #7
Good morning to everyone on this beautiful Monday! Well, it is not as cold this morning, so that alone makes it a beautiful day! Oh well, soon all this snow will give way to even more snow, which will be arriving tomorrow. So, because of that I am planning a walk to the river this afternoon. I have not been there since our last snowfall, mainly because it has been way too cold to even think about walking that far. Walking out to the feeders was definitely far enough in that cold.
Okay, so maybe I am a chicken when it comes to cold, I don’t mind admitting it. I was born in the summer, when it is warm, so its only natural for me not to like the cold weather. That probably does not make much sense, but this is Monday morning after all. And it is early, though not really that early, well, to be honest this is not early at all. Now if it was 4 am, then it would be early. But 5am is not early for me, that is actually kind of normal, at least for my summer schedule.
Yes, I know it is not quite summer yet, not even close, however, it is starting to get daylight rather early now, 6:45 actually is when I need to be out and fill up the feeders so they are ready for the birds. Oh, Muffin reminded me that there is some kind of important day today, now what was it again? Oh yeah, Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! Sorry, no hearts or chocolate to share with you today. Actually I did try to find a pink mouse for Muffin to give her today, but I could not find one.
She liked her last pink mouse until there was nothing left of it. She likes her blue mouse though. She also likes my blue mouse, which she keeps pushing off the table onto the floor. Amazing that thing still works. It does rattle a bit though. And it is a bit squeaky at times too. Good thing it does not have a tail on it or I would never see it again, Muffin would take it to her “cave”. I wonder how many “lost” toys are in there now? Well, guess I better go out and put seeds out there before the birds show up. Thank you for stopping by, have a wonderful day and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.

Grover’s Grins And Groans. #3
Hello and happy Monday to all of you! It is that time once again to get some grins and groans, and perhaps even a laugh or two for beginning your week. I hope you will enjoy today’s selections…
There’s an advantage to having a poor memory, there is less to forget!
I have a photographic memory, but sometimes I forget to take the lense cap off!
There is no point in worrying about forgetting things as you grow older, because you will soon forget what you forgot!
===================
A man mentioned to his landlord about the tenants in the apartment over his. “Most nights they stomp on the floor and shout until 2 am!” The landlord asked if it bothered him. “Not really,” he said, “I’m usually up until that time practicing my trumpet anyway.”
================
“Well, how do you like your new hearing aids?”, asked the man’s doctor. “I like them just fine,” he answered, “I’ve heard sounds in the last few weeks that I had forgotten even existed.” “Well, how does your family like your hearing aids?” “Oh, no one in my family knows I have them yet. Am I having a great time! I have changed my will 3 times in the last 2 months!”
===============
A friend asked what parenting toddlers is like. So, I hid her keys, headbutted her in the face, and then told her I love her more than the stars.
==============
A co-worker asked me, “Could you be any more annoying?” So, the next day I wore tap shoes to work.
===============
Well, have a great day everyone and God bless!
Steve, Muffin and Grover.
