Monday’s Musings #23.
Good Monday morning everyone! And how are all of you today? It’s going to be another beautiful day, at least it’s supposed to be anyway, so I hope they’re right. It’s a bit of a chilly start to the day, much like it was yesterday morning. But we have to expect that now. Still, the weather is very nice these days, and it’s supposed to be sunny and warm all week. Wow, our fall colors are falling fast this year. Usually the leaves turn yellow and stay that way for a week or so, but not this year. They are turning yellow, and other colors, then the leaves drop off the trees right away. Half the trees are bare already.
So I guess we won’t be getting a good show of colors this year either, that’s 2 years in a row. But that happens at times. Theodore came by yesterday and stayed for quite a while. Theodore is a wild turkey for those of you who haven’t met her yet. Yes, she is a female, but I’m not changing her name, she’s used to it now, so why confuse her by changing it? She and I sat and talked for a while. “How was your summer Theodore?” Gerbil, gerbil. “Oh, you had to go a long distance to find a mate? That’s too bad.”
Gerbil, gerbil. “You should have stayed here? Maybe some males will come here next year.” Gerbil, gerbil. “They think it’s too far to fly? But you turkeys fly fast.” Gerbil, gerbil. “Oh, you think it was just an excuse. Maybe they just don’t like it around here.” Gerbil, gerbil. “That’s true, it is nice here, and lots of free food all winter.” Gerbil, gerbil. “You told them that, but they still didn’t want to come, how strange. Anyway, I missed having you around, you’re welcome anytime.” Gerbil, gerbil. “You’re welcome.” Off she flies.
She’s still the biggest bird I have ever had on my bird feeder. It looked funny as she bent over looking under the feeder at the little chickadees on the feeders below her. They’re not as big as her head. I kept hoping one of them would land on the feeder next to Theodore so I could get a picture, that would be so amazing! Maybe it will happen one of these days. I hope you all have a marvelous Monday and God bless!

Steve And Muffin’s Monday Smiles #7.
Hi everyone! Here with are with another smile or two for you to enjoy, have fun!
=============
REASONS WHY FARM TRUCKS ARE NEVER STOLEN
~ They have a range of about 20 miles before they overheat, break down or run out of gas.
~ Only the owner knows how to operate the door to get in or out.
~ It is difficult to drive fast with all the fence tools, grease rags, ropes, chains, buckets, boots and loose papers in the cab.
~ The Border Collie on the toolbox looks mean.
~ The large round bale in the back makes it hard to see if you’re being chased. You could use the mirrors if they weren’t cracked and covered with duct tape.
~ Top speed is only about 45 mph.
~ Who wants a truck that needs a year’s worth of maintenance, u-joints, $3,000 in bodywork, taillights and a windshield.
~ It’s hard to commit a crime with everyone waving at you.
============
I have a lot of opinions for someone who is never completely sure of today’s date.
==========
Arnold had just received his new driver’s license. The family heads out to the driveway, and climbs in the car. Arnold is going to take them for a ride for the first time. Dad immediately heads for the back seat and sits directly behind the newly-minted driver.
“Hey Dad, I’ll bet you’re back there to get a change of scenery after all the months of sitting in the front passenger seat teaching me how to drive,” says the beaming boy to his father.
Dad replies, “Nope, just start driving. I’m gonna do like you’ve been doing to me all these years. I’m gonna sit back here and kick the back of your seat.
=============
“A thief broke into police headquarters and stole all of the toilets. The police have nothing to go on.

Have a great day, keep smiling and God bless!
