Coffee On Tuesday. #7
Good morning everyone! It is cloudy today and we are supposed to get quite a bit of rain and perhaps some thunderstorms as well. It appears to be raining quite heavily down over the lake right now. Muffin won’t be very happy if there is some thunder. Hmm, it has started to rain. That means I need to close my window. Mainly because the rain is hitting against that window due to the south wind.
It smells so nice with that fresh rain though. However, it is getting wet in here. There, that is done and a fresh cup of coffee is sitting on the table beside me. Soooo nice. At least I can still keep my door open to the balcony and get that nice fresh air coming in through there. The rain doesn’t get at the door. So, I can still enjoy that wonderful freshness from outside.
I am sure glad that I was able to get pics of those flowering trees the other day. Right after that we got such strong wind and then rain, so there was not much left after that. Even the lilacs which were just getting started with blooming last week are nearly done now. Most are still in full bloom, some are dying off already. This rain today will likely finish most of them.
No more photo opportunities with them. Oh well. There will be other flowers. I was up a bit early this morning, just before 4am., just a tad too early, even for me. But I did get to bed quite early last night, right around 8:30pm. Kind of early, but I was tired. So I managed to get a lot of sleep. Speaking of sleeping. Muffin decided to join me on the chair and she is curled up sleeping beside me.
Something was after the robin’s nest across the street this morning. I don’t know exactly where the nest is located, but it’s somewhere behind the house. They were sure making a lot of noise. Some grackles came over to help them too. Seems like it was a crow that stirred up all that trouble. I’m not sure if the crow actually got the nest or not, but I don’t think it was successful.
Hmm, looks like more rain is coming. Some loud thunder with this one too. Well, I seem to be rambling again today. I hope you have a great day and God bless!

Muffin’s Fun! #63
Hi to everyone out there!😻 Oh my, oh my! I so very late today, it now June, no longer May, I sleep too late, what can I say, I bite a toe, that fix my day!! Hehehehe!😹😹 How you like my poem? My human write poem, he going to show later. So I decide to write one too.😼 Now time to get right into funnies for today…
======
A property manager of single-family residence was showing a unit to prospective tenants and asking the usual questions. “Professionally employed?” he asked.
“We’re a military family,” the wife answered.
“Children?”
“Oh, yes, ages nine and twelve,” she answered proudly.
“Animals?”
“Oh, no,” she said earnestly. “They’re very well behaved.”
======
A woman rushes to see her doctor, looking very much worried and all strung out.
She rattles off, “Doctor, take a look at me. When I woke up this morning, I looked at myself in the mirror and saw my hair all wiry and frazzled up, my skin was all wrinkled and pasty, my eyes were blood-shot and bugging out, and I had this corpse-like look on my face! What’s wrong with me, Doctor?”
The doctor looks her over for a couple of minutes, then calmly says, “Well, I can tell you one thing…there’s nothing wrong with your eyesight.”
======
I had a job offer from a large company and they offered to fly me out to the interview on business class.
During the return flight we were given gourmet brownies and cookies. Not hungry, I decided to save them for later, so I placed them in an airsickness courtesy bag.
After the plane landed, I got up to leave and a flight attendant approached me if and asked if I wanted her to dispose of the bag.
I said, “No thanks, I’m saving it for my kids.”
======
The seven-year-old told her mom that a little boy in her class asked her to play doctor.
“Oh dear,” the mother nervously sighed. “What happened, honey?”
“Nothing, he made me wait 45 minutes and then double-billed the insurance company.”
======
Why must I prove I am me when I call to pay my bill? Do strangers call to pay my bills? If so, why don’t you let them?
======
That all for today, have very nice Monday!
Muffin.😽
