I forgot to take my camera with me on my trip to the doc, but I did snap this one with my cell phone. Pardon the quality of the pic but the photo does offer an idea of beauty we view every spring....

I should have pinched you earlier. :~)

MrJust got a good report from the surgeon today. As far as the hernia, he can now go back to normal activities. He sees the doctor for the other issue tomorrow. I’m expecting another good report.

Wishing you a delightful day and a Marvelous March.

I was looking for a close up and happened on this site..Almonds are good for you!
The paragraph about importing bees every year for pollination even from Australia was interesting, too.

JFK’S Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, was in France in the early 60′s when
DeGaulle decided to pull out of NATO.

DeGaulle said he wanted all US military out of France as soon as possible.

Rusk responded “does that include those who are buried here”?
DeGaulle did not respond.

When in England , at a fairly large conference, Colin Powell was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of empire building by George Bush.

He answered by saying, ‘Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders.

The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return is enough to bury those that did not return.’

You could have heard a pin drop.

Two elderly gentlemen from a retirement center were sitting on a bench under a tree when one turns to the other and says: ‘Slim, I’m 83 years old now and I’m just full of aches and pains. I know you’re about my age. How do you feel?’

Slim says, ‘I feel just like a newborn baby.’

‘Really!? Like a newborn baby!?’

‘Yep. No hair, no teeth, and I think I just wet my pants.’

Sorry I'm so late with this - I'm working at a remote office this week and don't have access to all of my graphics.

HAPPY WARM AND FUZZY WEDNESDAY!

Enjoy your Wednesday!!!

This morning I went to sign my dogs up for welfare.
At first the lady said, "Dogs are not eligible to draw welfare." So I explained to her that my dogs are mixed in color, unemployed, can't speak English and have no clue who their Daddy's are. They expect me to feed them, provide them with housing and medical care.

So she looked in her policy book to see what it takes to qualify.

My dogs get their first checks on Friday.

Damn, this is a great country!

High Tech Bar Robot – Obama Joke

A man walked into a very high-tech bar. As he sat down on a stool he noticed that the bartender was a robot. The robot clicked to attention and asked, “Sir, what will you have?”

The man thought a moment then replied, “A martini please.”

The robot clicked a couple of times and mixed the best martini the man had ever had.

The robot then asked, “Sir, what is your IQ?”

The man answered “oh, about 164.”

The robot then proceeded to discuss the ‘theory of relativity’ ‘inter-steller space travel’, ‘the latest medical breakthrough’, etc…….The man was most impressed.

He left the bar but thought he would try a different tact. He returned and took a seat, again the robot clicked and asked what he would have? “A martini please.”

Again it was superb. The robot again asked “what is your IQ, sir?” This time the man answered, “Oh about 100?. So the robot started discussing NASCAR racing, the latest basketball scores, and what to expect the Dodgers to do this weekend.

The guy had to try it one more time.. So he left, returned and took a stool. Again a martini, and the question, “What is your IQ?”??

This time the man drawled out “Uh…. Bout 50?.

The robot clicked then leaned close and very slowly asked,
“A-r-e y-o-u p-e-o-p-l-e s-t-i-l-l h-a-p-p-y w-i-t-h O-B-A-M-A ?”

A cabbie picks up a Nun. She gets into the cab, and notices that the VERY handsome cab driver won’t stop staring at her.

She asks him why he is staring.

He replies: ‘I have a question to ask, but I don’t want to offend you.’

She answers, ‘My son, you cannot offend me. When you’re as old as I am and have been a nun as long as I have, you get a chance to see and hear just about everything. I’m sure that there’s nothing you could say or ask that I would find offensive.’

‘Well, I’ve always had a fantasy to have a nun kiss me.’

She responds, ‘Well, let’s see what we can do about that: #1, you have to be single and #2, you must be Catholic.’

The cab driver is very excited an d says, ‘Yes, I’m single and Catholic!’

‘OK’ the nun says. ‘Pull into the next alley.’

The nun fulfills his fantasy with a kiss that would make a hooker blush.

But when they get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying.

‘My dear child,’ said the nun, ‘Why are you crying?’

‘Forgive me but I’ve sinned. I lied and I must confess; I’m married and I’m Jewish.’

The nun says, ‘That’s OK. My name is Kevin and I’m going to a Halloween party.’

In weekend voting for the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics mascot, Russians chose a wide-eyed, snowboard-toting leopard. But many claim the vote was rigged to ensure Prime Minister Putin's favored mascot would win.
