Today's funny :0)

H/T to wild river!

One afternoon a lawyer was riding in his limousine
when he saw two men along the road-side eating grass.

Disturbed, he ordered his driver to stop
and got out to investigate.

He asked one man, "Why are you eating grass?"

"We don't have any money for food," the poor man replied.
"We have to eat grass."

"Well, then, you can come with me to my house and
I'll feed you, " the lawyer said.

"But sir, I have a wife and two children with me.
They are over there, under that tree."

"Bring them along," the lawyer replied.

Turning to the other poor man he stated,
"You may come with us, also."

The second man, in a pitiful voice, then said,
"But sir, I also have a wife and SIX children with me!"

"Bring them all as well," the lawyer answered.

They all entered the car, which was no easy task,
even for a car as large as the limousine was.

Once under way, one of the poor fellows turned to the
lawyer and said,"Sir, you are too kind."

"Thank you for taking all of us with you.

The lawyer replied, "Glad to do it.
You'll really love my place.
The grass is almost a foot high."

Fat Lucy

This is a pic of her that I took last evening. All she wants to do is scratch for bugs to eat along the stone wall in front of the house. Laverne, Shirley and Charlie will go with her for a little while and then they wander back. Lucy will stay there until I go and pick her up and carry her.


The little stinker squats down and waits for the free taxi ride back to the others. She is starting to waddle like a duck. If she walked any slower she'd be going backwards.

No more treats for her!

Build it and they will come! It's always nice to have a variety of wild birds around. Very enjoyable to watch and they eat so many insect pests, too!

Just pics...

Not much going on here in Coopville - so here are some pics of what I usually see every day:


Mama deer and her fawn in the neighbor's yard:



 Spider web in the morning - didn't see if it caught breakfast:




 The fellow that made this one used leaves to attach his web:


Since we have had a lot of rain, mushrooms are popping up all over the place:


 Some of them are quite pretty, but I wouldn't eat any of them! Even the chickens just walk right by!



And my little weed garden on the side of the house. Lots and lots of mint growing in there. It smells so good!   I freeze the leaves in ice cube trays to add to tall glasses of iced tea. Delicious!



Charlie and the girls are doing fine. Lucy is getting too fat - will have to put her on a diet soon.
