Today's funny :o)



An older lady gets pulled over for going 70mph in a 35mph zone ...

Older Woman: Is there a problem, Officer?
Officer: Ma'am, you were speeding.
Older Woman: Oh, I see.
Officer: Can I see your license please?
Older Woman: I'd give it to you but I don't have one.
Officer: Don't have one?
Older Woman: Lost it, 4 years ago for drunk driving.
Officer: I see...Can I see your vehicle registration papers please.
Older Woman: I can't do that.
Officer: Why not?
Older Woman: I stole this car.
Officer: Stole it?
Older Woman: Yes, and I killed and hacked up the owner.
Officer: You what?
Older Woman: His body parts are in plastic bags in the trunk if you want to see.
The Officer looks at the woman and slowly backs away to his car and calls for back up. Within minutes 5 police cars circle the car. A senior officer slowly approaches the car, clasping his half! drawn gun.
Officer 2: Ma'am, could you step out of your vehicle please! The woman steps out of her vehicle.
Older woman: Is there a problem sir?
Officer 2: One of my officers told me that you have stolen this car and murdered the owner.
Older Woman: Murdered the owner?
Officer 2: Yes, could you please open the trunk of your car, please.
The woman opens the trunk, revealing nothing but an empty trunk.
Officer 2: Is this your car, ma'am?
Older Woman: Yes, here are the registration papers. The officer is quite stunned.
Officer 2: One of my officers claims that you do not have a drivers license.
The woman digs into her handbag and pulls out a clutch purse and hands it to the officer.
The officer examines the license. He looks quite puzzled.
Officer 2: Thank you ma'am, one of my officers told me you didn't have a license, that you stole this car, and that you murdered and hacked up the owner.
Older Woman: Bet the liar told you I was going 70 in a 35, too.

Haven't been...

.... doing much lately. Still tired and it's been so, so cold out.

Friday we had more snow:



It only stuck to the bushes and the bare ground. 



The road stayed clear, but schools were delayed for two hours!


It really came down hard and fast!


Didn't seem to bother the horses at all!



Grandson having fun on his ATV:



It was a wet, puffy snow - 


Charlie in the pen looking through the plastic:


Everything really did look pretty:






 No way were they going to get their feet wet! They stayed in the pen ALL day!


Grackles - a whole bunch of them:




The full moon going behind Sunrise Mt. yesterday morning:







Might get a blizzard tonight and tomorrow. 

Lawdy - I hope this the last of the damn snow.....

At the Hop!

Ritchie Valens




Oh, Donna, oh, Donna
Oh, Donna, oh, Donna

I had a girl
Donna was her name
Since she left me
I've never been the same
'Cause I love my girl
Donna, where can you be?
Where can you be?

Now that you're gone
I'm left all alone
All by myself
To wander and roam
'Cause I love my girl
Donna, where can you be?
Where can you be?

Well, darlin', now that you're gone
I don't know what I'll do
All time and all my love for you

I had a girl
Donna was her name
Since she left me
I've never been the same
'Cause I love my girl
Donna, where can you be?
Where can you be?

Oh, Donna, oh, Donna
Oh, Donna, oh, Donna

Oh

Friday Night Steam

How about we take a peek into North Korea and see what they are using for fuel to run their steam engines?







You could probably smell that train arriving from miles and miles away!





Phew!



Today's funny :o)

A big H/T to Donna!



:o)




Spring?

The lilies are popping up:



An adorable little bird - and we saw a bunch of robbins in the front yard yesterday!



A tuft of squirrel fur - wonder what happened:


The gang eating treats:



The forsythia is starting to bud:


The poopie bin had a flat tire:


Charlie is in there... somewhere....



Nope - Not Spring yet! By the time you read this, there will be snow in Coopville.  :o(
