What a nice surprise the other morning.
JoAnne cracked open two store bought extra large eggs and BOTH were double-yolked!!
So, let me ask you, would this be considered eating 4 eggs or only 2?! I'm going with 2!!

Knit One, Pearl Two
I believe my grandmother, Edna, made this throw blanket for my grandmother Zoie.
This was one of the items I pulled from the items readied for the estate sale of my aunt Ralou.
A vintage item made many years ago.
Feeling Nostalgic
I stopped by the ole Frye family house in Westwood yesterday, walked the property and took a handful of pictures.
Sure do miss the old place and the old times. Memories came flooding back of times gone by; wonderful memories. Such a quiet and peaceful lot, much of it created but our hard work and labor of love over so many years.
Where's my time machine?!
But I Love You! Come Back...
It's that time of year again, Spring, when love is in the air...and the wild turkey's take over the roadways.
Whether you can see them or hear them off in the distance they're everywhere!
The Tom's are relentless in their pursuit of love and affection from the tired and weary hens.
There were about 5 or 6 Tom's in the pics below, each trying to out do the other, with their dancing and puffing and strutting. As the hens would scoot off, the Tom's would follow, often stopping in the middle of the street to prance around, most of the while bring traffic to a complete stop.
I am noticing that some vehicles no longer stop or even slow down when approaching a love struck Tom in the roadway. Seems they're okay with running them over. No question their appeal is waning, as these are common sights now and people are in too much of a hurry to get to where they're going.
Where's My Ice Scraper?!
A frosty morning in mid-April!
UGH, c'mon Spring where are you?
Even the Robin, standing on one foot and shivering, wasn't too happy.
Find The Critter
Can you find the critter in the above photo?!
Something startled this young lady and off she flew up some ~60 feet or so. Seems she startled herself too and appeared to be unsure about what to do and how to get herself down.
Eventually, she made her move and off she went...
A female turkey.
Sad Sign of The Times
The work on our street has been finished now for a couple years, however, as you can see in the below picture there's work remaining to be done.
Sadly, this type of workmanship seems to be typical in this day and age, especially from the Franklin DPW crew. No one cares to take pride in their work or cares to take the time to do the job right.

What's The Deal Mother Nature?!
Hey, what gives, it's April 6th?!
Enough's enough!
Our patio furniture isn't too pleased to be covered in a layer of cold snow.

Knock Knock, Anybody Home?!
A lone Bluebird visiting and checking out our birdhouse accommodations. Last Spring we had a pair of Bluebirds that took up residence in the house shown in the top two pics below. Maybe same one from last year, or perhaps one of their young'n?!
A Bluebird and Finch waiting their turn to checkout the local bird house accommodations. However, it looks like the male House Sparrow has other thoughts and not budging -
I can tell you with 100% certainty that the House Sparrow will be evicted eventually! If the Bluebird doesn't do it, I know the home owner is a dink and he'll see to it personally...

Hi Ho, Hi Ho...
Spent this past Saturday in the yard - welcome Spring!
Pulled the lawn and patio furniture out of storage and washed, did some raking and turned our raised garden beds.
Love this time of year, and once I can stand straight again and tie my boots I'll be back at it...
Distance Cousin of Punxsutawney Phil?!
DRAT, my summer time, garden plant eating nemesis!
I don't care for or about Punxsutawney Phil, nor do I care for or about this rodent making a March appearance in my neighbors yard. Too close for comfort.
It's early but game on.
Hello ACME I'd like to order an anvil and a rocket...
Trying Something New
I tried something new this past Saturday. Instead of donating blood, I donated platelets!
Platelet donation takes about 3-hours, so much longer than donating blood. Also, with a platelet donation they insert 2 needles, one in each arm. The problem or challenge, depending on your view, is that you're not supposed to move your arms once the needles have been inserted. So, that crazy, mad itch that all of a sudden appears on your forehead, well that goes unscratched...
Full disclosure - I got a pretty good public reprimanded for taking the above selfie! Apparently, some silly possibility of driving the needle out the other side of my vein when bending my arm. Who knew.
