May is ebbing away

Well, there wasn't any rain..........cloudy, overcast, sometimes almost a light mist in the air, but no real moisture, and we could use some rain.  Click on photos to enlarge.

She was born a couple days before our
great granddaughter.  She lives on Fort
Hood, New York.

I started to tear this nest off the down-pipe by our bedroom
window and discovered 4 or 5 robin-blue eggs in it.

GROANER'S CORNER:((  A policeman was interrogating 3 blonde guys who were training to become detectives. To test their skills in recognizing a suspect, he shows the first blonde guy a picture for 5 seconds and then hides it. "This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?" The first blonde guy answers, "That's easy, we'll catch him fast because he only has one eye!"  The policeman says, "Well...uh...that's because the picture I showed is his side profile." Slightly flustered by this ridiculous response, he flashes the picture for 5 seconds at the second blonde guy and asks him, "This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?"  The second blonde guy smiles, flips his hair and says, "Ha! He'd be too easy to catch because he only has one ear!" The policeman angrily responds, "What's the matter with you two??  Of course only one eye and one ear are showing because it's a picture of his side profile! Is that the best answer you can come up with?"  Extremely frustrated at this point, he shows the picture to the third blonde guy and in a very testy voice asks, "This is your suspect, how would you recognize him? He quickly adds, "Think hard before giving me a stupid answer."  The blonde guy looks at the picture intently for a moment and says, "The suspect wears contact lenses."  The policeman is surprised and speechless because he really doesn't know himself if the suspect wears contacts or not. "Well, that's an interesting answer. Wait here for a few minutes while I check his file and I'll get back to you on that." He leaves the room and goes to his office, checks the suspect's file in his computer, and comes back with a beaming smile on his face. "Wow! I can't believe it. It's TRUE! The suspect does in fact wear contact lenses. Good work! How were you able to make such an astute observation?" "That's easy," the blonde guy replied. "He can't wear regular glasses because he only has one eye and one ear."

The child comes home from his first day at school.  His Mother asks, "Well, what did you learn today?"  The kid replies, "Not enough. They want me to come back tomorrow."
