Happy new year to my blog readers! Thanks for all your chiming in this last year–I’ve enjoyed getting to know you through your witty and wise comments! 2018 will be even better…we’ve got lots of good things in store.
The winner of the last photo contest (prior to Christmas) was John Dallal, for “My get up and go has got up and went.” I think that’s exactly how I’m feeling, post Christmas! John, email me and I’ll get a book sent to you.
Below is this week’s photo. It came from the Wall Street Journal’s “2017 The Year in Pictures.” When I saw it, I cracked up. Just an fyi: it was taken by the man’s wife.
Sharpen your funny bones…

Maybe the tornado will mulch the grass for me!
If I hurry, I can finish before the storm hits!
Maybe the tornando will pick up all the grass cuttings and take them away for me so I don’t have to rake it up
Completely oblivious!! I think I hear a train!!
What? It’s just a little cloud!
Time is like a whirlwind – mowing season will be here before you know it!
What? We never have tornados here!
Did you say something,dear?
Oops, maybe I won’t have a fence next time I mow…but…must get this done now.
“Objects in photo are closer than they appear!!”
😬
RUN!!!
Oh what a beautiful morning, oh what a beautiful day. I have a wonderful feeling, everything’s going my way!
“There go those sirens again! Always a siren, never a tornado in sight!”

“Just keep mowing – companies coming!”
It’s not nice to fool Mother Nature!
Not standing idly by…waiting to be swept away!
At least I won’t have to use the leaf blower today!
I’m dreaming of . . . . . .
Man’s mower against God’s dustbuster – who’s gonna win?
I’m almost done!
I’ve got plenty of time, don’t worry so much!
