Pictures and Blungels

 I have some pics from this week, along with a couple of stories, so enjoy!

Last Friday...

Wouldn't even know it's been raining at night for the last couple weeks...

Finally- wild strawberries

Big for them, and the usual in taste- water with a hint of flavor 

Some strange wildlife out there

Sometimes Mother Nature needs a hairpick, too

Doggie and daisies

Possible varmintage, unconfirmed

So story #1 comes from Thursday afternoon and a trip to IHOP.  Laurie ordered classic eggs benedict with hashbrowns.  Received avocado eggs benedict.  I ordered the Big Breakfast Burrito with hashbrowns.  Now, the BBB is essentially a kitchen-sink style omelet, only wrapped in a burrito shell, with scrambled eggs inside.  What I got was a kitchen-sink omelet- and three pancakes.  The waitress- who was delayed in taking our order by having to make change for an elderly gentleman, and could have wrote a novel with the typing she did on her pad to take our order- apologized, noting it was her first day. I have no problem with that.  I do have a problem with no evidence of a trainer within a thousand miles of the poor girl.

Laurie had them redo the order for her; I just said, screw it, it's essentially the same thing.  As I was stuffing the last bites of the omelet in me, I heard someone at the kitchen ask our girl, "Hey, did you have a Big Breakfast Burrito for someone?"  I just laughed.

On to Tuesday, pictures-wise...

A lonely dude at the landing was minding the PFW rent-a-kayak stand.  Despite a great day for it, didn't seem to be any takers.

Amazingly, Misty was content to sit...

Apparently the cutbacks at PFW included pond maintenance

Thanks to Canada wildfires, I present the strawberry moon...

Second story was from the way home from IHOP, when Laurie invented the new word, "blungled."  It came from her misreading of a license plate.  Form the car of a U of Michigan fan, it red BLUNGLD- "Blue and gold", which Laurie read as is.  I said, what a great new word...

Next up, a brief treatment of yesterday...

More rain threatened the whole day (as well as today), but we managed...

Misty after varmintage at the swamp...

...but it was just Mama duck and one baby

Raspberries almost ready to munch!
