The Weekly Smile #3

Featured Image -- 7867

This quote on Nancy’s blog is hilarious. The “Weekly Smile” blog post is a great idea.

Nancy's avatarThe View from the Porch

This week’s smile comes from one of my favorite comedians, Elayne Boosler.  It’s an oldie but a goodie!

“I have six locks on my door all in a row. When I go out, I lock every other one. I figure no matter how long somebody stands there picking the locks, they are always locking three.”

On my fence: rainbow lorikeets

Yesterday, when I put out some seed and bread the lorikeets were already among the blossoms in the gum tree, unbeknownst to me. They squawked, letting me know so I stayed and coaxed them down. I still had my camera phone in my pocket from walking the dog.

I have to move that pond from there as it gets too much litter from the gum tree. I thought it might, which is why I never finished off around the bottom pond. I’ve seen some of the little honey-eaters and the sparrows use the middle pond.

Have a good day.  🙂

Looking out for cats

Vika is always on the lookout for cats

Vika is always on the lookout for cats – they live over there

 

dog meets cat

and this morning there is one basking in the sunshine

I thought it would just swipe Vika across the nose – but it ran home, but only as far as the end of Vika’s leash. Not much difference in size, nor colour.

 

No dogs or cats were harmed in my exercise in stupidity. Vika could have lost an eye!

Have a good day.  🙂
