Looks Can Be Deceiving

It was a balmy spring like day on Saturday and the silvery waters in Lake Ontario were beckoning to this lone seagull.
"Come on in for a swim!"


"Oh and for sure," the gull said to himself, "I would surely enjoy that!"

He put his big toe into the moving water.


He waded in a few inches.
But wait! Wasn't that his shoulders shivering?
Yes!


To this seagull's horror,the waters were freezing and he quickly retreated to dry land, saying to himself as he hurried out, "Swimming is for the birds! I'm outta' here!"

*Mrs. Mac*... This Flower Is For You!

When I returned home this evening, I found this in an email from my sister, Betty Jane.
Apparently she is feeling fine and back to her old tricks of taking pictures.
One of her children picked this dandelion for her and this is what she did with it.
She placed it on a 2007 calendar and at a snap of the camera, she now has the proof that dandelions are indeed blooming here in Niagara County, where there SHOULD be at least two feet of snow covering the ground.

I am sending this to Mrs. Mac who has been singing "Let It Snow" for serveral weeks already.
This little tune has worked very well for Idaho but certainly NOT for Welland!![so far!]
