The Sounds of Spring time

Posted on April 6, 2014April 6, 2014 by Dusty Roads

Birds tweeting comes to mind…but not in my neighborhood.

Today it was the revving of Harley engines on the side street by my window. At dawn…grrrr

That is my only complaint with motorcycles.. the noise…or maybe it’s not the bikes themselves but the inconsiderate riders who like revving the engines so early. When they actually pulled out the noise level wasn’t bad.

The other sound of spring also started today 🙁 Ach, ach, ach…the lovely sound of a cat barfing a hairball. Yup shedding season is upon us.

Somewhere it all that noise a bird has to be singing , right?

I’m Late

I know I’m late with today’s post.

To be honest, I had a cram packed full day yesterday and didn’t have time to even think of a topic.

But I’ll put my thinking cap on and try to get us back on track for tomorrow.

Happy Valentine’s Day

Superbowl

Posted on February 4, 2014February 4, 2014 by Dusty Roads

Wow, who would have thought that the Superbowl would be such a blowout?! Peyton is a better QB than that. Once the rout was on, the first play? why bother to keep watching? I’ll tell you why…The Commercials!

Yup they are what I watch for every year. Remember the Darth Vader car commercial? That was the cutest little Darth Vader I’ve ever seen and when his Dad started the car so Darth would think he’d done it… precious!

Budweiser commercials with those gorgeous Clydesdales are always my favorites.

Last year was the one about the foal bonding with the farmer and the reunion after the little horse had all grown up. This year it was horses and puppies. How can you miss with that combination? It’s my favorite from this year.

Ok I admit it. I also laughed at the Bud Light commercial and the Tebow is Back (T-Mobile) commercial. I even chuckled over the Geico commercial with the pig at the registry. Let’s face it, we’ve all been there!

I thought the Muppets commercial was a let down but maybe you disagree.

What’s your favorite?

Will He or Won’t He?

Posted on February 2, 2014February 2, 2014 by Dusty Roads

It’s February 2nd and the question on everyone’s mind is…will he or won’t he…see his shadow that is.

According to tradition if it’s cloudy when the ground hog pokes his nose out of his burrow today, he’ll be pleased and go about his business BUT…if he peeks out and it’s sunny, he’ll see his shadow and it will scare him back into his den and with his retreat winter will again close her icy arms around the land for another 6 weeks.

That’s a lot of pressure on a rodent. Let’s face it, no matter what they say in Gobbler’s Notch , PA Punxsutawney Phil is no Mickey Mouse.

If you want to join in the fun remember, statistically the ground hog has only been right 37% of the time. On the other hand, how often are the meteorologists right?

Happy Ground Hog Day. 🙂
