Wordle is new for me and the only word or number game I do on the computer. I prefer the newspaper crossword and soduku. Love the Sunday New York Times crossword. It might take me 2 or 3 days to complete it. It's a hard puzzle. The Sunday Boston Globe is fun because they have bad puns in the clues. Gotta keep those brain cells strong

Have 5 regular games of Words with Friends going, for about a decade now.
I play everyday, that's enough for me.

I had to look that up; never heard of it before.

Wordle is addictive, no doubt about it! (Is it bragging if I say I've won 25 of them in 5 or fewer?)

I loves me a really good crossword puzzle! I learned a lot of new things that way. Like the Greek letter of bad luck is Theta. So god help us if they call any variant of Covid theta...

Jeez, was out with the girls and came inside to take bp and as soon as I sat, I saw Sophia running towards the run. Ran outside and sure enough, 3 hawks flying low. Girls are fine,all accounted for. Sophia the NN is the fastest runner. I need a riffle!

Dreams, you can't shoot Hawks. They are federally protected birds, and the Feds take that very seriously. It's really not the best of times to have birds out running around due to the current highly contagious avian influenza.

This is a good reminder that in the spring and fall there are many many migrating Hawks and owls that are very hungry. Good time of the year to confine your birds at least to a run anyway.

Seems the ferry had a steering problem.

Coast Guard to the rescue.

Oh yes there were a lot of very tired grumpy guys around here last night. After the rudder broke, and the boat was drifting in the ice, the Coast guard came out and hauled them in to port on Mackinac Island. But since it was foggy there were no planes flying, so the Arnold Transit company finally sent over one of their freight boats, the Senator (previously the Sacre Blue) to pick the guys up. A late night for all.

But all were safe, right?

I know. I would not shoot any bird anyways. I like my targets to be steady,lol

 

[1muttsfan]

I know just what you mean!

Yes everyone made it back home safe, a lot of grumpy people today too because they didn't have a replacement boat ready and it was too foggy and rainy to fly. Mackinac Island can be like a trap when you can't get off it.

The edible Easter contest is on! A favorite of mine, I wish we could judge by taste as well as by how beautiful the entries are. Check it out here, and think about entering it is very fun.

Why? I need to know why does everything happens all at once?
Never mind, just headstuff.
Second toilet out. Hub dropped a new soap in it and unable to get it out. The darn thing is sitting on my backyard. Just back from HD with a new one. The soap is stucked in the sifon of the whole "commode" pardo mua french! Lol

I should fill with dirt and put flowers in it,lol
No, it just grieves me that my yard is beginning to look like a junk yard.
The Wyndottes are free loading today. Not one paid the daily egg. However, yesterday I told the girls that O was thinking of getting them a stud. So, bigger seabright decided to become broody today. Took the eggs from under her but stayed sitting on the ceramic egg. So, in 21 days, I should have a ceramic chick, lol
She did that twice last year and it has begun again. Let's see how many times she does this year. I am not going to bother her. It's the mother in her calling. Hopefully later on, she can be a big mama. For now, she will still be my lil' mama.
Yesterday got called from VA again. If my bp does not get better, I might be hospitalized again. Not ready for another forced vacation for sure.
