Well, well … here we are again, right back at the beginning of another week. They just fly by entirely too fast, don’t they? It got c-c-cold here over the weekend and for the first time in months, I am wearing a sweatshirt instead of just a t-shirt. I don’t mind, though … it actually felt kind of nice. So, how was your weekend? Do anything fun? Well, I see Joyful just finished putting out a few snacks for us to enjoy, so let’s go grab a bite and then see what fun things we can find to start this week out with a smile, shall we?
Let’s start the morning with some puns …
We’ve got just a few animal memes to share with you …
Now, about those ‘toons …
And to wrap up our time together this morning, Jolly found this really fun animal video about a raven named Walt … you will laugh … I promise!
Well, friends, once again it’s time to get out there and be productive in one way or another. We’ve really enjoyed spending a bit of time with you this morning and we hope you found something that brought a smile to your face. Remember to share those smiles with others this week and let’s see just how many smiles we can spread in one week! Keep safe and have a happy week. Love ‘n hugs from Filosofa, Jolly ‘n Joyful!!!
Filosofa took some much-needed time away from ye olde blog this past weekend and as a result, some comments may have gone unanswered, for which I offer my sincere apologies. I try never to let that happen, but every now and then I just get overwhelmed and have to step back for a day or two.

Thank you for this-wonderful as usual! I even remember I liked the re-seeding heirline, and the plant parenthood meeting ones the best, but all is outstanding and refreshing. I hope you’re at least somewhat refreshed, as well. Thank you for all you do!

Sorry to use your blog, Jill, but Oct. 14th is Referendum Day in Australia, and I know you have a lot of Australian readers. Please, vote YES on Oct. 14th. Make this world a less hurtful and hateful place to be. And ask your friends to PLEASE vote YES! Bring Australia into the 21st Century.

We still get high late summer temps (still unusual for this time of the year). But you can say fall has arrived. In the mornings and evenings, it is getting pretty cool quickly.

I think autumn is and has always been my favourite season. We have a frost warning for tonight! A bit early in the season, surprisingly, since they are predicting a warmer-than-usual winter.

Oh, hope it is not going to be too cold. Warmer-than-usual winters are our new regular winters. Not good. Expecially because of the insects that don’t die and the new ones that are settling here.

No, it wasn’t too cold and the frost didn’t materialize. It only got down to about 38° F (3° C). The last several winters have been warmer than usual and we had only 2-3 measurable snowfalls last winter compared to 12-15 on the average winter. No, it isn’t good … not at all.

Oh, I hear you! But 38°F is pretty cold anyway. However, we are going to have a drop of the temps next Sunday… but it is simply back to normal fall temps.

Thanks for the smiles, Jill! This video with Walt I just saw the other day. Good for him to have found a family, as it does not seem likely that he will learn to fly well.

I’m glad you enjoyed the smiles and the Walt video! You’re right … it doesn’t seem likely that he will ever be able to fly well, but he seems to have a good home with people who love him, and also the freedom to roam. The best of both worlds!

I felt a bit sorry for Walter. I’m sure he has imprinted on her, thinks the lady is his mother, and doesn’t like to be separated from her. Good to see she still allows him to be one of the family.
Best wishes, Pete.

Earl naturally has the right answer. He is truly in tune with the Universe.
Mind you Garfield’s views on peopling come a close second.
And somehow the Star Trek one is ‘just right’

Thanks for asking Jill.
Sadly Sheila had a text this morning. ‘Appointment had to be cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances.’ That normally means one of the overstretched staff couldn’t make it in.
Phone after 2pm to find out when next appointment can be made.
It happens these days.

Will do Jill. She is getting better slowly but surely. We’ll be seeing someone next week.
This is how it is these days. We did get a bit inventive on our own to ease the symptoms.

I’m glad to hear she is getting better, albeit slowly, and I’m almost afraid to ask about your own inventive treatments! Definitely set off my imagination, though! You know I care — you and Sheila are two of the nicest people I’ve ever known. 😊

Thank you so much Jill
Fear not; these involved using menthol rub either directly onto the chest on making a hot water mix and inhaling (sometimes cough medicine) and also ‘huggables’ (Soft cuddly animals with micro-wave heated wheat bags placed inside).
As efficacious as many a pharmaceutical product.

I’m glad little Naya loves her huggable, you can’t beat them for aches and pains, we’ve both relied on them for backaches.
Yeah this is a freaky one. It’s like ‘Long Covid’ without being Covid and those horrible incapacitations. Just- weird.
