Nothing says lovin' like ...

Hey now! Here's a three-hour happy hour! Let's get real happy!

I'm sort of on the list this year, along with a lot of my favorites: Arthur Spooner, Bertha Butt, Dolly Parton, Kyle Bradish, my grandmother, Omar The Tentmaker, and Wilford Brimley, the leading man in so many Quaker Oats commercials. I hope we don't get very far down the list, though.

No one seems to like dandelions, but bees and butterflies love them for bringing
an early nectar source in springtime, and their deep roots tap deeply into the ground,
,naturally aerating your lawn.

You know that package of oyster crackers you have going stale in the cupboard?
This critter here would love to have them!

Imagine being on the crew building the dome over the Rotunda in Washington! It was completed in 1866, during the Civil War. The workpersonship!

Speaking of which, here's a handyperson special, as the real estate ads love to say. "Just a few weekends and some trips to Lowe's, and your house will be your pride and joy."

Everyone who's been to Italy comes back raving about the friendly people and the fine food and beverages. It looks a tad bit crowded for me...

Did one of your parents sit you down for a talk about the birds and the bees? I explained everything as patiently as I could to Dad, but he still had questions.

On this day, June 6, 1944, Western Allies invaded Normandy by sea, air, and land, to liberate Western Europe from the Nazi occupation. World War II ended just over a year later, but not without tremendous losses of soldiers and sailors and Air Corpsmen and Marines. I can't imagine the fear and trepidation these men felt as they prepared to parachute into the invasion.
