Dumb Ass

I'm a peaceful fellow, but a bit of a contrarian. So when I see something like this hanging from someone's front door, I can't help but experience a mild urge to put on knee high rubber boots and slosh around in cow manure before dropping by for my next visit.

My Buds

Well, they're not really mine. I noticed these buds and thousands of friends on the trees managed by the municipality of Evanston, Wyoming along old Main St. today. The kids were in Church class, I was out for a walk after coffee, and the morning was gorgeous. Spring comes late anyway to my part of the country, and this winter was particularly long, so these little buds are a very welcome sight.
