The post actually started out to be something different than what it is going to end up as.  Imagine that…I changed my mind.

In a totally Captain Obvious manner I was going to make a few observations on the differences between men and women.  Annnnnnd that just got to be way to ….yes…..obvious.

So now I am sitting here in the silence of the house…which isn’t too silent by the way…the damned birds are outside screeching at one another…the bumble bees that are flocking around the tree by the Rose of Sharon bush keep bapping into the windows…I just heard some geese honking as they flew overhead….a mourning dove is calling…and the damned woodpecker is at it again in one of the trees in the back yard.

Nature is noisy.  BAP.  Another bumble bee whacks its head and flies away mumbling…”It’s ok.  I meant to do that.”

I am thinking that the tree the bumblers are flocking around is a honeysuckle tree.  White blossoms all over the tree, and the bumblebees are just diggin’ on it.  There is cloud of them all over the tree from sun up to sun down.  Makes it difficult to retrieve the golf balls that land in our yard.  Yes, we have stray balls in the yard on a daily basis from folks who hook it a little too much to the right.  Haven’t had any one break a window yet, but we occaisionally hear one hit the roof and roll down.  Wonder how many are up in the gutters.  Would be kind of cool to have them hit the roof, and then roll into a gutter and down a the drain spout only to pop out on the ground sort of like a minature golf hazard…….

Well maybe not.
