Happy Mother’s Day!

by Steve, May 13th, 2012

The mom of the house requested a morning walk, and off we went to see if the ducklings had hatched. They had!

The bull frogs were out, too, making our backyard Chorus Frogs seem tiny by comparison.

The beavers, they have been busy.

They keep this up, we’re going to have to rename Nutriaville to “Beaverville” or “Beaverton” or something.

The roses never stop blooming around here.

And the poppies are in full bloom.

Happy Mother’s Day to all!

Meanwhile, at the haunted rink

by Steve, May 9th, 2012

This is what happens when the new ice rink management gets a liquor license… no more BYOB for beer league! It’s $3 a bottle at the snack bar, boys!

After pickup hockey today, I took a shower and was toweling off with my back to the shower. I was alone in the locker room. The shower turned back on suddenly. Pretty sure it’s just the crappy plumbing at the old dump, but it kind of freaked me out a little. Maybe it was a ghost of beer leagues past, coming back to haunt the joint.

Now that they’re raking it in with the beer sales, maybe they can rehab the showers. Just sayin.
