What do you do in the summer time?

Oh, what do you do in the summertime, when all the world is green? Do you fish in a stream, or lazily dream on the banks as the clouds go by? Is that what you do? So do I!

Oh, what do you do in the summertime, when all the world is green? Do you swim in a pool, to keep your self cool, or swing in a tree up high? Is that what you do? So do I!

Oh what do you do in the summertime, when all the world is green? Do you stand in muddy water because its too hotter, or eat lunch in the middle of a canal? Is that what you do? So do cows and horses....

As a delivery driver, I got to see some hilarious things. I think these two pictures are a couple of the funniest sites I happened upon out on the road. And trust me, the two different days I took these pictures, the temperature was in the 90's closing in on 100 degrees. The sun just blazed down from the clear blue sky baking everything. Fortunately for these two creatures, they had enough sense to take advantage of the cool water.

ANIMALS DO THE DARNEDEST THINGS!

Oh, the Joy of On-Call

ON-CALL. I absolutely LOATHE giving up my weekend to work, but when the paycheck comes I don't mind so much anymore. Thus goes my relationship with on-call -- LOVE the extra money, DETEST having to work for it.

I spent last weekend working on-call. Friday night and Saturday went okay. When Sunday morning arrived, I looked out the window to see gray clouds and rain drizzling down. Wonderful, I thought.

To make my day even worse, my first page of the day was for a hospital bed delivery out to the middle of nowwhere. Rain steadily falling down. Long drive. Heavy equipment.

Once there, the bed didn't want to cooperate with me, so it took some time (not to mention nearly dropping it off the side of the patio) to get it into the house. By the time I was finished with the setup, I was frazzled and wet.

On my way home, through the rain, I couldn't imagine my day getting any better... I know what your thinking -- this is supposed to be a joyful blog...

I was driving through farm country (close to the middle of nowhere) when I passed a small corral that contained one of the cutest little animals in the whole wide world! I stood on my brakes and flipped the van around to have another look. This is what I saw:

Out standing dejectedly in the cold rain was the cutest little white donkey! He was standing next to his momma with his big floppy ears hanging down. He looked so forlorn. I hopped out of my van into the rain and walked over to the fence to have a better look and take pictures.

When I caught his attention, his ears perked up, but he wasn't too sure about me. His parents came over to investigate, so if he wanted to stay by his momma he had to come over too. He was so cute with his shy curiosity and oversized ears.

This cute little baby just made my day!!! How many of you can say that a cute little white ass turned your day around for the better? OH, WHAT JOY HIDES UNDER GRAY RAINY CLOUDS!!!

HEEEE-HAWWW!!!!
