“What is life
without a dream?”

Porte Ponderings:

On April Fools’ Day 2025, keep your jokes light and harmless.

More of a challenge as Political Correctness is also a major concern.

Although it will be a challenge as current events are so unbelievable.

“When you’re hot your hot,
when you’re not your not”

~ Jerry Reed
Singer and songwriter
Born on: 20th March 1937

Porte Ponderings:

Welcome spring ❤ We’ve had enough Winter.

As my husband said I planted my seeds in the greenhouse last winter (two weeks ago).

It was quite a project to repair the greenhouse. One of my grandchildren hit a roof panel with a soccer ball last season. As a result, the panel needed to be replaced.

Well, a couple of years ago, hail hit the roof. The roof panels on the east side were filled with wholes and gunk. Luckily the side panels on the east side are beside the fence and were like new. We cut plywood to replace the east side panels. We painted the plywood white on both sides for protection. This also made the inside bright. Then we cut the side panels to fit the roof. And Voila! New roof.

Then we took one of the old panels to replace the broken one. A good no cost project completed with a little ingenuity. 😉

Porte Ponderings:

So the AI generated image is quite good today. Combining World Wildlife Day and “He that loves reading has everything within his reach”. But who owns the image? Who can use the image? Who’s image was it based on?

Take a bit of time to day to meditate and celebrate Quiet Day.

Maybe take a walk on a snow covered trail.

Or talk quackers with the local ducks 😉

Today’s quote from the 1800’s seems just as true today as it did then.

Weird how the spelling is incorrect and the quote is split.
