“Today was pretty low key.
So yesterday was Thor.
Which is ironic because today is Thor’s Day.” (Did you get it? Low key as in Loki, Thor’s brother? And today, Thursday, really is Thor’s Day, since it was named for the Viking god.)
This is what I have to deal with, people. If you like his jokes and puns, see more here and here, at your own risk.
Here he is putting in the last screws of our much-smaller-than-advertised chicken coop. Fear not, fowl lovers. Once it was put together in the shade, he and I easily carried it to a grassy spot in the yard. Next he’s building a pen to give our future chickens more exercise. (Also, he looks kind of Frankensteiny with those screws in his mouth and forehead wrinkled with effort. Rest assured, I did not marry Frankenstein’s monster. Though if I had, I’d have less puns to deal with.)
Haha…

Chickens? Chickens. Okay, chickens. I’ve always wondered if Frankenstein’s neck bolts got in his because he had them in his mouth, then swallowed them, and the bolts got caught sideways. Just keep your chickens away from bolts.

Are you growing squash or zucchini? I am referring to the green plant with vines behind your husband. My squash plants did not grow much in last one month and half (we live in the desert 🌵).

Those are grape vines, actually! We’ll see if we get any this year. Last year was a bit of a bust. We, too, don’t get much rain.

Yup, Problem is nobody gets him. I have to explain it. And then he tells me it’s not funny if you have to explain it. Well, once it was explained, and they understood his puns, they thought he was funny. It needed to be run through wife translator first.

I love a good pun. Unfortunately for my partner, I am the one with the bad jokes and puns. I get it from my dad. Once he told me he tried tap dancing but he kept falling in the sink 😂.
Them are some lucky chickens. They’re going to love it 🙂

I love the Loki joke. He’s always been one of my favs in the movies, for which my sons give me grief. 😁

Your sons give you grief for that?! I’m a little shocked. He’s a cool psuedo-villian. I should think your boys would admire that. I actually like Kylo-Ren, but I have yet to find someone who agrees with me on that.

Since every middle-aged woman likes Loki, they can’t possible find him cool. That’s my guess. 😄
