The second dam further up the valley.
I am posting two shots today, one for today and one for tomorrow as we are going to Gozo for the week-end and I will not be on the internet. We have had sunshine and warmth throughout this week. Today it has suddenly gone very cold and windy and we have to expect hail, too. Tomorrow and for the whole week-end it will get worse. Just our luck. And, btw we have to cross to Gozo by the ferry boat.
Joke: The first day, God created the dog and said, "Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this, I will give you a life span of twenty years."
The dog said to the Lord, "That's a long time to be barking. How about only ten years and I'll give you back the other ten?"
And God saw that it was good.
On the second day, God created the monkey and said, "Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I'll give you a twenty-year life span."
The monkey said, "Monkey tricks for twenty years? That's a pretty long time to perform. How about I give you back ten like the dog did?"
And God, again saw that it was good.
On the third day, God created the cow and said, "You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer's family. For this, I will give you a life span of sixty years."
The cow said, "That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. How about twenty and I'll give back the other forty?"
And God agreed that it was good.
On the fourth day, God created humans and said, "Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this, I'll give you twenty years."
But the human said, "Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my twenty, the forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back and the ten the dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?"
"Okay," said God, "You asked for it."
So that is why for our first twenty years, we eat, sleep, play, and enjoy ourselves. For the next forty years, we slave in the sun to support our family. For the next ten years, we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren. For the last ten years, we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone.
Thank you so much for looking and for your lovely comments on my previous shots.
Haha- clever joke! I guess that means I'm in my monkey years now. Lovely shot! Hope the weather turns out much better than expected but enjoy your weekend no matter what.
