It's been a while since I posted the latest signs I've received. As usual, there's no one theme since these are random finds. I trust you'll get a much needed laugh or two from these.
I'll start off with several animal warning signs.
I appreciate knowing the immensity of the danger ahead, but it would be great also to know what creature to watch out for in this next situation.
I wonder if the good folk in Colonial Williamsburg think this might be how "bird flu" is spread.
Here's a welcoming warning.
My son Mark saw this one in a store and knew Dad and his readers would appreciate the contradiction.
What is wrong with this sign?
Here's another food-related sign.
For me, having to keep track of the number of stones I skipped would be deterrent.
Maybe one of my readers could enlighten us as to what this next one is about.
Here are several door-related signs.
I wonder if this next sign causes more people to "touch and see" than a Wet Paint sign would.
grandchild update...
This past weekend Becka, Nora, Topher, and I drove up to Detroit to see Megan, Jim, Drew, and Maddie. After doing really well for two days after the C-section delivery, Megan started to develop preeclampsia. Shortly after we got there Friday afternoon, they began a 24-hour magnesium drip to avoid seizures. Then for several days Meg's blood pressure was a roller coaster, sometimes as high as 190/100, with great variety in both numbers. She was finally able to go home yesterday afternoon and is doing much better now.
Jim's mom took Drew to meet his new sister the afternoon she was born. Here's the proud big brother with Madeleine Grace.
When they got back to Grandma Esther's apartment, he told her, "She's super cute, Grandma."
Becka and I were delighted to meet our first granddaughter.
Meanwhile back here in Greenville, our grandson Ryan continues to be adorable. Here's a picture Katie posted on Facebook last night.
I get to see him this Friday evening when my local kids all come to my house for dinner. Becka is helping out at Meg and Jim's this week before flying home Sunday evening.

Did you hear about the Department of Motor Vehicles worker who resigned on Tuesday? He tried to resign on Monday but discovered that he'd been standing in the wrong line.

While in Switzerland a few years ago some students and I spotted (smelled) a farmer spraying his fields with fertilizer that we were sure was a by-product of the grass the cows had eaten. It was not very pleasant. The fields were; however, beautiful.

So glad to hear that Megan has made it home. I can certainly appreciate your feelings this past week as we went through the same thing two years when our great granddaughter was born. Madeleine looks like a keeper, she is adorable. I am sure that Becka will be suggesting more trips to Michigan.

Yep, the sewage spray field is what it says. We have relatives who used to pig farm. All the runoff from the pig houses was put into a specially designed and tested “pond”. When it started getting too full, the liquids were pumped out and put onto fields. The fields were also highly regulated, but not a place you wanted to tromp through unawares. Hence, the nice warning signs. With the smell all over, it’s not like you could notice it without the sign. Ewww.

My husband was a food inspector at meat processing plants for years and says that cows will eat anything. They are very curious.
Love the pictures of the kids. Congrats on your first girl. We now have 6 girl and 5 boy grands. ; )

I love this post! Mark was right–I like the contradiction. Your granddaughter is simply lovely and I’m glad to hear that Megan is doing better.

Ha! I live near Lanercost Priory, I’m amazed that sign hasn’t popped up on t’internet before now!

Those alligators look a lot like ornamental grass. Maybe the work order mistakenly had the workers install the “keep off grass” sign near the real alligators. Either way, I will stay away.
