sign, sign, everywhere a sign!

Sign, sign everywhere a sign ....

Do this, don't do that...can't you read the sign?

So go the words to an old song. But truth be told...there are times that I can NOT read the sign...or I have no idea what it means.

I'm guessing this is where the chicken crosses the road.

And when I see these signs out in our neighbourhood...

...my first thought is always to make a quick stop for the free eggs. But then I am reminded that it's the chickens that are free...not the eggs!

And so I do on occasion have trouble figuring out exactly what the signs are supposed to mean. But eventually I catch on!

For the past few days I have had yellow signs in my kitchen...ever since the grands came across the fields to visit a few days ago.

There is one on my fridge door...another on the pantry door...and a few more stuck here and there. I knew they were really important...so I have not removed them...but I honestly did not know what they said. Each little yellow 'post-it' sign had the same message...

...and I finally have it figured out. I remember now that Spencer asked me how to spell 'you'...and I said Y-O-U. Therefore...she must have reasoned...by adding an S to that word...you would then have YOUS (the word we normally spell USE). And so the sign means DO NOT USE IT! But I will plead ignorance...as the pantry and fridge are very hard to stay out of.

The sun showed up late yesterday afternoon...

...as the fog rolled in to cover the neighbourhood. Sun and fog...a perfect ending to a winter's day!

Have a wonderful weekend...
