Hummm…2020

August 25, 2020

Many of my followers know what is coming with the strange and the possible far out there of this Hummm post. I have to admit, hard to find or see such things if you are locked in your own house for months on end or within the local community where the once hummm… is now just part of the landscape.

But, we have ventured out a small amount and the hummm file got larger than I thought. Now, I must share all the strange hummm in our world with the world.

Always good to keep a positive attitude in these trying times. Engine cover for one of the aircraft at Schiphol International Airport being mothballed during the Covid 19 shutdown.
Hummm…that is one darn big egg! This has been a common thing and now is no longer a hummmm in our house. Always good to break open a double yoke egg.

When I am out for my much needed exercise I sometimes see some strange things in the neighborhood. Yes, this made me look twice and then reach for the camera to make sure I am not totally loosing it.

What is that? Hummm lets get a closer look.
Hummm is this really needed? Am I late or early for something? More importantly WHO placed this here? Hummmm… Next day it had disappeared. Hummmm

Then there was the COVID 19 downsizing clean up of the attic. This now brings into question my hubby and his profession in the aviation industry or hummmm… CIA watcher?

Article of the CIA flying into Schiphol Airport. Hummmm….
Hummm two pages about the possible CIA flight. Well, what can I say? Americans are always seeking around the world. Hummmmm… Nothing can get past the Dutch undetected!

Then a Spring trip to Limburg I saw this.

Hummm… Looks like an outdoors person for sure. My hummm was not long as I actually talked with the owner and he is a teacher with the International School in Brunssum and comes from Canada. Anyone teaching kids should document with stickers!

Then there was this strange mailbox on that same Limburg trip.

“Hummm Bob. What should we do with the wine barrel once it is empty?” Hummm I don’t know Joe. Wait, I got it! Let’s make a mailbox out of it!” Hummmm… maybe cut back on the wine in Limburg?

Another walk in our local area produced this hummm… combination in a front garden.

Hummmm… is that? A ski lift cart? Really? Hummm…a British mailbox? Hummmm strange.

Same street.

Hummm…The square North Holland relatives of the guys in Limburg?

The garden where I volunteer always makes me think hummm. Nature has a way of surprising all of us when we least expect it. This guy, I didn’t expect and never had seen one this big a good 3 inches long in The Netherlands before.

Hummm … OMG a huge green grasshopper!

So that brings us close to the end of the summer and this past weekend. Driving home from the Rotterdam area we did a double take when this passed us on the road.

Hummm… A Green Car! Really Green Car. Hummm…
Hummm… the lady bugs are a nice touch.

Where are we now?

March 27, 2020

I have written hundreds of blogs in the last two weeks. Have you seen them? The answer is “no”! Sadly those blogs maybe lost in history and time due to fast pace of events unfolding each and every day.

But, we are still healthy, food is available in the stores.

Pet food – alternative food source if needed.

The Hubby has now finally relocated from his office at the airport to the office at the house which means I have less space to do my thing. As most of you are also enjoying all the quality time together with your significant others I am sure you all feel like “ why haven’t we done this before.”

The first bloom of the season

Let’s face it. The Hubby can now help me in all those tasks he only accomplishes when I am traveling alone in the US. He has to follow the strict towel folding rules. Accomplish the “Honey do list” that recently has gotten totally out of control with the new situation facing the world.

One of his many projects over the last week.

Our, yes…I said “our” office now looks like a operational war room with lists, dates, tasks to be accomplished, tasks already accomplished and more equipment than I ever use for writing. I guess this airplane business is serious stuff.

In other news we have been preparing for our chickens which arrive tomorrow. I can’t wait to hear their clucking in the back garden. Thanks to my readers and family for providing name requests. They will be revealed next blog.

The start of something new. Hubby moves his monitor into the home office.

Also, my tulips are in full bloom. That along with the beautiful weather has made our “home” time like a vacation resort. Maybe the Hubby thinks differently as he has been doing the heavy work. Hummm… another blog, maybe.

So, don’t fear readers/followers we are still here and keep moving forward with each passing day.

Stay safe, healthy, and humble.
