Cee’s Odd Ball Photos: Unka Bill’s Flower Beds
Cee’s Odd Ball Photo Challenge: Week 11
My brother Bill (Unka Bill to the kids) is an odd ball really interesting guy, but sometimes he gets a little mixed up. When he hears the term “flower bed,” this is what he thinks:
Brother Bill’s Flower Bed
Then again, here’s another oddity in his yard:
A picnic table for squirrels?
Now really. Who puts out a picnic table for squirrels? That is a bit odd unusual don’t you think?
And let’s not stop with the picnic table. Here’s Unka Bill’s special squirrel feeding station.
At our house, we chase the bird-seed-stealing squirrels away from the feeders, but not Unka Bill. He puts fresh corn (bought at the Summerville Flowertown Festival) out on a mini-picnic table posted up on a tree for those pesky squirrels.
Fresh corn on a spike for those pesky squirrels! Really odd!
I personally witnessed this odd behavior event. He put this cob of corn (previously promised for our dinner, mind you!) up on his fancy-schmancy squirrel feeder and went back into the house. Fifteen minutes later, he checked back, and all he saw was a bare cob and not a squirrel in sight. Ungrateful little fellas. They didn’t even stop to say thank-you or clean up their mess.
Oh well, they made Brother Bill happy. Sister-in-law Patty just rolled her eyes.

By the way, you can see pictures of the Summerville Flowertown Festival here in my Quirky Grammar series (from the 2014 A to Z Challenge). There really are some street-fair pictures in these two posts.
1. D is for Deep-Fried Hyphens
2. F is for Freshly Squeezed Adverbs
Okay, I admit that it’s a bit odd to talk about grammar at an outdoor, sunny-day-in-April street fair, but what the heck? I have already confessed to being a Grammar Geek, so you can’t label me as odd. Or can you?

Oh Heck! Another Writing Quirk, theme for the amazing 2014 A to Z Challenge, suggests ways to improve our writing by avoiding and/or eliminating troublesome bug-a-boos that cramp our writing style.

A little odd, maybe, but I actually think the Flower Bed is really funny!
Me, too. I chuckle whenever I see it.
Hi Janice, I really like your photos this week. The bed it hilarious and cool all at the same time.
Yes, it’s hilarious to see it in the garden. I asked where the flowers were, and he said, “Huh?”
Flower bed! I like that. My dad used to say some outrageous things. He would always say “Well, that’s what I heard.” And it was!

Yep. And that’s what I saw! Thanks for your visit.
Love that flower bed. great shots.
Thanks. I’ll tell my brother. Thanks for visiting my blog.
Bill seems like he must be a rather likable sort of quirky. And he has a great sense of humor, as demonstrated by the beautiful flower bed in his yard. 🙂
Yep, you got it right. He is a great brother with a quirky sense of humor. He gets teased a lot, but he handles it well. Thanks for your visit and comment.
I can see Unka has a playful sense of humor. I love the flower bed. As for squirrels and corn, they can make that stuff vanish so quickly!

Unka Bill has a creative mind for sure and he must make the squirrels feel special in the process!
How fun, especial the bed!
