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.
