Photo Challenge: The Week of March 26th 2022

 It was another week of prompts that I thought were going to be so easy and yet turned out to be a little bit challenging.  I had to stretch the definition of a few of these words to fit some of the photos I had but that's Okay; I like the added challenge! 

– lined-- Most of the large boulders and rocks in our region are lined. 



– spiral-- I really liked the spiral pattern of the leaves on these green flowers. 



– spotted-- We spotted some geese on our hikes this week.



– ordered-- Some socks I ordered for my husband



– your choice-- The pond where we were hiking had an unusual teal-blue tint to the water.

    You found a way to take a pretty photo of SOCKS!! Girl, that's talent. Love the blue-green water. I always try to straighten my photos so that horizontal and vertical lines in the shot are straight but I like the way your trees in the water photo are slightly off-kilter. Makes the photo much more interesting. I am going to stop straighten things!!

    Oh that pond looks lovely! The flower photo is my favourite, but I liked all of these! :)

    Hope you're having a good weekend. We had a birthday party for my son yesterday, so much fun!

      It was so neat to see in person. From what we can tell it's because there is a natural spring that feeds into that pond.

    Hi Joanne. Those rocks, how fabulous, they must be great for making stone chimneys etc. Here we get that colour from glacial water, usually caused by natural minerals dissolved in the water. You live in such a beautiful area, it always looks so peaceful and natural. CarolG

      Yep, we have lots of stone walls and stone chimneys all around us. We went on to read that there is a natural spring in that lake and that is what causes the coloration. We assumed it had to be some sort of mineral in the water but thought it might be leftover from whatever they used to mine out of the quarry.

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mainly through

Things That Make Me Laugh

I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my boys were youn

Dollar Store Candy Cane Wreath

Image
Today I am linking up with some fellow bloggers for a Dollar Store craft challenge.  I don't often participate in these challenges since I try to stay away from our local Dollar Stores; I find they can be quite dangerous for me!  I knew this was the perfect time to find some inexpensive holiday decorations though and I just LOVE how my wreath turned out!  I hope you stop by and see what the other hosts are sharing. Meet this month's co-hosts! Across the Blvd | Purple Hues & Me This Autoimmune Life | Our Unschooling Journey Domestic Deadline | Sew Crafty Crochet Stone Cottage Adventures | Sum of Their Stories | Two Chicks & a Mom I bought the candy cane wreath base and a few rolls of mesh (not knowing how many I'd need I bought waaay to many; I only ended up using one white roll and one red roll. Using some chenille stems I already had on hand I attached the mesh to the wreath base trying to alternate the white
