Mirror, Mirror on the wall… Who is the FAIREST of them all?

I saw this while walking.

My first thought was Snow White and her wicked step-mother, Evil Queen.

Here is picture from afar, then I walked closer.

There’s a story here. Who put this mirror there?

Ponder that on the weekend…

Supermoon – Does it change your mood?

The other night, I stepped outside and was surprised to see the full moon. It was so bright, my first thought, before I saw the moon, was that a spot light was shinning down on me. Then I looked UP!

LOL – It was God about to talk… me feeling like a spot light was on me, laugh a little.

I didn’t know it was a supermoon until I Googled it. I was able to capture this picture.

Interesting, the IPhone usually takes clear night sky photos, but the ones I took were all a bit blurry.

Still, you can see how bright the moon was. Really a treat to see.

Go out tonight if you remember, you’ll be amazed! Oh, and I do think this is why I’ve been moody these past few days. Could be?

Halloween Hotline — May I help you?

This was funny. I have a friend whose birthday is on Halloween. Imagine that!!

I was at the store and came across this Halloween phone. A shame, I think it needed a battery, so that the skeleton’s head would light up while dialing/calling someone.

Dialing the phone was fun, like the “old days,” when as you dial, you hear a clicking sound.

I imagined being in a haunted house, finding this phone and calling GHOST BUSTERS!

H-E-L-P —> Get me out of here!

I’ve seen a Ghost! 👻

I leave you with the Halloween Hotline!

Cheers to a great weekend!

The last of the summer flowers and sailing!

Wow – FALL arrived quickly! Cooler temps, days are noticeably darker in the morning and evening.

As I was out walking, I noticed there are still a few summer flowers blooming, but soon they will be gone, replaced by Fall flowers.

In the stores… Halloween stuff will soon be on SALE, because they’ve already brought Christmas stuff out.

Ah, it all happens so quickly, we need to SLOW down and ENJOY the new season.

Have a great weekend! Time to cozy up with a good book.

Photography – Sometimes we get it RIGHT!

A beautiful sunset in Michigan. The only thing missing are the sound of the waves…

Later clouds were coming in.

Another great photo, but the IPhone always has that “green dot,” so hard to get rid of it.

We’re moving into August. Soon it will be Fall.

ENJOY the weekend!

Amazing bees… Have you seen them up close?

I’m always thrilled when out walking with some amazing nature finds. I was looking at these beautiful flowers when a bee came buzzing by. Time to eat!

As I looked at this one, I was able to get a close up picture. A beautiful creature.

Walking further, I found a few other bees. So, honored them with a photo of themselves too.

When we slow down, it’s fun to observe nature.

Here’s to enjoying summer!!

Why did you get divorced?

Ok, I think we all need a good chuckle on this Friday afternoon. I was at the store recently and I saw these hamburger pillows. They are so funny. Why?

It’s part of the reason I got divorced many years ago.

When my eight year old daughter was asked why her parents divorced. She said, “Because my dad ate too many hamburgers and didn’t talk enough.”

Ok… that’s how I had explained it to my children when they were little. I gave an example of their friends from school and reasons why they didn’t get along with their friends, which was similar.

So, when I saw this stack of hamburgers it brought back funny memories.

GUESS WHAT my ex/husband is getting for Father’s Day! YES, his very own hamburger pillow. He will laugh, it’s been a joke of ours for years now.

We can always find humor in challenging situations.

Happy Father’s Day… soon… I’m ready!

Dandelions – Make a Wish… or… Eat them!

I was out walking and saw so many dandelions. They are in season. A few years ago, I learned that the dandelion starts out as a yellow flower and then turns into the puff ball that we blow to make a wish.

When we blow on the buff ball, we are blowing the dandelion seeds into the wind…

Seems like we should hurry and make multiple wishes while ALL the seeds are flying off, right. Increase our chances of at least ONE wish coming true.

You can also eat them. My Italian relatives would go in the garden pulling the leaves and using them in salads and cooking them too. They taste like arugula.

So, here’s to DANDELIONS! Make a Wish!

Photograph – Lightning up close…

Last night we had a thunder storm. The sky was so interesting with constant lightning. I was able to capture a few photos, careful not to stay out too long and get struck by lightning. The sky was AMAZING.

Today, back to sunny skies.

Have a nice weekend!

Mother’s Day… still time!

I was at the store yesterday and it was amazing. Costco smelled like a florist. They had so many roses, these are just a few, imagine rows and rows of them, ALL colors.

I smiled when I saw two lucky pennies next to each other. Soon, we won’t have pennies anymore. So finding these felt special. Some Mother’s Day LUCK, “In God We Trust!”

We know Mother’s Day is in May, but it seems to sneak up on us. Suddenly, it’s “Hey, did you do something for your mother yet?” These roses were a big reminder.

So, don’t delay. There is still time to do something special for our Mom’s!

Happy Mother’s Day!
