Thursday Tidbits

I have a 4 foot circle strawberry patch that blooms and looks beautiful, but can’t enjoy any of the strawberries because the birds and squirrels eat them all.

Quiet is one of my favorite sounds.

Is it ok to be envious of your neighbor’s beautiful flowers when you can’t grow a thing?

How does a handprint appear on the window by the front door EVERY DAY???

When the wind blows I hate it and when it doesn’t, I hate it!

We just ordered wood blinds for the house.  I’ve been waiting almost 15 years for this and can’t wait to sit and admire them!

How can an ant smell a crumb on the kitchen floor and make its way into the house to eat it?

I don’t bake.   As a mom, I think that’s a negative thing.

Why do the cats have to sleep on my side of the bed?  There’s plenty of room on the end of it for them to be comfy and NOT on my legs. 

We’ve recycled for almost a year now and barely have one bag of trash a week.  I feel awful about all the trash we didn’t recycle.  I probably have filled a landfill on my own over the last 20 years.

I love smelling fresh mowed grass.  It makes me sneeze, but it’s so clean and fresh.

A Little of This and a Little of That

I’m  hoping to try out a few features of my new camera this weekend.  I don’t know if I’ll get the boys to be my models or not (they get a little tired of mom taking their picture all the time) so may have to use nature or the cats as my subject.

Is it really true that you shouldn’t drink water from a plastic bottle if it’s been left in the car? Sheryl Crow said this is how she believes her breast cancer was caused.  There is a toxin called dioxin that is released from the bottle into the water and has been know to be found in breast cancer tissue.  Does anyone know more about this?

I’m hoping to find the movie, Hearafter, staring Matt Damon, at RedBox this weekend.  They have a “reserve” feature on-line to hold a movie at a particular RedBox.  Did you know that?   If you try it before me, let me know if it worked or not. 

The big fish died.  Flake overdose.  (Actually I think it was excessive feeding that did it.)  Off to find a new one to replace it.  No funeral was held.  I simply scooped him out and said, “So long, Oreo.” 

The cheap wax melts from Wal-Mart really work well and make the entire house smell like I’ve been baking cinnamon muffins all day.  Can you smell it?

The high today is supposed to be in the 60s. You know what that means don’t you?  It means there is probably a snowstorm on the way.  I can only hope!

I really need to paint the blue wall in bedroom our master bedroom.  Navy blue really does not go with chocolate brown, cinnamon and wheat!  Trust me. It doesn’t.

I’ve been spending a great deal of time in my loft this week and love the sunshine it gets and the fact I can see the mountains from my window.   Simply beautiful. 


Having a good hair day today.  I know.  Not something to write about, but it’s true!  

Happy Friday everyone.
