Happy Friday!
Tanya (Around Roanoke) is back with
WILLY-NILLY FRIDAY FIVE again!
Click to Enlarge Photos.
1. That 1st Day of School must have been tiring. I found Coleen asleep in my chair about an hour after she got home from school. - I think getting up earlier took it's toll.
2. We spotted this Bumble Bee drying out it's wings on the bird feeder and Coleen wanted me to take it's picture. I love how "fuzzy" it is.
3. One of the last fun things we did before school started was the Mentos and Coke experiment. Coleen and her friend, Emily had a lot of fun watching the coke explosion after they dropped the Mentos in the bottle.
4. I've spotted these deer several times in recent weeks. I sent copies of these photos into our local paper. They published the first two. I wanted to share the doe as I think she's just as pretty. I thought it was neat to have my photos published but they spelt my last name wrong which sort of bummed me out.
5. Our new little kitten Pepper is getting along great now with all the other cats. I caught this sweet photo of her sleeping next to our oldest male cat, Harley the other night.
I tell you with 8 cats in the house now we sure go through a lot of cat food!

Have a fabulous weekend - I'm off to bake a cake now.
Great and funny photos, as always. I like the deers, the pictures are like from a fairytale...
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend
Wow that's a passel of cats!~ I'm glad she has been welcomed.
ReplyDeleteHello Ida, poor Coleen! The early start to the school day must be awful. I remember those days with my son getting on the school bus at 6:30am. Congrats having your deer photos published, that is awesome. They are pretty deers and great photos. Have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeletedozing kitties and dozing child- both are sweet images! experiments that explode- always a favorite with kids and the child-like adult!
ReplyDeleteLove the picture of Coleen sleeping in the chair. That getting up early can be exhausting :) The pictures of the deer are beautiful. Very cool having them published in the paper too bad they spelled your name wrong
ReplyDeleteYou are published EVERY WEEK! Tom The Backroads Traveller
ReplyDeleteI teach 2nd grade and I know how Colleen feels!!
ReplyDeleteCute photo of your daughter asleep after the first day of school! :-) The cats asleep is a sweet photo too. And I love the deer! Great shots! really beautiful animals. Too bad the paper spelled your name wrong!
ReplyDeleteBy now Harley's probably getting used to all the newcomers. It's good to see they're all getting along so well. Your newest sweetie sure is pretty. He looks like a cat we had years ago. His name was Big Cat.
ReplyDeleteVery nice photos. 8 cats- good for you :) The more the merrier- we have 15 :)
ReplyDeleteSweet pictures, every one. That first day of school involves emotional and physical stresses but Coleen knew just how to fix that :) So glad the cats are taking pleasure in each others' company!
ReplyDeleteYes, the first day of school can be tiring. So much to see and do and learn!
ReplyDeleteWith them spelling your name wrong can you just imagine how much more the media of any kind gets wrong? It's scary!!
Wishing you a wonderful weekend.
LOL that first shot...
ReplyDeleteI remember those days :)
Bumble Bee photo I like too.. cool capture..
ReplyDeleteI remember when I was a young teen coming home from school I was awfully tiered too...
Hugs
Great pictures, Ida. Coleen looks sweet sleeping in the chair. School takes a lot out of you!
ReplyDeleteThe deer are beautiful! Congratulations on the newspaper printing them. Sorry about your name, though. I used to do proofreading. Someone should hsve checked that.
George has taken over our house! The Girls all love him. Kittens have a way. I think it depends a lot on how you act, too. They get lots of love. ❤
What a super collection of photos, Ida. I love the deer ones. They're spectacular. Congratulations on being published. It's a sweet photo of Coleen sleeping. This back to school business is tough after the holidays. Emi is back next week and I am so not looking forward to it. Love the kitten photo too - what a sweetie. All the best for now, Bonny
ReplyDeleteColeen must have found it very hard to get up so early for school! Eight cats! Yikes, that IS a lot of food!
ReplyDeleteawesome shots!
ReplyDeleteGood for you getting the pics in the paper. Most papers go to pains to get the name right. I like the pic of the doe. She is really looking at you.
ReplyDeleteOur son had a sleep adjustment after school started as well.
Glad your new kitten is gaining qcceptance from the other cats.
8 cats~ you are brave. I hope they get along.
ReplyDeleteThere is something so appealing to me about deer. They seem to have no worries. And they do carry themselves with dignity! Just wonderful photos!! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteYou have posted some fun photos here. Love the one of the bumblebee. Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment. You don't really need e-mail notification when I post because I post every day. Feel free to come back often and leave comments.
ReplyDeleteColleen looks great in those deer pictures are awesome !!!!
ReplyDeleteOh that little kitten is so cute. I can't imagine having 8 cats!! We don't have any pets right now. congratulations for having your pictures put into the paper. Very exciting!
ReplyDeletethe most cats I have had is 4--and if I had had the last 4 before I had the first 4, it would never have happened again! I cannot imagine 8! I can't imagine the food and litter bill...much less all the work and the flea treatment! But then, my first cat named Cougar literally had at least a $2000 in him for first one thing and then another.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your photos being published. And they are pretty. Ahh yes the coke and mentos...nothing like it. Pepper and Harley are way too cute together.
ReplyDeleteIda, what great pictures! I will have to show my husband your photos of the deer. We see them almost daily at our house. We love watching them! Thanks for sharing! Blessings, Pam (everydayliving.me)
ReplyDeleteLovely photos!

I love your deer photos, even if they did spell your name wrong! My cat (who is missing at the moment) doesn't eat much cat food as she gorges on baby rabbits (they are a menace here) and mice and rats.
ReplyDeleteAll your furry friends look so cute. I only have 1 male cat and i wonder how it feels to live with 8 cats. I wish i could take a friend for my cat but our flat is barely enough.
ReplyDeleteGreat you sent in those deer pics! Let it roll off your shoulders, dear Ida - they misspell my name, and pronounce it the wrong way all the time. Great pic of your daughter asleep!
ReplyDeletepoor colleen...trying to get back into the swing of school is exhausting...i found dalton asleep on the floor one night this week...love the mentos pic! and the pic of the kitties is so sweet! wow, you deer photos are great! congrats on having them in the paper but bummer about the misprint...you'd think they'd be a bit better about things like spelling lol...thank you for linking ida! have a great day!
ReplyDeleteIt took me a minute to understand what I was seeing in the photo of Colleen and her friend... Must have been some explosion. We will have to try that some time.
