Warm Heart Wednesday & Willy Nilly Friday Five

Hello & Welcome!

Today I am joining in on a brand new Meme called: Warm Heart Wednesday hosted by Jenny Matlock and also joining Tanya for Willy Nilly Friday Five.

 

WARM HEART WEDNESDAY - Please visit Jenny's blog and check this meme out.

Yesterday my Granddaughter Coleen surprised us (well I sort of knew about part of the surprise since she told me she was doing it for her Grandpa) by making us breakfast.  -  She got up at 5:00 am so she would be awake before her Grandpa got up.  He normally fixes her breakfast in the morning before she goes to school.  I don't get up until around 7:00. 

She made up this Menu Board of various choices for us to pick.  I had Granola Cereal, A Hard Boiled Egg & Orange Juice.  Grandpa picked Cereal and a Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwich.  She warms my heart by being such a thoughtful and sweet child.

Now let's join in for some WILLY NILLY FRIDAY FIVE FUN


1.  My mom's next door neighbor has an Apple Tree in their yard.  All summer long I watched this one apple that just kept hanging on the tree until it shriveled up into a very flat looking apple.  We had very high winds this week and I decided to check and see if that apple was still there.....

"Hanging On."

Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go. - William Feather.

2.  I've enjoy finding some unusual stuff like that apple and the leaves below this week to photograph.  Sometimes those little unexpected and often over looked items can really be interesting and beautiful.

"Caught"

 

Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving.  What you have caught on film is captured forever...it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything. - Aaron Siskind.

 



 

3.  Sometimes you find life can be so fun when you capture moments like this:

 

"Daring."

 

All serious daring starts from within. - Eudora Welty.

 

4.  Or this....

"Intent"

Be intent upon the perfection of the present day. - William Law

 

Just so you know, Ghost did not get that squireel but boy was that squirrel taunting him.

 

5.  I love to laugh and Coleen is really good at making me laugh.  Check this out...She'll be embarrassed by this but hey she's the one who decided to do it.

 

"Laughter"

 

A day without laughter is a day wasted. - Charlie Chaplin.

Be sure to laugh today (if you haven't already) as I would hate for your day to be wasted.

 

Have a great weekend.

 

 





Scavenger Hunt Sunday - March 3, 2013

Welcome!  It's time to join in on the fun of Scavenger Hunt Sunday.  You know the drill if you've been by for the hunt at some point.  If not the idea is that we are give 5 prompts that we take pictures of and then post them on Sunday on Ashley's blog, Ramblings and Photos.

This weeks prompts were colors:  Red, Orange, Yellow, Green & Blue.

RED:

Coleen asked me to hold on to her apple while she was swinging and I set it down on the bench.  I thought the RED of the apple looked great on the RED bench that I was sitting on.  Originally I was going to use a picture of the playground equipment that was red and white but I think I'll save that for another time.

                                                                                                                                    
ORANGE: 

Not much ORANGE left on these old Chinese lantern plants but there's just enough to qualify them for the prompt.

YELLOW:

My YELLOW daffodils are starting to bloom!  Yeah, spring is on the way!!!

GREEN:  Couldn't make up my mind on this prompts so you get 2 photos.

The neighbors cat, Fluffy (now known as Fluffy the Floozy, it's a long story) has lovely GREEN eyes.

Coleen in her GREEN shirt, GREEN jacket and a lot of GREEN leaves and moss.

BLUE:  This one is an Archived photo and not because I couldn't find anything blue to take a picture of.  I took this last summer and just hadn't had a chance to post and it's just to pretty not to share.

I spotted these gorgeous BLUE Morning Glory flowers one day on the way home from the library.  I had to stop and take a picture of them.  There was an entire cascade of these lovely blue flowers but I love this close-up shot of them.

Have a great week and don't forget to check out the other particpants enteries.
