Willy-Nilly Friday Five, Cats & Captions, Six Words & some Fill-In Fun.

Joining several memes here today. (Feline Friday, Follow Friday For Fill In Fun, Six Word Friday, Willy Nilly Friday FivePlease read the whole post to find the meme your are looking for.





Happy Friday! - It made me feel happy to know that Tanya (Around Roanoke) was back this week for Willy-Nilly Friday Five.


So let's get started....


1.  While out and about on one of our walks Coleen & I spotted this man with his dog delivering the newspaper.  - I asked him if I could take their photo and he said yes.  I wish I could recall what his name & his dog's name are but the memory isn't what it use to be.  I just thought it was fun that he took his dog along to deliver the paper.

2. My mom & I went for a short walk around the block earlier this week.  On the way I spotted some Shaggy Mane Mushrooms in a neighbor's flower bed.  Thankfully she only lives 2 houses from us so I was able to go back and get the camera to snap a picture.  These are pretty tasty mushrooms.

 

3. We woke up to this on Tuesday.  Thank goodness it was only on the foothills and higher elevations of the mountains.  I drove out in the afternoon to get this shot.  I love how it shows the green fields and the snow covered mountains together.  Plus apparently someone is building a new home there in the valley.

 

 

4.  My hubby has the weirdest sense of humor.  I discovered something on the kitchen counter the other morning.  Due to bad lighting I took it outside to get a better photograph.  So what did I find?.....

 

 A Yam that had sprouted on the counter.  He got artistic with it.  Speaking of artistic....Check out this artist and what he does with a typewriter.

Now that is amazing!


5.  It's time for my weekly feature I'm calling Caption This.

Before I show this weeks photo here is last weeks photo with the winning caption contributed by Theresa (aka TexWiseGirl) from The Run-a-round Ranch Report.

Thanks Theresa for playing along.

Here is this weeks photo:  Please play along and have fun with this.  You have until midnight PST on Thursday the 23rd to leave a caption for this photo.

So for Feline Friday and Six Word Friday (This weeks word was, Collect) I give you this photo:

The statements:

1. If I _______________I’d change ____________
2. I’d rather __________ some where than ___________
3. Seeing_____ makes me_______.
4. Could you still______ after______

My Answers:

1.  If I could turn back time I'd change probably nothing because God has had a purpose for everything that has happened in my life.
So that's it for this week. I hope you've enjoyed stopping by.

2.  I'd rather read a good book somewhere than a boring book anywhere.

3.  Seeing flowers in spring makes me happy and tired as I have to start yard work to keep them looking nice.

4.  Could you still eat something after it made you sick once?  My hubby won't eat fudge after eating a lot of it as a kid and getting sick on it.

That's it for today. I hope you've enjoyed all the fun and will visit each of the memes to check out the other participants.

Willy Nilly Friday 5 - Nov. 7, 2014

 



Hi!  -  It's Friday and that means it's time for a little,
WILLY-NILLY FRIDAY FIVE hosted by Tanya at

Around Roanoke.

 

 

 

 

1.  With all the rain we've had the last couple of weeks and then some warm days lots of various "fungi" have been popping up all over the place.  I spotted this one growing sideways in my mom's yard.

 

Check out this link (Fungal Jungal) to learn more about mushrooms.  I've always thought these were "toad stools" but apparently that's just a name people have given any fungi that they think is poisionous or non-edible.

 

2.  Coleen and I spotted this colorful rooster in a yard one day so we stopped and asked if we could take a picture of it.  So how about some other chickens you might like.  Check this one out (I think it's cool). 

 

 

Speaking of cool while looking for more chicken related stuff I stumbled upon this web site showing sculptures made out of Willow Branches.  There is a chicken one there too.  Be sure to check it out as these are so awesome.

 

3.  It's time for Black and White vs. Colored.  Which version do you prefer.  I happened upon this house on a walk and thought the staircase looked interesting so I photographed it.

 

 

 

4.  Tropical plants fascinate me. Coleen and I spotted these in someone's yard while out on a walk just a few houses away from the home above.

 

I think it would be fun to grow some tropical plants.  Check out this neat website.  It even has some games for kids to play and learn about tropical plants.

 

5.  Forgot to post pictures of Coleen from the Pumpkin patch before Halloween so will share this one now.  She's been watching a "weird" but cute little cartoon series all week called, Over The Garden Wall.   We missed last nights episode and she had a "mini-melt down" until Grandma saved the day and found the episode on the Internet so we watched it.  Check out the cartoon and see what you think.

 

 

Bonus photo (following Tom - The Backroads Traveller) because 5 just isn't enough (the extra one for my BW/Color) doesn't count.)

 

 

This is a building in town that I just had to photograph yesterday while the weather was still nice and it wasn't raining.  Will share more of the photos I took next week.  Colorful isn't it!
