It's been some time since I've joined Kathy,
(You'll Shoot Your Eye Out) for her meme,
SONG-OGRAPHY so today I thought I would join in on the fun. The song selection today,
-Pocketful of Sunshine (Natasha Bedingfield).
There is certainly no sunshine here today and boy is it COLD outside so I went to my archieves and found this photo from early October that I think fits the song quite well.
I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine) A secret place (I got a love and I know that it's all mine) Take me away, a hiding place
The sun is on my side and takes me for a ride I smile up to the sky, I know I'll be alright The sun is on my side and takes me for a ride I smile up to the sky, I know I'll be alright
I'm thinking this guy listening to his "tunes" on a nice sunny October day certainly had a pocket full of sunshine and he made me smile.
This weeks prompts were: In a Row, Salty, Sweet, Sitting Down, and Just Because
Lets get started on this hunt:
IN A ROW:
Coleen and I stopped at the High School this week so I could take a picture of something else and then I spotted this out in the field and figured it would work great for the "In a Row" prompt. This is one of those things they use for football practice. I have no idea what they are called though.
SALTY: This one is a BIG stretch...
Tiny little flakes of salt or rather snow on Eric the cats head remind me of salt so that counts, right?
SWEET:
Coleen is a sweet little girl and her she is holding a very sweet lookiing turkey cookie. Which I might add she said was so hard (the cookie) that she ended up throwing it away after eating about half of it.
SITTING DOWN:
I snapped this shot of Helix sitting down in the snow this week. He doesn't seem to mind being out in the cold but then again that's all the life he's ever known as his owners don't bring him in out of the cold and no he's bascially on his own. We feed him and try to make sure there are blankets in our shed to help keep the outside kitties warm during the winter.
JUST BECAUSE:
I spotted this tree when I took Coleen to her piano lessons and had to snap a picture of it, "just because" it was so gorgeous.
So that's it for this week. If you want to join in the fun next week here are the prompts.
1. Most of my long time readers know that I am not a huge fan of winter or snow. So it comes as no surprise that I wasn't to thrilled with yesterdays snow fall. Coleen on the other hand loved it. Here she is this morning enjoying a little time outside before heading off to school.
2. A friend of mine sent me a link to where you can find out where all the gorgeous fall colors are in each of the states. While it's too late to visit these areas now the pictures are worth looking at and it gives you a reference for next year. Check it out here:
Here is a little of our own fall foliage and also one from today with the snow on them.
I think I prefer the warmer one for sure.
3. If you enjoy snow you might want to make some paper snowflakes to decorate you house. Here's a place for learning how to make paper snowflakes. http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Paper-Snowflake .
My mom's dog, Pixie enjoying a little romp out in the snow this morning.
4. It's now "Soup" weather and who doesn't like a nice hot bowl of soup on a cold and snowy day. We had this soup the other night and it's delicious. I alter the recipe though as we don't like that much tomato taste so instead I used Cream of Mushroom soup in place of the tomato. I also added some cabbage to the vegetable mix. - So here's a fun LINK to some silly resturant names you might enjoy.
5. Did you ever make snow icecream when you were a kid? I loved that stuff and would you believe there are actual recipes on how to make it.
Found this YouTubeVideo on making snow ice cream. Enjoy if you have freshly fallen snow.
Helix enjoying a stretch in the snow this morning. My entry for FELINE FRIDAY.
Also sharing this one of Eric the cat for FELINE ART
1. I just don't have enough time in the day to get everything done that I want to. Anyone else have that problem?
2. Snow is not my friend I mean...snow is beautiful!
3. If I could, I would move to a warmer climate in winter. I say that every winter but I've lived here all my life so I doubt I'd really go through with it if I could.
4. Melting snow makes me SMILE :o) - It's not melting that fast but in about a week it's suppose to be back up in the 40's and raining so it's not going to stick around that long.
See I really am trying to embrace winter weather with a more positive attitude. I still don't like it but hey you might as well try to find something positive about it because it's that time of year.
Linking up today for GOOD FENCE hosted by Theresa (The Run-a-round Ranch Report.) - Hope you are all warm and cozy where you are at today. It's a COLD one today with (shhhh, snow is on the way) here. I'm staying inside as much as possible. Snow and winter are not my friends.
Last week I went out and drove around for awhile looking for some new fences to photograph (planning ahead for those days when I can't get out).
Right down the street from us is a house with a nice wooden fence. What caught my eye wasn't the fence so much as what was behind it....
Just look at those Golden Ginkgo leaves cascading over the fence. Aren't they delightful.
Isn't this branch pretty....oh the fence isn't to bad either!
This branch still had some yellow and some green leaves on it.
Note these photos were taken on 11-6-2014 just one week ago. So this morning I walked down the street in our wonderful 20 degree weather with my camera and snapped this next photo to show you how much difference a week can make.
Yep all the leaves are gone now and that poor tree is bare but you can really see the top of the fence line now. My hands nearly froze off walking back home so I'm staying inside now and enjoying looking at all your fences.
