Welcome June...!!! :-)

Susan Branch's Mini Calendar, make a lovely way to Welcome June...  :-)

Another gadget!  Which "Uncle A." has been wanting.  :-)  A French Press for a smaller afternoon cup of coffee.  We often watch "As Time Goes By," and they are always making coffee with a French Press.  So he wanted one, too.  -grin-   That's just the coffee cup, which comes with our dishes.  He wanted a different one, for his afternoon coffee, so we found one this morning.  We'll see how it "fits."  

Yes, we lead a very quiet life...  -gigggles-  When we can get *hepped-up* about Kitchen Gadgets!

When one can only eat Goat Cheese, one keeps looking for new and different kinds of it.  Found this Maple Chèvre.  Nice...  And there is also Goat Cheddar Cheese to be found.  That's got a *punch* to it!!!! 

Just some bubbles in the Bird Bath Fountain Pond, on a very hot afternoon...

And last but not least.....

Whoooo-hoooooo!  According to park rangers in New South Wales, Australia, dozens of giant, fluorescent pink slugs have been popping up on a mountaintop there.

Click here, to read!!!

I'm not a slug lover but!!!  Wow!  What a gorgeous addition to a garden?!?  -giggggle-

 

Weekend~Books~"Size"~TV~NO Spoilers Though

♥

Showing the pretty geode again.  This time with pencil/hand, to better show size.  I always forget to do this!!!  Have something (whose size is recognizable) in pictures of objects.  Must remember!!!  :-)

The "Honey Man" at the Sat. Farmer's Market.  I figured it is time, to start taking a daily spoon full of locally produced Honey again...  To try to ward off some of the coming effects, of Spring Time Allergies.

This is the first time we have been to the Winter Farmer's Market.  It is held in a grade school and there is plenty of place to spread out, in the gym (above) and in the entrance hall.

There were lots of veggies...  But...  Fresh ones are not being grown locally, in winter.  And a place like "Gomez Veggie Ville" does not sound very NE Local to me.  ,-)    But..........   Whatever...

They even had live music, on the stage.  :-)

After having soooooooo much funnnnnnn, reading (click-->) "The Wee Free Men,"  I was not having any luck, finding another book.  -sigh-  I didn't enjoy the Cozy Witch-y book, I got out of the library.  And other Cozy Mysteries, has sounded good, but were soooooo slowwwwwwwwww....  I gave up on all of them.  So took a bunch of *non-winners* back, and got some more.

Actually, "A Witch In Time" is my own.  I really enjoyed this series by Madelyn Alt!  But this one was not in the library system.  ?????  So I got it from Amazon/New/Used/Books.  After I finish this one, the next in the series IS in my library system.  (But not the last, in the series...)  Grrrrrr......  After following this heroine for 7 or so books, I MUST find out how her *story* ties up!!!!!!  :-)  Will do another Search for the last book, when I'm done with ones I can get.

Have you heard of "The Blue Zones"?  Another one of those studies, trying to find the Longevity Secrets, of pockets of very long lived people, around the world.  Such books should be read, by young people!  Who have time (ahead of them) to take better care of their bodies.  ,-)  But since "Quality Of Life" is part of the premise, not just living many years....  Seems anyone might find something of use, in them....

For instance, how to better avoid gastro issues.  Yikes, betcha' most any Dear Reader could use some info, on that wide spread and painful problem....     

Just a very green looking shadow pic...   :-))))))))))

No Spoilers!!!

But whooooo-hoooooooo, we are enjoying the plot twists and turns, on "Once Upon A Time" on tv!!!!!   They make me worried.  Then they make me glad.  Then...  I don't know exactly where they are going.  If you watch...  Are you having fun, with the present story line too??????

No Spoilers please.  Unless you say you are commenting a SPOILER...!!!!!!!!!!!

Reflections... And rambling...

Can you see the little bird, in the center of the picture?  He is at the edge of the pool cover.  The pics are not clear, because I had to take them quickly.....  Through a window and a screen...  And with it raining outside.   Excuses, I know.

Look at this pic.  Can you make out the blurrrrry pic of the little bird, taking a bird bath?  In the water, in the middle of the picture?     It's being so warm, that there is no ice.  The birdies are taking advantage of this, and coming in to flutter their wings and take bird baths.  So cute!!!

Sun reflecting off of the sparkly decorations, onto the window glass, and window dividers.  Just for fun pic.

Night time reflections, in a couple of old mirrors, in the Hearth Room...   Mmmmm...  Note the *Junk On Chairs* in the Kitchen Eating Area.  ,-))))   SEEEEEEEE!!!  I don't always crop out the *stuff* showing, in my pics!!!!!!!!!!!!   Seeeeeeeee!!!  -giggggles-

Yet another sun-reflections picture...

Followed by a night time reflection...  Same Kitchen window....   But reflecting my FAUX- Tiffany-Lamp, on the old table in the Hearth Room.  

People in town, are putting up Christmas Decorations on the outside of their houses, as well as inside.  But the weather is warm and cloudy and rainy...   Not making for pretty ambiance, for taking pics of this.   -pout-  Oh well, eventually it will cool down and we'll get more snow flurries.

Anyone still watching "Once Upon A Time"?  REMEMBER, you need to put SPOILER Warning in front of comments about the show.  Not everyone is watching the series live, on tv.   Some are renting/watching the First Season.   And we don't want to "spoil" the story line, for them.....  :-)

♥ "Feeling better..." Plus a Spoiler...

THE  CAST...
...Which I saw when I went over to see him.  "Pop" had been there before and J. asked for the newspaper Sports pages from our 2 papers.  His house doesn't get any newspaper delivered.  So I brought the papers over to him, and took a couple of pics, and chatted for a while.  Oh how I wish I could show the pic, with his adorable face.  But......  Him being only 12.......   I don't show recognizable pics....

He said he is feeling better though... 

Rain yesterday...  Sun today/Tues....   Then clouds today/Tues....

Through Autumn's woodlands brown..."

Then sun again...

-grin-  'Tis the season...  For ghost tours.  And we have plenty of old places, with unique history attached...

Have you Dear Reader, ever been on  a "Ghost Tour"?  :-)  I haven't, but I'd love to!!!

 No, that lovely picture above,  is not mine.  The source is under it.  I just wanted something to illustrate "delicate."

I keep getting itching and irritation.  And have to use my various *creams and potions* to get rid of them.   But they seem more frequent.  ~~~~~~~  Then I *brilliantly* remembered that back when I went to a doc, for this.... his advice was;  "Don't use any washing liquids, with any additives in them...  Like fragrance and etc."  So I didn't.

But then, I have developed a *love affair* with CLOROX.  I love it.  I put it in every wash, but my really 'darks.'  Ahemmmmm....   That is probably part of my problem.  Duhh me.  So my *love affair* with CLOROX is over.  -pout- 

(Wow!  The above...  Is that *reaching*, to find something to blog about, or what?????  -gigggles-
If any blogger worries about not having kind-of-important stuff to blog about...  Let them just think of this post!!!!  -chuckle-  If I *have the cheek* to blog about itches/irritations, they should NEVER worry about the *importance* of their blogging topics!!!!!!)
