Sunday Selections # 812

Image
 Long ago, Kim of Frog Ponds Rock, (who no longer blogs), dreamed up a meme called Sunday Selections.  A place where those who were willing could put up photos they wanted to share, new, old, good, bad or indifferent, any photos you please.  Nothing rude or vulgar though. And we don't mind at all if other bloggers care to join us. In memory of Elephant's Child, the meme is now continued by myself and a few others. Andrew is one.  Messymimi is another. Drop in to their blogs and have a look. Wisewebwoman has also been joining us occasionally. passing a stand of geraniums a few months ago I noticed several leaves were tinged red and pink this one shows the green veins through the pink as does the next bush along, the one in the lower right corner is almost the smoky rose of Charlotte's colour of the month. closer to home this shiny leaved bush is growing through a fence, my phone app tells me it is dogwood and I shamelessly picked a sprig which now lives in a jar o...

Wednesday's Words on a Friday

 The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles. Sadly, Delores has now closed her blog forever due to other problems. The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind. If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along to read it and add a few encouraging words. This month the words/prompts are supplied by Sean Jeating and can be found here This week's words/prompts are: 1.contemporaries  2.easily  3.life  4.met  5.never and/or: 1.one  2.say  3.sentence  4.who  5.within Here is my story, continuing from last week: "Guess I’ll have to make do with whatever we have brought with us,” thought Alan as the catch was put into an esky with ice and carried away. Turning to one of the older fishermen, he sat down beside him and asked, “how long have you and your mates been ...

Charlotte's colour of the month is Smoky Rose: which looks to me a bit like milk chocolate pudding Beginning today with this month's calendar pages: Isn't he magnificent in his top hat? drawing #1 #2 and #3 sent by "no-one" this cute little display under a tree "no-one" also gave me this cute little llama to take to the twins, but Astra has claimed it for herself "a fluffy little pony just my size,...

She's okay!

 I emailed jabblog (Janice) a few days ago to ask if she is okay as several of us were concerned that she had not updated her blog in a while.  I received this reply yesterday: Dear Elsie,  My apologies for my absence. Thank you so much for your concern. All is well here; I'm just rather busy and finding it difficult to pick up blogging again. I keep trying and failing, but hope to get going again soon. Breathless pauses all around . . . ;-) Hope all is well with you and yours.  Janice She's okay!! 😀😀👍👏
