Drifting through life

Musical Monday I was introduced to Musical Monday by Delores who copied the meme from another site. I think it’s a fun way to show off some of the music we like and brighten up our Mondays at the same time.  I’ll be finding my clips on you tube , so will simply credit that site since there are often so many versions of everything and I wouldn’t want to accidentally credit the wrong artist. Today’s clip is: Mungo Jerry In the Summertime and the lyrics: not that you'd need them, you all know this, right?

Do you see that title? 300 Sunday Selections posts! That's a bit more than five and a half years. Welcome back to Sunday Selections! This once-a- week-meme was originally begun by Kim of Frog Ponds Rock, as a way to showcase some of the many photos we all take, but don't get around to showing on our blogs. The rules are very simple:- 1. post photos of your choice, old or new, under the Sunday Selections title 2. link back to me, River , somewhere in your post 3. leave me a comment so that I know you've joined in and can come over and see what you've posted. 4. hop on over to Elephant’s Child to see more of her wonderful photos.   I usually go with a theme for my Sunday Selections and this week I have another random selection. in the front section of the gardens here, fronting the main road is this stand of Acanthus, also known as Oyster Plant or Bear Claw, depending on who you asked. these are the flower spikes, let's get a clo

On Wednesdays, assorted people have been taking monthly turns at putting up a selection of words which is called “Words for Wednesday”. This month the meme continues here, at Elephant’s Child’s blog, with words supplied by Elephant’s Child in place of Jacqui, who is sadly unable to be with us.

Some of us put our creation in comments on the post, and others post on their own blog.   We would really like it if as many people as possible joined in with this fun meme. If you are posting on your own blog - let us know so that we can come along and read your masterpiece. It’s a fun challenge…why not join in? This week's words are: 1. noble 2. shine 3. expressive 4. charm 5. odd 6. bigge

Welcome back to Whimsical Wednesday!  The day for your googled giggle that gets you over the hump that is Wednesday and sliding down into the weekend. "Just because you're mad at someone, doesn't mean you stop loving them."  

Some of you may know Murr, you see her listed on my sidebar about once a week, as murrmurrs . Maybe you've clicked on that and read some of her hilarious posts. We've never met in real life and probably never will, but I enjoy her blog immensely and call her my friend. Murr Brewster is a bird watcher and when I saw this cartoon in the Sunday Paper, I knew I had to post it here for her. so here it is, just for you Murr.
