HAPPY SUNDAY EVERYONE - ODDS AND BODS - SUNDAY 11/2/24


I am not quite awake yet but I am getting there.  

How are you doing?


and now a message from Squirrel.


Me? I will always look for a field of sunflowers. I hope you will join me 🌻 I know we have all had our dark days.


I am having my one and only coffee of the day.


First word of the day.  Well, you will have to ask Gregg on this one!

Grumpy mug where are you? You need to make this mug smile. It looks like it has a bit of an attitude, ya think?


All I can say is, I would never drink these, but I would take lots of photos. 








Here's my dream cottage for today.


I would gladly live here if...


that sweet dog comes too.


Time for sleeps.


I just found this. How about a cute little cat vase. If you have some pennies put away or waiting for a gift from Santa or want to give someone a gift from Santa, you can buy this here. Or maybe you have a talented someone who could make something similar. I will ask my dear other half. Oh, I just did and he is still guffawing, because we both kind of look at a screw driver and say, what's that for? More than a slight exaggeration but I think you get my drift.


But now for some wise words.












Time for some fun with food.








Moo?


I found this very interesting. I have never tried any of them but will look into it next summer if needed, hopefully not needed. These natural remedies would be much better than the chemical ones. 


and you'll have to let me know if this works, but ask your doctor first! Again, hopefully not needed for any of us.

This would be real pretty to create in the garden.  It would take forever to collect all those stones, but maybe a smaller version?


Or this, definitely a smaller version for me but a wonderful work of gardening art. I think my garden menagerie would enjoy this.


Yowza!


Last but not least…as I am coming to the end of my post.


...and mine too.

Thanks for stopping by everyone, and may your day be full of sunshine.










(With thanks to Pinterest for the inspiration.)

  1. The food art is awesome, and way too pretty and realistic to eat. Love the gorgeous stone art!! I only know three of the above sayings. Love the sweet little cottage. They have somehow made it look much larger inside than I think it really is.

  8. I think that over the years I have seen apple cider vinegar touted as a remedy for just about anything. I confess to not being able to attest to its efficacy one way or the other.
