ODDS AND BODS FOR JULY 2025

For a change I thought I would start off with a little humor and positivity. My recipe post will be tomorrow.

Well, as many of you know by now, I got through a big birthday recently, but I was well prepared, and I had a lot of help.

When the world seems to be closing in, never harden your heart, do good, give someone a kind word and remember, turn that frown upside down. I know, I know, cheesy and corny though that phrase may be, and you want to throw a shoe at me, but I want to tell you something on…

because we all need a little breathing space. Let’s go out and find something pretty to look at. We all need a change of scenery, even if it’s just stepping outside your back door, looking at some flowers and listening to the birds in the trees.

These wise owls know this. Step outside!

Time for the cottage of my dreams.

Or this one and yay, it comes wih chickens! There’s Henrietta and Clementine and Snowball and Slippers and Abrahen Lincoln and Amelia Egghart and Maud and Fluffy Topknot, and I think Cluck Kent just flew up, up and away. "It’s a bird, it’s a plane, no it’s a …"  

Cluck doesn’t know the excitement he just caused! 

Well, look at this, I even get a 'she-cave' in my dream world.

Here’s another.  I could happily live here  

and let’s enjoy a lively little poem. I won't tell her I am still in my PJ's.

And now it's time to say...

and…

Thanks for looking and enjoy your day.
