The first thing that caught my eye were a bunch of teeny little mushrooms. To give you an idea of their size, that is a nickel laying there among them. Dang, the elves that live under those toadstools must be awfully short. . . (grin). I just had to take a picture and post it here on my blog:
Then a little further on I saw some more. You have to look carefully to see them hiding among the leaves:
Then not much further there was a stump with all kinds of thing going on. Different kinds of fungi and some sawdust from something boring into it:
Then I got closer and took a picture of this strange looking fungus:
It just goes to prove the old saying that there is fungus among us.
This next picture is of a mushroom that is shaped like an egg:
And the last fungus picture shows a mushroom in full bloom:
Of course there were wild flowers along the driveway, also.
A yellow one:
And blue ones:
And of course a good morning glory to you:
I love the diverse and beautiful blooms of nature, whether fungus or flowers. Hope these pictures brightened your day. They sure did brighten my day. Now, you all have a great day, you hear?
It was a beautiful day. Just the right temperature with lots of sunshine and a slight breeze. I could take a few more days like today, cool in the morning. It is 66 degrees right now (7:52 pm) and only got up into the 70's this afternoon. And to top it off, we had a very pretty sunset. Here are some pictures of it for you to enjoy:
I wanted to share my sunset with all of you, my blogger friends. Now have a great evening, you hear?
Cold and damp weather blew in here and the high today was only in the low 70's and it got down in the low 50's over night. The rain that we have been seeing the last couple of days has let up, but we got our share for sure. It wasn't a torrential down pour but a steady rain over a long period of time. I would say that the drought has been broken for sure.
On another subject, I have been wondering about words. The English language has many strange words, meanings, and rules. For instance, some words that are spelled the same, pronounced the same, but mean different things (Homonyms), like:
Bark, on a tree
Bark, what a dog does.
There are words that are spelled the same but are pronounced different and have different meanings (Heteronym), like:
Bass, the fish I like to catch
Bass, the low part of the music.
Wind, air movement
Wind, wind up a clock, etc.
Lead, meaning the heavy, soft metal
Lead, meaning to go first and the rest will follow. (He will lead them out of the woods.)
Then there are words that are spelled different, pronounced different, but mean the same (Synonym), like:
Assume and presume, to believe something before it happens.
There are a lot more I could post but I am going to post this now, since I didn't post anything yesterday. Now, you all have a great day, you hear?
I was laying in bed last night and just before I fell asleep, I got thinking about my blog. I came up with a real great idea!! I was so excited it was hard to get to sleep. But guess what? When I woke up this morning, I remembered having a great idea but as hard as I tried, I just could not remember what it was. Dang!! So, I thought I would put off writing my blog until this evening, hoping it would pop back into my memory.
Well, it didn't. So, I have really don't have a subject for today. Maybe tonight I will lay a pad and pencil beside my bed, or not. Since I lost my great idea, I guess I will just say: You all have a great day, you hear?
On our way to an appointment yesterday, I stopped by the computer fix-it shop and picked up my laptop. It seems to be working great and it even took a full charge. The technician told me to be extra gentle with it, since there is only one bracket left to hold the power plug in place.
The problem is my rocker/recliner. Yes, you heard me right. I sit here in it rocking and typing and reading blogs, etc. When I plug in the charger wire, sometimes it bumps up against the arm of the chair. This bumping bent the plug and eventually broke it. I will have to be more careful when charging, since I will still be sitting in "my" chair. I could sit elsewhere, like on the couch, but the couch doesn't rock. OK, I admit, I am spoiled. I want my cake and want to eat it, too. That means that I will continue sitting and rocking in my rocker while I am using the computer or watching TV or reading. I am too old a dog to teach new tricks.
I got my tablet out and tried to get on line but I couldn't remember the pass-words. I tried and tried and tried, but it will not work. That is why I seemed to have disappeared from the blogger world, but like Jack Nicholson's famous saying in The Shining, "Honey, I'm home". Well, I am back, too.
Now, you all have a great day, you hear?
Have you ever been shopping and taken notice of all the different kinds of tote bags or shopping bags or what ever you call them, that people carry? I decided to go search the internet for some unusual bags. I found four that I have posted below.
This first one is suppose to be a cupcake. I don't think that I would carry this one but you women out there may be interested. It would go with your outfit that you wear to birthday parties, etc. Looks almost good enough to eat:
How about one for that active person who just loves to exercise by jumping rope? As you notice that the ones on the left show a gal and the ones on the right show a guy. The jump rope is the carrying handle and it looks right while just sitting there or when someone is carrying it.
This one is called "Nail biter?", but it looks to me like that gal is taking a bite of much more than just nails. . . (grin).
Now this is my kind of bag. I like it, especially if there is a gun inside it, too.
OK, that is it for today. Now you all have a great day, you hear?
I am not saying that there are alien life forms living out there in the universe somewhere. But then, I am not saying there isn't. The universe is a very huge place and life could have taken a foothold in other places than our Earth. There have been signals (one was nicknamed the "Wow" signal) received that have not been explained, but neither have they been heard again.
I was reading an internet article (http://bestpictureblog.com/20-mind-blowing-facts-about-aliens/15/) that was interesting and then I came to number 15 about Napoleon Bonaparte. What it said blew my mind. He claimed that he had been abducted by aliens. You know, he was missing back in July of 1794 for several days and could have been abducted. Then in modern times, "scientists found a tiny foreign object embedded within the skeletal remains of Napoleon and announced the thing to be a micro chip." I copied the exact words from the web page I listed above so that you would know it wasn't just me writing it. It was the discovery of the micro chip that blew my mind.
Does anyone out there have another explanation of it being there? If so, please tell us your theory. Now, keep those micro chips out of your heads and have a really great day, you hear?
