Bits and Pieces from the Week

Today when I was leaving a comment on Pixie's blog, the verification word that came after I pressed send was this...

Now, I know what I want to be when I grow up! I want to create word verifications!

Neighbor Mary called last week to tell me her family had a new edition. After wrestling babies from mama goats a few years ago, we were glad to know that the mama's could deliver all by themselves!

Did you see my Etsy sidebar on the right? While I was getting things organized to list on Etsy, I came across this vintage goody just in time for Mother's Day. Mother Mottos are so pretty! I'm not sure I would give this to my mother with that photograph in it, but I would have to leave it behind a picture of me and my mom! You can tell a boy picked this photo...For future references guys, choose a FLATTERING photo of your mom. Not one that shows off her fat rolls and wrinkled skirt (or are they skorts?)!

This morning, the sun hadn't risen yet. I could see the silhouettes of my leafless trees. By the time I grabbed my camera, the sun had come up more and the contrast wasn't as stark, but it was still pretty. The blob in the center of the photo is a squirrel nest. I can see it from my living room window but haven't caught a squirrel coming or going yet. Spring is coming, so babies will be coming, too.

What a great way to end a week! I have been submitting suggestions to Rachel's weekly contest to win a necklace pendant made by her. She gives you a picture that will be on one side and you provide the quote that will go on the other side. No surprise mine are usually smart-ass! I won! I won! I think I'll just sit by my mailbox and wait for it to arrive! I'm so lucky! Visit Rachel at Two Dog Pond to order your own!
