HELLO LABOR DAY | FIRST MONDAY IN SEPTEMBER + HAPPY READERS FROM CHERYL CLARSON Check out these delightful nuggets I picked for today. I think the Google Map pic showing the cat might be my favorite in that picture line-up. The giant articulating dogs are just soooo soooo cool.  Wish I could see that in person.  Look at all the "players" it takes to operate those giant dogs. Oh, Blockbuster and mom and pop video stores - how I miss you!  Cute little snails take us on a few little memory lane trips. After this hot summer - I definitely have dry patches that I'm gonna plant some grass seed and now I have the notes on how to do it.  So do you.

The last weekend in August 2023. I'm not gonna lie - I am not sad about it being the last weekend of August.  Gosh it's been screaming hot here (everywhere, I understand) and I feel like we've been riding a bucking horse straight outta the shoot and hanging on for the buzzer (the buzzer meaning fall is just right over there.  Hang on!). I had a super fun Saturday.  Went to Autonomous Society's one year celebration mark.  Check them out here.

Greetings! Monday and also the last day of July.  August will be arriving tomorrow. I'm looking forward to one month from tomorrow -- September -- meaning fall is on its way and cooler temps! Shouldn't wish time passing a whole month fast.  I'm guilty.  Because I do.  Ha Found this dozen for today.  Hope you enjoy.  I sure think they're super fun! Mayonnaise or Miracle Whip?  Me?  I'm a fan of mayonnaise.

Hello wondrous readers! How was your weekend?  All good here, for sure.  More tasks accomplished - meaning - things that are on my To Do List - but not necessarily things I roll out of bed for and jump for joy doing.

Greetings happy Readers - How was your week?  'Twas quite warm here.  And wet.  Rain showers on a daily basis in late afternoon. I got numerous tasks accomplished over the weekend which always feels good. One biggie was pulling out and removing a very large root ball of what was once a gorgeous bamboo plant that grew (very isolated) in a galvenized container on my back deck. I think the freeze was just too much for it - RIP. So now that the root ball is gone - I can home something else large and fun in the cool horse trough planter. ** Interesting - none of the nurseries around here carry bamboo any more.  I totally get why.  But I'd sure like to plant another bamboo in the container.  It was cool and tall and floaty. ** Presenting the 12 fun + funny + great recipe finds + fascinating picks for today. The Boston Typewriter Orchestra performance is just SO. MUCH. FUN. Candid Camera's, "You've been Downgraded" is hilarious.
