Can You Guess What I Found in the Yard

CarolDM @CarolDM (130662) • United States 8h

I am sure one or two of you will guess correctly about what I found in the yard yesterday. Guess what you think is in the photo. I will write later with the details and more photos. Very exciting find. The rain just started....

Fleur It certainly looks like some sort of nest - a squirrel? But it looks as though it's on the ground, has it fallen from somewhere or was it always there

Today Brings Back Lifetime Memories

CarolDM @CarolDM (130662) • United States 6h

Today is Mother's Day for many of us. A difficult day. But I am making the most from all of the memories I have. Losing my Mom at 14 left a hole in my heart. It remains forever. I have 14 years of memories to treasure. Dustin...

Leaky wheelbarrow

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (133698) • United States 6h

I have an old wheel barrow that I bought used a long time ago. It is metal and has rusted through in spots. Makes it perfect to be a planter. I often see them filled with petunias, mostly. I think mine will be an herb...

Maybe they're walking it here

BarBaraPrz @BarBaraPrz (30941) • St. Catharines, Ontario 3h

On April 21, I ordered some embroidery floss online, because apparently Michaels isn't an essential business and therefore closed. I have yet to receive my order, so I clicked on the tracking thing and saw that it shipped from...

JJ @myklj999 (56876) • Olney, Illinois 3h

(Begun 8 hours ago) - Great start to the day, wake up at 4 AM (which is extremely late for me) and found my Dad unresponsive on the bathroom floor. After spending 5-10 minutes trying to get a response I called an ambulance and he...

I’ve been truly blessed.

More precious that diamonds and rubies, more satisfying that ice cream or panna cotta, more needful that high heels or fortune cookies is intestinal well-being.

A Double Rainbow Yesterday

CarolDM @CarolDM (130662) • United States 7 May

After the thunderstorms right before sunset yesterday, there was a magical double rainbow. Snapped a few photos from the deck. Amazing how these rainbows are only visible for seconds to a couple of minutes. You have to be quick...

Loving Yourself And Others

Chellé Rostykus @Chellezhere (5302) • United States 6 May

For 48 years, the Doobie Brothers have been asking us, "without love, where would you be right now?" I believe that song "Long Train Runnin'" could be about sex drive. But I know that many hone in on that one line without a...

Fleur Glad you have found nice people in your complex and that the centre will reopen soon. I'm not quite sure I follow your point about when/where the virus might have spread. In most cases, nobody knows for sure unless there's some really obvious link such as a...

Have You Ever Wanted To Call In Dead?

Chellé Rostykus @Chellezhere (5302) • United States 7 May

At about 8:00 pm last night, I went downstairs to do my laundry. All was well until I went back into the laundry room to put my wet, clean clothes into the dryer. Immediately upon entering the room, I sensed that something burned....

Murder in the Care Home.

Fiacre Banks @xFiacre (9309) • Ireland 7 May

My father told me a few days ago that the staff in his Care Home had killed one of the residents, and that it was a terrible place. What happened was that the lady in the next room had died (from natural causes) during the...

Learning from documentaries

Simone @Janet357 (72060) 7 May

Fleur If I had time to watch TV, then yes, documentaries would be a favourite. The last that I watched was about a day in the 'life' of planet Earth, that was a couple of years ago. Unfortunately it isn't available to watch but you can read about it!

Arabian horses strut their stuff

Judy Evans @JudyEv (246196) • Bunbury, Australia 4 May

The Arabian horse breed is arguably one of the most beautiful with its concave profile and proud carriage. In 2018, during the National Endurance Ride Championships, I was lucky enough to go on a tour of an Arab stud. Because of...

Would You Like To Be The Mama Of 9 Babies?

Marlina @marlina (122787) • Canada 6 May

I just came across this Big News: A Malian woman has given birth by ceasarean today to 9 babies. Hard to believe but it really happened. 5 girls and 4 boys: enough to make a team. They are called "nonuplets" I certainly would...

Fleur I certainly don't envy her! I wonder whether she will have more children in future? Obviously she probably won't have even thought of that yet! But I can't imagine dealing with nine, I think that is officially torture under the UN rules, unless they all sleep...

The owner wants this photo

Judy Evans @JudyEv (246196) • Bunbury, Australia 6 May

A food I really like

Anne Marie Guyer @LeaPea2417 (30883) • Toccoa, Georgia 6 May

I just had a big salad for dinner. I topped it with artichoke hearts. They are so tasty. I just realized that artichoke hearts are my new favorite food. Do you like artichoke hearts? What is your recent food fad?

Fleur Little One, who is very fussy about vegetables, has decided that artichokes are delicious! Consequently any artichokes that enter the house tend to get eaten by her, since she otherwise has a rather limited choice!
