Here's a little chicken-related food for thought...or should I say "chicken feed".... 🙂 (Thanks to Friendly Farm in Dublin, NH, which displays this sign in their chicken coop.)
Fun Friday Photo: Chicken Feed for Thought
Book Lovers Soaps
I don't usually talk about non-book products here, but this is too good not to share. You know those people who love books so much they would bathe in them if they could? Or maybe they just read in the bathtub? (Guilty.) I recently came across the perfect gift for those people -- actual bars … Continue reading Book Lovers Soaps
Fun Friday Photo: Animal Gang
Time to get back into Fun Friday Photos! Life is too short not to celebrate and share funny bits. My regular followers know animals are a common theme for me. So today's Fun Friday Photo is animal-themed. I call it the "Animal Gang". I'm guessing that in this animal gang, the llama and the Scotch … Continue reading Fun Friday Photo: Animal Gang
Fun Friday Photo: Losing People
"Losing people" is a fun topic? In this case of this fun Friday photo, yep! Loss is disconcerting at best, tragic at worst. Rarely welcomed. So as a fan of black humor to help us through difficult times, I really enjoyed this meme. Hope you do, too. It comes courtesy of Nature Blows My Mind … Continue reading Fun Friday Photo: Losing People
May I Pinch Your Seat? Differences Between American & British English
Allow me to lay out a story of two English languages, which will—I promise—culminate with a funny story about the phrase, “May I pinch your seat?” My editor at TouchPoint Press for my last novel Horseshoes and Hand Grenades was the talented and delightful Kimberly Carlisle Coghlan. She recently re-shared this funny post on “Being … Continue reading May I Pinch Your Seat? Differences Between American & British English
Fun Friday Photo: Comma Love
Today's laugh comes from Reader's Digest and is something authors, social media users and pretty much anyone who writes can relate to! 🙂 If you didn't love commas before, you might after thinking about this. Of course, for professional writers, commas are a necessary evil, a wondrous organizer of thought, a typo waiting to happen, … Continue reading Fun Friday Photo: Comma Love
Fun Friday Photo: Frozen Waves
If you've ever wondered what frozen waves look like, here you go. Today's Fun Photo Friday features a shot I took of our lake recently. The edges of the pond had frozen, but the interior--as you can see in the photo--had not. Then, we had an extremely windy day--not uncommon around here--and the whitecaps and … Continue reading Fun Friday Photo: Frozen Waves
Fun Friday Photo: Book Hangover
Today's fun Friday photo on book hangovers comes from EpicReads.com, via author Lizzie Chantree. This follows on very naturally from my Nov. 28 post in which I agreed with blogger Sarah G's comment about diving back into books you're already finished. Sound familiar, anyone? 🙂
Fun Friday Photo: The Joy of Reading
Thanks to fellow author Jane Risdon for this fun Friday photo on the joy of reading. I unapologetically borrowed this after seeing it on her Facebook page. And thanks and kudos to the artist, Guada. If this doesn't sum up the power of a book to transport us from everyday doldrums to somewhere fantastical, historical, … Continue reading Fun Friday Photo: The Joy of Reading
Fun Photo Friday: Puppy Time!
It's been far too long since I've shared an animal image for Fun Photo Friday. So welcome to Puppy Time! This adorable guy was at the local vet when I took my dog Korra in for her annual exam. The owner was struggling to fill out paperwork while holding the German Shepherd/Husky mix, so I … Continue reading Fun Photo Friday: Puppy Time!
