Today's Fun Friday Photo really cracks me up. My daughter took this while doing a workaway on a South African farm. It shows the farm animals taking shelter during a rainstorm. When I professed surprise that farm animals couldn't stand a little rain, she explained it was a heavy downpour. The funniest parts, if you … Continue reading Fun Photo Friday: Rainy Day on the Farm
It's official! Santa approves of Horseshoes and Hand Grenades, and my new novel is going on the list of gifts for the Nice people. Maybe he should also put it on the list of gift ideas for Not-So-Nice people who need to learn what is acceptable behavior and what is harassment... #MeToo #TimesUp #HAHG #AlmostCounts
This week's Fun Friday Photo comes courtesy of Tracy Buchanan. Fire safety concerns aside, what a great idea! Books come in all dimensions, which can be a pain when you're organizing your bookshelf. But those differences recede into the background when you use the books to build a Christmas tree. And, much like a real … Continue reading Fun Photo Friday: Christmas Tree of Books
(All the credit for this amazing photo and story goes to Edinburgh Live.) This Friday's Fun Photo shows members of the Ladies' Scottish Climbing Club wearing--well, as you can see--the immensely practical and athletic clothing worn by all women in the 1900s...as they climb a rock face. See that rope around their waists? That was … Continue reading Fun Photo Friday: Badass Female Scottish 1900s Rock Climbers
Cows are pretty cute if you ask me, and of course calves are definitely cute, like all baby animals. But these Scottish Highland Cattle take the cake for cute baby cows. The pictures speak for themselves. After her boyfriend Alex, Sadie’s favorite person is her Belgian Shepherd Kato, who appears in all 3 Bit Players … Continue reading Fun Photo Friday: Scottish Highland Calves
Today's Fun Photo Friday feature takes us to Lake Atitlan in Guatemala, where my daughter is volunteering at a paddleboarding company. Lake Atitlan is a volcanic lake in the Western Highlands of Guatemala. I love this photo because (a) it's of my daughter, (b) it has a dog, and (c) the colors are just amazing. The … Continue reading Fun Photo Friday: Guatemalan Paddleboard
Promotion of Horseshoes and Hand Grenades began in earnest this week, but I need to take a quick break for Fun Photo Friday. Today's post is a video of a horse/actor whose specialty is playing dead. Very funny! https://www.facebook.com/frasisco.zalar.9/videos/173767363758806/UzpfSTEwMDAwMDE0NTEzMTMyODozMDM5NDQxODkyNzM3Mjg1/
For today's fun photo (actually, a video), we travel to an Australian beach, where I was lucky enough to have a stroll with my daughter. https://youtu.be/5affiZAJ_To Listen to the sounds in the snippet of a video. What sounds like mice squeaking is actually the sand! We were so enthralled with the beach talking to us … Continue reading Fun Photo Friday: Squeaky Sand
Camels are amazing, virtually sandstorm-proof animals. Three sets of eyelids and two rows of eyelashes keep sand out of their eyes, and nostrils that shut entirely keep sand out of their noses. Fascinating statistics about camels abound. They can run up to 40 miles (64 kilometers) per hour, which is as fast as a racehorse, … Continue reading Fun Photo Friday: How to Mount a Camel
I’m sure no one will think me biased if I say that Korra, my Border Collie/German Shepherd mixed-breed dog, is the cutest mutt in the world. Possibly the cutest mutt ever. I know there are plenty of beautiful and adorable mixed-breed dogs out there. I have had others besides Korra. But this dog has so … Continue reading Fun Photo Friday: Cute Parts of Korra
