Well, the first thing I thought of was The Wicked Witch of the West's legs and witchy shoes! hahaha!
ReplyDeleteSecondly, it looked like two swans' necks and heads, dive bombing. Very cool looking!
Have a wonderful birthday celebration! Dinner sounds wonderful!
Can't wait to see what your brussel sprouts do! They're really looking great! Wow!
Great ideas.....
DeleteDinner was great....the sprouts make me laugh!
geez, cant imagine what cloud formation reminds me of. very beautiful, anyways. great pics. viv is so enchanting. dinner sounds good to me. happy b-day jeff. enjoy the festivities. cheers linda!!
ReplyDeleteNo problemo!
DeleteShe is enchanting...isn't she!
yes.
Deletemy daughter is 31. and has no current intentions of having any babies. she so career minded.
Gorgeous and cheery photos on this dark, rainy day. It is pouring here and we can expect two days of this. Look at little V in her hat. *smile* "Happy Birthday" to Jeff. I'll bet he's looking forward to his birthday dinner. Hugs
ReplyDeleteWe hardly got any rain......darn!
DeleteHot and muggy.....so glad I bought her that hat♥️
Jeff enjoyed his b'day dinner....
Reminds me of something much more sombre, the day the Challenger Space Schuttle blew up!
ReplyDeleteLove to see you bike. Are you going to ride it? What are the roads/lanes like?
Happy birthday to Jeff. I won't sing the song - it will never be the same again!
Gosh you do have a varied diet - you'll make someone a great wife. Oh! sorry you are!! . . . you keep talking about your b/f you see! lol
Have a great evening.
Hi Eddie...
DeleteThat bike is over 40 years old!
My boyfriend bought it for me AGES ago....it was in the basement for 30 years...and we put it in the garden a few years back!
No...I won't be riding it! Hahaha! I have much better one for that!
Yes...I am a damn good cook....but I really enjoy cooking.....MOST of the time!
Jeff enjoyed his dinner....he is a great guy!
LOL
DeleteWell the bike certainly looks in very good condition . . . . just like its owner.
Get th b/f to take a piccie of you riding your bike - your readers would love thatt!! LOL
Maria and I had bikes whch we rode 2 years ago after a log break. We have a local cycle track we use and she was a little nervous when she got both feet off the ground after lots of prompting by me and I was in hysterics when she protested, "It's alright for you, but I haven't ridden a bike since 1976" just as three people passed us who were totally cracked up.
Have a good day
Not a chance!!
DeleteFabulous Linda. I like the bike with the additions, a plant or two will make it even better! What a clever boyfriend you have. The clouds look like a pair of folded up angels wings to me! Perhaps that is just because I am a fanciful sort. Hope that you have a great evening with the birthday boy! xx
ReplyDeleteAnother great idea on the clouds....
DeleteWe had a lovely time...Miss V was here for the afternoon♥️
happy birthday to the birthday fella, clouds, I see a pair of ballerina's legs and feet, or two arrows racing to the ground, or two cormorants flying towards the ground,
ReplyDeleteWow...awesome Laurie....I can see that!
DeleteThe clouds are ballerina legs en pointe.
ReplyDeleteJane x
Hey....did you copy Laurie? Ha!
DeleteI do see that....
No, Laurie had her hand over her answer,Miss.
DeleteJane x
You are so witty!!
DeleteI love it!
Aww what's cute is she:)
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to Jeff:)
Just for you Gloria......
Deletewhat a fabulous mother in love you are!
ReplyDeletejust like my own mother to bob.
she spoiled him rotten!
He is such a nice young man...it is hard not to try and spoil him.....
DeleteOh my, that Miss V is growing like a weed! (a beautiful weed of course:) Your pictures are as delightful as ever. I'm so excited for you and your sprouts!!! I planted some too this year. I just love the way they grow so tall and stately:) I've never grown them in a pit though. Curious as to how that works out. White peonies are gorgeous. I just brought some pink ones in the house today after they finally opened. I can't wait to try and mix them with some other flowers that are bursting outside. The roses are particularly gorgeous this year! Not sure why...
ReplyDeleteThank so much for sharing, Linda. Have a wonderful birthday celebration!!!
In a POT ~~Louise~~......not a pit! Hahaha!
DeleteI guess I should have put them in the ground....will they need to be staked? Geesh!
I hope the stalk....if I get one.....doesn't fall over!
Whoops typo, lol...If you saw what I looked like nursing this should and trying to type you'd realize I could have written a whole lot of gibberish, lol...No, they won't need to be staked. They grow rather stately and strong. I just worry if the pot, not pit, is deep enough:)
DeleteIt just poured and poured here, in fact we broke rainfall records for the day with 43 mm coming down. The peonies are now minus most of their petals :( Good luck with those brussels sprouts ... I'm trying growing kale and okra and zucchini for the first time.
ReplyDeleteI saw that on the news....we hardly got any!
DeleteYou will love the zucchini....beautiful flowers...
The dinner sounds lovely!
ReplyDeletePearl
Hi Pearl....welcome to my blog....hope to see you again...I will pop over and see what you are up to!
DeleteFirst, the cloud picture looks like the front legs of a unicorn. Second, your bike leaning up against a tree? Why don't you ride it around the neighbourhood?
ReplyDeleteIt is over 40 years old....not in running condition needless to say!
DeleteJust because you are fit, doesn't mean I have to be!
I like being totally out of shape.......hahahahaha!
You and I are cut from the same cloth...why have any day without words?!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers, I especially love the geraniums ready to burst open.
Happy Birthday to Jeff! Lovely menu!!
XO,
Jane
Hi Jane....
DeleteI find it very difficult to be wordless!
It is an ongoing problem.....
Dinner was good......
I love your old bicycle and think it will look sweet with some flowers growing in the basket and maybe even in the old can. It's our daughter-in-law to be's birthday today so we went out to dinner with her, Mark and her parents. We had a really nice time and a delicious meal. Miss V looks so sweet in her pretty outfit and hat. The clouds look like angel wings to me. What an unusual formation. Pam
ReplyDeleteSO we both had birthdays to celebrate!
DeleteYour bike is so nice, I love the bucket on the back. The dinner you planned sounds delicious, I hope you had a nice time.
ReplyDeleteWe did.....
DeleteSo beautiful the clouds look like a ballerina; your garden is gorgeous ...My chives was the only surviving herb from last year...soon the day-lilies will bloom ( love them) and I just bought a coleus for an empty pot, I need to pinch back the leaves...do you do that to make it look bushier? Miss V is adorable, and your dinner sounds so yummy - actually mouthwatering scrumptious. have a lovely week.
ReplyDeleteI pinch out the flowers on the Coleus...that makes for better growth1
DeleteHappy belated B-day Jeff !
ReplyDeleteOh supper sounds YUMMY ! Wonderful photos . We had some rain last night with a bit of thunder . Thanks for sharing , Have a good week !
We had thunder last night as well....
DeleteHope the cottage got some rain!!!
Love the bike! And there's just something about the fresh green of that growing cabbage. Wonderful post. Wish I could join you for dinner.
ReplyDeleteIt was delish!
DeleteCan't wait to watch the brussel sprouts grow!
Love the bike and the baby!
ReplyDeleteWelcome and thanks...I will pop over and see what you are all about!!
DeleteWhere have I been all day?
ReplyDeleteYes, the chives! Love them!!!
:0)
And the clouds too, of course. Not quite sure what they remind me of...
The sunshine is back after a dreary day. Hoping for a little more sun tomorrow.
You have probably been on FB all day!!! hahaha!
Deleteyes...the chives...♥️
Yeah, probably. (*blush*)
DeleteIt's an elephant, clearly. Or the legs of someone really tall....
ReplyDeleteOh yes......clearly an elephant! WHAT?
