Being creative with a fantastic moon

Today I have to post another quickie... We have assembled the chest of drawers, but we're still getting rid of a lot of junk. It's springing cleaning, we just couldn't wait until spring!

A quick cartoon

Today's post is a quickie because we're assembling some pieces of furniture from Ikea... We had an interesting day yesterday when we went to their Clermont-Ferrand store. Getting there was fine, the GPS gizmo did a good job. Coming back home was a different story. A massive section of one of the roads was closed and our friendly GPS lady didn't know that. We could hear the panic in her voice: "U-turn. U-turn! U-turn!!!" She does that when we disregard her instructions. In the end I just switched off the sound until we finished negotiating the diversion. 

This cartoon was photographed at an exhibition in Sāo Paulo, Brazil, by a friend of mine. I love the cat's expression!



Now I have to go back to the trusty Allen key...

Dog day extravaganza

GrannyJ, Amy and Mrsgunka have sent me the same bunch of funny dog photos, so I decided to have a theme for the day. In addition to the pictures, there are a couple of sweet doggie videos. Thank you, ladies.

PGFan, here we go!

We received photos from PGFan, together with some interesting bits about her home turf:

I took some pictures of Naperville as part of the WTIOC tour.

Naperville is a town of 145000 located 30 miles west of Chicago. One of the main attractions is the River Walk in the downtown area. The River Walk is about 3 miles long and follows the DuPage River.

The pool is a quarry that was repurposed as a swimming pool. Adults can bring their floats and float on weekend morning, pure bliss.

All of the pictures other than Moonrise and Field of Gold were taken on/or nearby the River Walk. Moonrise and field of gold were taken along the prairie path I like to walk. The prairie has a 10 mile loop and is quite beautiful at times.

Thank you, PGFan. We live in very different areas and it's fascinating to visit faraway places. The river walk is very tempting...

Who's next?

Birthdeh party!

Today is our dear friend 1smartcanerican's birthday. We need a theme, as usual... I chose Canada and granola as the themes for this one.

Happy birthday to a smart, health conscious Canadian!
