Thursday /Friday Post

Hi Everybody!

Hope you are all doing well. Here it has got very cold -  not my thing! A little bit of sun and warmth would be nice, but it's evidently not on the programme for the next couple of days! That makes it time for gloves, hats scarves and warm coats, and a hot water bottle at night!

I seem to have been in a blue mood as I have quite a few blue faces, I really do love blue:









These are some lovelies from David Zinn:




A good tip:


I love stores like this, so much more fun than shopping for groceries:



I am linking to Nicole's FFO and Gillena's AFFF

Have a great day, and a good weekend, take care,
And thanks a lot for coming by!

  3. Love the blue faces and pavement art-I literally used my phone to take a label pic and enlarge it yesterday lol. Interesting chicken facts we have had a few chickens and ducks in our garden over the years-sadly the fox got the last ducks! Very miserable and cold here for the past week.

  7. I like your blue faces, and I always enjoy seeing David Zinns work.
    Great facts about the chicken.

    We've had a lot of grey and gloomy days in my part of the UK this week and I am hoping for some sunshine over the weekend, but I'm not 100% sure we shall see any!

    Take care, wrap-up well and keep warm.

    All the best Jan

  13. Beautiful Blue faces and blue certainly is appropriate, everything is tinged with blue in the cold weather. Or grey, there's a lot of grey about too. I treated myself to a plug in heated electric throw. It is divinely warm. We must hug our hot water bottles too! Deb

  16. Blue is my favorite color so I try not to use it for everything. Ha ha.
    Chickens are the closest relation to a T-Rex.....maybe that explains why they scare me.

    1. Yes, chickens can be scary, the rooster at my aunt's always pecked and chased me and I was terrified!

  17. My favourite blue face is #2, although they are all lovely. Also had to laugh at the cute photo of the baby donkey and kitten, and the "shit you don't need" store! My smart phone has a powerful magnifier app on it, which is a godsend for reading labels at grocery and clothing stores, and menus at restaurants!

    1. Do we all get shortsighted, or are the labels much smaller these days?! I love the idea of a 'shit you don't need' store, what fun. Dollar stores sometimes ave this attraction, too!

  18. So many happy and interesting things in this post Valerie. I love all your faces; blue is great color for right now I think. and ooo that kitty and donkey face as well as the dogs peering around the door for cake. That's just what they do, isn't it? :) And who knew that about chickens. I wonder how they learned some of that; like them seeing more colors than we do. I hope you have a super and not too cold weekend ahead. hugs-Erika

    1. Thanks Erika. I suppose someone must have interviewed those chickens to find out all those pieces of wisdom! Yes, the kitty and donkey are both sweet, I love donkeys. And my dogs always stuck their noses round the dooe like that, especially when something was cooking! Have a great weekend, hugs!
