♥
Another very productive day for you! I just adore all of your photos.
ReplyDeletethat dishwasher pic is so cool...and weighing hot peppers? smiles. look like a full wednesday!
ReplyDeleteYou had a beautiful day. :)
ReplyDeleteI assume there was a #6-and-a-half: "Turned on dishwasher?" Otherwise, #6 and #7 would have been kinda pointless. Just sayin'...
ReplyDeleteCan't help but laugh at the thought of you prying Harry's mouth open to get out his brother's medicine:-) What would you do without those sweet boys to keep life interesting? I love your list. Maybe that would help me feel more productive if I did that (or maybe it would make me feel worse!).
ReplyDeleteSilver ~ Well, actually there's a 26-40 but who wants to photograph all of that? ha.
ReplyDeleteHeather ~ I couldn't believe he did that. And when I said 'no', he stuffed the rest in. I grabbed the glass of water so he couldn't rinse them down, and went in after them. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteYou mean you deprieved us of 26-40
ReplyDeleteWhat was it to sporty..haha
Making sure Nugget gets his attention
While the kitties hide in the bush yet still get a mention
Yeah those really are girlie weights for sure
But oh well at least if you drop them they won't put a hole in the floor..haha
Pat ~ Yeah, they're girlie weights for sure. Only 3.3 lbs each! At least they aren't pink, right?
ReplyDeletelol.
No, not sporty...just boring! :)
Can you believe we had exactly the same kind of day??!
ReplyDeleteWell... at least #1 & #23.
Hope you have another good day tomorrow.
Christine ~ 1 and 23? Well at least they were the really nice parts! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the daily ordinary. My favorite is when the kids and I are at home during the summer.
ReplyDeleteAmen to the beauty of the ordinary!! blessings ~ tanna
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great Wednesday...I enjoyed your collage of pics...my fave...the jalapeno being weighed...cute. It might look small there but I bet it'll pack a punch of heat.
ReplyDeleteLooks a lot like a thankful list to me.
ReplyDeleteLaughing seeing you prying open a mouth full of pills....HaHa
It was fun following you around this Wednesday.
It could be a thankful list, Wanda! Good point! :)
ReplyDeleteWell, I did numbers 7, 22 and 23 as well. Ha.
ReplyDeleteYum--that bagel looks so good as does anything from your kitchen.
Love how you got to enjoy watching S swinging contently there.
"Welcomed the first jalapeno."
--Hmm, yes, i msut try that some time. LOL. I don't think I have ever seen a live jalpeno...err, or dead one if you know what I mean. ha.
I relaly live this Wednesday seies of yours adn looking at teh phots at full size. They are so very artsy and good, many of them. Great ob Betsy and thanks for inviting us into your busy day.
I realise, of course, you have left out all the many challenges you face each day with your boys, but that pill one was quite the story, let me tell you. I'm sure it's not even half the things you wrestled with.
A thankful list... I love that. It's a visual thankful list. Must try this.
ReplyDeleteYou're a busy lady.
Hi Betsy: how did you create the window effect?
ReplyDeleteCaligirl ~ it's a collage. I did with the photo editing Picasa. It's a free download and easy to use!
ReplyDeleteI love the joy in ordinary days!
ReplyDeleteHi! Betsy...
ReplyDeleteNo#12 have Nugget looking swell...It seems as if you had another busy day
and nothing seems to stand in your way.
Thanks, for sharing all the images too...it don't seem like there is nothing you can do!
deedee ;-D
Oops!...it don't seem like there is nothing you can't do!
ReplyDeleteGreat post !
ReplyDelete:-)
Enjoy your day...
Pierre
Those leaves are HUGE!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful list done in pics! I love it!
Be well
Hugs
SueAnn
Thanks, Betsy Hotel!
ReplyDeleteYou're now on my bucket list! :)
Love your mosaic days! This is such a creative way to tell about simple things! :-)
ReplyDeleteI like ordinary. I like ordinary A LOT.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit I lurk her a lot. Reading and laughing a lot. But, I really enjoy your mosaic days! When you stop to think about all the things you can accomplish in a day it boggles my mind. Plus your kittie and bun-bun pictures are so sweet! Wishing you lots of smiles!
ReplyDeleteChristie ~ well, thanks, dear. I love for you to visit! You're one of my kindred happy souls! :)
ReplyDeleteAnother great compilation. Ahh : we use the same dishwasher tablets.
ReplyDeleteSounds (and looks!) like a lovely day. I am cleared by my cardiologist to exercise, so I'll be busy with my "girlie" weights, too! keep lifting them and maybe you won't get yourself in to trouble like I have.
ReplyDeleteI use the same dishwasher tablets, too! Only problem is, I do the dishes by hand, so I just swallow two before washing them. It does seem to help...
ReplyDeleteI also have my own "girlie weights," in a sense. But that's only when I'm dating a woman who's skinny enough for me to lift.
wow. that's a lot to get accomplished in one day. You are amazing! and I love the way you put this together.
ReplyDeleteOne of these days I'm going to write down everything I do in a day.....could be interesting!!
ReplyDeleteYour days are a good deal more colourful than mine - which is good and bad, I guess! Impressed by the girlie weights. I tried using water bottles but soon lost interest in proper exercising. No wonder I have puny muscles!
ReplyDeleteSilver, you win the prize for the most hilarious comment ever. I don't know what the prize is, but you win it! lol.....
ReplyDeletei'm in awe!!
ReplyDeletewhat a creative post.
love the new header (well i don't how new -new to me as i've been fairly absent around the bloggyhood these days - hoping it isn't a chronic condition)
summer a time of much beauty, joy, and busyness!!!!
I did catch a glimpse of a little beauty on the inside of my eyelids while taking a nap after reading all the things you did. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you,very nice blog.

I think I got tired just looking and reading about what you do in one day. Way too much for me. Nugget looks really spiffy and happy. The garden is growing fantastically.
ReplyDeleteGreat picture collage.
God bless.
Whoops, I almost forgot, I use that dishwasher detergent but I take out the pink balls and use them as marbles. They are great unntil they break. Ok, just kidding, but have to hide them from the wee wittle ones. They think are bubble gum balls.
ReplyDeleteGBA
I'd like to help with "the tasted the baking one" the best!
ReplyDeletemagpie ~ lol....that was cute. Yes, naps are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteMrs. U ~ one taste and I'm sure they would decide that they indeed were not bubble gum! :)
