- Watered the flowers in the pots outside.
- Made out the grocery list. (Spencer came up later and added 'DVDs' to the last column, using my pen. :)
- Watched Mr. Cardinal in the feeder.
- Checked the garden for anything ready to pick.
- Filled a bag and a box of unwanted items for the thrift store.
- Enjoyed the morning light on my desk.
- Watched the light turn to dark clouds, lightning, and eventually rain. Much needed but only about 15 minutes worth. We need days of it!
- Added some cheery stickers to my freshly painted toes.
- Watched rain drops dancing in the pool.
- You know my yummy Banana Toffee Crunch Muffins? I mixed up the batter and put it in a greased tube pan. Baked for 1 hour. Yum. Easier than muffins, too. I think I'll be making it this way from now on!
- Caught Oreo in the cupboards.
- Watered the inside plants.
I also cleaned Nugget's cage and the parakeets' cage,
did 4 loads of laundry, cleaned the bathrooms,
vacuumed, cleaned the litter box and ran on the treadmill.
Oh, and made dinner and did the dishes.
But some things aren't as fun to photograph. haha.
I hope your day was lovely, too!
Have you thought of photographing your day?
It makes even the ordinary seem extraordinary.
♥
And!!!! We interrupt this Wednesday to show you what some one in town
dropped off to me this evening. A frightened, starved little boy kitten they
found wandering around. I guess they thought Mrs. Doolittle would take him in at the zoo. ha ha.
Well, she was right. How could I refuse?
I even had a little bag of kitten chow. How convenient!
He's exhausted, can't you tell? Aww.
No name yet. Hmmm....
First
ReplyDeleteGloria is worst
Never thought of photographing my day
DeleteAs it would make for quite the boring display
Plus then you'd have to watch the cat go
And I'm supposed to stop that you know hahaha
They love getting in the cupboards though
Exploring to and fro
The cardinal looks like he rammed his face in the feeder or something
I think his bells must be ready or are giving a ring
And dvds can't be beat
Then of course the pool can beat the heat
And everything else is too much
I'd be in traction for sure with such haha
give gloria some slack
Deleteit's hard to be first while under the dirt so black
haha...I dare you, cat, to photograph your day.
sleeping and eating and playing would dismay
and maybe amuse
other things might abuse.
lol......
ppfffftttttttttt! to Pat of course
DeleteYeah some might not be able to handle my day
DeleteAs the cat would put everything on display
So that would be scary to say the least
Be quite the picture feast
And pffft the glory dear
From my little rhyming rear
Look at you with number nine
Adding another feline
If everyone in town knows
Soon tons of kitties will run across your toes
Seems happy as can be
There at your sea
He slept on my stomach all night
Deleteafter crying for his mother with fright.
But seems happier today
and wanting to eat and play.
He's so malnourished and thin
will be fun to get a little fat on him!
Poor little guy
DeleteHopefully he isn't shy
And plays with the other eight
Or he could have a bad fate
thats one action packed day!!
ReplyDeleteLove the toes!!!
it was a fun day, though. I love days where we don't have to go anywhere. :) I get a lot done that way! hahaha.
Deleteoh my...that cake (ex-muffin) sounds wonderful...nice color on the toes too...smiles....your list after the pics made me tired too...ha...
ReplyDeleteha the boys today and T at work so we cut the grass...ate grapes off the arbor, took books back to the library, got new ones for the vacay trip, got our clothes out to pack....then work
a nice productive day...and played Mr. Mom before going to work! :) Fun!
DeleteI'll have a piece of cake, please. I'll even bring some vanilla coffee. :)
ReplyDeleteoooh...that's a deal. I could use a cup of coffee! :)
DeleteYou lazing around again today Betsy??? You ought to be ashamed of yourself!!! hahahaha
ReplyDeleteThere isn't enough room here to list all of the things I did today..
I should do another post like this...I did one a while back...
Love the cardinal :o)
Getting my toes done tomorrow...
Enjoy your evening
Cheers!
Linda :o)
sounds like you were busy, too! Nice! Oooh...and pretty toes tomorrow. How fun!
DeleteYou know Betsy I dont take pictures all days to my food my dogs and sometimes the skies outside and you know LOL
ReplyDeleteBut today was a very exausted day psicologist Esperanza go to stores with the kids (they want go to a new shop center ) Really I finish exausted but they are happy LOL
I arrived so late at home and when I send you the message that answer Pat LOL I was in The shopping center:)
I bought some things in the groceries but almost day with a large plate of Corelle I find (In the subway and in the bus ha!) But Im he.
I love Oreo pic he is adorable I remember the cats love these sites. Love your nails with stickers maybe to the summer I make something like that.
Betsy I was in a Russian store so lovely and I think some of these things you will love:)
Well, you had a big day,too! Sounds like the stores were a lot of fun! I love to go into those fun, different shops like that! You found a Corelle plate in the subway? lol. hahaha...that's as good as the auction trash! :)
DeleteNot silly I bought two corelles and have in the subway and the bus with them:)
DeleteI know you teasing me:)
Deletelol....well, I was going to say I hope you washed them first. hahaha.
DeleteOf course:))
DeleteI have thought about it several times, but even with your instructions, have not been able to make a collage with numbers..but love reading and seeing yours. I really like your idea of baking muffins in the tube pan..will try that with my sour cream cinnamon coffee cake.
ReplyDeleteLike your earrings in the sunlight. I wear silver hoops all the time. Your's look gold! Will do laundry, change beds and vacuum tomorrow. Had doctor appt. today, and got hooked watching the Dodgers play a extra innings game on TV....but did win it in the 12th inning.
12 innings? wow...sounds fun!
Deleteyes, the earrings are gold. I wear them a lot. :) Sounds like tomorrow is your cleaning day. I work an auction, so I needed to get my stuff done today while I was home.
There's a new picture editing thing out picmonkey.com Maybe that would be easier? You should give it a try.
Amazing how much a good woman can accomplish in a day! You go girl!!!
ReplyDeleteespecially if she has a pot of coffee in her! lol....
DeleteYou are a little whirlwind!! Hmmmm... photographing a day. Food for thought. blessings ~ tanna
ReplyDeleteps I love the DVD addition. hee hee
oh me, too. It was so funny to see him grab a pen and add to the list! hahaha.
DeleteI'm tired just reading this! You are amazing! What a cute little kitten. Do the boys like cats?
ReplyDeleteThey don't dislike them but they don't care to have anything to do with them. I make them pet the rabbit or cats and they will, but only to get it over with. lol....
DeleteWoman, you exhaust me! You are so productive. Do you have trouble getting the stickers off when you change your pedicure? I do. Maybe it's the kind I use. Love the kitten...he's in good hands.
ReplyDeleteYes! the stickers are hard! I soak a little remover on them and scrape them with the side of my nail file. haha.
DeleteGood lord, I think you need a pamper me day. :)
ReplyDeleteHey, you know! I'll pass that thought along! haha. Actually I work at the auctions tomorrow and I always joke that it's like having a vacation day! haha.
DeleteDear Betsy, I am returning online after 10 days spend with family.;) Love your new header and your day sounds delightfully busy. Beautiful toes.;)And love the light on your desk.;) The new kitty looks just like Sammy - so how many cats exactly do you have now? Enough to call it an animal shelter?;) Have a great day,
ReplyDeletexoxo
Oh, I hope you had a good time! 10 days...what a nice long holiday! :) Yes, he does look so much like Sammy! This makes it 9. We had 9 kittens before but Mustache left and never returned. So, it's back to nine.
DeleteThis one needs some TLC...way too skinny and dehydrated. :(
What a nice way to spend the day :-) Much better than running about stressfully!
ReplyDeletewell, that is a good point, Joe! I got a lot done, but in a way that was enjoyable :)
DeleteSomeone sure knows how BIG your heart is!
ReplyDeleteJust have to say, Thank You for taking care of lost or forgotten Critters.
You are teaching us what it is like to Love unconditionally.
well look at that face! It's irresistible! ha.
DeleteYes, i was going to say..where's the laundry and so on?! Too true about photographing it though! you work harder than most, that is for sure. msut be hard to just stop and put your feet up with constant demands. the world is a better place, families are better from sacrifices like your's Betsy.
ReplyDeleteAwww, I think you should call him Tommy.
tommy? :) Aw...well, whatever I chose, he will make the name adorable. He's such a tiny thing compared to the others which are now 11 months old!
DeleteWhat a wonderful end to the day!! A brand new gorgeous beautiful kitty in need of lotsa TLC!! He came to the right place! Yay! Awwww you are so super adorable woman! take care
ReplyDeletex
Oh, I know...not the ending to the day I was expecting! ha. Didn't get much sleep last night, but that's how it is with any tiny baby. ha.
DeleteLots going on in your life, as usual. That kitten is so cute...and lucky to have found YOU.
ReplyDeletehe's won my heart already...I think it's just how underweight and hungry he was. He needs me! lol....
Deleteaaah this little cat is a sweet thing ha,ha, he doesnt know how lucky he is LOL
ReplyDeleteWhen have a little time see my new postt I think maybe you like:)
ok...just got home, but will come and visit this evening! :)
Deletewhen you can Betsy! I know you had an auction!
DeleteAWWWWWWWWWW Betsy! I love it that you took THAT kitten!!!! A busy and beautiful day.
ReplyDeleteLOVE Spencer adding to your list! SO FUNNY!!!
I have thought of photographing my day but I am such a SPAZZY photographer it would not be as fun as yours!!! :)
how could I say no? and seriously...what's one more? lol.... One nice thing is that he was so tame! He wanted to be held and petted...so different than spending months trying to win the trust of the ferals!
DeleteHow cute that Spencer wrote his DVD request on your grocery list. Very clever!
ReplyDeleteOur granddaughters write their requests on my grocery list. I always know what they have written, but Unks doesn't. One time he asked me if I really wanted all those snacks. And another time they just wrote the word "everything" on the list.
I love your new nail color and stickers. Looks like you are ready for another pedi party : )
That was so VERY VERY kind of you to help the stray kitten. You were his angel today.
'everything'...oh..hahaha...Taylor used to write that on mine when he was younger! When they shop with you, it seems like you buy everything, doesn't it? :)
DeleteP.S. I accidently posted my comment under Michelle's comment and deleted. Sorry Michelle : )
ReplyDeleteI'm a little spacey today!
I took care of that for you! ;)
DeleteKitties do luv a hidey-hole. LOL Always something entertaining with cats.
ReplyDeleteOh look! Your houseplant is exactly green. Mine turn yellow or brown and then give up the ghost. What's your secret?
