It's always healthy to have a positive attitude, right? :) I think it's more obvious what the negative attitude does....you really can see it on someone's face.
Yes you are absolutely right about that. I love that moon over your sweet home, what a colour! amazing shot. Good night! Well at least for me over on the other side of the pond :-)
We don't eat them...although I did make jelly from them one time. If you eat them raw they are unbearably sour and kind of tough, so I just leave them for the birds.
I used to make crab apple jelly, lovely on my home made bread. I say 'used to' because I picked my crabbies from two trees that grew wild in a little country lane I know. One day, when I was picking, a police car stopped and Fuzz demanded to know why I was "stealing" the apples! (It's called "scrumping" here and apparently it's against the law). I was cautioned, and they drove away. The next week I discovered that the Council had cut the trees down and removed all the timber and the fallen apples! Pigs!
A good thought by Roald Dahl, but I don't really want to "look lovely"; people might get the wrong idea about me. Ha!
You made a sun appear Instead of a title with your cheer Look at you So it shines through? That could be so Hope the sunbeams from my face won't burn anyone though lol
Nice photo and quote! I had a crabapple at my other house and i also noticed they ate them in the winter mostly when they would fall off the tree. Sometimes though I would see starlings eating them starting in fall because i have pics of fall leaves around the apples on the ground.
So THAT'S your secret!! I knew you were always "looking lovely." Just figured it was your natural beauty shining through!! Now I know. Good thoughts shining out of your face!! LOL
Good thought.
ReplyDeleteI see your crab apple is full of fruits. Our local blackbirds are loving the glut of plums in the back garden here.
Yep, all those little blossoms have turned to fruit. The birds don't start eating them here until the winter, for some reason...
DeleteThen obviously you must always have good thoughts . . :)
ReplyDeleteLovely photo . .
Isn't that pretty? ...from my kitchen window...
DeleteVery . . . lovely to look out on that and that's where you get some of your shots of bird life I expect . . :)
DeleteYep...that's the same window!
DeleteHow very true. Looking at your photos you only have good thoughts ;-)

DeleteThat moon was amazing...gorgeous color and huge! I'm so glad I didn't miss that one!
DeleteSweet dreams!
Lovely thought and so true. Do you eat your crab apples? Are they sweet? Just wondering because I've never eaten one.

DeleteToday's sermon talked about being a light to a fallen world.

ReplyDeleteA good thought by Roald Dahl, but I don't really want to "look lovely"; people might get the wrong idea about me. Ha!
I also know of three pear trees in an abandoned house garden. I'll make sure that I'm not seen when I go "scrumping" there in the Autumn (Fall)!
DeleteJust wear that disguise I suggested to you!
DeleteThanks for the inspiration....need it!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Linda :o)
You always look like a ray of sunshine, Linda! :)
Delete♥️
DeleteYou are both rays of sunshine . . . :)
DeleteAm I a ray of sunshine? . . . lol
DeleteI'll let Linda answer that one. :)
DeleteUm....err....Yes...of course you are Eddie!
Delete{how was that Betsy?} tee hee hee!

DeleteWhat a lovely picture and beautiful thought.....that will be my quote to carry in my mind today. Love you... Hugs.
ReplyDeleteYou're another ray of sunshine, Wanda!
DeleteYou made a sun appear
ReplyDeleteInstead of a title with your cheer
Look at you
So it shines through?
That could be so
Hope the sunbeams from my face won't burn anyone though lol
That's the ultimate happy face
Deleteif you burn up the human race. lol....
Good quote and such a pretty shot!
ReplyDeleteI think it was especially pretty to me with all the dark and rainy days we have been seeing!
DeleteI believe Mr. Dahl is correct :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I totally agree....some whiny negative people have shown me lately that the opposite is true, too! ha.
DeleteSending good thoughts from my face to yours!
ReplyDelete☼ :)
DeleteLovely quote!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great Monday
Thank you, Manu! It's been good so far!
DeleteGreat quote to go with this exceptional shot Betsy. I love how the light shines through the glass feeder.
ReplyDeleteThat was the first thing that caught my attention from the window...the feeder was glowing!
DeleteNice photo and quote! I had a crabapple at my other house and i also noticed they ate them in the winter mostly when they would fall off the tree. Sometimes though I would see starlings eating them starting in fall because i have pics of fall leaves around the apples on the ground.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog by the way.
Thank you, Sandy...I appreciate that! We have a lot of Starlings feeding in that tree during the winter!
DeleteSo THAT'S your secret!! I knew you were always "looking lovely." Just figured it was your natural beauty shining through!! Now I know. Good thoughts shining out of your face!! LOL
