Things In My House Thursday

This is one of those ubiquitous black metal candle holders, but when I saw this one at Costco I knew that it would go perfectly on a blank bathroom wall where nothing else was appropriate.

It is fun and even practical - during a power outage..... and in theory it would be great mood lighting for a bubble bath, but you know I'm a shower girl.

All lit up; these candles smell heavenly.

And this is just a fun picture - my old, 'cheap', point and shoot digital camera has a setting to only pick up one color; I chose red:

Things In My House Thursday

Today's TIMHT, since I've remembered to post (!), features these little wire people with magnets in them. They hang onto wall corners where there is a metal strip under the sheetrock.

We move them around occasionally and offer them accessories, but mostly we just forget that they are there.

Just another assortment of oddities adorning our home that visitors probably find rather strange.....

Join TIMHT and share something from your house!!

TIMHT - forgotten!

Oh yeah, I totally forgot. Completely.

Mary just mentioned it to me and here I am.

I'm completely unprepared; I could run through the house and take pictures of something, but I'll just talk instead.

Because here's what going on: last week was VBS, so every day I came home exhausted and dumped any and all papers, mail, and junk on the dining room table. I've been trying to clear that all this week.

I got a new photo scanner, and there are photographs and negatives and albums lying around finished or waiting their turn.

I've started using an electronic money-management system, that I can't figure out, and I have receipts and statements all over the computer desk.

Sooooooo, my house feels messy and trashed, and not photo-worthy. And my brain is tired.

I AM going to take some relaxing bloggy time for myself later today and visit you all and see what you're up to.

Thanks for those that have already posted TIMHT even without a home.... :)

And to anyone else who wants to join - post, link, visit, comment!

Have a Terrific Thursday!!

Things in my House Thursday - Outside

I was in the backyard minding the 'garden' as well as my own business. Then this bird flew right in front of my face, with a worm dangling from its mouth, and landed on the fence. I was confused by the invasion of my personal space, but then started wondering where it was going with that worm, because it wasn't being consumed.

Well, rude Orange Feathers hopped along the fence to a previously unnoticed Fuzzy Fat Bird, and fed it the worm!

Fuzzy Fat was not a baby, and they didn't even look related; I still haven't figured out their arrangement.

This is the part where I ran inside to get the camera, but, of course, Orange Feathers never repeated the act. Fuzzy Fat never moved from its spot, and Orange Feathers came and went, keeping a close eye on things, but minus any meals.

So this is the best photo-journalism I could come up with.... I think I was trying too hard to be like Carol, but I just don't have the patience. : )
