Z To A Mondays: G Is For...

Good food and Gags

This week, like most of you, I plan on having some good food. And though I am not cooking for a crowd, I do have some extra turkey on hand in case the guest list becomes "inflated"...

Click on the pictures to get a better look...

At least I know I won't be adding extra calories!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Z To A Mondays: H Is For...

Hidden.

A pretty little pendant...

Hides the workings of a vintage watch.

Two plain looking rocks...

Hide milky waves and sparkling crystals.

A Japanese doll from my childhood..

Hides a family inside.

A dull ceramic bowl...

Hides a glistening pool of cracked glass on the bottom.

Have a great Monday, everyone. Want to see more Z to A players? Go to Jen's blog and look at her sidebar.

Sunday Outside

Pictures from the yard at dusk. Fungus that looks like sculture..

The sun, low in the sky, picks which leaves to highlight.

Thankfully, it picks the brightly colored ones.

My maple is a massive golden giant.

Sunday inside? There's nothing better than napping on your sister.

Except for maybe helping Mom pick the best shot for the blog...

A New Sock (Sunday Outside Later)

One "Catherine" down, one to go. No Sunday outside pics yet. Check back later tonight.

Z To A Mondays: I Is For...

Impatient

We drove through Silver Spring, MD yesterday on our way back home. Apparently this town just can't wait to celebrate a season that has not yet begun. (At least in my mind it hasn't. I still have a bowl of Baby Ruths and the skulls and pumpkins just made their way back to the bin in the basement.)

They even have the city workers decking the halls on a Sunday! Talk about your Christmas rush.

Don't get me wrong. I love Christmastime. But I haven't even bought a turkey yet! How about you? Anyone have a holiday decoration up yet? (And I don't mean Halloween.)

Have a great Monday, whether your turkeys or wreaths are out. Check out Jen's sidebar for more Z to A Monday players.

Sunday Outside

Or should I say Sunday from the car? We went down to Northern Virginia to see an ailing relative today, and took the scenic route home. Here are some snapshots of D.C. I decided that hurried shots of landmarks from the car window would not be the best post.

So at the red lights, I looked around for some interesting shots of the buildings. One of the best things about D.C. is that it's full of really interesting architecture.

Sometimes you have to look up for the really beautiful structure.

If I was doing A to Z Mondays, and had to come up with an L, I'd title this next picture Lots of Lions...

Love this rooftop gazebo garden. I would love to be sitting up there.

What is it about Egyptian sphinxes....

that makes them seem to attract solitary women?

Cool door. It was flanked by two palm trees. Palm trees in Scotland? Seems like they should have thistles, not palms.

When is the last time you saw a Buddhist monk walking down the street in your town?

Then again, how many of your towns have a temple like this?

See you tomorrow for Z to A Mondays! It's the letter I.
