As you can see from the button above, this meme is designed to help make the mundane interesting. I have to wonder if my mundaneness is beyond the help of this meme … but it can’t hurt … so welcome to today’s miscellany.
1. Something (or someone?) had gotten to her nest. There are broken egg shells around the nest … and as a result, mama duck has abandoned her nest. That just makes me so sad.
2. We had another round of storms pass through last night. This one had hail … several of the stones were nickel-sized or better. Hopefully the hail didn’t do any damage … it was just a year ago when we had a storm with hail that damaged our roof and siding. I don’t want to have to go through that again.
3. I almost didn’t get out and plant those “freebie” plants yesterday … too sore from the digging up on Saturday, but I’m glad I got them in the ground. It’s still raining this morning and is supposed to keep raining all day. The weather here has been just plain weird here … for the past 7 months or so.
4. Am I the only one who gets an interesting thought and thinks “I’ve got to share that on my blog” … only to forget the thought when I sit down to write. Hence the need for a meme that makes the mundane interesting! ha!
5. Time to get caught up on cleaning up around the house. I’ve been busy (and lazy) … and have let tidying up pass for housecleaning. <oops> Since it’s going to rain today, I may as well take advantage and get to work around the house.
As for your #4 I write everything down! :) have a good week.
ReplyDelete#4 - absolutely!!! And it makes me crazy - especially as I sit here and try to think of things to blog about knowing that I had a hundred ideas just an hour ago!!! I've even been known to take pictures - thinking they'll remind me what I was going to blog about and then the picture makes no sense to me!!! Arggggg!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I forget all the time. Getting older is not all it's cracked up to be. Love your mundanness. Makes me feel normal, cause most of my life is mundane too.
ReplyDeleteoh that saddens me about the nest :(
ReplyDeleteI'm the same way as you; I write brillant blog posts when I'm lying awake at 3 o'clock in the morning, but can I remember them later?? Nope!
sometimes mundane is a good thing! Rather have days like that then days filled with too much drama!
betty
#4 happens to me quite often...I jot things down as they come to mind or at least a clue that will hopefully spark the memory later.
ReplyDeletesorry about those baby ducklings : (
#4 Happens to me quite often too. I also have a blog for short stories and poems. I think of many many things to write there but forget when I get to the computer!
ReplyDeleteI think we all get our best blogging ideas when a computer is nowhere in sight--then can't remember them when we do get to a computer!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about the duck's nest. We had the same problem with our chickens.
Love free plants! Glad you got them in. I do the same thing with #4. Forget the story sometimes but mostly forget the titles I want to use.
ReplyDeleteSo sad about the duck. If I don't start a post as soon as I have an idea, it's gone. :(
ReplyDeleteGood Morning! Thanks for your comment this morning.
ReplyDeleteSo sad about the duck :-(
I'm always thinking "that sounds like a blog post". LOL Sometimes I remember...sometimes I don't.
Hugs,

Totally agree with those last two! Think like FlyLady and call it "blessing your home" instead of tidying up. Makes it sound more thorough, somehow.
ReplyDeleteThat is so sad about the ducks. I always have things I want to share and then forget. Keep a note pad close by!
