It's been a couple of weeks.



Have you ever picked a wildflower?

When was the last time you saw an insect, and what was it?
Yesterday. An ant. A BIG ant but not like the ones in "Them."



FOOD QUESTIONS!

The Call of the Wild Is Not For Me


JUST A FEW MORE QUESTIONS

Do you ever wear gloves? Rarely.
If so, when was the last time you wore them? It's been years.

What is the longest period of time you've gone without wearing socks?
Months.

What time do you usually go to bed at night?
Between 10:30 and 1:00


Speaking of bedtime, it's almost that time for me. My alarm goes off at 5:50 a.m. (That's torture for me!) Until next time, then, happy Tuesday to you all. Have a great day and be sure to smile at a stranger. A tiny gesture of kindness can lift someone else's spirits as well as your own.


Thank you, Pam. You are such a sweetie.
