How Sweet The Sound

Pink Saturday - October 11

My pink contribution for this Pink Saturday are these two pages I did for a circle journal in which I was participating.  The participants were a group of members of the Old Timer's board on Two Peas In A Bucket.  This circle journal topic was color, and I know you aren't surprised that I did my pages on the color pink.  The first picture is the left-side of the two-page spread, and the second picture is the right side.

This week we have one hundred fourteen (114) participants in Pink Saturday.  Wow!!!  It seems that so many of us have fun with the color pink.  I hope you are all enjoying this as much as I am.

Please take the time to visit the other participants, and leave them a comment to let them know you stopped by to enjoy their pink.  Pink Saturday is about having fun, and giving us a chance to meet others in the blogging community.  That is why it is important that we get out and visit each other.  I realize there are a lot of participants, and it is time-consuming to visit.  But, you don't have to visit every one all at once - just as you have time over the next few days.  I promise you it is worth the effort because you will not only see lots of pink, you will meet incredibly nice people.  Everyone likes to receive comments on their contributions.

I had a question about the order that people appear on this list, and I want to explain.  I have a database that is sorted by the order in which people started participating in Pink Saturday.  The list had become a bit out-of-order as people do and don't participate each week, but I have put it in order once again.  I think this is the most fair way to list the participants.

I want to thank those of you that takes the time to leave me a comment.  I love reading what you all have to say.

Something To Put A Smile On Your Face

I got this in an e-mail, and I thought I would share - because we all need a smile.
*****************************************************

Can you cry under water?

 
How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?
 

Why do you have to 'put your two cents in'... but it's only a 'penny for your thoughts'? Where's that extra penny going to? 

Once you're in heaven, do you get stuck wearing the clothes you were buried in for eternity?
 
Why does a round pizza come in a square box?
 
What disease did cured ham actually have?
 
How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?
 
Why is it that people say they 'slept like a baby' when babies wake up like every two hours?
 
If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing?  

Why are you IN a movie, but you're ON TV?
 
Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?
 
Why do doctors leave the room while you change?
They're going to see you naked anyway.
 
Why is 'bra' singular and 'panties' plural?
 
Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat?
 
If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a stupid song about him?
 
Can a hearse carrying a corpse drive in the carpool lane?
 
If the professor on Gilligan's Island can make a radio out of a coconut, why can't he fix a hole in a boat?
 
Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours?
They're both dogs!
 
If Wile E. Coyote had enough money to buy all that ACME crap, why didn't he just buy dinner?
 
If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, what is baby oil made from?
 
If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?
 
Do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same tune?
 
Why did you just try singing the two songs above?
 
Why do they call it an asteroid when it's outside the hemisphere, but call it a hemorrhoid when it's in your butt?
 
Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him for a car ride, he sticks his head out the window?

What's My Question Wednesday

My question for today is ...

Do you purchase a real pumpkin to use for autumn decorations?

And if you do, what do you do with it when you take down your decorations?

While Walking In Our Woods

I noticed one of our little birdhouses, and how lonely it was looking.  It seems the occupants aren't currently needing a place to nest.  I admit it is looking a bit run down.  Maybe I'll lower the rent next spring.  What do you think?



********************************
Be sure to come back tomorrow for What's My Question Wednesday.

Another Favorite

She Walks In Beauty

She walks in beauty, like the night

Of cloudless climes and starry skies;

And all that's best of dark and bright

Meet in her aspect and her eyes:

Thus mellow'd to that tender light

Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,

Had half impair'd the nameless grace

Which waves in every raven tress,

Or softly lightens o'er her face;

Where thoughts serenely sweet express

How pure, how dear their dwelling place.

And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,

So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,

The smiles that win, the tints that glow,

But tell of days in goodness spent,

A mind at peace with all below,

A heart whose love is innocent!

                                        Lord Byron

Will The Circle Be Unbroken

Thank God our Shelia is at home safe and sound.

By The Carter Family
(Click to listen)

I was standing by the window
On a cold and cloudy day
When I saw the hearse come rolling
To carry my mother away

   Will the circle be unbroken
   Bye and bye Lord bye and bye
   There's a better home a waiting
   In the sky Lord in the sky

I said to the undertaker
Undertaker please drive slow
For that body you are carrying
Lord I hate to see her go

Well I followed close behind her
Tried to hold up and be brave
But I could not hide my sorrow
When they laid her in that grave

I went back home Lord that home was lonesome
Since my mother, she was gone
All my brothers and sisters crying
What a home so sad and alone

Pink Saturday - October 4

My pink contribution for this Pink Saturday is this handsome fellow.  Not only is he a rooster, he is the king rooster in my kitchen.  I know many of you recognize this fine fellow as the rooster that inspired The Rooster Parade, but he has been upset that he had not been invited to appear at Pink Saturday.

Now we all know roosters think they are the king of the coop, but just look at this rooster.  Isn't he pretty?  All pink and green with flower petals for feathers.  A lot of the other roosters around town talk about him, but he doesn't feel intimidated.  He knows all of those other roosters are just jealous because he is the most handsome.  He is incredibly self-confident, but doesn't have a vain feather on his back.

And you wouldn't believe how all the hens fluff their feathers and prance around him.  Honestly, they are a disgrace to womankind.  Where is their pride?

But, wait just a minute.  Maybe we will be seeing cute little pink and green chicks soon.

This week we have one hundred four (104) participants in Pink Saturday.  Wow!!!  It seems that so many of us have fun with the color pink.  I hope you are all enjoying this as much as I am.

Please take the time to visit the other participants, and leave them a comment to let them know you stopped by to enjoy their pink.  Pink Saturday is about having fun, and giving us a chance to meet others in the blogging community.  That is why it is important that we get out and visit each other.  I realize there are a lot of participants, and it is time-consuming to visit.  But, you don't have to visit every one all at once - just as you have time over the next few days.  I promise you it is worth the effort because you will not only see lots of pink, you will meet incredibly nice people.  Everyone likes to receive comments on their contributions.

I Had This On My Mind Yesterday

You've Got A Friend
(Click to listen)



When you're down and troubled
And you need some loving care
And nothing, nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend

If the sky above you
Grows dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind begins to blow
Keep your head together
And call my name out loud
Soon you'll hear me knocking at your door

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there

Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
When people can be so cold
They'll hurt you, and desert you
And take your soul if you let them
Oh, but don't you let them

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend.

            Lyrics by Carole King

These two are a true dynamic duo!
