whimsical wednesday
it's yellow pig day for whimsical wednesday! briefly, the yellow pig was created by two college students in the 1960s in association with a math assignment to consider the properties of the number 17. (see link posted on monday of this week for more information about yellow pig day)
for my yellow pig day observance, i selected the smallest room of the house (excluding the bathrooms) in order to find 17 items that included the color yellow or were completely yellow. the results:
computer modem plug-in
blanket
calendar cover
drink can cozy
dog toy
flower pot
picture frame mat
photograph of sunflower
tea towel
dish
title on video cassette jacket
vase
chip bag
dead leaf on plant
drawing of bees and dandelions
kitty eyes
lamp
how did you celebrate yellow pig day!?

not something you see every day!
today is NOT SOMETHING YOU SEE EVERY DAY! at the whimsey project! share your funny, surprising, interesting, unique experiences with us.
here's one.....
last night i returned home from visiting family. my friend, kathy, collected me from the train then drove me home. what we found in my bedroom was five kittens! when i left there were kittens in the garage. the evidence before us indiciated that while i was gone mama kitty moved them into the house. kathy and i sat on the bed and held them. oh, they are sooooooooo cute. cute or otherwise, they are going back outside today. having five kittens in the bedroom as a welcome home surprise isn't something you see every day!

thoughtful thursday
today i'm thinking about how success, and how it doesn't have to be huge and cast in broad strokes. it can be as "simple" as realizing a goal that we've set our hearts on achieving. which makes me think about the luna troop, a dance group founded by sarah heston. their mission was to return once-dancers to the joy of having dance in their lives, to nurture developing talent, and to share dance with an audience. they have achieved all of these goals, and then some, and it fulfills and makes each involved to do such. success, indeed!

whimsical wednesday
we're composing clerihew this whimsical wednesday! what is clerihew? it's a four line, two couplet poem; lightheartedly written about someone famous (who appears in the first line). our clerihews for whimsical wednesday can be about anyone or anything! here's mine:
a site on the net known as twitter
is filled with tweets that creates lots of chatter
some of them are clever
some just don't matter.

miscellaneous
the hummingbirds have returned to the feeders. the honeysuckle blossoms have faded, reducing the allure of those plants. i missed them, especially at the feeder that hangs inches from the dining room windows.
the wee duckling census is four. they grow larger each day. everyday they survive the perils of the wild, the larger they grow. the larger they grow, the more likely they will survive and enjoy adulthood. every day i cheer them on!
all of the ducks typically swim close to the bank of the lake and watch me scatter their food. when i am finished and walk back toward the house, they hop out of the lake to chow down. this morning it was as usual until i made noise the little ones didn't like. they were halfway across the lake in no time with mama quacking after them as fast as she could paddle!
mama raccoon continues to bring her four little ones to the maple tree looking for munchies. the munchies are there since munchies keep them out of the bird feeders. the little ones are so cute, scampering across the lawn to their destination.

whimsical wednesday
we are celebrating the beginning of summer this whimsical wednesday by participating in a favorite summer activity.
one of my most favorite summer activities is to watch the fireflies (or lightning bugs as we called them when we were children). as darkness falls this whimsical wednesday, i am looking forward to spending time watching the fireflies.
what favorite activity did you participate in to celebrate the arrival of summer?
