if there was ever a time to wonder.....
being careful not to make a blunder
is when i am most apt to over wonder and mistake.

trivia tuesday
trivia tuesday at the whimsey project! our day to share all manner of trivia; factual or experiential. all welcome. bring it on!
we are at the time of year when america focuses on the end of the civil war. my trivia is from this event. the word deadline. andersonville in georgia was a prison for captured union soldiers. within the walls was a perimeter of posts. these posts, about five feet from the walls, was the line prisoners could not cross or they would be shot. the line became known as the deadline.

solitude sunday
solitude sunday at the whimsey project. our day to spend time with a book. any book will do, however, consider those books that have been waiting a long time to be read. share your book with the whimsey project.
this week i have been reading "wildflowers of tennessee (the ohio valley and the southern appalachians) edited by horn, cathcart, hemmerly and duhl. it is the official field guide of the tennessee native plant society. while the majority of the book is photographs and descriptions of plants, the introduction was very enlightening. i especially learned much reading about the geological terrains of the state of tennessee and how the variances influence the growth of the wildflowers.

miscellaneous monday at the whimsey project! our day to share something about everything. your tidbits are welcomed so give us your miscellaneous!
i've read about rosa's fresh pizza in philadelphia in several publications of late. mason wartman opened a pizza shop in 2013, selling pizza for one dollar a slice. he discovered that even at one dollar a slice there were those in the neighborhood that couldn't afford to buy his pizza. however, he never turned away a customer for lack of funds. one day a customer asked to pay for a slice for someone else so they could eat. mason agreed and that's how the shop became filled with colorful sticky notes. one note turned into more than 10,000 since then. the first one was put on the wall and others followed suit. no one is unable to eat at rosa's fresh pizza. anyone can pull a sticky note off the wall and use it to pay for a dollar slice of pizza. there should be a rosa's fresh pizza shop in every community all over the country!

another borrowed book (it's interesting to be away from home and read what others have on their bookshelves). st louis: then and now by elizabeth mcnulty. lots of photographs and lots of history about the city of my birth. dredd scott, the arch to mark the gateway to the west, scott joplin, the 1904 world's fair that later became forest park filled with amazing treasures (the jewel box being my favorite), fried ravioli, and what high school did you go to? that's the st louis i knew and the st louis i found in st louis: then and now.

whimsical wednesday
whimsical wednesday should be a busy day! we are celebrating the birthday of sliced bread (1954). also, it's also national fun day. fun day can be described by a word i recently learned: gammock! gammock means a piece of fun, a game, a jest, a frolic, antics or tricks. perhaps this is from which april fool's day originated. have a fun day with sliced bread and a game or frolic or antics. we'll leave tricks to others. share your fun with the whimsey project!
