A Trip to the Farm

A Few Little Things for Today

A dark brown horse with white forehead - horse is named "Blackie"

A nice horse. What more can I say – it’s a horse in a field. A fairly familiar sight around these parts.

Snowbirds in flight - red planes against a blue sky.

Back in June we had an airshow down at our waterfront, featuring the snowbirds. It was a blast – noisy and fun.

The "After Christmas" Card

I managed to get really behind sending Christmas cards this past Christmas, so I decided to send out the “After Christmas” card instead. It actually worked pretty well. People were happy to get a cheerful card in January when they weren’t expecting it

Goslings - Baby Geese

A batch of baby geese from the spring of this year (2009)

Server Crashed!

The one place where I’ve hosted some of the images has had a major crash. The most recent batches uploaded to this blog, as you can see below, are currently missing. Sorry folks. As soon as they’ve got the server loaded and running, those will be available again.

In the meantime, I’ve uploaded a couple of new ones here.

Birds-Foot Fern Wildflower

A discarded water bottle on the beach.

Match Sticks

Vintage Sewing Basket

Canadian Bills in a Roll

A Mix of Miscellany from the Past

A batch of funky vintage hats – mens and ladies.

Two Hula Dancers - male and female

A couple of hula dancers – these knick-knacks were really popular during the 1950s and seem to be making a come-back.  This is the first time I’ve seen a male hula dancer, though.

Today’s kids learn to play digital games, but back when I was a kid, board games were all the rage, and they too appear to be making a come-back. This game (snakes and ladders) has been around from the victorian times, but young children still enjoy it.

This car probably needs no introduction – The General Lee from the Dukes of Hazzard.

A vintage pottery jug – while it resembles the “little brown jug” , this one is quite large.  So large you certainly wouldn’t want to heft this on your shoulder to drink from.

Give them an inch and they’ll take a foot…or a bunch of feet. Here’s a mix of measuring tapes and rulers from a variety of time periods – from metal tape mesures, to plastic to a wooden yard stick.

“Food” for Thought

Please remember to follow the terms of use.

A common spread of summer fare: coldcuts, ham, cheese, biscuits, bread, egg salad, tuna, pickles, cantaloupe, watermelon, grapes, carrots – healthy foods for a quick summer meal.

Yummy pumpkin pie – good for anytime of the year, but a clear reminder of Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Goodness from the garden – carrots, onion, potato and tomato

Sweet and fresh – fruit is the healthy desert. Banana, pear, apple, grapes and melon varieties.

Snack time foods – bits of cereal and pretzels: spicy and salty.

The humble potato – healthy, nutritious and a true diet staple the world over.

Breakfast, the most important meal of the day? In some cases, perhaps also the most harmful: fried bacon, french toast, breakfast home fries, and sweet pastries.

Cucumbers: garden fresh and refreshing.
