Weekly Photo Challenge: Numbers

Recipe for a Happy Kitchen

This photo challenge was a tough one, I discovered I really don’t think in numbers and don’t really have things with numbers around me except clocks and calendars. However, I do have this print in my kitchen of a recipe and recipes are one thing I do go by the numbers. Here is the text of the Happy Kitchen print:

Happy Kitchen

4 cups Love
2 cups of Loyalty
3 cups of Forgiveness
1 cup of Friendship
5 spoons of Hope
2 spoons of Tenderness
4 quarts of Faith
1 barrel of Laughter

Take love and loyalty, mix it thoroughly with faith.
Blend it with tenderness, kindness and understanding.
Add friendship and hope, sprinkle abundantly with laughter.
Bake it with sunshine. Serve generously daily.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Water

Ducks on Blue Water Pond
Back to Blue Water Swimming

I rounded a curve in the pond and took this picture of the ducks starting off swimming.  From this direction, the water has changed to reflecting cool blues, deep greens and charcoals from the sky and trees.

I loved the turquoise blue glass beads of this weeks featured item  with the gold swallow (top right corner item) which leant itself to choosing lovely bird and woodland items with a couple bunnies snuck in too!
