Hello Linda
ReplyDeleteThe one that says "Excuse me...the squirrel ate all our birdseed." made me laugh. It's quite true the squirrels do their best to eat the bird seed.
Thanks again for such a great and wide selection in your post.
Lovely photographs, the sky is a wonderful colour.
Good wishes for the remainder of Wednesday and the days ahead.
All the best Jan
..."I meant to behave but there were too many other options." Isn't that the truth and squirrels ate the birdseed! some lovely art this evening. Tnaks Linda.
ReplyDeleteSiempre es bueno sonreir. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteDear Linda, thank you for sharing your two photos of the beautiful sunset. I haven't been able to take any photos of sunrise and sunset so far because I think u must wait patiently for the right time of the day to take these photos. Thanks again. 💕
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, how did you make the poster for your scrambled eggs recipe? Looks so professionally done 👍🏻 I love to eat eggs with all sorts of cheese. Yummy 😋🤤
ReplyDeleteHi dear Mun, none of the images on my blog are my own except for the photos I take myself or that are ones that are shared with my by my family/cousins. I found this on the internet and thought it looks great so I decided to post it here.
Deletemorning greetings from kuala lumpur. i got meeting in the afternoon so will be in the office by 2pm. for today, i choose this quote: Don't wait for reasons to be grateful...be grateful and you will see reasons all around you.! i'm loving your sunset pics! so amazing. take care dear linda
ReplyDeleteNever knew wolves liked watermelons!
ReplyDeleteOh, I just love all the wonderful cat memes and art on your post tonight! And I enjoyed listening to "Tu t'en vas" (a song I have not heard before) -- a sad song of heartbreak but very beautifully performed. I looked up the French lyrics to it so I could follow it along better. And P.S. I enjoyed that other French song you sent me too! Thanks for expanding my vocabulary and musical appreciation!
ReplyDeleteWhat a marvellous concoction of humour and wisdom and all things nice. 🧡 "Possibilitarian" -- great ! Thank you so much for your post, dear Linda 🌹
ReplyDeleteSome lovely quotes as always, Linda. I love your sunset photos, too.
ReplyDeleteYour photos of the sky are beautiful, and so is your post—thank you. hugs Elke
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful sunset sky! Nice photo.
ReplyDeleteStart each day with a positive mindset and may each day be filled with a good mood and good vibes. Be grateful every day and surely good things will come our way.
Good morning, Linda! Seeing all the sweet kitties on your post always make me smile :) Beautiful skies! And thank you so much for your valuable advice on my blog. Hugs ♥
ReplyDeleteQuel merveilleux concentré de bonne humeur !
ReplyDeleteJ'ai adoré les petites pépites d'humour, les belles citations et tes superbes photos du ciel.
Un grand merci pour ce rendez-vous si chaleureux qui remonte le moral. Douce journée à toi.
Un blog davvero originale, che ho visitato con molto piacere.
ReplyDeleteCari saluti
I love the baby duck rescue.
ReplyDeleteThe first meme is so cute and it made ma chuckle! I have been looking for cottage cheese for some recipe but no luck and I see cottage cheese in the recipe you shared today. I wonder what other cheese can substitute for cottage cheese. Your photos of the sunset is lovely. It is raining very heavily right now.
ReplyDeleteLovely cats, and beautiful sunset, Linda!
ReplyDeleteDearest Linda,
ReplyDeleteWhen I come and visit you here, in your so beautiful corner of the web, I loose myself in everything you post: first of all by reading all the meaningful and inspiring quotes with which your work start with, and then watching at your stunning shots of the sunset I so love. And then I finish with a bright smile on my face after watching the videos you share, thank you for being such a kindhearted lady, my Friend!
May the sun of joy always shine for you
XO Daniela @ ~ My little old world ~
Hello Linda,
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy the inspiring words and quotes. Pretty sky photos.
Take care, enjoy your day!
A wonderful collection, Linda. Leonard Cohen's words especially stayed with me: sometimes it is precisely through the cracks that we discover the light we couldn't see before. Thank you for another thoughtful and uplifting post. 😊
ReplyDeleteThey are 'art', Linda, your photos!
ReplyDeleteFantastic gag!
Lie(f)s.
Lovely skies.
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful quotes these are again, Linda.
ReplyDeleteThe sunset photos are also truly beautiful.
All the best, Irma
Enjoyed this post and videos . Have a blessed day.
ReplyDeleteI cannot remember when was the last time I saw a nice sunset.
ReplyDeleteGood morning! I liked the ones about taking time to notice beauty and enjoy the world around us. It struck me because I just came from my morning walk and it was so beautiful out there this morning.
ReplyDeleteI love the cow painting - made me smile and I'm intrigued by the scrambled eggs with cottage cheese.
As you might expect, each and every cat meme and art was my favorite!
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy these little collections of thoughts, humour and beautiful images. A lovely mix of positivity and little moments to brighten the day. :-)
ReplyDeleteKisses
Krásne obrázky, vtipné i moudré citáty. Mnoho pozdravů posílám z České republiky.
ReplyDeleteIt is always wonderful to stop by and enjoy everything you share with us.
ReplyDeleteBest regards.
Beautiful sunset photoos, Linda. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteBoa tarde minha querida amiga Linda. Suas reflexões são muito interessantes. A minha preferida é "Pessoas sábias nem sempre ficam.em silêncio, mais sabem quando devem ficar". Uma excelente tarde de quinta-feira, para você e todos os seus familiares no Canadá e um grande abraço do seu amigo carioca.
ReplyDeleteHola Linda yo tengo en casa un gato negro con sus ojos verdes se llama Blaki, mientras veía tus fotos y frases me he emocionado, gracias por compartir, un abrazo desde mi brillo del mar
ReplyDeleteIris Flavia (am in hospital and forgot my password): Great quotes, dear friend Linda. Love and hugs on the way
ReplyDeleteWonderful inspiration, dear Linda. Loved your photos!
ReplyDeleteThanks for teaching me the term "possibilitarian". I will be looking for the possibilities from now on.
ReplyDeleteI love the one about the cracks letting the light in. It's a wonderful way to look at it. I sometimes have to search for things to be grateful for. Some days, it's harder than others.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the various cat arts near where your videos began. They really made me smile when I was feeling a little down tonight. The baby duck video gave me mixed feelings, but I was happy to here that the man was working with wildlife experts. I hope the duck did have a happy life after they were released.
ReplyDeleteYes, think three times before you post on Facebook. And then think three more. You can definitely talk yourself out of posting on Facebook ;)
ReplyDeleteYou know I love all of the cats!! Always a sweet visit here, Linda!! xo
ReplyDeleteThey are very nice photos of a soft sunset.
ReplyDeleteI so understand this post "Excuse me...the squirrel ate all our birdseed." I have a feeder outside my window and the birds will walk along the deck rail up to my window and peck on the screen to get my attention whenever the seed is empty, they have even made a small hole in the screen. Pretty pictures of your sunset!
ReplyDeleteStop chasing the wrong one. The right one won't run. - Alfa This is my favourite today. Lovely sunset!
ReplyDeleteI like that picture of the cat admiring himself in the mirror. Isn't that just like a cat would do!!
ReplyDeleteI hope your week is going well💗
Morning greetings from Kuala Lumpur. Today is a sunny day, and the haze is improving; hopefully it will be gone soon. For today, I choose this quote: Every day is a new beginning. Treat it that way. Stay away from what might have been and move on. Don't let negative words or actions of others affect your smile. Decide that today is going to be a good day. take care dear linda
ReplyDeleteThank you for the much-needed lift.
ReplyDeleteBello trabajo este que nos brindas, amiga.
ReplyDeleteUn saludo.
I love that first one! "I meant to behave but there were too many other options. :)"
ReplyDeleteGood quotes Linda, your sunset photo are lovely, pretty soft colours there. Just for Laughs was funny, and the music ones lovely too.
ReplyDeleteTake care. Smile through bloggers faults..lol
Prima citáty! Zdravím a děkuji za návštěvu na mém blogu!
ReplyDeleteHanka
I love the ginger kitty looking at himself in the mirror and saying "good morning, handsome." That's exactly what he should say.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Great pictures, videos and aphorisms. This is what I especially like:
ReplyDelete"Don't wait for reasons to be grateful...be grateful and you will see reasons all around you."
Have a nice weekend Linda!
Loving the art work with the cats. There are some very talented artists out there.
ReplyDeleteYou have THE most encouraging posts, love them! "Stay away from what might have been, and move on". I don't need a shrink, I have Linda! Thank you for the positive vibes. I mean it. xx
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing these lovely pictures and inspiring quotes, Linda!
ReplyDeleteLinda, thank you for your post. It’s made my afternoon much better.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from the Czech Republic. Jitka
Du hast wieder sehr gute Zitate für uns gefunden. Ich lese sie sehr gern.
ReplyDeleteYou always have such wise words of wisdom. I love the handsome cat in the mirror. I had a handsome guy like him at one time. (And I still miss him). And it is true, people hurt you not because you are you, but because they are just not people you need to be around. Have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteI liked the encourage mint, and about wise people and silence.
ReplyDeleteLoving the encourag-mint! such a cute drawing to go with it too hehe
ReplyDeleteLinda great post filled with such wonderful words of wisdom and gorgeous art and your beautiful photos of the sunset...adorable duck video and seeing that white wolf eating watermelon made me think of my two GSD's who enjoy bite of watermelon too. Have a lovely weekend friend - Hugs!
ReplyDeleteBom dia, Linda
ReplyDeleteÓtimas frases e fotos. O primeiro vídeo dos pássaros cantando é muito engraçado. Que bom que o homem encontrou o patinho solitário e salvou a sua vida. Um forte abraço.
I haven’t made eggs in a long time, don’t ask me why, but that recipe with the addition of the cottage cheese is interesting. I will often have cottage cheese for one reason or other, have some leftover, and then never know what to do with it.
ReplyDeleteDisfrute con la lectura de las frases que nos dejaste en esta ocasión, al igual que esas fotos en las que pudiste captar un bonito cielo.
ReplyDeleteLos videos geniales el de la broma, el del lobo comiendo sandía supongo refrescándose ( mi padre también tuvo perros que comían fruta) y el video de la canción llamada Vizcaya creo que no lo grabaron en la costa vizcaína.
Saludos.
Míchaná vajíčka s tvarohem - takový recept neznám. Tvaroh používáme na více způsobů, ale takhle s vejci...
ReplyDeleteVždy se tady najde něco zajímavého. Měj se, Lindo.
You certainly did brighten my day, Linda. I am going to try the recipe for my morning eggs. Thank you for sharing it with us. Such lovely sunset photos The clouds in shades of pinks and lilacs are so pretty. Have a wonderful weekend. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteMoc krásný blog a pěkné příspěvky. Dobré hlášky u kočiček ⚛ ღ ♥
ReplyDeleteDear Linda, I always love your cat posts. I am delighted to see one of Terry Runyan's paintings here, she's a wonderful (cat) artist. I learned a lot from her.
ReplyDeleteThe bird asking for more birdseed is cute!
ReplyDeleteawwww, that cow and her calf - so cute!!!!
ReplyDeleteMy newsfeed isn't showing any recent blogs from anyone I follow 😡
ReplyDeleteLove the sunset photos.
And the little bird saying that the squirrel ate it's seed. Everyone needs to eat. 🐿️🐦⬛🐦
I love the paintings! Vavasseur's cats are so beautiful. I love his black and white cats best.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy your posts. As a cat lover, I think they are perfect.
ReplyDeleteOi, Linda! Adoro vir ao teu blog. Você gosta das coisas de que também gosto! Gatinhos, mensagens positivas e fotos do entardecer! Um abraço! (●ˇ∀ˇ●)
ReplyDeleteBuen fin de semana. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteExcellent post
ReplyDeletethe squirrel one made me smile and those sunset photos are gorgeous
ReplyDeletei also like the reminder to slow down and actually notice what’s around us...
Mi piace leggere i tuoi post, Purtroppo Blogger non aggiornai blog e si perdono alcune cose,
ReplyDeleteBuon fine settimana, un abbraccio

"If you feel hurt by people, you must keep in mind that they are not hurting you because you are you. They are doing it because they are them." Very well!!!
ReplyDeleteGosto do modo como edificas os teus Posts. Criativos e preciosos no seu conteúdo.
ReplyDeleteBeijo,

Beautiful sunset
ReplyDeleteHi Linda - I could not find an email address for you, so I'll thank you for your comment on my blog right here on your sweet blog!
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting!. I think cleaning and organizing is a gift. One of my daughter's friends charges $400 to help women organize their houses, so look at what a talent you have! I see by your Blogger Profile we have a movie in common - The Sound of Music. My husband and I went to see it 5 times when we were dating - lol! We know the words to every song and much of the dialogue. You'd think I would be sick of it, but I am transfixed every time I see a clip of it or see that it is on TV.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Such good quotes and art work. I like the ones about hurting people.
ReplyDeleteYou are right about Blogger! Do you think it will get fixed? Anyway, was a good time to scroll my follow list and delete inactive blogs - soooo many of them....sad face. O.k. I love this weeks positivity posts. Yes, I had to keep my mouth shut this week and was like..."I can't believe I was able to do that" - I must be growing wiser.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy how you gathered such an uplifting mix of quotes, gentle humor, and inspiring reflections, and the way you paired them with your peaceful sunset photos creates a calming space that feels warm and encouraging while the collection of artwork, videos, and thoughtful messages offers a lovely reminder to slow down, notice beauty, and appreciate the small moments that brighten the day.
ReplyDeletegood post, thanks
ReplyDeleteSuper l'humour anglais, les beaux chats, l'omelette au fromage, et tellement de belles choses ! J'avoue que je n'en publie pas autant !
ReplyDeleteMerci de votre visite .
There is still something wrong with blogspot. It stopped showing me new posts!!!! Today I decided to go through the blogs one by one.
ReplyDeleteWonderful quotes and beautiful art. I love your photographs too!
ReplyDeleteIf you're not seeing the beauty around you, you might be walking too fast.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the above ... so true!!! I am so happy I have slowed down in my life. I use to go and go. Finally, I realized I was doing too much and needed to slow it down.
Thank you for your beautiful posts each week.
Carla
Encourage -mint!! I love it!! I also think I know that kitty that meant to be good, but had other options! Haha!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the great inspiration! I love the kitties! Blogger is at it again, I'm not seeing new posts. Sorry if I missed some of yours.
ReplyDeleteThink once before you act, twice before you speak and three times before you post on Facebook - loved this!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty sky pictures!
Have a great weekend!
Options for sure 😂
ReplyDeleteHave s good weekend!
May
Bonitas frases querida Linda, adorei as imagens dos artistas e suas fotos. Beijos
ReplyDeleteDesejo um fim de semana maravilhoso a você, que, assim como eu, ama os animais.

Hi I clicked on the Feedly link and got this. Feed not found
ReplyDeleteWrong feed URL or dead feed
Thank you for letting me know. I will see if I can remove it and enter it again.
DeleteDon't wait for reasons to be grateful...be grateful and you will see reasons all around you. This is very true.
ReplyDeleteAlso I like the Energy Artist Picture of the flower. And the cow.
Morning greetings from Kuala Lumpur. It's Sunday today, and I cooked fried rice for my family's breakfast, then sent my son to tuition. How's your Sunday, dear Linda? Take care and have a nice day!

ReplyDeleteOla,
ReplyDeleteAdorei as postagens. Os gatinhos são umas fofuras

ReplyDeleteTodo me gusta, gracias por ello. Que tengas un feliz día.
ReplyDeleteThat was a beautiful sunset, Linda. I hope you're doing well and wish blogger could fix these issues we are having. Thank you for all your tips to work around the issues. I really appreciate that. I hope you are having a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the lovely post 💗 And warm greetings from Finland 🤗🤍
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for making me smile. I'm in the middle of my tiny tropical fish falling to a parasite. :( My efforts to heat the tank and kill it off came too late for all the sick, I fear. Hugs and best wishes, my dear.
ReplyDeleteA lot of positivity on this post, Linda! I like that little encourage mint.
ReplyDeleteThis was one of my favorite posts of yours. So many great vquotes like Leonard Cohen's about the ight gettingin through the cracks, and the one above that about being a possibilitarian, just to name a few All the cat art ones were also great, and I loved your sky pictures you took.
ReplyDeleteLove the "encourage mint!" ha ha ha
ReplyDeletei love sunset more than sunrise. really lovely!
ReplyDeleteThe quote by Karen Salmansohn really applies because it happened to me and I have to keep this is mind. I like the photos you took, lovely sunset.
ReplyDeleteAnother winner. You have a talent for mining internet funnies.
ReplyDelete
