The biggest surprise in my life, when I found out I had a girl.....There was only 1 girl among the kids my brothers and sisters had so we were shocked to find out we had had a girl

Pretty poppies

Nice thread, love the tooth fairy picture!! So cute about the bone, Allison! Marilyn - that really is a beautiful mushroom! We have never seen so many shrooms along the lake where we walk as there are this year. Thankfully, the girls are just passing them by w/out any interest! Celeste and Jen - I have had one glad make it through the winter here, but I never got them in this year at all. My surprise? ....that I can actually type a bit with my little finger! lol

Denville, NJ(Zone 6b)

I am guessing she dropped the bone in while trying to drink from my mug Jen.. LOL think you got it right

New Hampshire, NH(Zone 5b)

That must've been a large cup of coffee!

Denville, NJ(Zone 6b)

I guess I'm used to the nylabones my late German Shephard used to eat. :)

Thomaston, CT

That is too funny, Allison! Pixie, I love the white poppies. They really glow....Louise, it is a great year for mushrooms. Hope my dogs also pass them by....I caught Robs with an apple that dropped from the tree.....he wouldn't give it to me, & they make him sick!

I have friends coming in two weeks and I have to do major cleaning. I was going through the bookcase that houses my boxes and tins of beads. (Long story as to how there came to be this many . . .) I moved in the is house 7 or 8 years ago and was missing a favorite necklace - thought I had looked everywhere for it. Darn if I didn't open a tin and find that necklace tonight! Yay! I found several other necklaces that I had forgotten about, too.

Denville, NJ(Zone 6b)

I know that one.. put it in a safe place so you don't loose it.. and have no idea where it is

Thomaston, CT

Happens here regularly!

We say "The Wood Nymphs have been here again!" when something goes missing.

I blame it on the cats.

Celeste - I put the cat with sunglasses you gave me on the floor and Wallingford started sneaking up on it. He wasn't sure if it was another cat or not. Haha!

South China, ME(Zone 5a)

LOL Wish I was a fly on the wall to see that!!!

Denville, NJ(Zone 6b)

LOL

I was pretty funny. He had his tail cocked at the angle where he could put it straight up and do Halloween kitty at any moment.
