The Answer

 Here is the answer to what my net photo really is. It's a backyard sports practice net. I was so glad that most of you did not know what it is, just like me!!


It is used for pitching practice, fielding drills, etc.

The dome shape keeps it stable and gives a big catching surface.

Mystery Net

 A few blocks away, we happened to pass this in front of a house. I honestly had no idea what it is, but I bet you do. Let's see if there are any others who are as clueless as I am. The answer on my next post.

Day Of Mass Confusion

 Just a reminder to set your clocks forward one hour this Saturday. I dove into my photo snap files for some timely shots.








Oh great, another chance to misplace an entire hour.

Ah yes, the international day of mass confusion.

Two Birthdays

 Last week, we had two birthdays on the same day! Our granddaughter Jazz and her mom. Jazz loves building things and wants to be an architect. So we usually get her Legos and puzzles. They are too hard for me! These ones were so cute!




While she was building, we watched some more of the movie Cruella with Emma Stone. One of both her and my favorite movies. I have seen it at least three times.


Our daughter-in-law Melissa. She got a moka pot coffee maker and gift card to Amazon.


Father & son on the computer.


Anne Marie was home from college, too!


Here we are.


Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.

The Answer

 I really don't have to post the tire cover answer, because all of you knew!! I wonder how long it would have taken me to figure it out if I had not researched it? And you know those pictures that have something hidden behind them? If you squint and stare you are supposed to see it. Not me. Not ever! But I digress. Three cheers for the beautiful sea turtle!

Tell Me What You See

 We were driving behind this car with a pretty wheel cover. I really liked the colors. It looks a bit like a Mandela. But I could not make heads or tails of it. I had to come home and do some research. SO, do you see what I did not? I guess it looks more visible in a photo.



I can't believe I missed this! I'm still trying to think of something to blame it on. Answer and more pics on my next post.

The Cow Who Could Read

 Did you know that today (March 2nd) is "Read Across America Day"? And the Big Cow knows it! He wants everyone else to learn to read.




The first “Read Across America Day” was held on March 2nd, 1998. It was set to coincide with the birthday of Dr. Seuss.


In 1954, Dr. Seuss (Theodor Geisel)  wrote The Cat in the Hat using the 236 words that were deemed important for first-graders to learn. He had just found out that children weren’t reading much because they found most children’s books boring.

“Reading is the moment the alphabet stops marching and starts dancing.”
