A 2 Z – 2026 – Bunch of B

I made this on my Kindle drawing app. Letter B in purple, orange background, and butterfly stamps all over

***

Last night I dreamed of bats circling around up in the sky. I don’t know why, but it might have been for a little conversation I had with a friend blogger about seeing buzzards at her place (thanks Vero!). Anyway, I did see buzzards one time here, lazily making circles in the sky. There must have been 20 or 30 of them. I tried taking a photo (see below) but they were far away and kind of blurry. So … Blurry Buzzards

Then still thinking of Bats, I don’t usually see them, but a couple of times I have. We lived in a place where every evening about sunset, I’d be looking out the back door to the place across the way, and out of their roof vents (?) would come a bunch of bats flying out.

Another time at another place we had a shared laundry room in a separate area. One neighbor came to alert all the residents that there was something making a racket in one of the washing machines. So we all went over to see. One lady was brave enough to put on gloves and look inside. There was a bat in there and couldn’t get out. (the washer was empty and not running). So she reached in and got him and let him fly free.

SOCS – Mugs

SOCS – Mugs

For Linda’s challenge:

The Friday Reminder and Prompt for #SoCS Oct. 26, 2024

***

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “mug.’” Use it any way you’d like. Have fun!

***

Here are a few of the coffee mugs we have. We tend to like the ones with pictures, or sayings on them, and also mugs from places we’ve been, or have some meaning for us.

Mugs are a pretty simple idea for gift giving, too. We always appreciate a new one.

I was thinking though, when did mugs become so popular? I know years ago my parents didn’t drink coffee from a mug, though in later years they did. On old TV shows and movies, they didn’t use mugs. They all had nice coffee ‘cups’ and saucers. Do people still do this, or is it all mugs all the time now? And I guess the difference is the shape and the amount of coffee/or tea each will hold.

I remember my granny always had her coffee in a cup, but then would pour it a little at at time into the saucer and sip from there. First though she’d blow on it to cool it down. We always called that ‘saucered and blowed’. Later on I found out that this is a pretty common saying and thing to do, especially in the older days gone by. I tried it once, and it was okay, but too easy to spill hot coffee on yourself.

This is my coffee cup. I drink my coffee from this midnight blue coffee cup with a white alien face on it. It also says Roswell New Mexico. That’s where I bought it when we visited Roswell and the UFO Museum. It’s kind of hard to see here, but on the midnight blue sky cup, there are tiny white stars. (click on photo to enlarge)

***

This is one of our coffee mugs we use every day. It is from Carlsbad Caverns, New Mexico, and has a picture of a blue flying bat, and the words in yellow, “Bats need friends too!” on a black background.

***

I got this mug as a gift one time. It had designs drawn on it that you were supposed to color in with the markers you got with the kit. It was fun to do.

I decided I’d painted enough on my coffee mug, so went ahead and finished up with the baking/setting of the colors.

***

This was another mug I painted. It was a plain white one. I painted the words Peace on one side, and Love on the other in blue. Then added some blue and yellow dots around the rim & bottom.

Bat on Google Noto Color Emoji

Among the hanging colony

There dwelled a little bat

He was a mighty hunter who

Nightly munched on gnats

He ate and ate, he could not stop

In fact he was about to pop

But instead he just got fat.

Cute little bat that used to play music when you pushed his belly

Stream of Consciousness Saturday – Cave

The Friday Reminder and Prompt for #SoCS May 9/2020

***

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “cave.” Use it as a noun or a verb. Enjoy!

***

For SOCS we have the word ‘cave’. Thanks for the prompt, Linda!

To join in, and also to see other entries, just click the above link. It’s fun. 🙂

***

Well, all the caves I can think of, and have actually been to visit, are Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico, and Inner Space Caverns in Georgetown, Texas. They are both awesome to see all the cave formations. It’s amazing how the beautiful structures are underground, and learn how they were formed, and discovered.

These photos are of a couple of things from the gift shop in Carlsbad. First is a silver charm for my bracelet, and it is a bat. The next photos are of a coffee mug that we use all the time. There is a picture of a flying bat, and it says “Bats Need Friends Too!”, and the name Carlsbad Caverns National Park.

I know I had some photos of Inner Space but can’t remember where they are. It was years ago when we went, and was before phone cameras were a normal thing to have with you.

***

And this is interesting … My parents took their honeymoon at Carlsbad Caverns! This was in August 1944, and I have the little souvenir booklet my mom filled out. It is leather with a tie/strap on the left. It is embossed with a picture of a Native American on a white horse in the middle, and says “Honeymoon Book”, and Carlsbad Cavern N. Mex.

Hope everyone is staying safe and having a wonderful weekend! 🙂

Poem # 25

“A Purple Panic”

As purple panic fuels your fear,

Hobgoblins are drawing near

Bats and banshees hover close

Ready to administer a frightful dose

Now purple panic has set in

The night of terror will begin

Hope you enjoy my thoughts about coffee. Thanks so much for coming by.

So, what’s to say about coffee?

I like coffee a lot. I start out the morning with a hot cup of it, with the Coffeemate French Vanilla cream flavoring powder. Sometimes I do get the liquid kind. I use half and half cream sometimes, too. Yum!

In the afternoon, I’ll have another cup of coffee, and then right before bed, I’ll have another. The caffeine doesn’t bother me at all, and in fact is so relaxing, it helps me sleep good. It’s always been this way.

Funny, I’ve never had one of those specialty kinds of coffee, like latte, espresso, or any of the many other kinds of coffee. I don’t even know what all they are called. I did have one tiny sip of espresso once. Never wanted another.

I like my coffee really hot, so have to keep warming it up. I haven’t wanted to try it iced or cold, but coffee ice cream is good.

Here’s my usual coffee mugs. Well, the one with the alien is mine. I bought that when we visited Roswell NM. I also use the red mug a lot. The one with the bat is my husband’s coffee mug. My daughter bought it for him when they visited Carlsbad Caverns NM.

The next photo is of my Keurig coffeemaker, and also my antique drip coffee pot, which makes excellent coffee. 🙂
