There once was a baseball batter

Who wanted to hit the ball better

But try as he might

Hit the ball out of sight

He fumbled the bat like bitter butter.

Or something like that.

Have a fun weekend! 🙂

Farewell, farewell little snail

Funny & Found -aw aw aw aw Stupid

***

I always declare it ‘awesome’ when I find things like these …

I’m forever buying used notebooks, diaries, scrapbooks, yearbooks, and finding fun things in them.  I also find other things that are funny, or it’s funny where I find them.

I find people’s discarded grocery lists, too, along with whole photo albums, cards and letters.

I just like finding things like these, because I try to imagine who wrote them, why something was discarded, and what the people’s stories are.

So, I’ll post a few of these from time to time.

***

You can click photo to enlarge:

Here’s a page from a little used notebook that I bought at a yard sale. I’m sure it belonged to a kid. They didn’t write much in it, though.

This one was in a lilac and light blue notebook with flowers on it. The page is lined, and a big red letter W was scribbled on it, with the word ‘stupid’. The only writing in ink was the top line saying, ‘aw aw aw aw aw aw’.

SOCS – Chickens & Eggs

SOCS – Chickens & Eggs

 

For Linda’s challenge:

 

The Friday Reminder and Prompt for #SoCS June 29, 2024

***

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “chicken or egg.” Use the “which came first” conundrum in your post, whether about the chicken and the egg or about a real-life situation that fits the question. Or just talk about chickens and eggs! Enjoy!

***

Who really knows which came first, the chicken or the egg? Who really knows why the chicken crossed the road? Why are chickens so funny?

I think chickens are funny. Some are funny looking, and some do funny things, and sound funny, too. I smile when I see a chicken, either real or a toy one.

Here’s some things about chickens my cousin raises, plus some photos of chickens and eggs.

***

***

My cousin, Mike, raises exotic chickens.

He pretty much makes pets of them all, and collects their eggs to sell.

The first photo shows a large black & white chicken with an elaborate all black feathery head-dress. He calls this one Silver. I think it is a Polish Silver breed of chicken.

The next photo is Mike holding Silver.

The next photo is another kind of chicken he is holding. He calls this one Houdie. Could be because it is a breed of chicken called Houdan.  It is a large black and white chicken, with it’s head-dress of feathers of black & white.

Very cool chickens! 🙂
