Thursday 13: A VERY Random Edition

Since we’ve had so much snow, and I’ve been staying inside so much (because I HATE snow), I don’t have much for a Thursday 13 this week.

So, it seems like a good time to share a very random assortment of pictures that I’m fairly sure I haven’t posted here before.

1.    Of course, I’m going to start off with a cat picture.  I think Mortimer looks adorable here.  

2. This was at a vacation rental that we stayed at in 2023.  I think these hand mirrors are antique (or at least vintage).  They were displayed on a wall in the bathroom, and I thought it was a great idea.  It seemed like a fun way to display a collection without really taking up space.


3.    I enjoy taking pictures of the sky, and I thought it was beautiful this particular evening.


4.    I’m not sure what these little white flowers are called, but I think they’re pretty.


5.   This hibiscus was at a vacation rental we stayed at in 2022.


6.  This was on vacation in 2021.  It was insanely humid that day, and the camera lens fogged, but I liked how it made the picture look kind of mysterious and moody.


7.  Theodore loves it when we get a suitcase out of the closet. 

8.    So does Mortimer.


9.    This was sunrise on Kiawah Island on our 2024 vacation.


10.  This was the first time I successfully built a cooking fire entirely on my own after Hurricane Helene.  I’m not the outdoorsy type, so it felt like a major accomplishment.


11.  This was when a possum stopped by the critter corner.


12.  This was one of the few beach pictures I took on vacation last year before we got sick.


13.  Finally, here's a flower picture that, according to the date stamp, I took on February 29, 2024. I'm trying to remind myself that the snow will melt and spring will eventually arrive! 


Are you also eagerly anticipating warmer weather?

    I can't wait to be able to walk outside again! I just won't do it until all the ice and snow are gone from our sidewalks, so it will probably be 3 more months, unless we get some 70 degree days. UGH! I love seeing beach pictures, any time of year. That was a really cool mirror display!

    Fun and interesting pictures. I had to look up where Kiawah Island is. Looks pretty. I'm tire of cold and snow. I would have a lot of adjusting to do if I moved north. :)

    I just love it when a cat goes on its back. Lizzie hasn't done that in ages apart for a total rollover. The suitcase photos made me smile!

    It's always fun to go through the archives. Spring will be here before you know it. (I will not talk about the weather. I will not talk about the weather. I will not talk about the weather.)

    You took some great photos. I especially love those of the cats, as always!

    I am not an outdoors person and certainly not an outdoors winter person. On days I that I put on my boots and coat and step foot out the door - I am so proud of myself.

    That was some pretty wonderful randomness, Danielle. :)

    Yes, we are most definitely ready for spring. We're going down to zero overnight, and wind chills are at minus 20. :(
