It's been a good week in my world.
You?

I did, however, buy 3 peaches at the grocery store the other day.  All excited (as they are my favorite fruit), I cleaned one and bit into it like an apple and was like, "What are you?  You don't taste like a peach AT ALL.  You taste ---uh,  flavorless."

From here on out -- while peaches are still in season-- gonna totally do the sniff test.
If it doesn't smell like a peach -- won't taste like one either.
101 peach lesson learned from Cheryl and passing it along.  Ha!

Yay and Hooray - end of week has found us and we get a little window of weekend time to chill and relax.
Do you have any special plans other than just enjoying the weekend?

Me? Nope.
Weekend Spirit and Friday Vibes make me smile and totally put a pep in my step!

Did ya happen to do the Amazon Prime Super Duper deals shopping this Wednesday and Thursday this week?
I did. Nothing all that exciting. But exciting to me.
Great deals on things like replacement filters for my little air purifier, shock/chlorine for the pool, a new pair of tennis shoes (yep, white! My sisters love to tease me about my white tennis shoes choice for many, many years - ha) and a new upright fan for the living room - old one just plum wore out.
That's it - feel like I totally scored with the discounts!

Presenting 5 for Friday this July 19.

BEGINNING WITH:

STACY'S WORLD
Super cool/humor/informative column.
Always!
And we all walk away knowing a little couple of somethings we didn't know before!
And the whole potato info in this column is greatness!
Totally awesome, brilliantly written.
Thanks, Stac!

How's the daylight saving time working out for you Day 2?  Adjusted to it all the way yet?  It takes me two or three days to adjust/embrace it all the way because I, for whatever reason, play this little game with myself -- Well, it's 12:00 but it's really 11:00 or vice versa when the fall comes and we fall back.  Weird?  I don't know - not to me anyway.  Anybody else play this Daylight Saving Game for a day or two?

By the way, I'm totally late to the proper name of Daylight Saving Time.  I've always referred to it as Daylight Savings Time.  Won't anymore now that I know.

Collected these today for inspiration + information + fun + and recipes worthy of a looksy.

BEGINNING WITH:

PHOTOS OF FORGOTTEN THINGS
That will instantly be recognizable to "Boomers".  There's something bouncing around in my memory box right now wondering, Did I already put this in a previous episode months ago or were you just thinking about it, Cheryl?  Unsure - nonetheless, a fun walk down memory lane for those of us who know have earned the title of "Boomer".  My favorite take-aways from the piece were Tang (was never a big Kool-Aid fan as a kid, but I sure loved Tang), Columbia House member (hand raised here!).  Carbon paper sets for a manual typewriter - yep, used them.
The entire list is a super blast from the past.

PICTURES OF A FOREST PATH
Well, I chose #5 because I it was really pretty and wasn't a little foreboding to me like a couple of the other path choices.  (I've probably watched or worked on too many shows where paths like those were creepy - caution tape - stuff.  Ha.)  Not sure that I agree with the "personality traits" that my choice of a forest path reveals about me... but it was a fun little quiz thing.

CLEVER HUMOROUS LICENSE PLATES
Were just that -- Clever and Humorous.  And, yes, while sitting in traffic I do enjoy spotting a license plate like one of these.

I totally love Tips for a Beautiful Life.  Truth, for sure.  I'm gonna strive to do every one -- each day.  Just can't be that hard.  Mind Set.

Leslie Elman's Fascinating Facts is always ... Fascinating.  Brown paper bags ...

Truly try the Mud Pie recipe.  It's a summertime treat.

Riddle Me This Answer is wonderful!  I won't forget that one -- ever.

Tracy Beckerman is such a fun writer!  Slice of Life I can totally identify with.

The post WEDNESDAY READER | AUGUST 9 appeared first on DayMaker Readable Art.

Gotta keep reminding myself that February is traditionally one of the coldest month's here in my neck of the world.

Spring will come quick enough.  In the mean time, I can look through catalogs for seeds and magazines for cool ideas and make garden plans (large + small + containers) with pen and paper.  That's my plan.  How about you?

Thanks for being here!
