Ron Rybs For some reason I find it funny that being surrounded by water, ships have pools!

Cozy things.

Judy Story @jstory07 (142896) • Roseburg, Oregon 1 Apr

Things that keep you cozy. A nice warm blanket so soft to the touch. A cuddle with your spouse or a child. A nice fire place. How about hot chocolate or hot coffee. Your home all warm. A nice soft hoodie.

Look at the colors.

Judy Story @jstory07 (142896) • Roseburg, Oregon 1 Apr

Look at the colors. Look at the ocean blue. Look at the green grass. Look at the sun so bright and yellow. Look at the bright red tomato. Do you like the colors. I do. Mostly bright and beautiful to look at. My favorite are...

A dusty car and going out for morning tea

Judy Evans @JudyEv (349690) • Rockingham, Australia 1 Apr

Can you see the red dust on our friend's pale pink Toyota Yaris? We're house-sitting at the end of a dirt road and the shape of her car seems to pull the dust. Our friend has been with us for four days and it’s been good to spend...

Ron Rybs Was that because of a dust storm or had the car been sitting for a while?

Sucking people in

Judy Evans @JudyEv (349690) • Rockingham, Australia 31 Mar

The photo has little to do with the discussion. It's a wreath made up of native Australian flora. We live in a lifestyle village and have a Facebook page for the 150+ residents. With so many elderly people living there, there...

Judy Story @jstory07 (142896) • Roseburg, Oregon 30 Mar

At least the rain is not coming down fast like it was when it flooded. But it is still raining and is suppose to rain all week. I still like the rain any day over the snow since snow is dangerous. Today I cleaned the whole...
