1956 Calvert Whiskey Ad

Happy PINK Saturday to everyone! I stumbled upon a copy of a 1956 Life magazine and found these three ads that all have PINK. :0) Don't you just love that Pink typewriter!? And what about that washing machine!? My scanner isn't hooked up right now but I promise to scan these in a few weeks so you can have a much better piece to use in your artwork. :0)

Singing In The Night…

Chuck-Will's-Willow

Almost any evening I have the pleasure of listening to at least one of these guys sing their song. :0) Some are so close that I know if my eyes would just focus at the right spot I might catch a glimpse of him!

The Chuck-will’s-widow is the largest of the North American Nightjars. It derives its name from its distinctive call, which some mistake for its more well-known cousin, the Whip-poor-will.

During a bright, moon-lit night, the male may call its name several thousand times between dusk and dawn. The genus name is a Latin form of the Greek words meaning “goat milker.” The Greeks believed they flew in the fields to take milk from the goats during their nightly activities.

How about that!? I like reading about how things are interpreted through the ages.

I hope everyone has had a great week! Please visit again tomorrow for PINK Saturday. :0)

Happy PINK Saturday everyone! Excuse my late posting! I'm your classic insomiac and have been rising early all week for the carpenters to work on the window installations. So I've had very little sleep this week. I layed down early evening to take a NAP and I woke up this morning..LOL I do feel much better today! YAY

So here we go....down the PINK kitchen path. :0) Hope you enjoy looking! And by all means make it a great day for yourself. Please be sure to visit our lovely host, Beverly over at How Sweet the Sound for the complete list of PINK bloggers.

I love reading your sweet comments and visiting all of you. Visiting PINK bloggers has become a virtual circle of ongoing visits..I do enjoy it!

You must check out Kim Grant's blog. These mosaic artists are doing a bit of everything. I love this mosaic flower, don't you? Scroll down the page at her blog to see the fabulous kitchen backsplash they are working on. It would look so good in my kitchen!

The carpenters are here right now...cutting out the first wall in the great room to put in 10 feet worth of windows. We are gonna have a bunch of cedar siding and the tongue n groove wood they are cutting out...it'll be good for making bird feeders.

The Fox, the gray fox…

I wanted to share this photo of a Gray Fox that Thomas took a few weeks ago. It was probably 50 feet away under a tree at the corner of our property. We put out whole corn to feed whatever wildlife may show up. I'm still deciding on the right SLR digital camera..until then this is the best I can share. Do you own one of the SLR cameras? If so, leave me a comment as to make and model and how you like it.

I've provided a bit of information about the gray fox and I wanted to share the link to all the information about them if you'd like to learn more.

The medium-sized gray fox is blackish-gray above and reddish-brown below. This fox is a common inhabitant of the lower elevations in the park. Unlike the red fox, this species prefers forested areas. Heavily wooded swamps as well as rough, hilly terrain near streams and lakes provide ideal habitat. The gray fox is primarily nocturnal, and is active during all seasons. The gray fox is a tree-climbing fox. It often seeks refuge in a tree when being pursued. It is an opportunistic feeder and depends on seasonal food availability.

Have a great day,
the Queen of Dreamsz
