No explanation needed.

LOL ilikefriday and sue! I saw that one also and passed it on to a friend on an HOA board.

Not free but under $25

My latest silly-joyful thing is a whimsical set of Tarot Cards ... which I also bought for BFF. She pulled them out the other day when we went for drinks with friends and the friends have now ordered them also. One person plans to pull a card each morning with her coffee.

The book outlining the significance and guidance for each card is especially gentle and interesting ... so it is perfect for those of us who dabble ... and for those who are new to tarot.

@maire_cate, it took me a minute but when I caught on I literally laughed out loud! Thanks for the giggle!

@ilikefriday ”look on the bright side” was the comment that got me. My next door neighbors had cool white in one carriage light and warm white in the other. Should have slipped a note under the door ”We are a warm light community!”

Thanks for starting this, Lucille. Life has been heavy lately and any laugh or funny thing is appreciated. I wish I could remember what I saw recently that made me laugh out loud.

The other day I saw a license plate that said Sey Ah. An ENT, I’m guessing? Someday day Im going to have an accident while driving and trying to figure out what vanity plates mean!

I laugh every time I watch this video. Gives Monty Python killer bunny vibes. Can't imbed the video I guess because it's a reel.

Here's the link: Horse/bunny reel

(((Dedtired))), hope life's silly geese honk their way into your life soon.

Thanks, Lucille.

czarinalex, Ive seen that one before and think its the funniest thing

Here's the one that had me laughing so hard I couldn't breathe. I don't know why it hit my funny bone so hard. Be sure to turn on the sound.

My two three-year-old grandkids (one boy and one girl) they are definitely not productive and boy are they silly. When they are trying so hard to be serious or trying to give me a lecture about something it takes everything I have not to laugh out loud.

LOL ”who wants diabetes?”

The other night DH said he had a bad dream where he was somehow having a meeting with a well known political figure we despise. He woke up from the dream, disturbed and puzzled. Meanwhile, I was sleeping next to him having my own, very different dream, and in my sleep I said out loud ”…but will there be piglets?”

OK, often the last to figure things out, it's been several minutes, and marie_cate, I'm still clueless......Love the Monty Python refereced video though and 'who wants diabetes!

Me, too, Indigo Rose. Clueless!

I adore this woman’s comedy. She does some really funny bits about her inferior designer husband, too https://www.instagram.com/reel/Derhahnq4FK/?mdxt=Z2JuMjlwamphbnc5

@Indigo Rose and @olychick, Vlad the Impaler (Impala car)...you know, Dracula.

Oh Indigo Rose and olychick - you are not alone! The reason I took the photo of that license plate was because I found it odd and confusing. The car was parked in front of me and I kept saying 'Vlad The' over and over. Then I noticed the license plate holder with 'Impala" on it and then it suddenly clicked. It's a reference to Vlad the Impaler - the original Dracula from Bram Stoker's novel.

As Lucille suggested - Silly.......

What did sushi a say to sushi b?

Wasabi!?

I want a porch goose.

Thanks @maire_cate. I never would have gotten that....Dracula was never my thing!

A friend’s grandaughter is 4. Her pre-K gives them a ’grade’ for daily behavior. Purple for good, green for slight infraction, and red for not so good. She gets $1 from Grandma for each purple day after 2 weeks and has to pay Grandma $1 for each red day. My friend sends money for her via Zelle. The child came to her parents one day recently and asked if Grandma ’Jane’ had Zelled her any money. Boy they do catch onto the game quickly.

There are a number of videos similar to this but this is the first oneI saw and I got quite a laugh LINK

@lucille_444, just have to say I love how you think and what you bring here! 😊

For the Frenchie lovers: (I think that's what this is)!

You're all cracking me up!

Thank you, Lucille!

Lucille, I hope you will share your porch goose in all of her outfits!

I purchased two bundles of Peonies at FM yesterday. They were all buds. Within 30 minutes of getting them home they were at least half opened and one WAY opened. Seriously?! This is not the variety of Peonies I usually purchase. I am hoping they last at least a week.

I did not enhance. Only cropped the photos.

I kid you not, this one is as large as my hand with fingers spread.

Did a reverse image search. which said they are Coral Charm.

This one always cracks me up...

Friday - Your video is stuck in my head! I’m in an HOA and I could easily imagine that happening here. I guess I’m partial to warm lights!

@Annie Deighnaugh that is absolutely one of my favorite sketches! I’ve seen it more times than I can count and it still makes me laugh every time!

@Allison0704, those are gorgeous peonies, my favorite flower! Let us know how long they last. Wish there were a TJ’s close to me!

Great topic Lucille, thanks.

Here’s an old one that always makes me laugh

https://youtu.be/lGOofzZOyl8?si=eqAo0Ah554hGOdzz

A miscommunication that still has me laughing… my DS is camping this weekend, and I’ve been worried for weeks that it will be too cold.

I picked him up Wednesday from the train for a quick dinner. As he got into the car, I said (thinking about his trip) ”I hope you’re going to be warm enough.”

He replied (thinking about walking a few blocks to dinner) ”Yes, I’m bringing this” and pointed to a flimsy fleece pullover he had brought along.

Me: ”That’s all you’re bringing?!?!”

Him: ”Yeah… we’re not getting a table outside, are we?”

That’s when I realized we were talking about 2 different scenarios.

Allison, those are beautiful! I have a couple of Coral Charm peony bushes, but they don’t bloom nearly that deep in color. They’re more a blush.

I took my 4 yo grandson out to lunch. He gets many comments from strangers about his amazing hair. This day, L said “Hi!” to a little girl about his age who was with her grandma. The little girl stared at L but didn’t say hi. Her grandma said, ”Say hi to the little boy.”

The little girl said to her grandma, ”I’ve never seen hair that color”

Her grandma said, ”He has beautiful red hair!”

L deadpanned, as he always does, ”It’s not red, it’s orange.”

The other grandma roared with laughter at the correction. Her granddaughter never did say, ”Hi.”

Thank you, Lucille, for the fun topic

When DS2 was around 3, we were on vacation and got ice cream sometime during the week. I said, Do you want an ice cream sundae? And he said, No, I want ice cream TODAY!

@Annie Deighnaugh, too funny. Not gonna lie, was hoping there really was a documentary :D

@Feathers11 Google reverse image showed me Coral Charm. Googling on my own, I don't even see this color online. I will let you know how long they last.

@bbstx It was not TJ, but Fresh M@rket. I corrected my post.

Eagle Eye Farm in WI - they have many short videos of their sweet alpacas and other cute animals like South American porcupines and baby kangaroos that never fail to make me smile

BRB, I need to book flight to Wisconsin.

Amending my comment: I wish there were a Fresh Market close to me 😁😁😁

Next GTG: Eagle Eye Farm!

Earlier today in Portland, ME:

And - anyone else seen this? Finland has a newborn puppy livestream that's reportedly extremely popular...

@Allison0704 I bought the same ones at WF Saturday.

I saw gorgeous dahlias at the Boston WF but they didn't have any here I improvised with a tree branch for the dinner table. Luckily none fell in anyone's soup but it was touch and go...

@bbstx and @Annie Deighnaugh, we adore Gary Gulman. Have you seen the "role playing" one? A year or so ago I took DH to see GG as a surprise for his birthday. He was super. Was just looking at tickets for next spring.

Dh took this picture of a deer who apparently knew to use the crosswalk.

Random story.

So DH and I are sitting in our apartment and I look up and say - hey, we have a bulb out on the chandelier. Then we discuss how it will be a pain to change since it is on the top and we have high ceilings.

Fast forward to 10am a few days later. I hear someone buzz the front door. It's just me and DD2 and we look at each other like who could that be. We decide its a mistake and we ignore it. I am no-makeup and in my giraffe jammies. Then again. I go to look out the window. The third time they buzz, I answer over the intercom.

Hi this is so and so. I was just cleaning out my storage unit and I came across a box of bulbs. They fit the DR chandelier. I thought you might want them because they come from Holland and are hard to replace.

It's the guy we bought our place from, who now lives at the other end of the block. It is amazing he found us because the place is empty 80-90% of the time! I manifested lightbulbs!

DS - who would buy a chandelier that only takes bulbs from Holland

DH - oh, your Mom

PS we were sure this chandy, and the bookcase color, HAD to GO when we were looking, but both have grown on us!

What? And he didn't even need a Deer Crossing sign?!

The tablescape is perfect and I loved peeking out your window. I just arrived down south and while I'm enjoying blue sky, there is no better place than NE in the fall.

I passed a ”deer crossing” sign yesterday and had been modified like this:

That made me smile, bpath!

@mtnrdredux_gw Has the color in yours faded?!

@Feathers11 I tossed one yesterday. (purchased 4 days ago)

Below is the same flower "as big as my hand" in previous post. They all are now, but this one is still Big Mama.

Aren’t there some peony varieties that are noted for their fading, @Allison0704? Seems I remember getting a Fresh Market email several years ago crowing that they had some in stock. IMHO, they still look great!

This is our first year successfully growing dahlias. This one was pink when I brought it in; now it’s almost white.

A couple more dahlias and the last of my zinnias.

WF had fabulous pale pink and orange dahlias that I forget to get when I was there! So pretty Sue and the vase too!

Yes, Allison, my peonies are huge and faded. Amazing given they were hot pink buds on Saturday.

A friend gave me these yellow pod thingies when I admired them. The lovely vase was a sweet gift from @Arapaho-Rd. The mint is from my garden - still holding on.

Re: fading color - I have a rose that is dark crimson when the flowers get sunlight on them, but when cut before opening and placed indoors away from the sun, the flowers open to a pale silvery pink. I wonder if something similar is going on with the peonies?

And those yellow spheres look like 'Billy Buttons'.

I think it is normal for peonies to fade after they bloom, esp when cut

Previously I've only had Sarah Bernhardt (or the very similar) prior to this variety. The SB's did not fade.

A second one is dropping petals as I type.

Last update - the remaining were all dropping petals today and one gompletrly fell apart i will stick to tulips from now on
