Five Things Friday January 31, 2025

 It’s the last day of an icky January. Bad, Bad January! February is all Valentines, repotting of houseplants as they begin new growth, and working on those bread making, crochet, sewing and embroidery skills. Sounds pleasant, right? 


One:  Game Day! Mr. DOA and I have been playing Scrabble for decades.  I, as a lifelong reader and lover of words have a much better vocabulary than he does. He wins more often than not, anyway, because he is a fiend for winning any game. He plots. He ponders. He strategizes. I just want to lay down nice words.


Two: I love this required kindergarten skill set for the tinies from 1954. All very good, doable skills.



Three:  Speaking of the garden…



Four: It’s back to the fifties week! How about these complaints from 1957 about the current state of society and culture. 



Five: Tomorrow’s Saturday Puzzle is a Rebus. Here’s a short one to tide you over.

What Must The Birds Think?



I’m itching to get out and work in my garden, but The Cat highly disapproves of the birdbath not being in place!

Gratuitous Cat Photo

It's not all Beagles in the Garden here at DOA In The Garden.  In fact, I'm sadly beagle-less.  We do have a cat who returned to live with us.  He's a special guy!

He loves being outside, he comes when he's called, and he plays fetch.

As part of my Librariandoa blog 12th Anniversary I'm doing a post a day talking about each year.  There in 2012 was this nice post about The Cat Who Would Help In The Vegetable Garden.
