Yesterday’s photograph was of a pool of water on the corner of my house. The down spout from the gutter fell off because of all of the icicles hanging on the gutter. Melting snow and ice dropped into the pool creating the bubbles. The view was from directly overhead, looking down at the rocks on the very bottom.
(1) Animals are people, too.
(2) Apples, especially green Granny Smith’s, are yummy, good for you (with 3 kinds of fiber, so they are extra filling) low in calories and can wake you up better than a cup of coffee. Pair with a hard-boiled egg for a perfect mid-meal snack. And they originally come from…
(3) Australia, a country I would like to visit because they think the Amber Fluid is Ace! (I don’t really drink that stuff. We all know I prefer G & T’s or woo-woo’s.)
(4) Austria, Salzburg, (think Sound of Music) is the home of my heart.
(5) Alena is the name of the main character in my 2006 NaNoWriMo novel, which I am rewriting, editing and sending out this year, damn it!
(6) Aunt to two wonderful and beautiful nieces and great-aunt to one clever little boy.
(7) Ante Meridiem, (am, a.m. or A.M.) Latin for “before noon.” I am not a morning person even though I get out of bed every day at five (5.) I require a minimum of eight cups of black coffee to be anywhere near functional. I’d prefer getting up at the crack of three in the afternoon, staying up all night and going to bed at five in the morning but that hasn’t happened in about 25 years.
(8) Art. My father’s and my brother’s middle names are Arthur but we’ve never called either Art.
(9) Arts and Crafts. I like to draw, paint, crochet, knit, quilt, bead and make cards. I have also made fine metal jewelry, ceramics, and leather items…anything that strikes my mood. You can see some of my work at Creationist Thinking.
(10) Air. I love wind, maybe because I’m an air sign. My sign’s Libra. What’s your sign?
(11) Amazing Grace is my all time favorite song especially when played on bagpipes by cute pipers.

(You can see Sean around the 5 minute mark)
I’ve posted this picture before, but can you blame me?
(12) Amethyst is not my birthstone but it is the stone for February. I do have a lovely ring from when my mother was modeling in Europe. It is about 55 years old. Purple is not one of my favorite colors and even though I rarely wear this ring, I still love it as it brings back memories of me playing in my mother’s jewelry box as a young girl. Amethyst is Greek for “not drunk.”
(13) Amazon dot com because I heart my Kindle big time.

OKay mark this Cancer stupid but who is Sean? Great 13 my friend 🙂
Nice A-list. Love apples, except for Granny Smiths which are far too tart for me. I only like them in apple sauce or baked with brie cheese or something like that. And I’m a Libra, too.
I like Granny Smiths but no one else in the family does. I am a Gemini and I am generally of two minds…
Great list! My birthstone is Amethyst!
My T13 if you’d like to visit can be read here!
Have a great Thursday!
Sassy

Nope. Post that picture of that hot many ANY time. Know what’s funny? I keep staring at those amazing calves he’s got. There’s so much else going on that’s wonderful and I’m totally caught by his calves.
Amazing. (tee hee)
Lots of good A words! I like the Tartan Terrors-Amazing Grace the best. Happy TT!
I have a friend who can’t listen to Amazing Grace without blubbering lol Nice skirt *wink
Happy T13!
Hey, you’re good at As! And I’m glad to finally know what a woo-woo is.
By the way, and listen up, Tom, I’ve never been to Salzburg but I hear Mozart liked it. (Been to Vienna, though)
amazing grace is just that…and i like wind as well, it speaks to me…granny smith have just the right bite…
Taurus. I love the ulian pipes. We used to wear kilts to school in the 50/60’s with big pins to close them shut.
I love Granny Smoth apples with just a touch of salt. Animals are people, too. Thom is jealous. Love that ring photo.
I love granny smith apples, but also Gala and Fuji! Mmm apples are the perfect fruit to me!

My Irish hubby loves the bagpipes also…but they’re not for me…the only thing good about them is the players in kilts!!! But!!—-Love Amazing Grace. Does that make any sense? I too love to draw, paint, crochet and do all kinds of crafting!!!
MY 13 – below Thursday Thunks!! Have a great day.
Great pics! And I totally agree with number one on your list!
*hugs*

My TT is at http://paigetylertheauthor.blogspot.com/
I’m not too keen on Amazon for all kinds of stupid reasons, but I’d sure like one of those ereaders.
Sigh…I do love a man playing the bagpipes. I’d like amazon better if they’d make the Kindle available in New Zealand. 🙁
Great list! I loved your gorgeous amethyst ring. I never knew that it meant “not drunk” Good stuff!
The Sound of Music has always been one of my favorites. One day I will make it to Austria!
“A” wonderful list. Now I can’t get Granny Smith’s off my mind!
My T13: Regrets

I love your 13! I especially lone “Amethyst is greek for not drunk” I don’t know why but that’s just funny! And Amethyst is my birthstone.
