WEEKLY BLURB: this is my next-to-the-last post before I run out of space on this blog. Click on my follow up blog on Thursday July 21 and after at ArtworksfromJeshStG.wordpress.com (no capitals needed)
Back to a new beginning, because ABC Wednesday is back to A! In my family son and son-in-law have a new beginning – as in a new job, after their 2nd study/training.
TO COMMENT: Click on the title of this post, scroll and the comment box appears on the bottom of this post
THE GOOD: Sittin’ on a bench and let the world go by, sounds good to me, right now!
Trees & Bushes, Reflections, Mundane Monday
THE RANDOM: Didn’t think I would use flowers for another kind of subject,
but “Bits and Pieces” of My Beautiful World is perfect in this sense.
A sturdy fence is needed since the rail road is a little lower. A big Door opening to the crab shack in Old Town Sacramento – wonder how they close that one at night! A roll-up door?
There are a whole series of windmills in Kinderdijk, Wil Fr.W., a Dutch blogger who is on the ABC -Wed. team, took us to when we were in Holland. The interior – the miller’s house – of this one was open – we had a great time together! Here you also see the Dutch right-white-blue flag with horizontal stripes. The French have the vertical strips.
Fri Hunt: Begins with: Beginning (title post)
Favorite: birds on rock
Patriotic: Windmill Kinderdijk*
THE FUN: These birds at Southern California Coast are calling out to me from my lazy bench, “ALLEZ” meaning in French, “Let’s Go!” (for ABC Wed., Water World, Sat. Critters)

Is that the same as allons-y? (I know that tidbit from Dr. Who.) I’ve had plenty a canine bark this to me, lol. Are those purple star petunias, we had them growing up and my cousin and I would suck on them to get the nectar.
