Friday Foto Friends with Lily Grace

Hi Friends!! It's Friday again already!  And guess what? I've got another Popsicle Quiz for you!! Are you ready?

"What kind of shoe does a thief wear?"

I bet everyone will guess this one.  It's so simple...

SNEAKERS!! Ha Ha Ha!

Did you guess it?  That one was too easy. Even I could guess that one!!

So, what have you been doing this week? I can't believe it is already July 1st! (we are writing this on Thursday night).  Mommie said this month has just flown right by!!

Just like this speeding choo choo train...flying right by us!  (I wish that was me in that picture, out there fishing with a doggy down by the river! Wouldn't that be fun?)

Been spending some time reading with my friends...

And having tea parties with my other special friends:

And taking walks in the woods with Mommie and Daddy:

Looky at this beautiful delicate little parasol looking mushroom we found in the woods:

Doesn't it look like an umbrella?  It's so pretty and dainty.

So is this pretty little blueish purplish flower...they were growing all around us:

And these interesting fuzzy, velvety brown fungi were growing on the side of an old tree limb on the ground:

Aren't they interesting?  They really looked a lot of brown velvet!

Look how many of them on the sides of that old dead tree limb!  Mommie says that's where fungi like to grow, on dead wood! Isn't that strange?

I like all the different kinds of textures of wood and bark and leaves and stuff in these pictures, don't you? Never thought there could be such interesting patterns and beauty in old dead stuff, did you?

Mommie says that's still all a part of God's amazing creation! There is so much to see and appreciate when we just open our eyes and look!!

Oh, and here's another strange looking mushroom! It's kind of all black and speckled.

Mommie said these aren't the kind of mushrooms that we can eat, but they are very interesting to look at. I like the contrast of the green leaves next to all the brown and black stuff, don't you?

Mommie said I needed to give you an important announcement regarding your visit here by email.  She already posted this on her blog, "Closed Doors, Open Windows."  but in case you missed it, here it is again:

" If you notice up in the right hand corner of the sidebar, I have added a button for a new way to  follow this blog by email, called:

If you currently follow my blog(s) via email notification only, starting in July the previous method (Feedburner) will no longer be sending notification of my new posts to you by email.  In order to receive this notification, you will have to resubscribe using this new link to "Follow It."  I do hope you will continue to follow my posts via email by using this new method. If you also follow me on The Adventures of Lily Grace  via email, you will have to go over to that blog page and select the "Follow this blog" icon there as well.

 So that is the important announcement! If you follow me here only by email, please be sure to click on that button and resubmit your email or you will miss my future posts, and I know you don't want to do that!!

Mommie said this weekend is very important because we will be celebrating the 4th of July, which is our Independence Day! I've never done that before, so I can't wait to see what we will do that is special. I know we will have our American flag out on the front porch! We always do that every day, because we are very proud to be Americans and live in the best country in the world! I hope we will also have some kind of picnic or do something special with our family. How about you? Will you be doing something special to celebrate this weekend? I hope so! Be sure to take some pictures and share it with us!

Okay, bye bye for now friends!

Happy 4th of July!!

Love,

Lily Grace
