Another 5 Fact Friday by yours truly:
(Feel free to post your own version, whenever, and let me know in the comments.
I'd love to learn more about you.)
1. I'm sad that 2 of the 5 Traveling Wilburys are no longer with us.
2. I'm happy that I can still enjoy those 2 amazing voices through the miracle of technology. (I'm old enough to consider a CD as a miracle of technology.)
3. I'm digging checking traps with my better half this week. Photo opportunities abound, such as the above.
4. Speaking of my better half, he knows I watch Spartacus on Starz for the man candy. He watches it for the fight scenes. It's all good.
5. I bought a little chenille mouse for Jack to play with. She decided a piece of bark from the firewood pile was more fun. When will I ever learn?

Loved to read this, I should do something similar! :-)
ReplyDeleteFunny how Jack preferred the firewood.:))
ReplyDeleteOh I love Five Fact Friday I learn something new every time:) It is 4:30am I can't think of any facts about me I know I would rather be sleeping:) Take care and have fun with hubby. Hugs B
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy, I like your Five fact Friday. I still listen to CD's too, especially in my car. Thanks for sharing, have a happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteI go to Italy for the man candy. The Russian lets me. It's all good. :-D
ReplyDeleteIt's nice having a secure hubby that understands you need a little eye candy every now and then...
ReplyDeleteDeb, I don't think the mens from Spartacus will be knocking on my door anytime soon.
DeleteLOVE your facts! I miss doing 5 Fact Friday so I decided to join in on the fun!

your photo captures the beauty of where you live ... you took me there on this brisk mid-winter morning!

That is the cutest pet toy! Just like kids though hundreds of real toys and they play with the colander!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the dog toys....our Doxie tries to drag in sticks bigger than him to chomp on rather than his chew toys. I love some 'man candy' every now and then :)
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I love the first pic, too! I am visiting from StudioJRU today.
ReplyDeleteLove the photos
ReplyDeleteLOL over Spartacus. Glad you're having fun checking traps!
ReplyDeleteoh I love me some Spartacus too! Although - this year is proving to not be my favorite season!
ReplyDeleteLove the photos :) I miss having cows, but always fun to see a photo of them. Man candy ;-) Haven't watched anything like that in quite some time, lol...Valentine's day maybe?!
ReplyDeleteFun post! I've never seen Spartacus but it looks like something my husband would LOVE. And all the man candy might make it fun for me to watch as well ;)
ReplyDeleteWe also buy our cats toys and they prefer the things that aren't toys! Coming over from studioJRU
ReplyDeleteno, you won't, and that's okay, because we all do it. On your next Friday, you need to post the fact, that you like to change your blog layout bi-monthly :) Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteLove that photo!
ReplyDeleteSo fun! I love this 5 Fact Friday. I decided to give it a try myself. =)
ReplyDeleteI love that picture of the cows. It's such a neat contrast, especially with the snow in places on the ground.
And our cats seem to prefer non-conventional toys, too! I posted about that as one of my facts, also!
These two dogs of ours have never liked toys. No fetch, nothing like that. Zoey just likes sticks, that's all.
ReplyDeleteLove the cows! Popping over from Studio JRU, nice to meet you. :)
ReplyDeleteOur cats could care less about toys. But...a piece of string. Poppy's most favorite thing in the world. And what is there about the little Christmas tree ornament made of olive wood? It continually got stolen from the tree and yes...they all love rubbing their faces on it and loving it every day...way past Christmas....it's no longer and ornament.
ReplyDeletefun post. CDs are technology for me too! LOL! Here from Studio JRU.
ReplyDeleteLOL...I love the Traveling Wilburys...I can outdate you...I have them on cassette tape. Gotta go on Itunes and download them on my IPod. Thanks for mentioning them. Love your cattle shot too!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot! I have never heard of the Traveling Wilburys, and I've never seen Spartacus. I might be a bit out of touch.
ReplyDeleteRegardless, that is one cute mouse! Love the cows!
ReplyDeleteI am old enough then to consider blogging is a new fashion to me.
ReplyDeleteI used to enjoy 5 fact Friday, too. I'm a sucker for shots of cows, and I love the openness of this scene. What? CD's aren't a miracle of technology? ;-)
ReplyDeletelove that sweet, simple kitten. :)
ReplyDeleteand love the fence photo. :)
Nancy I LOVE to read your 5 Fact Friday! I would like to do it at my blog. If I have time I am going to do it today. If not, I will try next week. I think it is a great Friday post!! That chenille mouse snap cracks me up.. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely rural scene.
ReplyDeleteThe toys I buy for the cats get little play. But Orestes has been dragging the same piece of string around for three and a half years now. It gets lost occasionally, but he always manages to find it.
I actually love that little chenille mouse!
ReplyDeleteThe mouse is adorable!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea...5 fact Fridays.....I really enjoy reading yours and getting to know you better.....yes babies had rather play with pots than expensive toys and cats and dogs had rather play with feathers and sticks than expensive toys...go figure...I think that should tell us something....
ReplyDeletecute mouse, and such a beautiful photo of the cows.
ReplyDeletelovely landscape too.
xx
Love that scene. Our kitty has one favorite yellow birdie that he carries to us as a present. It's been replaced several times!
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying your 5 Fact Friday posts! That's funny about Jack and the piece of wood. We never do learn do we? LOL!!
ReplyDeleteIt is fun to learn more about each other. Thanks for sharing your five.
ReplyDeleteOh, I have bought that very same mouse, and it did not stay in one piece for long! But one of our cats prefers to play with shadows that we make for her with our hands. Cheap entertainment!
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are great! And love that you watch Spartacus for the man candy :)
ReplyDeleteI missed it. But loved the original with Kirk Douglas and Jean Simmons. Now there was a babe to defeat the Romans for....:)
ReplyDeleteMmmm man candy! I am all for that. I watch the SYFY series Haven for that reason. 'Duke' and 'Nathan' are hot! lol. And i love little chenille mousie, even though Jack doesn't. How soft.
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog. Thanks for the links to all of those blog hops.
ReplyDeleteI am addicted to Spartacus too! (my husband enjoys it as well)! I love your 5 Fact Friday, such a clever idea!
ReplyDeleteWhat? Two of the Wilbury's no longer traveling? Now I'm sad, too.
ReplyDeletePet toys, out kitties prefer paper sacks to store toys...
ReplyDeleteLove this post!
ReplyDeleteI like the eye candy myself, I wouldn't be able to do anything with them if they were close up (fairly sure they would run) When I see it on the tv, I mention their whatever to DH. LOL! Then we watch various women and I tell him what's really going on under there and laugh - good fun!
Lots of fun. I went to the Fabulous Thunderbirds Wednesday in Omaha. Good tunes for a vintage sound.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are having fun checking traps with your hubby and coming up with these great photos!
ReplyDeleteI still listen to CDs too.
Love reading your 5 facts. They have me smiling.. Always loving your photos.
ReplyDeleteHugs~
cool!
ReplyDeleteLovely photo, and some "fun facts!"
ReplyDeleteJust like Christmas when the kids play with the boxes instead of the toys.
ReplyDeleteMy eyes are resting in the field, the skies, the cows ... Beautiful and serene! I smiled when reading the Jack preferred the wood ... Indeed - when will we ever learn :)
ReplyDeleteThat first photo is amazing! No wonder you enjoy being out there. The second one of the toy and the piece of wood made me chuckle. :)
ReplyDeleteFUN!!!!
ReplyDeleteVery fun post.
