Saturday morning, and I’m pondering the next shade of colour in fees fun foto challenge
lime green
now you say lime green to me, and my artistic thoughts go directly to the fruit bowl
But limes nowadays seem much darker in tone than what I’d normally associate them with….you would have to split them open to get the colour you were looking for
But a quick scan of the kitchen cupboards soon reveals this light green colour. In a packet of custard, or perhaps pasta or even strawberry jelly (strange but true). For the doubters it’s the one in the green packet…
lime jelly ? An acquired taste.
and outside in the garden, the trees have more of a lime green colour to them than the actual shade of a dark green lime
look again… and the outside of the lime is hiding in plain sight…
It might look like world war three has arrived in the kitchen
but in reality , a masterpiece has been created
sticky fingers and flour dust on kitchen tops
even more on the cupboard doors and floor
colourful paintwork adorned on the table tops
while the finished article hangs on the refrigerator door
and all created to send out a message
“Happy Mothers Day!”
#CFFC #LetterT
Challenge for the Letter T entry was a little different – any photo but must have two Ts in the title
So as i pondered over some buttered toast , i considered what sort of images i could use
I like butterflies, i like the coloured patterns on their wings
I took this picture of a yellow and black butterfly whilst on holiday in Zakynthos, in Greece.
Scouting out the kitchen cupboards
armed with two ciabatta rolls
navigating your way through the meat in the fridge
dark red salami and piquant spiced ham await
with tempting tomato and cool cucumber
in reach in the salad drawer
coming together with mayo in a
heavenly combination

the atomic tangerine 🍊
dropped into the pool of
clear hot water 💦
Reactions to the spheres arrival
as it nose dived into the blue
were instantaneous….
Little children 👶 smiled away
not it in the way
it fizzed away
Like orangeade exploding
into the blue
but mostly how its scent
originally meant
for the upstairs bathroom
could be found In the kitchen too
Born from a humble oak or beech
Everybody wants this latest crafted item
Superbly fashioned by a master craftsman –
Perfect for Breakfast, Dinner, Lunch and Tea
Overall, the quality is second to none
Kept fresh by the finest oils and polishes
Everyone who wants it – are in a hurry to have it
in response to the prompt : Dirty
When washing a kitchen floor –
it’s important to do it right
Make sure your cleaning materials
are ready for use…
Make sure the water is hot enough
to get those sugary spots off the tiles…
Use plenty of detergent
to catch every bit of dust,gravy, fat or egg
And finally – if one of you has taken the dog for a walk,
remember to take a towel with you
Doggy paws are pretty – but not when someone has just cleaned the floor!
(Note to the reader – the same approach applies to little children – only don’t clean their paws unless its time for a meal!)
