Rudey the Rooster got me, and was kind enough to leave a prize stuck in my calf. |
๐ June 9th Trivia & Tidbits ๐
1. Donald Duck’s Birthday (1934):
That feisty, feathered fellow made his first appearance on June 9, 1934, in The
Wise Little Hen. He’s been quacking us up ever since!
2. The Ballpoint Pen Was Patented
(1943):
Hungarian inventor Lรกszlรณ Bรญrรณ patented the ballpoint pen on this day. Imagine
how many grocery lists and Bible notes it’s helped write since then!
3. Mystery of the Mona Lisa:
On June 9, 2005, scientists in France revealed new scans of Leonardo da Vinci’s
Mona Lisa showing hidden layers underneath. Even the most famous smile
in the world has secrets!
4. National Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie Day
(U.S.):
June 9 is sweet and tangy! It’s the perfect day to bake up some nostalgia —
just add ice cream on top.
5. Scripture Reflection – Psalm 118:24:
“This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.”
No matter what happened yesterday, June 9 is a brand-new gift.

WoW, the poll choices are just too hard to choose just one, but that's what we're supposed to do. I choose #one, simply because that really is the way I like to start each new day. But the other three are close runner ups♥
That chicken really went at her!! I am glad she is okay though. What a nice gesture to bring you a sunflower. They are happy flowers and besides my love os Blackeyed Susans, they are a favorite for me. I also wrote a blog on coffee for this Monday. I also chose the warm cup and time with the Lord.

DeleteThe first one 1️⃣ I mostly relate to but the others are right up there, too.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, Rudey the Rooster needs some anger management!
Have a great week
Hi Debby, hope you have a great week too!
DeleteHow wonderful of Tammy to bring you a sunflower to play with the neighbors. It's beautiful. Poor Maegan. That rooster needs to find a new home. In a pot. Poor thing.
ReplyDeleteI choose #1 but with a cup of chocolate milk since I don't drink coffee! The others are close runners up though.
Blessings,
Betsy
In a pot is right!!! lol
DeleteAll of those are blessings!! Sunflowers always make me smile!! Yours is beautiful! Have a blessed week ahead!! xo

DeleteSince I start every day with prayer as I take my morning walk so I'd pick the last one.
ReplyDeleteThat is one mean rooster.
Love your. neighbors sunflowers.
Roosters do have a mean streak in them. I hope they send Rudey to live somewhere else.
DeleteOh my goodness on that rooster attack. I'd no idea they could/would be so territorial. Aside from my own son, I'd say you've some of the most thoughtful children ever. I, too, enjoy visiting with the Lord with a HOT cup of coffee every morning, and the only thing I can think of to add? (Virtual) hugs from my blog buddies; I can't wait to see what's new in Blogland each morning.
ReplyDelete☺♥ Sending you ((hugs)) across the miles.
DeleteMy BIL was given 2 roosters on the condition that he keep them safe. Unfortunately they had vicious tendencies and while he would gladly have finished them off he kept his word and re-homed them. Seems roosters just have bad tempers.
ReplyDeleteI like those sunflowers waving at you over the fence and how sweet of Tammy to bring you one of your own. Some people are just so thoughtful.
