For a while I've been wanting to post a little something on Sunday, but couldn't come up with just the right thing. Somewhere in all this thinking I realized that although I've been working on a 365 for several months now, I don't share many of those pictures here. I put them on my flickr photostream in a couple of groups I belong to. For those of you who are not photographers, a 365 is taking a picture every day for a year. Anyway, I'm thinking that's what I'll do here, share my photos of the week before. I'll try it for a while and see if it fits. I thought of several names to call this Sunday post: Sunday Best, Sunday Set, Sunday Gathering, Sunday Café, Sunday Respite, Sunday Treasures. It's not easy coming up with a post title, but Sunday Sundries just struck a chord with me. I've always liked the word "sundry." Don't ask me why, I couldn't explain it. I still remember the first time I heard the expression "various and sundry things." It just sounds cool!
Looking at the meaning of these two words explains my choice.
Sunday: the day of the week before Monday and following Saturday, observed by Christians as a day of rest and religious worship
Sundries: miscellaneous small articles, details, or items
This pretty much says what these posts will be. Small things or moments that lead me to count my blessings.
This weeks photos are all hearts. In fact, they'll be hearts all month. You know, you just can't get enough hearts in February.

Sundry-it is a great word and pairs well with Sunday. Brilliant. I like seeing your week's collection-and now I'm thinking I should do that. I'm just having trouble keeping up with Flickr though. My fave here is the stamp shot. I remember collecting stamps (in a not very serious way) as a kiddo. Keep on with the hearts. I don't know how you find so many but-good for you. Perhaps I should draw a heart shape in the snow. Have a happy Sunday.
ReplyDeleteI like that word! I will be looking forward to seeing those photos!

ReplyDeleteI love the word Sundries, catchy and different. Good for you to be sharing your photos with more of the internet world.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I'll look forward to each new edition. Love the hearts!
ReplyDeleteI like the word "sundries" as well. What better way to record your moments of gratitude each week. Love your heart collection.
ReplyDeleteSuper idea. Love all your hearts. Especially the one in the tree bark.
ReplyDeleteNice title and great idea for presenting flickr images, I may borrow this for my blog. I love your montage, but you know I love hearts too.
ReplyDeletethe ones in the trees are quite wonderful cathy
ReplyDeleteLovely, what a gorgeous round up. I have the same trouble with blog titles too, but love what you came up with...sundry fits perfectly. :)
ReplyDeleteLove this gathering of your hearts and your idea for a Sunday post! Your blog is a perfect place for sharing a collage of your daily photos and I love your post title! You've got me looking for hearts now too, as you could tell from the PA prompt this week!
ReplyDeleteYes, hearts certainly are the flavour of the month. Who can resist their shape? I especially like your picture of the two hearts on branches. Only four days to Valentine's now.
ReplyDeleteLovely collage of hearts, this post would be fabulous on Valentine's day. The one on the tree stands out for me, so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat idea - and Sunday Sundries is a great title! This is a fun and creative collection of hearts. I really like the one on the bottom - there's something about the ice!
ReplyDeleteSunday Sundries is a perfect title, and sharing your 365 pics here is a great idea, too. I've been thinking of doing the same. I like the way you put these together as a collage. You already know how much I've been loving all of your heart images this month!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite book series, by a Maine writer named Van Reid, features a character called Sundry Moss. (He has a brother named Various!) The first book is called Cordelia Underwood. Van is a wonderful writer and I think you'd love his books.
I love the title for your Sunday posts, perfect! And I loved this post, what a great little town called Romance, how cool is that, and I love that you mailed yourself something to get that great postmark!!
ReplyDeleteYour little trip was so much fun! That special hand stamp for Valentine's Day is awesome, isn't it? Your grandsons will love it, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteThat stamp is sooooo cool! I may have to send you some cards next year! Ooh a cemetery, be still my heart. And I love your last photo..
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely collection, and a neat way to share what you've been up to. I'll keep an eye out for sure.
