This was a tricky one for me.

13 yellow tulips

You'll have to trust me on this last one, but if you look and count carefully, there really are thirteen!

  2. I love the central heating dials - I have one just like your first photo so I recognised it straight away!

  4. @YTSL, ah, but I had to think a very long time :)
    @Catherine, you found me out! :)

  6. I am glad someone figured it out, because I didn't know what the dials were. I tried to do thirteen tulips in my dooryard--yellow like yours. But there are only twelve of them there.

  7. Those are all great! I think I like the postage one the best. That must have taken some digging to find.

    Have a nice weekend!

  8. @JC, thanks!
    @Katney, probably most people have gone over to digital timers, but we haven't :)
    @Karen, you are so right! It took me all evening to find a legible postmark showing 13. I had to go through almost my entire postcard collection :)
    @Heather, thanks!

  9. Brilliant! Being the untrusting sort I counted and counted your tulips, and I finally decided you're right - there are 13 (I think!)

  12. Nice, I like this.

    They don't have those dials over here in the us. you heat is managed by a thermostate, and its manually operated. I miss being able to only have it one when I need it. But oh well.

    Tulips are my favourite flower, and I love that photo of them.

  14. You came up with some really great and creative ideas! This was a hard one.

  15. Wow, you say it was tricky, but you managed very well - as usual I might add. These are really good thirteen photos. Very creative. I think I've would have had much problems with it. Good thing I didn't play, I just stopped by to say Hi :-)

  16. I counted to 13 too - and you know; tulips is a great sign of spring - at least in Norway :-)

    Wishing you a great end to your week!

  21. That's a good collection of 13. happy weekend!

  22. Okay. I'm going to stick my toe gingerly in the water here and make sure I keep a civil tongue in my head, and gently remind my good friend that she still hasn't explained why in the world the thermostat is turned all the way down to 13.

    And has anyone besides myself noticed that when this Caroline person makes a comment it is always preceded by a "comment deleted by author" item? This happens with her a lot wherever you see her comment. I wonder if her fingers are really that trembly and trigger-happy, or if she is just in a hurry to be on her way. Just askin... :)

    PS-Hi Caroline! See you over where you belong later, ok?

  23. I think I did explain somewhere, but never mind, here we are again:

    It isn't a thermostat, it's a timer, and it uses the 24 hour clock.

    It doesn't appear that anyone noticed the original comment, except me of course. I remember it very well because, you see, I don't have long rambling comments very often.

  24. So....you've set your alleged timer for 13 seconds. Exactly what were you cooking a. ? Some of those delicious mushe pea things--where you microwave them for 13 seconds and then throw them away and get some chicken?

    They are not BOTH timers, a.

    You are just being disruptive again and you know it.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Or maybe you were just timing yourself to see how long you could go without making a sarcastic remark to a friend? And your record is 13 seconds?

    I REALLY don't know why I take this kind of abuse from you little a.

    You wear me out.
