Here’s looking at you, kid!
Pareidolia is the psychological phenomenon where your brain perceives familiar patterns—most commonly faces—in random, vague, or inanimate objects.
I have a throw rug in my mudroom that has a pattern that looks like a St. Bernard dog, and a Viking.
My husband can’t see them. 🤷♀️
What’s looking at you in your house?

So what does summer look for those with older kids or teens?
Comments (6)Do you require them to do chores each day, and if so, what and for how long? Depends on what needs to be done. They all help with dishes daily. They straighten up their rooms often and are told to pick up behind themselves. A few times a week they clean bathrooms and vaccuum and dust. How late do you let them sleep? I do not wake them up unless we have plans. The latest any of them have slept on their own this summer is about 10ish. Do you have their friends hanging out at your house everyday, or are your kids at friends houses? Both, though I like their friends here so I know what they are all up to. And we have a pool so a lot of the time their friends want to come here. Do you require them to read, or brush up on math each day, or just have fun? Summer IS for fun! But most days we all read a little bit. I will turn off tv's and radios and we will all sit on the couches with books and read to ourselves. I also bought age appropriate workbooks for the summer. Every few days they work in them on math skills and reading strategy skills. I also had them in a month long readers theater program where they met one night a week to read a play. At the end of the month they put on a play with the other kids. Do you have them in camps, or volunteer jobs, or paying jobs, or just do what ever they want every day? They are too young for jobs (ages 6, 9, 11, and 13). They all are in one volunteer program where the older 3 read to younger children once a week. The youngest is paired up with a different older child and gets read to once a week. It is through our public library. The older two are also helpers at the library and spend an hour one day per week helping reshelf books and doing paperwork for the summer reading program....See MoreLOOKING for: kid friend/diabetic/sue somers combo!?
Comments (0)I want to put us on Suzanne Somers plan. ( I lost 40lbs. in the past. ) Daughter is Dev. Disabled and recently Dx with Type 2 Diabetes. Insulin dependant.ADA diets dont work. Tried that route, what a nightmare. I need recipes following SS plan that a person with "childlike" appetite would like. She does NOT like ground beef, tomatoes, zucchini, cauliflower, broccoli, a sparagus. But loves the no-no foods...carrots, taters, peas, corn. All ideas welcomed. Thank you. sue...See MorePlz help looking for cotton seeds for kids garden
Comments (1)Southern Exposure Seed Exchange offers cotton seeds of green, brown, and white varieties. They are rare heirlooms that have unique histories and would be good for teaching children about cotton and how important it has been, even 200 years ago. One thing to think about, though, is that being in zone 4 you will probably want to get seeds and start them ASAP as cotton takes 120-135 days to mature and make bolls....See MoreThe meat industry’s supply chain broke. Here’s what you need to know
Comments (51)maifleur, my meat processor doesn't buy any animals and process them himself or even raise his own, he only processes meat for people who raise their own and then pay him to process it to their specifications. So, if I sell you half a beef, I call Carl and tell him that I have a beef coming, half of it belongs to Maifleur and then you call and tell him how you want it packaged. I have people come to the farm specifically to see "their" animal and the living conditions before they commit to buying beef. And, by using a custom slaughter facility, I can confidently tell them that the animal they see is the animal they will get back, because Carl has no animals of his own, only those who are raised by and packaged for other people. Those of us who have done business with him for years, and with his father before him, know and trust him. As for migrants and immigrants, Michigan is the 2nd most agriculturally diverse state in the country, behind only California, so those of us in agriculture are acutely aware of the importance and value of those workers and how difficult it is to even find enough of them to work. When I was a teenager one of my summer jobs was picking cherries for 40 cents a lug. I have also picked asparagus, pickles, apples and tomatoes. Today's teenagers don't want to do that, and more jobs such as fast food service are available to them today that were not available to me. There has been years when apples rotted on the trees and cherries became over ripe because there were not enough workers to pick them and the food pantries can only glean/store so much fresh produce.

Oh, Ally De, I hear you!
In the kitchen window, I have salt and pepper shakers, and a pepper mill that I use for quick use at the counter. They always remind me of something but no one else has ever mentioned it to me. Am I the only one who sees something?

24 days agoSeems that once you see the image you cannot unsee it. I have 4 of these little gremlin guys in my large rug. One at each corner. I do see the happy dog & fierce norseman in your rug. I also now can’t unsee what’s in your kitchen window. 😉

23 days agoWe have a stone surround behind our wood stove which we topped with hand-hewn beams from the old house, c. 1790. The beams had holes and pegs to hold them together, one of which the carpenter used on the end. It wasn't until we turned on the light for the first time we found the man in the mantel.
I also have subtle swirls in my bathroom floor tile and I do see a cherub in one.
At dancing, they have a natural wood floor and in the graining, I see an ET watching me dance with the big slanted eyes and the overly large head.roxsolid thanked Annie Deighnaugh
23 days agoI think it’s fascinating, that people see (or don’t see) different things. I see everything mentioned.
What do you see here?I had to take this photo just now, excuse the flash. (Can’t sleep,
I didn’t want to put the light on to wake my husband)
I’m not going to say what I see, yet. It’s titled, but that doesn’t really help.
Usually it’s one of three interpretations. Children usually all agree on one.

23 days agoPetalique, i used to have a knotty pine den. There were so many faces in that wood.
This is the upholstery on one of my chairs. Its always looked like Space Invaders from the game. Either that or mushroom clouds.

😄 Annie, when we visited Fundy Bay I was told the same thing. I could see a bear sitting on a rock, but I also laughed at what he was looking at.
22 days agoRox - after looking at your first picture I realized I have a cousin of your Viking in my tribal rug. Although I really have no idea what my little creature resembles. It reminds me of a toy my brother had in the 1970'3 - a wind-up Mr Machine Robot. But that's a real stretch.
There's another creature in the rug - my grand daughters says it's a piggy puppysitting on a box.
