I thought I wasn&#8217;t going to do it because the only thing I could think of was a flower arrangement, and I didn&#8217;t want to spend any money on flowers. Long after I&#8217;d decided to let it go and just post a cat picture, I started wondering what I had around the house that I could make a non-floral arrangement out of. Thus, part of my afternoon was spent gluing origami cranes to chop sticks and poking them into a coffee mug. This just happened because it was what I found to work with in my house. Most days that&#8217;s how these photo prompts work out. <\/p>\n<p>And now for the really weird&#8230;Alice&#8217;s photo of the day. Alice is contemplating getting into the postcard business.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/sgerald\/8393710078\/\" title=\"Alice considers getting into the postcard business. by Sharon Gerald, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8223\/8393710078_66c3f5021e.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" alt=\"Alice considers getting into the postcard business.\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This one came about because I said to my friend in the office today that I needed to think of something funky I could do with Alice today. She said, &#8220;The cemetery across the street is pretty funky.&#8221; Once she said that, all I could think about was how some recently told me that she wanted Pink Floyd&#8217;s &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=DPL_SV3n7IU\">Wish you were here<\/a>&#8221; played at her funeral. Add that to the fact that I&#8217;ve been trying to learn how to make things that look like posters and postcards in Photoshop, and you have Alice being a little strange today. I hope you&#8217;re aren&#8217;t easily offended because this the Alice adventure that has made me laugh the hardest so far. She might not be done being weird yet.<\/p>\n<p>Last, but not necessarily least in my day, we have Jack Cat&#8217;s great escape documented. Jack Cat is my six-month-old indoor-only baby.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/sgerald\/8393562296\/\" title=\"Jack Cat escapes by Sharon Gerald, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8090\/8393562296_0ae2827011.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" alt=\"Jack Cat escapes\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/sgerald\/8393562600\/\" title=\"Jack Cat knows there are birds. by Sharon Gerald, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8372\/8393562600_73bc4bcd43.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" alt=\"Jack Cat knows there are birds.\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/sgerald\/8392477161\/\" title=\"Jack Cat knows where the birds live. by Sharon Gerald, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8351\/8392477161_d56fe2a1af.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" alt=\"Jack Cat knows where the birds live.\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today&#8217;s photo: An arrangement.
