This post is in response to Dan Antion’s CFFC – Crayola Box of 8 challenge. This week the color is, my favorite, purple! You can see Dan’s original post here: The Crayola Box of 8 – Purple — CFFC – No Facilities. He’s got a purple painted cow that you won’t want to miss.
Because purple is my favorite color, you’d think I’d have a lot of purple stuff. Oddly enough, I don’t. My Facebook page has bunches of purple images, and my Pintrest account, as well, because I collected purple for a while several years ago. But as far as actual tangible stuff, I really don’t. I was surprised.
The windchime above was made by my daughter especially for me, so it is a custom job. I loved all the purple she put into it and I sleep below it every night. Then, I have my hat collection with a couple of purple hats, and the warm, purple hat was crocheted by my other daughter. I guess they know me pretty good.

This post is my entry in Dan Antion’s CFFC – Crayola Box of 8 challenge. This week’s color is Black. You can catch Dan’s original post here: https://nofacilities.com/2026/07/06/the-crayola-box-of-8-black-cffc/
I couldn’t come up with any black foods, but black is a good color for transportation.
One of my favorite black things are pot belly stoves, which come in all sizes and various designs, but they are all beautiful.
Ravens and Turkey Vultures are pretty elusive, but I’ve managed to snap a few pictures. I also threw in one of the wild turkeys and a couple of the black and white woodpeckers, which I call Tuxedos.
This section is a tribute to my cat, Rowdy, who fell prey to coyotes the beginning of last summer. His black stands out beautifully against his white, creating a lovely contrast. I miss him something awful. Here’s to Rowdy.
This section chronicles the life of my dog Timber. As a puppy, he was a little devil-dog, but he’s three now, and has grown into a beautiful blue heeler. Blue heelers get their name from the way the black and white fur mixes, making them look like they are blue, but the patches on his face are distinct.
I threw in a couple of doors for Dan. 😉

This post is in response to Dan Antion’s CFFC – Crayola Box of 8 – Green challenge. You can find his challenge here: The Crayola Box of 8 – Green — CFFC – No Facilities
Green to me is grass and trees and all sorts of growing things.
Green is a peaceful, quiet day
As slow and lazy as the little green turtle,
Which makes its way through soft green grass with no place better to be.
Green is listening to the ripples of the creek as the water flows by
And the croaking of a green frog, which hops away when he’s spotted.
Green is the heavy scent of pine which fills the air in a thickly wooded forest
Where the violet-green swallows make their home.
Green is fresh spinach growing in the garden,
Waiting to be chopped and cooked up to nourish.
