Warm weather is back again, and it’s time for some outdoor water sports. I occasionally like to use and action photograph of some kind for a jigsaw puzzle, and today’s picture looked like a lot of fun. Now, where did I leave my kayak?
Today’s jigsaw puzzle turns a bit towards the morbid side with a large collection of used cemetery candles, or rather the plastic holders they were in. The reason I picked it out for you was because of the colors and the increased difficulty a puzzle like this would have. Enjoy!
Elena asked me to do a really grand jigsaw puzzle. I think she meant a really large one, but I was afraid that if you didn’t have a really big monitor, you wouldn’t be able to work the jigsaw puzzle. I figure the Grand Canyon would be a good compromise. You really could get lost […]
I once saw some tools like these on the TV show “Antiques Roadshow”. I remembered seeing some like it when I was a kid and visited my great uncle’s farm in Michigan. It’s amazing what you can remember from your childhood when you see something like this. The old tools in today’s jigsaw puzzle make […]
It’s time to make a game out of today’s jigsaw puzzle. Last time I suggested playing with a partner, and keeping score to see who found the most pieces. Each person gets fifteen seconds to find a piece then it’s the next person’s turn This time if someone doesn’t find a piece in the allotted […]
It’s been a while since I was last on a boat, and the ones in today’s jigsaw puzzle look very inviting. Of course the boats I used to ride on were a tad bit larger than these. Sail on!
OK, I’ll admit I was a bit worried about bursting into flames when I went under this roof, but I squeaked by with just a mild sunburn. Rhonda asked for a nice, tough jigsaw puzzle to start her week, and I’m happy to oblige. Enjoy, and be prepared to spend a little extra time on […]
A couple of months ago Vickilynne Westcott was kind enough to send me some of her amazing photographs to use as jigsaw puzzles. Thank you Vickilynne! Today I picked one called “Beauty’s Arrival” because it’s that time of the year. It’s a good time to plant flowers. I for one am growing an amazing crop […]
We have a goose problem at work. All the geese are turning people into chickens. Geese will leave you alone if you give them enough room to go around you. Of course, you’d be a little geese shy too of one of them had goosed you. Ouch. The chicken in today’s jigsaw puzzle is brought […]
Years and years ago, when I was a kid, I was in the church choir. One day after practice I went back into the church to find the organist doing some repair work on the organ. He had swung open a panel on the wall I never knew opened. Inside was this amazing array of […]
We had some outdoor activities planned for today, but the rain put a quick stop to that idea. Granted, we could have put on our bathing suits and stayed outside, but it got too cold for that. Just to make sure the day wasn’t totally shot, I turned this rainy day into a jigsaw puzzle. […]
I thought these porcelain flowers would make a good jigsaw puzzle, but I didn’t realize how hard they were until I accidentally hit myself in the face with one. (Don’t ask. It’s embarrassing.) Since flowers aren’t supposed to be hard, I decided that I would work out a compromise for today’s jigsaw puzzle. You get […]
I’ve always wanted to go rafting, but just never got there. Seems other things kept getting in the way. Oh, well. Perhaps less bungee jumping and more water sports. The people in today’s jigsaw puzzle sure don’t look like bungee jumpers.
OK, the jigsaw puzzle doesn’t actually bark. Just the dog. I’m more of a cat person, but this dog was cute and looked friendly, and I just had to share. Woof! [pinit count=”horizontal”]
I received several good comments about my earlier suggestion on how to turn working a jigsaw puzzle into a game for two people. Glad it worked out. Today’s jigsaw puzzle is from a suggestion made by Robyn. She mentioned her colorful curtains she had made, so I thought, ‘why not?’ Here you go! Enjoy. [pinit […]
Saturday’s Jigsaw Puzzle I went for a long walk along side an old country fence last weekend. The weather was nice, the air clear, the farmer’s bull charging at me… Boy, I went over that fence like Superman over a short building. How was I supposed to know the farmer built the road inside his […]
OK, it’s Friday the 13th. Here’s how you make working today’s jigsaw puzzle into a game. The usual way is for each person to work the same jigsaw puzzle and see who finishes first. Instead, try this way: Two people work the same jigsaw puzzle, with each person getting fifteen seconds to find a matching […]
Joseph asked for a nice landscape jigsaw puzzle, and Susan asked for some fine art. Today’s jigsaw puzzle is combination of both. The painting is by Émile Appay, a French landscape painter who was born in 1876 and died in 1935. Please note that I did some color correction on the picture as the original […]
I just got a promotion at work, and my wife suggested I get a new picture done. Since they used a photograph of some old guy for the newsletter, I decided that perhaps she was right. Now my friend Bob is into photography, so I asked him to bring his trusty old Polaroid over and […]
I stopped by the tracks the other day to place a small bet. Unfortunately I got a little confused and stopped at the wrong tracks. Durn near got hit by a train. Anyway, Fay said she likes fast horses, and asked if I could do a jigsaw puzzle with a couple of fast horses. These […]
