In case you have lost your way, follow the little bird, my sandpiper, to #MarketFriday! He knows the way to carry the challenge!
Today is #MarketFriday initiated by @dswigle (Denise, that's me!!) Join me as we share our markets across the globe. I always look forward to seeing what you send me! It is amazing to see different markets and cultures of our friends here on Hive.
Oh, yes! I am still recovering from the no sleep involved trip, and soooo far behind on life. I have had trouble catching up all week, so you will have to pardon the bird this week, but, I cannot make it in time to get a post up. When I am pressed for time, I put this up. My apologies!
As you can see, I don't know where I am going or what I am doing! It is temporary, I can honestly assure you!
STOP!! BRAIN TEASER AHEAD!!
Question: You are in a room that has three switches and a closed door. The switches control three light bulbs on the other side of the door. Once you open the door, you may never touch the switches again. How can you definitively tell which switch is connected to each of the light bulbs?
source
Answer: Turn on the first two switches. Leave them on for five minutes. Once five minutes has passed, turn off the second switch, leaving one switch on. Now go through the door. The light that is still on is connected to the first switch. Whichever of the other two is warm to the touch is connected to the second switch. The bulb that is cold is connected to the switch that was never turned on.
I have been to so many new places lately! I love to share and be shared with! I have always and forever liked to see different fruits and vegetables or products that are being sold. Perhaps I cannot get them here. So, yes! I would love to see yours! Don't forget to take photos wherever you happen to be shopping - whether it be the grocery store, the local marketplace or even an art gallery. Wherever money is exchanged for a service or for merchandise. Be different if you wish! It does not have to be a traditional market! We will love it! Don't forget to use the hashtag #MarketFriday and @dswigle.
Rules of the Road
Go to the market, or anywhere that you pay money for a service.
Take pictures! Be creative (or not, we don't judge!)
Tell us a little bit about the market, what brought you here?
Post the picture(s)
Use the MarketFriday Community Platform to post
Or drop the link into the MarketFriday post so I can find it
Have fun!
Please leave the link to your post here so it can easily be found by others. It helps you and me to have them in one place. Where else can you take such a quick trip around the globe? Thank you so much for joining us!! ❤
Of course, I can not go anywhere without leaving a flower behind. A flower. Always. #alwaysaflower
And just like that, this post is done. I hope you had a good time and learned a little something new. As always, I want to thank you for taking the time to visit #MarketFriday!! Thank you for supporting the challenge! Have a most fabulous day! Cheers!!
Even though many places have been cleared to carry on as normal, please wear a mask when you go out and use proper social distancing.
Thank you for visiting my post 💖 Because of you, I come back to post again and again, I am encouraged by you, for the time you take to visit, comment or even upvote. For all of these reasons, I am eternally grateful. Don't ever forget what a wonderful world we live in, people. Some days, it is not as easy to see, how wonderful it really is. Kindness counts. Wherever you go, whatever you do.
they set my aunts house on fire
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?
i’ve been praying,
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.
later that night
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,
"everywhere"
"everywhere"
"everywhere"

My brain is too dead for the riddle thing. Passed midnight and I need to wake up at 5.30 am to go for my 8am work shift but I made one earlier.
Haha! That is fine! My brain looked at that and wondered what the heck I was doing posting that. Oh, you really do need to get to bed, otherwise, you might as well stay up!
Thank you for dropping off the link!! Much appreciated!

Well it is always nice to see the old bird lol. Hope your MF is a good one! Got mine done early for me...
https://peakd.com/hive-196308/@old-guy-photos/shocked-on-market-friday
The old bird only comes out to hang when I am in a bind. Which seems to be a recurring theme for me. Thank you for getting it done and for dropping the link here before you head out the door. Much appreciated.
I do love that little bird, although he was never meant to be abused this way! I'm waiting for PETA to call!
#MarketFriday loves you!
!tip
I actually thought the bird from the other day would have made a good fill in to give this one a break now and again...😁
I am not going anywhere, I just had some pics ready for a change.
The chicken? I have used him! You made him for me, remember? :) I should have used him, but, I lost him in the files... although, I could have just downloaded him from the other picture... Oi! I wasn't thinking. Brain dead and all. You know.
Somehow, I thought you were headed to Virginia. Another day. Who knew. Have a safe trip.
No no no. You sent one from the other day and I said he would be a good candidate for an update. A feathered Florida variety...
The seagull? So braindead. Sorry. I'll have to look back and see and perhaps make a little #MarketFriday poster - just in case. You know?
You are not going anywhere? I just read that again. You truly are on again, off again.
Aaaand, yet @old-man-photos, you showed up in West Virginia a few hours ago...
Whatever truth fits. ;)

Hello beautiful, I have no market, things around here are a bit strange and my spirits are low.
but you are always in my heart just like the market, well the market a little further.
more that I have something new will be for you
Happy Friday
Eso no es para que te preocupes. Cuando lo tengas, me lo darás.
Todavia te quiero.
No se deprima ni se entristezca. Te enviaré un poco de sol para que te lo guardes en el bolsillo.

Well i took your advise and followed your little bird the Sandpiper all the way to Koh Samui Island...hehe 😅
Koh Samui Island , Thailand.
This really looks like my kind of place! She's so much for stopping by and showing me how you live! It's always a pleasure to see you and the only question I have is did you bring my bird back?
#MarketFriday loves you!
!tip
You would certainly feel at home on this island and your bird was having second thoughts about coming back but i told him mum would miss him so he is safely back home just to let you know he was great company 😂

I am following the bird!!! I almost did not make it... it is 6 minutes to my deadline...and here it is... a simple market!

Have a beautiful evening, my sweetest @dswigle! and take care 🥰🌺🤙

I know! Sorry about the bird but I just didn't have at any leftover time last night. You have deadline? You are good!
I look forward to seeing your post! Thank you so much for dropping the link!

Hehehe... a deadline to post any article of the day by 4 pm PST! That gives me from 12:01 am to 4 pm. That should be flexible enough right, LOL! And still, I almost did not make it! You know what... US economy (and I suppose the entire world) is all about the market, and I should remember that always... around us are markets of some form or another.
Everyone that knows you and that includes me most especially, love you and #MarketFriday, sweet @dswingle!
!tip
What a great way to work! I would probably get more done if I used your work ethic, but most everything I do is by the seat of my pants. At the moment, my time is not my own but someday I will get back there again. You are always such a lovely addition the #MarketFriday landscape! Thank you for that!!
#MarketFriday loves you!

Your life and how you go about your day is lovely, @dswigle! You live romance every day!!!
Someday, I want to be like you...
Yeah... I should start TODAY!!!!
🥰🌺🤙
Thank you! You are so sweet!

Through the years I've grown to love seeing your cute little bird photo rjning across the sandy beach, signifying the arrival of Friday and the weekend!⛱🐤🔆
The days and weeks seem to just slip by this year, as we jump from task to task whike waiting for the Coronavirus to hide its ugly face once and for all.
Happy Market Friday, Lovely!💕
Please try to catch some winks! @dswigle💤
That is so true! I have been waiting so long for it to be over that I think I am normalizing it in my brain in some ways. Ugh. I don't want to even begin thinking this way, making this the new normal.
Happy Friday, Nina! @ninahaskin

That's a lovely hibiscus. I should grow some haha. Here's my video for Market Friday :) Hope you are well! https://peakd.com/@chrisinphuket/ufyvmbhz
Thank you! Who doesn't love the beauty of the hibiscus? If you are somewhat stable in your living place, ( I know how you like to move about!) I would get a pot and grow one. Non-stop flowers. How can you not want that? :)
Thanks for stopping by and dropping your link!

Oh I used to have some really nice ones on a balcony some years ago :) Actually I have a pretty nice little garden here now. You can dry the flowers and make tea...
Yes!! I love hibiscus tea. You will have to post pictures of your garden! :) I would love to see it!
I will. Now its mostly papaya trees and I'm learning about the genders. Going to chop a male off today and try to make it a female. Quite a common thing over here haha...
Sound interesting. Gender reassignment for plants. Who knew?
Yes its quite funny. We'll see how it goes... apparently papayas can be male, female, and hermaphodites. A learning experience indeed. I feel like I have too much power now haha.

My pleasure @dswigle it is a challenge trying to stay ahead and i see you loved my olives 😅
Oh, for sure!!! I am always soooo behind! I do. As soon as I read that, I went over to the refrigerator and grabbed a handful!
Haha! #MarketFriday loves you!

Although it is time consuming which i am finding i still try to keep up there is so much more i would love to do but as we all know time is the essence here.

In our family those birds are called 'killedbirds' courtesy of my eldest nephew when he was my only nephew. At the time I had one of my 2 best dogs ever, a big English Springer. We had Killdeer that nested in the gravel near our irrigation system. Had no problem explaining to the dog that the nests and birds were off limits. But Brett would take him out to find exactly where the nests were so he could watch them.
You see, in our family, the Kildeer were considered good luck, and seeing one of the little bitty newborns especially so. The dog improved the nephew's chances dramatically :)
Market Friday is one of my very favorite features on Hive. Thank you for it Denise-and for the flower (s).
Haha! Killerbirds? Those little innocents? I actually didn't know that you had them in the desert! I have found I learn something new every day. This was my thing today, although I have a feeling there will be more in store for me. Now that was a great dog, although being a Springer Spaniel, they are excellent fetchers, right? They identify, but, do not kill. That, and the fact they are beautiful.
I am so glad you like #MarketFriday. It has grown into a fun challenge! Thanks for stopping by and supporting it!

Can I understand that you are on vacation? Then let me wish you a beautiful holiday...
My post of Friday: A Short walk to the Swedish Store
No vacation. I gave a car that was mine (I bought a new one in the Fall) to someone living in Florida, which is about 1,000 miles from me. She was going to fly up and get it when I got back from vacation in March, but, by then, COVID had hit.
Because of tax and registration, it was advantageous to get it to her quickly, so I drove down with another person following and drove back, with a short beach break. There is too much COVID in Florida for me to want to stay!
Thank you for stopping by to say hello and dropping your post here.
#MarketFriday loves you!
!tip
I understand! So no vacation this year?
No countries are open to me, being American and I have had to work more hours during this time than normal. Hopefully, when it all calms down. Until then, work, sleep, work... rinse and repeat. :)
I'm so glad you're healthy. Work makes time go by faster. Sometimes I'm glad that time passes faster ... another time I realize that it passes to my detriment.
:) You have to pick one!
Yes, of course!
Still, I'm an undecided man, @dswigle. I would probably have starved to death in a society as dynamic as the US.
