When I took over the challenge, Cee had a number of combined challenges planned. These were opportunities to participate in two challenges at once. I want to continue this plan, but I’m not as familiar with the other challenges. So, rather than stack them back to back, I’m going to try to do about one a month. I’m also going to cheat, and do my other challenge (Thursday Doors) first. We finish our series with numbers today. Let’s have a little fun. Next week, we begin a series with colors.
I’m sure most of us will remember the nursery rhyme I’ve chosen for this week’s challenge. There are many variation, but that’s not too important. Look at the rhyme as written and use any or all of the bold words as prompts. If the words are numbers, use them the way you used them earlier. Otherwise, use the words themselves. This should give you lots of opportunities to choose a photo. New or archive photos are acceptable.
One, two Buckle my shoe;
Three, four Knock(er) at the (Thursday) door;
Five, six Pick up sticks;
Seven, eight Lay them straight;
Nine, ten A big fat hen

My gallery today includes photos for verses one, three, four and five. I’ll cover the second verse in my Thursday Doors post. I invite all of you to join, and, if you’re unfamiliar with Thursday Doors, you may not know about the Sunday Recap. If you join Thursday Doors through this challenge (on any day), your post will be included in the recap.
Bonus points – I never knew that the nursery rhyme had more verses, but click here to read additional verses and variations.












All five of my current books are now available in audio book form thanks to Amazon KDP’s Virtual Voice process. The voice is AI generated, but I can honestly say, it’s pretty darn good. The audio books are reasonably priced (all below $7 US) and, if you already own the Kindle version and want to add an audio version, you can do that for $1.99. There is a five-minute sample on the book page for each book. If you’re interested, click on any of the Dreamer’s Alliance book links below the image or on the link below for my latest book.
