I know myself and others have shared Red flowers in honor and in memory of Cee Neuner. What a beautiful way it has been to remember Cee in Becky’s #SimplyRed challenge.

2025 CFFC/Numbers Game #83-205 – Dawn of Time in RED

Looking Back

To the Dawn

of New Beginnings

Hey Dan, I know this is probably not what you are expecting or looking for in your Time of Day — Dawn theme for this week’s challenge, but with Coleman’s birthday this past Friday, the 25th I am still looking back over the Dawn of Time of Coleman in or with RED as he begins a New Dawn of New Beginnings in his life.

For this week’s Fun Foto Challenge (CFFC)-Time of Day I am combining it with Judy’s Numbers Game #83-205 and Becky’s #SimplyRED29 with a theme of Dawn of Time with Coleman.

Forage King

Bale Wagon/Retriever

Forage King Bale Wagons/Retrievers are used for efficiently moving and stacking hay bales. At the Greenway Stables Entrance where a vast number of horses are stabled and pasteurized a huge amount of hay is needed to feed the horses.

The Greenway grows its own feed for the horses and other farm animals living in the Greenway. The Bale Wagon/Retriever helps the staff to load and unload hay at various locations in the Greenway. They minimize manual handling of bales, saving time and labor.

2025 Which Way Challenge (CWWC): Any Dirt roads or dirt pathways or trails [Bonus if RED is included]

Hope y’all have had a fantastic week so far. It’s Friday already and time for another Which Way Challenge. This week we are looking at (CWWC): Any Dirt roads or dirt pathways or trails [Bonus if RED is included]. They can be any type of Dirt Road, Dirt Pathway or trail you travel as you take a walk/hike. Remember your Which Ways should be clearly discernible. Since the month is #SimplyRED for Becky’s Squares, I’ll be checking to see if y’all have any RED in your Which Ways. The photos can be ones you’ve taken recently or from your archives. Let’s all have fun!

Here are my Which Ways for this week’s challenge …

*Coleman wearing **RED** on the dirt trails.*
*Notice the **RED** on the Trail Signs.*

and a ***RED*** car at

Quite a number of my collages have RED in Squares so I figure this counts as Double as also included in #SimplyRED-Becky’s Squares
