Weekend Roundup -- 19-18 (for letter "S")

The 19th issue of Weekend Roundup for this year...
The week's prompts:
(1) Starts with "S"; (2) A Favorite; and (3) Silver
 

(1.a) Starts with "S":  These Steel bladed knives have Silver colored blades as they are made of Steel.  I use the large one to cut food with, really works well with melons.  Or celery.  The thinner bladed knife is my letter opener. 
(1.b) Starts with "S": Here we have:   a Spreader brush;    a Spatula;    a Spoon; and    another Spatula.  They were a present from me last year, I'm not sure there was an occasion.  There doesn't have to be one. 
I use the orange spatula to clean out my Peanut Butter jars when they approach empty.
. 
(2) A Favorite:  If you look close you can See the little Rabbit who thinks we are growing a garden for him in our back yard.  He is in the grass showing out from under and past the left side of the table.  Lately I have been spraying them with Rabbit and Deer Repellant.  It seems to help.

Rabbits are protected species here in our Fulshear/Katy/Cinco Ranch part of town west of the City of Houston (Texas).  The Flowers are Vincas growing from Seeds spread when they dried and fell last year.

(3) Silver:  

 Silver Seeds      

This  is my Dandelion from last week now gone to Seed, Silver colored seeds.  I have it in a small vase, it and another Dandelion and two weeds with Yellow Flowers were in my bouquet.


You can see the Silver Seed Wings, about to fly away when someone blows.
Below is before and after ripening.

    The bunny seems to be trying to hide in the grass. I enjoyed your S post. Have a great weekend.

    I love your spatulas - lightweight with a nice edge for easy coking! The knives look good, the silver steel blades of carbon for easy sharpening. We've had a cute bunny or two in our suburban yard just passing through. Have a nice week!

    I love your cheerfully-coloured spatula/spoon set. I have some similar utensils. The spreader brush is great for melted butter on top of bread going into the oven. I use the spatulas a lot, especially for getting the last of the yogurt out of the big tubs. Cute bunny! With 5 of them in the house, we have enough, but I never see wild ones around here. Funny since we are in the middle of the woods. Maybe they just hide all the time. Dandelions are like little faces of sunshine at the start of spring. They make me smile.
