Whatnot Wednesday: The Scoobies & Favorite Yellows #CFFC

2026-06-09 my Golden Barrel cactus
My favorite yellow:  The “Golden Barrel” cactus, in the backyard cacti bed, 2026-06-09

Welcome, all. The Scoobies are on hand, bringing cheer to help you over the midweek hump.  Dan Antion posted so many beautiful examples of yellow for his “Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge” (CFFC) that, with some encouragement from Daphne and Velma, I decided to participate.  The Scoobies and I spent the day looking around the house for our favorite “yellows.”  That’s my favorite yellow above.  That yellow barrel cactus has grown a lot in the past few years.  It was smaller than a soccer ball for years, and then suddenly started growing. Now I guess it’s about 15 inches across.

Now, I have to hand this post over to the Scoobies.

Daphne:   My yellow cactus is better.  It doesn’t have needles — it feels good to scrub on it.  That’s my favorite yellow.

Daphne checking out the cheek-scrubber a couple of years ago.  She still likes it.

Velma:   That scrubber is old news, Daphne.  We’re supposed to be finding “Yellows” around the house.  What else is there?  Oh wait, remember those tassel earrings that Yummy Human wouldn’t let us play with?  That’s a fun yellow.

Velma:  What about the new slipcovers Yummy put out this spring?  They’re part yellow.  You know the yellow print on them.  See? Right here on the one on the bench.

Daphne:  Good eye, Velma.  The same print’s on a white background on the sofas.  See, I’m pointing at it with my tail.  But I know that is not your favorite yellow.  You should be ashamed… you’re absolutely cray-cray for that fake egg stuff Yummy Human has for breakfast sometimes.  Honestly… what kind of cat would eat “plant based” pretend eggs?

Velma:  But Daphne… they’re sooo good…  I can’t help myself.  Yep, that’s my favorite yellow alright.

Daphne:  Hey, Yummy.  Please tell me you have a favorite yellow besides that cactus.  What? You used to have yellow high-top tennis shoes.  You’ve got to be kidding me.  You’re as nuts as Velma.

I didn’t have a photo, but Night Cafe helped me make this pair that looks a lot like the “most loved” shoes I ever owned.

Nice work, Scoobies.  I have one more image.  I imagined a yellow utopia city, and wrote my description of it at Night Cafe.  I made several versions.  Here’s one below.

  1. I love the Velma and Daphne conversations! But oh! Those yellow high-top shoes! Your yellow city just has to be a happy place. Yellow is such a happy color!

  2. I love your cactus, Teagan! I keep telling my mother I want one like that one when we walk past the flower shop, but we don’t have enough space (or an outdoors garden) to have it. I don’t often wear yellow, but it is a very cheerful color and I do like Velma and Daphne’s choices as well. Thanks for brightening up my Wednesday, dear Teagan! Big hugs and love to the Scoobies!

    1. It makes me happy that you enjoyed this, Olga. I know you weren’t asking for a recommendation, but regardless, I’m so terrible with plants that I would be afraid to suggest anything. I feel lucky when mine live — even the cacti. Hugs winging back to you and your mom from the Scoobies and me. 🤗 😽😸

  3. That cactus is amazing, Teagan. I didn’t know such a thing existed. I always picture cactus looking like the ones in Roadrunner cartoons or western movies.

    Good to see Jinx again. I still love that story.
